Valaandrin is out!

He got hit with a rock in the eye and the doctors won't let him race. Sucks for Netherlands.

Now Herlings has nothing else on his mind but to destroy

Top 10 out of Plessinger and top 2 out of Barcia. France is tough.

Weird tweet from Racer X. Vlaanderen is not lining up for the second moto?

FYI guys:

Broadcast talent (Malin & Emig) are given direction, scripts with talking points, roles, and in-ear constant communication with updates by the broadcast truck and the huge of people in the truck. The truck team is all led by the show director and the show producer.

It's not two guys sitting at a desk and someone happened to turn the mic on. They have clearly defined roles and responsibilities on broadcast. One of Emig's responsibilities, clearly, is to explain things in layman's terms to the more casual viewer.


Race Talk:
- Herlings is beast.
- Crazy ride from AC222....
- Bummer for Plessinger, we know he's a great mud rider. Feel pressure got to him here and he tried to shoulder too much of the load
- Tomac got 4th but expect more. He shouldn't be 4th behind a 17-year old 250F rider and taking laps upon laps to pass Tommy Searle.
- Didn't our guys race Supercross back in the 80's, 90's, and 00's when we dominated the MXdN?
- Prado had a sick ride. Felt like Villopoto's ride back in the day, what was that 2007?
- 4 more solid scores needed. USA needs to not fall down and take it as it comes.
You forgot the 'what do roll offs do' lessons.

Does anyone still doubt Paulins selection for MXDN?
He was on point. You know he had to be getting, at least a little, into Herlings head at the leap. Not enough to effect the outcome but had to at least make JH think about pulling the trigger.

Was a great race, it will be awesome to see what happens later on.

Can anyone tell me why there was MX2 riders in the MXGP race? Now they have to race again in 20 minutes? How the hell does that work.
You must be new here ?

It has always been this way...
Moto1: MXGP + MX2
Moto 2: MX2 + OPEN
Moto 3: OPEN + MXGP

Each class gets 2 motos.

Anyone having stream issues, I can confirm that Chrome seems to work best. I've avoided Chrome on my Macs because they are memory pigs but for whatever reason MXGP-TV works better on it than on Firefox or Safari.
The other good thing about Chrome is I have my IPad hooked up to the TV with the adapter, and Chrome shows the feed in full HD 16:9. Safari only shows it in the smaller iPad format with black bars on both sides of the TV.

Wow, if Vlaanderen is out that obviously changes things up but for the USA but they have to get a really good moto out of Plessinger. Like he has to be in front of Tixier and Ferrandis this moto.

Sucks for Vlaandren and team NL. Gutted for them. They had a real shot at winning this thing.

Ah man, I really thought NLD had a chance this year. Was pulling for them to have a good show and it looked like they would.

I agree about JH. I wonder how far up he can lap??

Imagine if Febvre would've been in for France, they would've already won it haha... I just can't see Tixier pulling off a top 10. USA has to be able to win this.

Damn, that’s horrible news. Hope it’s not a serious injury to his eye.

That sucks. Herlings will dominate the whole thing and won’t even get to celebrate it on the podium. Oh and I really hope his eye is going to be okay. How crazy cause redbud isn’t even known for having a lot of rocks! Shocked
