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!

 

It doesn't matter if there is a hospital nearby or not. He just wants to visit his own doctor, which is a very normal decision.

Yes, the series is more boring without Herlings. I hate to see him get hurt everytime but these days I don’t know if I should laugh or cry when it happens. It has not been the same since those pre-season crashes in Spain where he shattered his foot and I think the last one, when he did a photojob and crashed in low speed was a big turning point for him, both physically and mentally when he was forced to surgeries and rehabilitation for almost a year. He has not been the same since that crash. KTM is not very happy at the moment.

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.

Lotte Van Drunen is looking imperious out there in the sand. And, she's only just turned 16.

Lynn Valk , sister of Cas - both Fantic riders, currently in, and finished  second.  She's on the F, her brother, I assume   will be out there next on the 2t.

Track looks Very demanding, and that 'chicane' for a 1st and 2nd turn combo is a bit bloody daunting . I hope no one ends up in the MXGP hospitality pavilion....

He'll be OK.

But, if somehow something happens with Seewer and Watson, well, Lewis will need to be put on a 'safety' watch.

I'm bummed for Herlings again and I think the series NEEDS him but I really don't understand why people think Herlings is the possible cryptonite to Jett. Jett is clearly in a league of it's own and Herlings wasn't even the best in MXGP before his crashes this year.

Cripes I hope Van Erp is not hurt too badly. He was finally into the lead, at the time.

 

Going face / chest first into the ground was a hell of a hit, but then ( it appeared) having the bike come over and nail him with the rear wheel, just added another massive hit.

Cas Valk on the 2t lead for much of  the race, until an issue dropped him back to an eventual 3rd. Looks like it was a rear brake related  failure. Zanchi 1st, Bonacorsi 2nd.

Christ you really wanna go this way again, when herlings didn’t crashed im pretty sure he would have got this one so still on a track like Lommel I would like to see those 2 but again after this I fear the worst for herlings mental health. He is going out like Marquez I’m started to believe when 100% he is the fastest but after all those crashes and injuries and the young guys coming without that fear of crashes your going to a dangerous place

Go to AZ St. Elisabeth Herentals to see the legendary surgeon Toon Claes again. Bummer for the fans and for Jeffrey. I m afraid that he is close to be done. He was already not the same.

No guys like Herlings don't have wait an hour.

I had an treatment from dokter Norel an well famous MX dokter on the Netherlands who is retired now and I had an appointment.

The one after other MXer came in and I was the who was waiting.

Guys like Herlings and the big teams have direct phone number of the best dokters.

I know but that’s exactly my point, when you go to that doctor you need to go to that hospital. Btw  Norel helped me allot by doing something he was not allowed to but he did it for me and im grateful but not lang after that he retired. I’m afraid it has something to do with it. But it’s my body and I know what’s going on

Crashed by hitting neutral, Germany was a bad crash and unnecessarily I hope Mxon will be good for him. But I can’t enjoy this much bad luck anymore for a guy who is supposed to be world champion every year. Starting to wonder what’s next a world title or an injury 😔

Broken hip and leg is what I hear, hopefully it’s not true.
