I kept from commenting on that one. There are way to many people that don't realize how fast some other countries are.

Anything is possible. 🤷‍♀️. Long shot, but really other than France and Australia everyone is kinda a long shot to win.   RJ crashed while in the lead... Maybe he rips that start Sunday and we see one of those rides from him where he is pinned and doesn't crash?  

But yeah we basically need a couple horrible dnf motos from France and Australia to have any chance.

I can’t remember a MxDN where this many teams had a chance for the podium. To bad France is at full strength. If they were not, this race would be nuts this year.

Unfortunately more injury news. Swedish Isak Gifting has suffered a damaged shoulder, ligaments are crushed and he’s out.

Troll... those days are over. Everyone knows that the US can win with their best riders, france can win with their best riders, and alot of other countrys can win aswell. Im just happy usa are there racing, And so are you! To be honest, the mxon would not be nearly as exciting if the usa were not there.

Jason Thomas gold while Jett got behind Kenny “hopefully he’s not trying to do any math, it’s just qualifying” Laughing

If the qualifying races count towards his big bike career, then you need to add another defeat since Ferrandis beat him last year.

Renaux also won moto 3 at Red Bud last year. Everyone seems to forget that and thinks Lawrence won that moto just because he finished in front of Sexton. 

Yup, Renaux is fast as f...

He is an mx2 world champ, and that was on a yami, which in europe is not common. What impressed me is he also has the heart of a lion, the kid is starving like he didn't eat since xmas. He is totally like a young ferrandis, with a bit more finesse like Paulin. He would do well in sx if an agent wants to look at him. I would guarantee 1k for a title. 

I would put 500 bucks on Benistant too, 500 for championship, 1k for win. Same profile but with just a bit some polishing to do to get the consistency to win championships. I think he is a bit like Kitchen, a ton of raw potential to polish, but when it is dialed, you can get a Hunter Lawrence...

Good to see Finland making 17th.

 

I am too Wink After Sihvonen’s great first moto I was pretty confident, but Weckman bend his front brake disc in second lap and it was downward spiral after that. Haavisto took great start, but was riding tight and crashed three times…thankfully 30points was enough this year. We are determined to do better tomorrow. If guys make top 10, I promised that they can shave my hair off.IMG 7334 2.jpeg?VersionId=UANFgbDIUY9lLIMG 7251

How does the C final work - does the winner advance to the B final? And winner of B final makes the motos?

19th would not set world on fire but it was giving points to others that could have mattered.

Podle všeho Vaškův mechanik měl v pitlane Vaškovu druhou motorku jako zálohu, což je proti pravidlům. Druhou moto může jezdec použít po zaváděcím kole na gridu před startem, ale tohle byla fakt zvrhlá partyzánština.

My appologies to others for a brief lesson of czech language.

Thanks. So Terešák save our day.

C final winners make the B main for another chance to make the main races.

No need to throw a dart at Jett...  If you watched that moto, you know.  It was a 20 minute race, a 30 and he wins it with a 5 second lead.  Tomorrow we get to see Jett and Gajser and Febvre and Prado and Roczen go at it...  Add in Renaux in the last one too. 

I wish I could type Tomac and Sexton in there...  But it wasn't meant to be.

Still a great time to be a moto fan.

if you watch MXGP , you should know in a qualifier most settle in top 5 or 6 and finish the race and dont bother much about a spot or 2 ..its just a start grid position ...1 or 3 wont make much of a different on raceday with 30 minutes time .. reason why only Vlaanderen made up a lot of positions , he had a terrible start

Just curious why every year JT has been a part of the announcing team for Mxdn. I don't mean that in a negative way at all, I think he does a good job just wondering why he is chosen

Man if RJ can just ride smart and keep it on 2 wheels we really do have a good shot at a podium. Some solid top 5 finishes and we will be alright.
