2nd overall at the GP of Italy with a 3-3. In the first moto he went from 20 to 3rd. In the second moto, he went from 3rd to 1st for most of the moto, pulling away from the field by 18 seconds. He started to fade with 3 laps to go. Overall, awesome effort! Get this guy a contract!

Great ride. He had a 23sec lead at one point though. Herlings and Searle were on a mission after their first turn crash!

Was really pleased to see Michael leading that last race! Thought he had the win but Herlings just kept coming, but great to see just how much it meant to him in his interview

Just watched the replay of the race. Was on the edge of my seat shouting for Leib to pick it up with a few laps to go. I know I am from the UK but you have always got to shout for the under dog.

Hats of son, you took advantage of the downed riders and hauled ass on a very technical track. Fingers crossed this young man gets to keep his ride and see the season out. A very good ride and if he gets a little fitter and some more testing under his belt then a top 5 at the end of the season is within reason and who knows, his first gp win.

Good to see an American over here like Osbourne who rides to their potential. Roll on the next round where the heat of Mexico and Brazil hopefully play into his hands. The Euros will struggle in the heat. I imagine the tracks will be quite similar in terms of hard pack and supercrossy (so to speak).

It was hard pack but it had been over watered and developed massive deep, and very hard ruts everywere. Lots of jumps and rollers too, it was a very difficult track today

They tested at Ohlins during the week too,looks like it certainly paid off Smile

Wow that's far and away the best thing he's done as a pro. You almost never see someone become a strong contender for the win like that overnight. Good work

Congrats! Can't even imagine the Moocho Grande **'s it takes to just finish those races. Stellar performance.
I need to get Fuel TV or something, I don't get to see this stuff!...
