Brent Van Doninck is out after getting COVID in Turkey. Todd Waters and Kirk Gibbs will line up in MXGP.
I wonder if the Kove factory team will show up . 🙂
De Wolf needs to outscore Coenen by 16 points to clinch.
Herlings can't lose more than 7 points to Gajser or he's eliminated from the title fight
Hoping Prado can close it down to single digits going into the last round
Just in case anyone missed it in DeStower's first post, the GP takes place on Sunday and Monday mornings for those in Europe.

Heavy rain, gales and 30c temperatures forecast for Monday.
Why is the race on Monday? Lol
Good to see a couple of Aussies make the trip north. Pity Webster didn’t take the opportunity to shakedown the 250 in preparation for MXdN.
Could decide the title. Prado can't decide any 3rd or 4ths anymore at this point
Looks like it will be a wild one there, there will be a typhoon coming up on Sunday evening/Monday.
The change the schedule to all on Sunday because the need to finish before 16:00…
Time practice in the morning followed up by 2 moto’s! No points for qualifying, wich could hurt Prado..
Wonder what the weather will do, guess the guys in red are screaming to cancel the race..
Faster than me... Great info by the way mate
Looks like 5:00 in the morning European time first moto 250. Early morning for the people they wanna watch it live..
Even if the storm doesn't hit on Sunday Prado will have one less qually race to make up points now.
What a farce. They could've easily kept the usual weekend schedule on Saturday and Sunday. Hindsight, ofcourse.
Prado and Coenen probably won't be very happy.
Agree... Thats not fair play for those Two.
New schedule due to the typhoon...
The weather and the track are really worth the trip.

Practice going on as of 8:00 PM EST, Looks like the racing starts with MX2 at 10:00 PM EST. I will be up late tonight, thank goodness I have a four pack of Alvarium Brewing Octoberfest to get me through.
Pit Row
A 4 pack??? That’s only enough to get through the first moto. 😂
So it's running even earlier than the rescheduled times. What a frickin shit show. You have to wonder how you can reconcile spending a fortune flying half way round the world to hold an event in Shanghai's typhoon season with reality.
You guys realise you can live in a typhoon/ cyclone/ hurricane zone and go for years without being effected by one right?
Gajser is fortunate it's not a full gate after that crash. Aaaaan crashes intpo Bonicorsi. Well so much for "luck". But has lots of time.
Gajser not moving forward anymore though, stuck in 12th for a couple laps now. This is gonna hurt..
Edit: back to 13th now..
Prado really needs to take advantage of this and get the win.
Oh man. Gajser 🤦♂️
Gajser in the pit lane?? Holy fuck
Actually insane to me there are riders with 4-6 laps down on the track, completely irresponsible.
I'm sure you're right, just not in Shanghai.
Prado: 918
Gajser: 914
ouch..
This just got so much more interesting.
