I've seen pics, looks like there's a big public turnout.

What do you think of the track? Bunch of jumps in a potato field. But looks alright.

Seems like a sandy circuit, Searle probably had no chance to begin with

I`d say 30-40k of people there. Maybe more.

Soil looks sweet. Bit flat though

Back problems apparently.

Well done to the Russians for turning out and supporting their race. As a viewer I'm warming to the track more and more. Maybe flat but it's certainly technical. be surprised if Zach can make the 2nd race, he looked to be in severe pain.

After those two DNF`s of Cairoli I expected to see a lot of aggressive riding but the fact is it got two times mellower than it was before.

Malin said about 25k, looks more than that though.

On another note these first motos have been really boring, if I were ocscottie I think I'd be sleeping by now Huh

He probably is...


Yeah, pretty spaced apart. Got sorta close between Desalle and Pourcel at the end though

Easier said than done but Clement needs to start taking it to Tony. Championship's drifting further and further out with every moto. He (Desalle) just doesn't look as sharp this year for some reason, not consistently anyway.

Cairolis pass on dedycker for the lead looked pretty weird, looked as though he just let tony past but tony didnt know what was going on and they were just riding along next to each other for a bit. Grinning

Yeah both those motos were remarkably dull compared to some of the previous races this year. Funny to see all those guys near each other without anything really happening for 40 mins.

Hopefully we will get to see a bit more action in the 2nd motos!

I'm hoping searle can get off to a good start and have a shot at the moto win, that points gap to herlings in the championship is starting to look too big to make up unless herlings runs into some problems. If searle isn't careful he will have van horebeek passing him in points soon!

Hard to tell because they pack people in some spots while the rest is empty but you know these guys, if they claim 25K it's probably about half or a third of that number.
Which is already good for a first GP
I mean, we have seen much more embarrassing crowds in recent GP past !

Man that was a damn fine charge from Tommy, amazing from how far back he came. Fans seemed to enjoy it.

He just blew by everyone! Hopefully Herlings has some more bad luck soon, let this championship go down to the wire

37 thousand people seems to be right number.
