Wow, looks quite bad right there. We haven't had that much rain in the south of the Netherlands today.
Non stop rain here in Amsterdam today, same tomorrow.

Will be a good show anyway. Simpson and Paulin will be on it aswell. Still a shame it has to be Assen, so many good tracks in the Netherlands to choose from.

Miska was (is ) a great rider, good to see some names in that class. Looks like it dried out some.

why because its a man made track like Southwick and all SX tracks ? all the riders seem to like it a lot , racing was good last 2 years , 35000 people on the stands and gets more media coverage in the netherlands as any GP ever before ... so what is the joke ??

Decided to not ride that session because of the conditions. Smart move, it would be stupid to risk an injury.

I thought you needed to ride 1 lap or more. Herlings also needed to do it in Mexico with his femur a few years back.. Or the rules are changed

I think that is the case in timed practice?

I don't think that a rider has to do the free practice.

It compliments the series in my opinion, draws a good crowd and provides good raacing! No joke!

MX2 qualifying race on the way, track looking much better already. Lieber out front, Covington right on his back wheel. Jonass went off the track on lap one, down in 27th.

Huskys 1-2-3. Covington again proving he's worth that MXoN pick, while Mewse again proving he would have been worth the pick for GB. He has really been good lately.
