MXoN - Saturday: Practice + Qualifying

Has Australia ever won MXdN?

No, but their chances haven’t been this good since Reedy’s peak. Could finally happen

All up to their MX2 rider...

Here are some random pics from today:

Nope. Last year's 2nd was their best result. 

If USA doesn't win ... I'm pulling for the Aussie's to win. It's always neat to see first time winners. 

Who had the fastest lap Prado or Lawrence? 

Fantastic Day, great racing, what a track

Pointless comparison with two different tracks imo 

Didn’t Eli rip from like 19th to 7th in a 20min moto? Why is the sky falling? 

what time is the first race , uk time 

Eli & AP did well.  Webb was off the pace and may be our deciding factor in results. Webb had a good start and then faded to 7th. Not sure how he will do against all the 450 & 250 talent combined. I was honestly expecting Webb to be top 3 in results and lap times in MX2.

Track looks really good. Imo this was a good Saturday , everybody is healthy, weather forecast is okay , looking forward to a great day of racing tomorrow. I reckon the US team can be expected do a lot better, I think the experience of all  3 riders will be worth more tomorrow. Webb usually does well when the pressure is on . Should be good. 

Tomac dropped anchor then!

She's definitely rutty,  not a fan of guys like de wolfe going down because of it, but they all race the same track.

Tomac got crossrutted on a face of the jump and backed it down right after. It was a close call.

I hope they give Webb the second gate pick each moto.  He started 2nd today and faded back.  Good chance he ends up close to the same finish wherever he starts.  Let Tomac and AP give you a solid chance at a couple low scores! 

top 10 counting 3 scores 

France 7

Spain 12

Australia 18

Germany 20

USA 20

Britain 23

Italy 23

Belgium 30

Netherlands 34

Slovenia 38

How the fuck was Kenny in 6th behind Forato after 1 lap? He was outside the top 20th in the first corner. lol

So proud of this team today, great recovery and gate pick for tomorrow!

Hope there won't be much rain aswell tomorrow. 

This is exactly what I figured. The team we brought aren’t rookies. They know when to push and when not too. Smart play. Qualifying won’t get you any bonus points and gate picks aren’t make or break tomorrow. The things you don’t see on TV 

Who cares at the end of the day how they do, of course you want them to do good but THEY wanted to go and support you guys. So support them and give them credit.

Wonder what they’ll do with track prep? 
 
Anyone there to comment?

I think France and the Netherlands will be first and second, but I think if Spain or Australia has a great day and luck falls their way they could also win. 

I think you'd probably want to give Oliver the inside for the first race since Prado can get a start from anywhere, and then for Australia give Hunter the inside both of his motos to give him the best chance at a top 3, and Jett outside both motos. 

They just need to really bank on Webster getting a good result in race 2 and then Jett and Hunter have to be flawless in their races. It's really hard to be able to have everything go to plan, but I think if they manage to pull that off then they have a high chance of winning.

If they leave it alone... Its going to swallow and spit out those blucru 125 riders in the morning race. 

Laengenfelder, fastest lap of the Moto for his result

It’s funny how you guys think of Deegan 24/7 😂😂. Someone cuts you off while driving you probably automatically think of Deegan. 

Yeah I like when they showed the race highlights malin said something along the line "watch kenny on the start here, surely hes raling the outside berm... uhmm nope, still buried"  

thts wht im saying! me personally I dont give a damn wht country wins forreal  , im just enjoying this shit for wht it is & thts the best talent from both major series duking it out in a strategic race 

Yeah, without the drop is a valuable reference on where the teams stand.  Need all 3 guys on Sunday.

No , they have podiumed twice tho 

 Webb is exactly where I thought he would be

Hasn’t lit the world on fire on a 450 in awhile, putting him on a 250 makes him a 7-10 guy

If he finishes either Moto tomorrow in the top 10 that’ll be a victory
