I don't care who wins the race, but if the racing is like this it's us fans who win!

omg I couldn't believe Herlings passed Cairoli in that last lap... Last 3 laps were the most insane I ahve seen in a long time,... Herlings was destroying those corners, can't wait to see the battles between these two and possibly Gajser! Gonna be a great season.

Amazing finish. Let’s hope TC doesn’t retire for a while. Without him the MXGP class will be boring as all get out.

TC has signed until 2020 - hopefully he can keep this level up. Amazing race, Herlings was ridiculous in those closing laps.

Man, that was off the charts !! Hooked the Mac up to the TV in the Plough (local pub) with all the lads round ! Had a sweepstake going and have to say the whole place was on their feet for the last few laps of that MXGP 2nd race ! Brilliant !! We put last nights Supercross on during the interval between 1st and 2nd races, and everyone went to the bar lol !

That’s good news.

Herlings corner speed is so out of this world. It’s not even fair. Lol

Everyone was quick to jump on the Lawrence bandwagon, and the kid is very talented, but the reality is that he doesn't have a single overall victory yet. If he was on the same bike as Jonass I think he would challenge him for the title, but on that Honda I think he will be quite a way off by the end of the series. I can see Olsen being Jonass' biggest threat
He went 2-6 solid round ....him n Olsen will be beating jonass b4 too long...

Just got back from hockey to watch the second motos. Holy crap.

Jonass looks like he’s gonna make MX2 pretty boring, but luckily we have Tony and Jeffrey. They aren’t best friends, but the respect they have for eachother makes it that much more enjoyable to watch them go at it. I just hope they can stay healthy the whole season. What a start to the season, bring on Valkenswaard!

Just finished watching on TV, What an incredible finish to moto 2 in MX1, Jeffery is an animal! Fastest lap on the last lap to take the win.

MX Sports really needs to watch this racing, tracks do NOT need to be slot car racing tracks with 2ft deep ruts along the entire track. This made for great racing and the riders could use every inch of the racing surface.

I think we've talked about that, the mxgp riders are used to more variety and can use more lines, now im in no way saying the us riders are less in anyway shape or form just that sx and samey outdoor tracks have had an effect.

This mxgp is good stuff and many more fans could be gathered with the right promotion...

This is what makes Jeffrey such a compelling rider and challenger for Tony, he really is as hungry as a rider can be by any measure available - he won't give in, neither will Tony... If they can both just stay healthy we're in for one hell of a treat guys.

That track has to be my favorite track on the circuit. Looks like a blast to ride. The huge up and down hills and traction everywhere. Big jumps. Awesome scenery. Doesn’t get much better. It’s seriously looks like something out of a video game.
