USA are currently 21st. If they don't make the A final after the next race the chances are they'll win the B final which gives them the last spot in the A final.

This shows again, Herlings and Cairoli can go to a track they've never raced, in a country they do not live, and kill it.

Tomac has to hold a record for mechanicals on a Kawasaki in a season and total.

0 mistakes from the Hoff in first, coming from a 21st gate pick. Where the tards at that said he had nothing for Barcia?
Nothing to do if.... Actually he was smooth and Barcia like a crazy chicken. Thanks to the googles otherwise 20secs easy.

Btw.....great ride for Barcia and AP , even though AP had a wreck. Now if Eli can get his strait , we may have a chance to podium.

You take the square root of the qualifying position, times by 3.5, and the 4th significant place of that answer, is the team's respective gate pick...

If Plessinger didn't have that mistake we'd be right in there with NED, Italy, Germay, etc.

Looking forward to great racing tomorrow but Herlings might make his race look boring. Cairoli looked amazing too. Hopefully they and Tomac, Roczen all get good starts and we have an epic.

Tomorrow is another day!

They can and probably will still win it, Plessinger will be the key!

Barcia is the man. Everyone knocks him for all of the things that make him strong in this exact situation.

Holland will have 1st and 21st gatepick tomorrow. It is upto the team to decide which rider will go to the gate 1st and who will go to the gate 21st. This for all 3 moto's.

btw, hello Langston-fan. Been a long time Smile . My youngest kid, who wasn't even born when you visited me back in 2003, now rides your old smoker Smile

Looking forward to great racing tomorrow but Herlings might make his race look boring. Cairoli looked amazing too. Hopefully they and Tomac, Roczen all get good starts and we have an epic.
An epic what? Today's result is not crucial. Didn't you see people going smooth, passing fast, keeping the line. Tomac was all over the track. He was well over his limit. Tomorrow 40 people there. And Anstie, Coldenhoff, etc, etc. Forget about Herlings and Carioli. He is not in the fight.

This was only for gate picks. USA still very much alive for the top spot. NLD was 21st at the gate today, and came out on top in the end.

That being said, if the track stays relatively dry, AP might as well sweep MX2 (and pass quite a few mxgp/mx open guys), and ET & JB will be in the top 5-10 at least.

Cairoli and Herlings proving they are definitely on another level, i love the us nationals and tomac but cairoli couldnt even ride 6 days ago, dropped roczen, tomac spent the whole race behind searle, herlings nearly a minute down on first lap, caught searle and passed him in about 3 corners and left him. Maybe tomorrow will prove different but in my eyes, tomac, Roczen, musquin etc are just at the same level as the rest of the mxgp field after Herlings and cairoli

Each team has the gate pick of their qualifying position for one of their 2 riders, once 1 rider from all 20 countries has picked a gate the remaining riders pick a gate in the same order. Eg Netherlands will always have the 1st and 21st gate pick for each moto tomorrow

Take away the bad luck and USA is right there. Eli's bike dying is a fluke, APs crash was just bad luck. Still have the best chance to win IMO, unless more bad luck happens.
