A lot of drama and gnarly crashes on Sunday... But today action restarts with WMX and EMX250.

To continue about those crashes: I really don't understand why they turn a perfectly prepped track into a swamp by watering it so much. MX2 always seems to race their first laps in the slop, so the track gets chewed up very hard before the start of MXGP.

Yeah they lost their mind and ruined the track for the first moto.

Damn that WMX race was close between the top 4. Something like 12 points between them now with 3 motos to go.

TC's crash on Sunday. Looks like he did his nose when he hit his face on the bank.

That is such a bizarre crash. With so much riding taking place on that track this week the track's taking a beating.

This De Wolf kid is made of steel. That was a pretty hard crash but he didn't waste a second getting going again. Impressive.

As soon as he stops the crashes, he'll be on the podium constantly.

Let's hope for a safe day of racing today...

Was listening to a podcast and they were saying he wanted to ride in moto 2 right after his crash

Geerts tipping over whilst in lead, he really is bottling this title.

He has crashed what 5 or 6 times in these 3 motos in mantova? Can't win a title like that. He had to take advantage of these sand rounds... Vialle will be good in the last 3 hard pack tracks

Vialle extends his lead after lots of mistakes from Geerts in this moto.

It's impossible to pass on this track when the riders are too close in speed unless the rider infront makes a mistake. Seewer might be slightly faster than Prado but not enough.

He could still win the title, which is completely insane. The other riders (Herlings included) should be worried.

Seewer really needed to get Prado that moto. I love this class. What great racing.

Unbelievable how many mistakes he already made this season. I think the sudden death of his mentor Dirk Geukens affected him more than we can imagine.

Stop thinking about Vialle or the title and go for GP- and racewins. The rest will follow automatically.

I chuckled a bit after Cairoli said in a pre-start interview something along the line of " my nose is small, so I break it to make it bigger" Woohoo . Got 4th, in front of TG, so made a couple of points back on him.

Prado is, as always, impressive, and Seewer really has stepped things up. Good to see Febvre up there, too.

Beato and Evans each 6th in their Motos - I so hope they avoid the Aussie curse of getting hurt. And, the 'other' side of my families favourite racer, TKO, is doing well, since he got his body back together - I had my nieces on a video hook up, making sure I was cheering him, while They were going nutso..........

I did not know that, sad to hear that.

But as for his crashes, he has probably crashed in 50% of the motos? Or at least it feels like he crashes every other moto.
