#5: MXGP of Portugal - April 29-30

Did it blow up or did it just stop ? 

I thought he crashed and couldn't get it started again but I could be wrong. I thought he was facing the wrong the way when he was trying to start it

Crazy how they over water the track like this.

Adamo is special.

Weckman seems to have taken a big step up this year

Pancer running 6th, huge gap to 5th but still good to see

Adamo looks pissed

Herlings picking up the speed last few laps but might be to late, was 11sec off the lead before and now down to 4sec.

Herlings turns the afterburner on! Damn! Was almost 11 sec at one time, 2.026 between top 3 at finish!

Herlings just waited a little to long. Second moto gonna be epic, guess he will get going faster this time! 
 

Crazy speed and fitness to pull the fastest lap off the race on the the final laps. But in the end a smart played moto by Prado again.

Just watching laptimes 1ste moto

Herlings turns on a 1.50.4 on lap 17,

Febvre runs a 1.51.9(lap6) as fastest as Prado a 1.52.2(lap 7) All other guys are into the 53s or higher. 

Herlings his riding makes no sense

and after saying all that, they overwater it and completely ruin what they had yesterday... now it's one-lined and nowhere near as good

Agree, same as the race on Saturday. The loss there also wasn’t really needed. Holeshot and checkout and then letting them catch him, chills down and sprints again at the end for the win. 

This time way too lste,Jeffrey....also others can push if necessary...

Chambers is 4th (lap 2)

Geerts has gotta go down soon. Fastest lap of the race and he's leading on his own. He frequently gets the lead early and pushes to try and get a gap, then throws it away. Hope he doesn't, would be an amazing point day for him.

I think he likes to leave his unleashed speed for the end of the race, I think because he's had so much time off he gets arm pump if he goes all out like that.

Good start of the moto from Chambers, but think he blown himself up a bit. Really love to see Lucas Coenen ride as well

Raf Meeuwissen parted ways with Young Motion and also Polak didn’t line up, it is getting thinner by the week.

de Wolf has such a great style, also never lets off.

Whats up with Benistant?

Jago looked completely unbeatable this weekend. Anybody know what Chambers best result in USA is? Chambers had a great start. These GP riders are relentless and he couldn't keep up with the top 10 pace

Prado - again!

Prado wins the first moto and now going backwards . 

Absolutely beautiful seeing Febvre making that pass on Seewer on the place where Seewer was setting himself up for that double jump into the waves. Talk about racecraft

Renaux had a bad race here last year too

In my opinion that was just a bad decision from Seewer to leave the door open there. The time gained by doubling in wasn't enough to warrant leaving the door open like that
