What’s the track like? Top riders in both classes crashing out, hope they’re okay.

Real choppy. A lot of square edges. 

Medaglia was in the first turn. Hit his head. 

Drew Adams was in a hill/jump section. Hit his head. 

A lot of yellow and red cross flags.

Geez rough day. Sounds like hard pack that’s been ripped and watered, and then hardened up again? I’ll try to catch some of it on YouTube.

Track is a mixture of hard pack and sand. Not tilled deep. Not super rutty. 

Really choppy.

Wright has movement in all his limbs, so that's positive.

Riders were lining up in staggered rows but now they're rolling away from the start area.  

Looks like they might possibly call it a race.

A lot of riders said the track was sketchy or gnarly.

That crash was so gnarly, hope he’s has a quick recovery. This just opened up the championship for the first time in years. That was a bad head hit

I don't want to speculate, but unfortunately I think he'll be out for a while. 

I think it's Jess' to lose now.

I do agree, depending on how Dylan’s recovery goes and he comes back quick enough do some rounds in the states

It was a tough day for the GDR Honda Racing Team between Medaglia and Wright. 

Hopefully, both guys will be alright and recover soon.

I bet Medaglia shows up on a 450 at some point soon.. I don’t know why he dropped down to the 250, but I kind of doubt we see him back on it.

I was thinking about that. Depending on Dylan's injuries, they might want to move T-Dags up since they'll need a 450 guy. He dropped down for the challenge and to change things up. Wood is doing pretty well, and if they need a second 250 rider, why not give a shot to Evan Stice?

He's already planning on racing the entire series, already on a Honda, and he's now 4th in points.

That sounds like the best option at this point but we will have to see the injuries on Wright because that was nasty
