#7: MXGP of France - May 18-19

Yeah me as well.  His emx250 career is nowhere near Braceras, Osterhagen and Karssemakers but he is beating them at the moment 

Imo the mx2 class really improved this year. Bigger fields and very strong also in the midpack.

As much as this season has been about Prado maybe the real story is Tim’s crashes. Without them he has a pretty healthy lead right now. Tim is his own worst enemy right now. More speed than Prado IMO without the starts and his crashes are keeping the points close. 
 

And Lucas may win this title yet, Kay has to watch out for him. He is the danger man. 

agree - i guess this is where Mattheses' "gumby Gajser" moniker comes in. Crashes far too often in innocuous ways but most often seems to bounce well and get away with it 

I wouldn't say his crashes are holding him down that much as his starts are. He must be much more aggressive due to bad starts, unlike Prado who is usually first after the start unless it is muddy, and that aggressiveness sometimes causes crashes (Spain?). The good thing is that he is much more in control and those crashes are just much smaller then before...

The weather in Teutschenthal could make the track very rutted.

Idk, I'd say they are pretty even.
Prado has had his fair share of mistakes as well (mainly in the mud races). Also 0 points in a qualy race because of his seat falling off. Out of 10 dry motos he has won 8 so far.

Agreed, Lucas is coming. Brought the gap down from 75 to 59 in the last 2 GPs. 13 GPs to go

Fucking hidden flag.
Extreme racing conditions. On a track almost as beautiful as those at the National in the U.S.

Happy for Julius Mikula, Portugal P11, France P12,13. 

Great performance as privateer!!! Guy need whole MX2 season.

What is the team of mikula like? It must be pretty well funded if they can have him and Stauffer

I'm always looking forward French GP as I love track's layout and dirt type. This round delivered awesome racing in both classes and a lot of drama. We can clearly see that all top dogs REALLY wants to win now.

I'm super impressed with Kevin Horgmo after this race. I watched his vlog and it's nice to see how happy whole team was after this race.

And if you look for RAW videos from track, how fast those riders were riding in so sloppy conditions! Just WOW!

I wanted to save money but more and more I want to go to GP this year.
