Geerts, Cooper, and Jett.

Guadagnini was a surprise to me. Great starts charged hard and every time he went over Laroccos Leap during practice he was waving to the crowd. or whipping it. The guy was having a lot of fun out there.

I thought Geerts was most impressive. Watching him and Eli was a lesson on how to charge and attack the track. Jett was a surprise; he was so smooth he didn't appear to be going as fast as he was.

Geerts, Munoz and Cooper. I was impressed by Renaux and his turn around from his two motos. Geerts in these conditions you would expect to be good but to push Eli and completely dominate the world number 2,3 and 4 in that moto was something. I think he dominates the MX2 class next year with 10 plus wins.

Jett. I thought that he was gonna holeshot, Lead half the motos and then fade from being tired on the 450.

But man was i wrong there. He really earned his win and second place comming through the pack both motos.

I agree. I expected most of the big names from MXGP to be really good but Guadagnini really surprised me. I was pretty impressed with Mitch Evans as well and even though I new Geerts would be good his first moto was epic. He hounded Eli right to the end.

Maybe the biggest surprise was the terrible day that Glen Mr MXoN Coldenhoff had. I expected him to rise to the occasion again but it wasn't in the cards.

Had no idea who some of the top euros are, but really enjoyed watching their smooth style, running a gear taller, just like yall said 4 years ago. ELI is the opposite, but im still a big fan of his.

To be fair I was joking and didn't think he would

But still I said it so 9, 42, 28, 35, 22, 11, 18, Supplementaries 6, 10, 38 (I realise he didn't go 1-1 so maybe change a few)

Dylan Wright went from dead last at the start to finishing 10th behind Cairoli and Wilson in the MXGP qualifier.

Not to mention a solid 10th in the last moto.

Renaux, Jett, Geerts, Guadagnini, Kullas, Cooper... This is why I love MXDN, there is always amazing performances from guys who might have struggled earlier in the season.

Tomac when he was partying hard after.
I've never seen that version of Tomac, but I like it!

Of course Coop in the 2nd moto. His front wheel didn’t touch the ground coming out corners. He was ripping it!

Perhaps an under the radar pick as his results were not stand out, but I was really impressed with how Kay De Wolf rode. He was 10th in Moto 1, just behind Hunter and Cooper and was every bit as fast as them. Moto 2 he went down and was 35th on lap 3 but got all the way back to 18th. He should be proud of how he rode

Yeah, but I feel like that’s normal for a kid of his age, he’ll figure it out

I had no expectations, because I had never heard of him.

But it was awesome watching (and listening) to Haakon Osterhagan (sp?) #96 Norway sending it over the leap on Saturday on a 2 stroke Fantic. He had to work hard to clear the leap, the crowd loved it!
