Just finished the MXGP Vital podcast.

Im with this one really with Lewis, I cant see a way Gajser is losing this one if he used his head. 

He should have pushed more last year as his own words, but that should not be the case this upcoming season. 

Herlings is out of this one and will be most likely again has a slow start off the first races back so he doesnt have to worry about him. 

For the future it could be a last season in 26, but reading between the lines it also could make that statement out to looking for a new ride in 26 and beyond. Yamaha and Triumpf with both Monster backing should be the first ones in line to throw a good paycheck to the 84 i guess…. 

Febvre should been the main force to Gajser as he have proved in the past, but has also have a hard time staying injury free! People talk allot about  Herlings and getting injured, but the last season Febvre has stayed healthy and made all round we need to go back to the 2021 season!!! 

The same goes with Renaux, to stay healthy for the season is a big ask. Also his win record in MXGP is not that big, so for him to win the title will be a big ask… 


Lets hope everybody stays healthy and have some great racing coming up!

In 2023, Febvre only missed one round in Spain after Van Doninck ejected him on the start of the qualifying race. Febvre couldn't do anything against Van Doninck's mistake that day.

Been away for a while.

Why no Herlings at the MXGP opener?

Practice injury? Will he race at all this year?

I think he injured his ACL at a Dutch race late in 2024, after MXON.  Expected to be out 3 or 4 rounds I believe, so he is likely out of it for the championship which means there are probably only a small handful of legit contenders in the 450 class (Febvre, Gasjer, Renaux, maybe Lucas Coenen??) 

But, Lucas Coenen is coming into this round with some wrist injuries, so will be interesting to see if he can salvage some points before a weekend off to rest up.  He might have the speed when healthy, its just hard to envision enough consistency to make a serious title push, but I would like to see him do well in what could be his final season in Europe....

Now we know what we'd get if Miller Motorsports Park and Pala got drunk and spent the night together.

Saw some video from the track today.

It's not Patagonia, but it's not complete shit either.  Kind of reminds me of cross between Hangtown and Fox Raceway,  except with harder dirt.

Get used to these American style tracks in MXGP boys.

Odd to travel all that way for a junk racetrack.

Does MXGPTV not want to make money or am I really stupid? Maybe both. But I keep trying to buy the season pass and it tells me my card hasn’t been processed try again. I’ve tried multiple times with multiple cards and browsers. Am I the only one it’s doing this to? This isn’t the first time this has happened either.

Brent :

" Kind of reminds me of cross between Hangtown and Fox Raceway,"

Exactly my thoughts - glad it was you that put it forward before me.

Few tracks look 'scenic', especially in arid zones, and, especially when freshly built. 

It's Not Flat as a Tack ( though plenty here will assert that) , and hell, many of those Jump faces, are  (scary) 'booters' - the SX influence, unfortunately, ever invades The Outdoors. 

First time we see Practice with the broadcast, it should be interesting. I wonder if Malin has a back up - he'll be working (even more) bloody hard with that addition to his commentary duties.

Honestly I didn't really like the old track, the scenery was really nice but I don't feel like it raced well, wasn't very technical, was just made to go big and fast on rather than being made for good racing in my opinion

Benjamin Pascual who is riding in MX2 this weekend actually competed in the Dakar Rally in January. Riding in the Mission 1000 class for non-ICE powered bikes he finished third in class, winning the prologue and final stage.

Neuquen GP always produced good racing.

A lot of various lines on the track.

I dunno but he had his arms and hands covered up in the press conference which was a bit weird.

Top 250 guys were sending the triple within 8 laps. On the 450 class, first practice, first lap Fevbre greased it and the crowd went absolutely crazy.

I think I had that when I tried to order for the nations. I think it was because my card saw it as a foreign transaction.
