Aggressive pass from Paulin on Desalle!

Gajser is gone, he will go 1-1 if he stays on 2 wheels.

Yeah Herlings has zero aggressiveness in him.

Cairoli is dropping everybody else in second and he still isn't nowhere close to the speed of Gajser.

There is definitely something really up with Herlings. If he told the media what was up haters would call him up for making excuses. i still think his hand is in bad shape

And Gajser still has more up his sleeve to up the pace if necessary... incredible
And Cairoli is 2sec faster than anyone else already

Cairoli a little faster the last lap, lets see if he can close it in, but i doubt it.

1.48.2. from Gajser

That is an incredible lap time considering how much rougher the track is and how much dryer the dirt is. He did 1:47.9 in moto 1.

Gasjer and Cairoli are on another level here.

The hand is obviously bad I don't care what Jeffrey says about it, you can see it in the picture posted earlier. The bigger problem I think is in his head though. He admited it has been harder than he thought, which probably messes up his confidence even more when he probably thought he could be getting top 5s even with the injury. Italy in two weeks will probably still be pretty tough for him, but Valkenswaard and Kegums after that are probably the races where he can start to get back into the swing of things with better results.

Tonus is doing pretty good. Sad he couldn't show it in the USA

Big test going right now between Cairoli and Gajser, like a chess match.

Cairoli is keeping pace, will he drop the hammer and go for the win in these last 10 minutes...

Could very well be, AC just stole 0.5 sec last lap.

*And just like that next lap he loses that half second again.

Gajser looks like he's in control of this thing. Even if Cairoli takes it up a notch, I think Gajser can answer back.

Haha yeah, looks like he's going to settle for 2nd now.

More points lost but he's a gamer and this was a good moto for him.

Roll on getting back to Europe, three of the four tracks to kick it all off have been poor.

Herlings with a considerably better moto this time around, stayed in 9th for the bigger part of the race. I believe things will work out for him just give him some time, i'm looking at Valkenswaard to see him really turn it up a notch.

Nice weekend for Paulin! Everyone must be wondering what to do about Gajser though, he is just on another level right now.

AC has been close, had he not crashed both motos last race this would be a real tight points race right now.

Bingo! He lost 32 points to Gasjer in Argentina - I'm still expecting Cairoli to take this title.

True, but Gajser just looks like he can still step it up a notch if he needs. We'll see in two weeks in Italy, Cairoli is gonna be fired up for that one.

Why is everyone so surprised with Gajser, did you not see what he did last year? I only see him losing an overall at the 2 sand tracks. Sorry he is on another level.
