#7: MXGP of France - May 18-19

I hope the same.

Great races from Coenen and Febvre!

Concussion for both of them. They won't race tomorrow.

What's it going on with Prado and the mud? I thought he was a good mud racer. Someone can chime in?

Why do you think that? He’s not ever been known as a good mud rider. Febvre is a real solid mud rider, if he can keep it on 2 wheels!

He got 4th - against a Lot of  Very, Very good riders.

So, that makes him a Squid?

And No, I'm Not a Prado 'Fanboi'. I just Know they are All Fantastic riders out there.

I've seen many of these riders out on the tracks for years now, a fair few in person ( just as I have with the USA ) and know there are No Wood Ducks out there.

Where did Trey Cox finish in EMX125 race 1? 

I can't find the results

What's the weather doing this morning? Another wet race?

25th in heat 1 and 28th in heat 2.

If you go to https://results.mxgp.com/mxgp/standings.aspx you can select European championship in one of the drop downs, select then EMX125 and you can find all relevant results and statistics.

Thank you bud, much appreciated.

Weird that the track is dryer today but the 125 lap times are 10 seconds slower than yesterday.

What is going on with Sacha? He’s like Geerts couple of years ago. At least One crash in every race every GP

Simon is not making friends on the track today. 

That was a stupid move from Laengenfelder. He needs to have Haarup finish between him and De Wolf so he can close the points gap more

Get in there. Really proud on Mikula scoring decent points on merit. Starting outside TOP15 and getting top10 in fastest laps in this moto to pick up 12th.  Jens Walvoort is the best privateer right now no doubt but still beating Martinez, Oriol, Koikker, Smulders regularly at still 17 years of age is something.

Crossing fingers that he can stay healthy thru the season and maybe his teammate Marcel Stauffer can join him in the battles for top10 in the second half of the mx2 season. 

Really surprised with how well Jens Walvoort is riding since moving up to MX2

Looks like Herlings is just too scared to take any risks… the speed is there but he won’t risk a crash and that’s not working for him. All in or nothing is the game he need to play.

He looks super stiff and no flow at all. 

Hi Kaido

love your stats/results pages but can you compress them more or use slightly different format? I get forearm pump scrolling down to find what I’m looking for, haha 

The boy needs to put some muscles on his bones. He looks like a twelve year old boy on that 250. There has always been said that he is more talented than Lucas, his twin. He lasts for at most half the race and then he's scattered all over the track, mostly on the ground. Wait a year or two, and then you'll see his true potential

Jonass doesn't stop surprising me this year. First MXGP victory, etc. Dude is having his best MXGP season so far. Way to go, neighbor!.

He looks at least 13 I'd say.

Mx2 class is amazing. Haarup went hard into Laengenfelder first few laps (understandable) but that hurt his chances for a podium

Was it RJ Hampshire that used the grass for a couple of Holeshots a few years ago at the Florida GP?

Kay de Wulf did much the same the first MX2 race, 'Large'(Lucas ) Coenen lined up beside him on the outside in the 2nd.

It didn't quite work this time, as it looked like Kay popped on and off the grass and got a bit squirrelly, but still was, I think, second through the first turn. Got that wrong : Lucas used his qualifying position and took Kays place (as he was entitled to do) on the outside, and He got through to 2nd into the turn.

'Large' currently leading, and 'Little' just got pipped for 2nd by Kay.

Great racing!

Herlings did the same in 2018. Team Fried had an amazing shot in slow motion on youtube

de Wolf works with his former mechanic, so I’m almost sure he told him that  Smart move by Coenen to try it though!
