I’m told The Netherlands is DQ’ed because Valaanderen didn’t finish either of his 2 Motos, I’m looking for FIM guy to confirm.
That's a bullshit rule if true. Why the fuck does that matter? They still get a score.

saving the best for last ..how much horsepower is a 250 less than the 450 now ? i know the hp's are way up there but when the pilot manage to holding the bike on the pipe the weight advantage comes in play .

I saw Watson slide his 250 till almost flat to the ground and still the bike is light enough to hold it upright . NO WAY that maneuvre would work with a 450 .

today is the perfect example the MX2 class is not inferior against MXGP class , hope dickhead Luongo gets it !

I’m told The Netherlands is DQ’ed because Valaanderen didn’t finish either of his 2 Motos, I’m looking for FIM guy to confirm.
That would suck. Even for the 2nd moto that he didn't start, he should just be scored as last/40 in my opinion.....

T-dags was going great. Proud of our guys. Jess had a lot better day yesterday, but he is young and will get many more chances.

That's so dumb if true. Their 5th results should be his best score. A high 30 in race 1, regardless of dns in race 2. He started the moto. It's no different than having a dnf in both your motos.

France sits with 17 now but they have to rely on Tixier. I think the winning team will be around 30 points.
They could start 1-2 and no way they’d end up 1-2.

Can NL still classify? With Vlaanderen’s DNS as scratch result? 41 points is possible in that case.

That's exactly what I was wondering, They could easily go 1-2 in the final moto.
Its crazy.. Vlanderen was in P11 when his bike stopped, it would have been more than enough, even if he did not start the 2nd race..

Hey, DC can you please require all 12 tracks to dump 1,000,000 pounds of sand on top of the dirt like this race so USA can fight for not going to the B final in 2019 Assen?

is there some FIM requirement for adding X amount of sand to a track?
11 out of 12 Nationals are dirt. Southwick is sand. Southqick ain't about shit compared to the sand in Assen (you know, the kind that Dutch guys with works bikes race on from childhood?)

Tomac, Barcia and Plessinger will wake up for the next week going "I thought it was going to be on Reb Bud dirt". Smile

If this is true, does this mean that Herlings will not race the next moto? If so, it will be a massive disappointment.

I honestly don't mind that age rule.

We're at this weird point now in the USA where guys like Martin, Osbourne, Savatgy, etc. are staying in the 250 class for over 5 years.

What happened to guys like Dungey, RV, and Canard 3 years and moving up?


I know it's an economy thing but still.

Yeah it would be a massive shocker, nothing points to that being a possibility. But this is a freaking crazy race, anything can happen.

I honestly think Belgium is going to take this. Desalle and JVH are consistent and veteran and will both be in the top 10. So will Paulin, but I think Tixier is going to fold.

He can. Netherlands just won't have a shot at it. Switzerland has been down to two guys since yesterday and they have still been able to line up.

That would be bullshit. Israel entered a team of just 2 riders and were allowed to race.

Yea, all the mxgp fans were super respectful all along. Yea right, everyone needs to be more respectful of great racing period. I've seen disrespect & bullshit from all sides so your comment lacks any depth...

Ofcourse he will race. Herlings wants to race for personal pride. Individual classifications. Coldenhoff also.
