#17: MXGP of Switzerland - August 24-25

Geerts first race back last week goes 10-13. he should be able to break the top 10 both moto's this week

Forecast for Sunday…. Rain!! Looks like a fair amount off bit coming down all day.. 

This could really shake things up in the Championship! Who can take advantage off a possible mudder! 

Guess 84 is doing a rain dance the rest off the week… 

Ah well, we haven't had a mud race for a while. That track will be tough if it's deep mud as it's pretty tight so we may see some point swings for sure...

Renaux is back! Hopefully he can get some good riding in before MXDN 

A mud race is the last thing Prado needs right now lmao. 

Ruben Fernandez will also be back this weekend! First GP back since his knee injury. Gajser seems to have some back up for the last couple off races. 

Don’t expect to much yet on dry conditions from Ruben and Renaux, but if it’s get muddy it could be guys that end up in between the title contenders..

Such a shame McLellan got hurt, he was quick before, and has been fast again since he got back.

I hope they changed the location, as last years track was just plain horrible and apparently the paddock was very far from the actual track.

The dream would be to have it a Roggenburg wouldn't it.

Track is on the same location as last year. They left the jumps on the track from last year so expect a kind off similar track…

Payerne would be perfect (as a track).

Benistant will be there too (MX2).

Not that free practice means much but Prado in 26th and nearly 4 seconds off the pace.

Yup, i spoke to his dad. Nothing serious wrong with his knee. Bad bruising on the foot and leg. He will be back for the next round. 

De Wolf was pushing haaard. Hope his crash doesnt afects his riding tomorrow. 

De Wolfs needs to chill down with 4 to go. He takes so much unnecessary risk the last couple off rounds, it’s waiting for a injury to come…

Valin from down in the frist turn (40th place) to 4th, conserving the red plate. He is doing a very very good first year on the 250 and even if he doesn't win the title, he is really promising!

Herlings start once again horrible!

How did they not red flag that MX2 qualifying race? The gate seemed to drop very unevenly.

Seewer looked good in quali race. Suprized how well Renaux was riding at his first gp back from injury. Tomorrow should be good 

Even Malin said on live there should be red flag out. 

It looked like someone went early and hit the gate and a load of other riders followed so I'm not sure it was a red flag.
