#3: MXGP of Sardegna - April 6-7

Looks like Jason Thomas will be in the booth.

MX2 Timed Practice:

Haarup on the Triumph looks like being best of the rest

Prado and Herlings a second quicker than the rest. 

We are in for a fight between those two. Calvin may just get into the mix. Can't wait for the gate drop.

MX1 timed practice.

Damn I have to start watching WMX. That was great.

What a shit show with the lappers in wmx race... 

Is it always that bad in WMX?
The speed difference between top 3 and even 10th is huge. They lapped 10th

Herlings problem is he was, and still is fast enough in the sand but he doesn't know how to get 2nd.

I don't really follow our amateur scene so Jack Chambers , is he just someone who wasn't good enough or not interested in SX ?  I don't know anything about him . 

Double nationalité, comme moi

It's a ways off yet but I wonder how good Kay will be on a 450?

De wolf looked good. Hope Lucas will get better start tomorrow. 

MX2 Qualifying Race:

Looks like this is already down to a 2-horse race.
Herlings is 3-4 sec off the pace even in sand. Febvre is going to lose 10 more points and start from the outside tomorrow. They are both looking to be 30-40 points down after this weekend.

Herlings will be pleased to see Prado leave in 2025.

After this race Febvre is down 32 points and Herlings 40 points.  After less than 3 rounds.
The guys that everybody said Prado was lucky they were hurt last year.

Won’t write of herlings yet for this weekend. Just remember this GP last year, Herlings had only one GP in his body that time after a 14 month break from racing. No need to stress in a quali if you’re 3rd, save those points and go for it tomorrow 

16.5 rounds to go 

Sure. And I'm hoping at least one of them goes on a streak to keep it interesting.
But at 49 points Herlings needs to win 13 motos (if Prado finishes 2nd every time) to even just make up that gap. He can't sit back anymore when he doesn't feel it and has to start winning soon.

Prado looks in control at the moment. Lets see of someone can match his speed tomorrow when it counts.

Counted today. Points were on the line.

He holeshot the last 125 all star race. Our local boy Wyatt passed him and Sipes like there chains broke. Great corner speed I never saw a rider sling shot so fast . Wyatt went wide after that stupid single into a corner and Sipes got him. He quit riding burnt out from living at club Mx.  Jack was on a Ktm all the money went into Max. Good for Jack he’s in a better series than here. And better tracks by far. Look how crappy our 1st 3 rounds are. 

WMX race was best of the day. Tomorrow's shaping up to be exciting.

Any results posted?

never mind…..

Yes, it is a bit, but this is the world we live in. There are maybe 10 Elite level Women, and the rest are younger girls who make the age cut , and come and have a go at the top level. Those girls will go back home to wherever that is and work, and also inspire the other girls to be better, or to just race at all. 

There have been some awesome races, and the fact they get to race at this level is a big plus IMO. 

Looks like another Prado 1-1 tomorrow. 

Yup. 

I know Herlings won a lot of races in 2018 but he did it from bad starts. Prado getting a holeshot & running away is already getting boring.
