Prado has got to be one of the weirdest racers I have seen. The fact that he wins by starting first is not just because of track position. He's just faster, gaps everyone and then controls the race. When he doesn't start first he's just slower even if he's not in traffic. It's not like anybody held him up and he finished 6th because he couldn't move up further. He started 3rd or 4th and went backwards (both weekends).
1-6-1-6, barely made the podium both weekends and leads the standings with 100 points. lol
I don't know if you have seen the Sardegna mxgp last year, but if not you should definitely rewatch it. Vlaanderen was unreal to watch that day.
Yeah was great last year too and hot …hearing it’s tougher than lommel seals the deal
Herlings is something to watch in the sand. I don’t think he is at his best but just snuck up behind riders and found lines no one else seemed to duplicate.

its so strange that ktm made that 100gp pitboard already... Herlings said many times he doesn't have fitness and speed,but suddenly can be on podium and win GPs. He is making the show)also I agree Prado also is interesting racer,he can gap everybody one moto and struggle with speed other moto when he isn't 1st. I have a lot of questions now
Do you think is has something to do with line choice? Like, when he's out front he can stick to the fast line but as soon as he has to pass/defend (sometimes simultaneously) he just can't get to grips with the track?

Fun to watch Herlings hang off the back of his KTM on the gas.
Jago next year is going to make a impact on the 450 i feel.
Great racing this weekend. Man that last 3 - 4 laps of the 2nd 450 moto , was incredible to watch!
Side note : Watching DeWolf in the sand is really fun. That kid just hangs it out like a mad man haha.
Killer track. Great racing. Promoter had to lose his hindquarters though.
Did they do any track work between 450 M1 and 250 M2? Pretty crazy MX2 was faster both times around, and both classes had consistent times between motos
EDIT: Just watched the highlights, there did appear to be track maintenance
It certainly happened a lot sooner than anyone thought, but maybe that pitboard was made prior to last season...
Herlings didn't acknowledge it too much post race. Maybe he really has changed his mindset.
Has to be something like that. Or maybe he gets stuck in a slower rhythm if he can't go 100% speed from lap 1.
But I'd assume that's something you can fix by practicing with other riders instead of alone
He will probably make lots of impacts.
Anyone know what's going on with Haarup and the Dixon team?
Haarup has left the team and will be on a 450 somewhere. Dixon has a new rider lined up but it hasn’t been announced. Gifting is the only real logical one I can think of
Pit Row
Interesting. I wonder if Haarup will ride Evans' bike while he's injured?
Gifting is logical yeah, but, that might be tricky if he's set on racing the British on a GASGAS with conflicting sponsors to that of the Dixon team. But then Mewse did a similar thing last year when he filled in for DIGA.
And 3 seconds a lap slower than Geerts while doing it.
That second 450 moto was bonkers 🤩
So you are saying Geerts would have won the 450 class on his 250 if he lined up with them?
Sounds about right!
Jago Geerts is gonna be a superstar IMHO.
Not based on what we have seen so far, He couldnt beat Vialle and when Vialle was out his team mate won the title.
Renaux came in and leap frogged him, its his 6th full season in the class, and if he wins , this year, which he should, as its a weak field compared to the last 2, can you see Coldenhoff, Seewer or Renaux getting the flick for him to be on a 450?
Dont get me wrong, he is a great rider, but he ends up on the ground a lot, and he wont be able to ride his way through a deep 450 field like he does in a 250 race.
Can't be serious...Geerst set his fast lap on the 2nd lap. After track maintenance and holeshot. Herlings set his fastest lap on lap 14. When track was already destroyed by mx2 and mxgp
Geerts gets Coldenhoff’s ride. I’m not sure there will be too many debates over that at Yamaha
Sure but we've seen before that some riders are better on the big bike and vice versa. Geerts rode pretty awesome on the 450 at Red Bud in the fall.
Who thought Ruben Fernandez would be a HRC 450 rider and win the opener a couple of years ago?
Yeah even if Coldenhoff would have a career year it doesnt make much sense to let either Seewer or Renaux go in favor of Coldenhoff due to his age and the results of Seewer & Renaux. And i don't see Yamaha keeping 4.
Imo Coldenhoff needs to have a 2019 season to get a shot at a good factory ride next year.
The amount of years and effort that Yamaha have put into Geerts and the promise he showed on a 450 already, there’s no way they’re gonna let him go
