I watched the first two races but fell asleep before the open race.  Saw the results with Ferris in 33rd but I read somewhere he was running in 3/4 place before he crashed?  That’s encouraging if so.

That’s just good business, if danger boy came over here and got spanked by a euro kid the same age his social media reliant empire would collapse and he’d be cancelled.

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.

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

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

Not a chance Prado stays ahead of Jett.  And the qualifying position was up in the air in moto 1...  Prado would have tried.  Not to mention that now that points are paid in GP qualifiers, guys ride them with much more intensity than they used to.

I’m a Jett believer…but, Prado ain’t a joke. I’ve made the mistake in the past of under-rating the Euros. After several ass whooping on their turf…? I’ve learned my lesson. 

Things I’ve noticed…

Our riders were 4th fastest, as a team, when all 3 riders scores are considered. 
Quite a few US MX/SX series riders are at the MXoN representing many of the fastest countries…4 of the Top 6 teams.  
Riders like Vialle, The Lawrences & Roczen…go back to Europe and get right back to CRUSHING IT…which is a reminder to NOT let yourself be fooled into under-estimating the Europeans and the MXGP regulars.

I sat with the ESP fans at MXoN in 2018...  Had a blast rooting for him with those nuts!!!

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.

”Curious if Febvre will have a little more pace on Sunday?  Thought he would be pushing toward the front.  Wonder if he was holding back knowing he did not need to push the envelope on Saturday?”

I wondered about that too as he was about to reel in both Roczen and Seewer mid-moto. Suddenly Jett was on him and just blew by and I think he was surprised when that happened, he didn’t even know Jett was there. To me it looked like he slowed down a bit after that because the gap was quite big after three more laps.

Ferrys crash looked scary. He’s lucky it didn’t ended worse.
 

Is there any videos of the crash that involved Coldenhoff and Gifting? The clip on MXTV only show the last few seconds when they’re hit the ground and that looked like a big one, both injured and out for todays races. I wonder what lead up to it, almost looked like they collided mid-air.

To me it looked like Seewer, Kenny and Febvre all had the same pace and it was just really tough to pass and a qualifying race isn't the place to take the risk. Jett was the only one who could slice n dice through the field..

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.
