True but still, Längenfelder on factory equipment shouldn't be over a sec slower than Lopes. But it's just practice, he's a good starter.

Looks like Cooper is the only one doing the leap.
Good lap by Kay now

Yep, Vialle would have been right in there. Excited to see him, Cooper, Jo and Hunter go at it next year.

There's the Jo we expect to see... On lap 12 cuts to .6 to Cooper.

If it’s a mudder tomorrow Cooper could very well be our best guy.

Kinda hard to make up four seconds. It’s not like these guys are taking it easy trying to bring home a championship with a points lead. It’s go out and go as fast as you can and learn the track.

The AMA guys all over the MX2 class (yes it's practice)... Needed Vialle to mix it up from the GP's.
Think about the age rule in MX2,Vialle not racing and Geerts riding the 450.Cool

Yes, but it's not like you don't have GP winners in there still.

I'm a big fan of Simon and really expected his pace to be a bit better.

On another note, Enzo showing very well.

De Wolf is 1 second off and this is his first time in the USA. Temper your enthusiasm a bit.

Prado was really good here in 2018 too... With his starts, he's going to be fun to watch.

He killed every one on a 250, why not on a 450
That's pretty easy to answer. He also killed it in his 450 rookie year, was the second best guy basically and contending for the title. Then he got covid and didn't race the rest of the season.

2021 he also looked really good until his crossjumped Herlings, from there on everything went downhill that season.

2022 he looks off, but it seems like every rider on an austrian bike struggled this year. Cairoli said in an interview that he was working with the new guys and Prado and they tried to figure out the new model because Prado really struggled to find his flow on it.
I have no doubts that we will see a better version of Prado next year, he is still only 21. He will still get a few mxgp titles no doubt.

btw…the U.S. has done this many times through the decades when they would beg top riders to go and they wouldn’t. Pissed me off every time. Show up and prove it or shut up.

He had a very good EMX125-season and was excellent at Lommel. He can go for personal succes this weekend.

B-Final, I'm afraid. I can't see them make it to A-final straight away.
