You probably heard it here first, that dude is a badass... Great starter and incredible physique. 7th in the first moto, no surprises for us europeans. Looking for another top 10 in moto two. Super underrated rider.

Not to bash on Harri, but this speaks a lot how weak the AMA field is right now.

He is a great sand rider and had it been southwick i would not have been suprised, but it did not expect him to do this good.

i mean, AP and AC (that he was close to on the track) is factory riders, and that is something Harri never have or will be.

Yeah, I guess that tells you a lot about the level of your series and factory riders right now.

 

Oh and you call Harri a great sand rider? Well, he finished worse in the Lommel GP couple weeks back than in Unadilla now. You make your own conclusions about that.

Just goes to show, that we can take the 40 riders make the quality better and throw it the F*ck away… 

8-14 in Lommel MXGP with 28 riders in race one and 27 in race 2. And he’s known as a great sand rider has always been. 
 

Lommel is the only GP he’s done this year. And this is his first ever National.

 

25-28 mxgp riders with all top factory guys like Prado herlings Seewer Febvre Gajser Fernandez coldenhoff Renaux etc is’nt bad quality at all.

My series? And yes, Harri often makes better results at sand tracks like Kegums than hard pack..

Was this the same position Shaun Simpson got at Unadilla in 2015 ish. against a very deep field ?

Kullas races the UK nationals series. UK tracks are ripped deep as fuck and watered within an inch of their lives regardless whether it’s a national meeting or a club track… 

Hes not just good in sand, but you literally had Unadilla prepped like the stuff he rides week in, week out over here. He’s a good, solid, consistent pro and underestimated a lot.

Kullas’ ride will go unrecognised and ignored like Herlings educational lesson did the other year!

Denial is a cruel mistress

Great results, very happy for Harri. I knew he could do good, but to actually make it happen in both motos in your first attempt is very strong.

I wonder if the results of Kullas and Butron will lead to some US teams offering outdoor only deals to (ex)GP riders?

just as an FYI, Harri rode for Factory Suzuki, Factory Yamaha and Factory Husqvarna in his MX2 career... he's had a really good career and its great to see him mixing it up and getting good starts on both sides of the Atlantic

No surprise... Just LOL.

Kullas sure had a great day, his best in a long time, which gives you a great opportunity to badmouth the US championship (and avoid to look at some other euros results)... Thanks for coming.

Love your avatar, btw.

I literally just looked at the results and said out loud “who the hell is Harry Kullas?” Got my answer.  Great ride. I don’t follow MXGP much but I’ve never even heard his name in passing? Did he just ride out of his mind yesterday?

Great ride by Kullas! But why disparage the USA Nationals with the comments? If the USA is so inferior to Euroland, why come here? You do realize the US teams & most riders main focus is SX? Phone should be ringing soon for that outdoor only contract👌

It was really cool chatting with Kullas and Leok, both seemed to really enjoy checking off a life long dream of doing a national here. Kullas is in for the last two rounds as well.

What’s the chances of talking John Adamson 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 who has done a few AMA rounds

Lets see, there are 31 riders entered into the GP of Sweden.  There were 20 non-American riders signed up for Unadilla.  It is really cool when foreign riders race the AMA.  The only thing that sucks is their message board fans.  Is arguing an inferiority complex really the best way to celebrate the riders effort?

If you know him, tell him to come to the post-race media area. Laughing

Great stories like Harri Kullas are being missed by the broadcast. 

There are others too that could be incorporated for some variety.  I love watching Jett and Chase, but could use some reporting on others too

Dude was smooth, fast, stylish and consistent. A standout from practice to the end.

Mxgp has far more talent than the US nationals right now. And yes im an american. They ride moto 24/7 and were focused on supercross. The euros have gotten unbelievably better in the last ten years.

Kullas had great mx2 career going but then got hurt couple times just bad moment and was left out with good rides. Had to kick start MXGP career with private efforts. Been racing nationals different countries Spain/UK. He been riding really good and has amazing fitness as well. Happy to see him get good results last weekend.

Their two time mx2 champion is barely getting top ten over here. 

You think the current two time AMA 250 champ would be in the same position over there right now?
