Matiss Karro had a crash there last year and it put him on a sidelines for almost half a season. And he had a crash today while in 8th place with two laps to go. He say`s he doesn`t remember thing right before crash. Latvians will not be saddened to see it go. PS. Jonass had crashes in both heats there as well.

Don't forget Pit Beirer's big crash that left him paralyzed. And then there was a real bad one from Valentin Teillet today.

Tommy basically said in Valkenswaard what everyone else said i.e Jeffrey is too damn good in the sand - in other words he (Herlings) can have this one. After the day was done he was happy to get out of there with a podium and everyone understood the vein in which he said it. He never said "I let him win" as in, "I could've beaten him at any time but just didn't fancy it".

The comments from Herlings today... it was almost like he wanted everyone to believe he was just toying with Searle that 2nd moto, like he could've taken the win at any time. Which is ridiculous, obviously. I mean clearly both riders rode their socks off.

Not beating up on JH and I'm not a die hard TS fan either. But it was a funny statement to make imo.
Though maybe he meant to say something else... idk. Of course it doesn't really matter.

Cracking race from both riders regardless.

Yeah,any news on Valentin?

The Roelants/Anstie scrap was a sight to watch,I wouldn't be surprised if there was some trouble after that

Great 2nd MX1 Moto and Herlings/Searle last race tooSmile

I attended the second moto MX2 press conference at Valkenswaard and Searle said something like "no one can match Herlings in the sand" which didn't strike me as arrogant.

Quite the rivarly developing between Searle and Herlings. We are in for a treat.. Where is this interview of Herlings?
4/23/2012 3:27pm
Roelants really rode awesome (again). I'm hoping he can mix it with Herlings and Searle for the title ... You never know Wink

Steedmills I honestly think you're misjudging this a bit.

Searle can come across as a bit arrogant at times I'll give you that, but so can Herlings, which Im sure you'll agree. But its common for top class athletes to be confident in themselves, especially when they feel they're on top of their game.

I know that the interview which annoyed you initially was where Searle was pretending not to know who the 'fast dutch sand rider' was... but Searle was obviously playing around. He knows full well what Herlings is capable of and the things both have both been saying in interviews are so Ludicrous that its clear that is just a bit of gamesmanship!

Think of it like this; Searle is one of the oldest and most experienced riders in the MX2 class now and he undoubtedly sees this year as his best chance at winning a title. His main challenger is a very self confident (and exceptionally talented) 17 year old who takes every opportunity to declare himself 'The best sand rider in the world". Thats fine, because he just might be, but its still a pretty bold statement for a 17 year old kid. Searle probably started it to take the piss out of JH's comments and JH is giving as good as he gets in return. There is bound to be a bit of rivalry between the two main contenders for the championship anyway and they're just trying to get under the others skin!

I don't necessarily agree with it, I like riders to show respect to each other as Im sure you do, but it is kind of amusing to watch.

Roelants certainly looks good on that Kawi this year!

I don't want it to be a two horse race, so the more the merrier I say, but I can understand why you don't want the Dutch guy to waste his energy on this this silly vocal battle and lose his focus Wink Smile Luckily for him I think he's good enough to win the title anyway!

GP OF BULGARIA

As you could see, Valentin plummeted during the first round of the GP of Bulgaria.
To reassure and thank its many supporters, Valentin has posted this message today at 19:00

After the 1st was very scared minutes I could not feel my legs, I can say I am very lucky.
Large hematoma in the lower back, and touched lung. I quietly walk again but is very wrinkled and headache.
Thank you for your messages of support, it makes me happy and makes me feel good.
