Round 16 of the FIM Word Championship of The Netherlands is about to kick-off. A brand new track that never hosted a big event like this before, but very experienced forces behind the scences are involved to make it a great event.

Timetable

Entrylist MXGP

Entrylist MX2

Entrylist EMX250

Entrylist WMX

a lot of wildcard riders on all entrylists, which de Reuver wasn’t happy with to say the least.

Great entry, hopefully will scrub the memory of Uddevala from my head.

There will be no qualifying in mxgp. In the end 40 or less showed up.

We actually had qualifying at Arco this year and i think switzerland as well.

Wonder how this GP will turn out racing wise. Track isn’t really easy to pass on wich showed in previous Dutch Masters races.

Hopefully they leave it rough and get enough water in to get the sand loamy and loose, otherwise it will have a pretty hardbase underneath.

I think we will be in for a burner in the MXGP class. With a start dependent track and Herlings not being the best starter we know we are in for a battle zone to the finish. He really we love to win his home GP, as also Coldenhoff does!

I really wonder what they’ve changed trackwise. They usually have long straights with tiny tabletops which is a little cookie-cutter for GP riders.

But it’s pretty cool to see a GP at your local track you spent so many saturdays being a weekend warrior.

This is a pretty nice racetrack, but oh my gosh is it going to get rough here this weekend.

I get to ride this place after the GP, next week, I hope they fix the bumps first😝.

if you guys are coming, be prepared for quite a walk to get from parking to the track, there is no on site lot except for VIP pass holders. 

there will be a huge crowd here this weekend, I was told that ticket sales are very good…

I checked it out as well today and I wonder how the parking is arranged? Does there go a bus from a P&R or is it just a free for all?

What did deruver say exactly?

He posted some things on his story about regional riders attending the GP. One of the few times I disagree with him. Wildcards are way better here then at oversea’s GP’s

This is starting to get ridiculous, he can’t catch a fuckin’ break. As soon he gets back on the bike and starting to speed up he fall over and get hurt again. Is he made of porcelain? Probably. I think the end is near for him. He ’ll clinch a race and there but never win another championship.

Wow imagine all the Dutch fans coming to watch him finally get a gp win on home ground.. this is a punch in the face and for Jeffrey I think how much can he take mentally to go through with this shit its not funny anymore the guy has almost more broken bones then Pastrana and that’s not from  Races Travis is a crazy stunt man.. unbelievable

Does anyone know how it happened?

When I hear Herlings is injured, it doesn’t surprise me these days. I was really looking forward to him put on a clinic this weekend.

Herlings is the new COW.

his dad is so pissed he is sitting in a corner away from everyone all by himself staring at the sky…

This place is packed with fans on a Saturday, it’s going to be insane Sunday…

It was a free practice, Prado was 29 or so there was nothing to be proved.

He was taken a inside corner way to fast, made a 360 and that's it, lucky he didn't brake his neck again.

And now he on his way to an hospital in Belgium,  there is a big hospital 10 min away from the circuit!
