And a guy on a TM finished 9th in MX2... not bad. Shows the bike is reliable for sure.

It was Czech Julius Mikula, yes he was 15 sec off Liam a lap, but still best result for nerly two decades.

I think Samuele Bernardini was the last legit MX2 rider for TM, he was good in 2016 with multiple top 5-8 finishes. Mikula is pretty good though, looking forward for more top 10's for him.

This is my first year subscribing to watch the races and I gotta say...I'm not impressed. 

With a not full gate and no spectators at this round it feels like I'm watching the pros at a local race. 

And the buffering trying to watch the replays is unacceptable. 

Hopefully When Herlings comes back and we can can get a dry race things will improve.

It was a race win as well as the GP win as the 2nd race got rained off in Indonesia I believe

It was Indonesia, he took the Moto 2 win for a 2nd overall on the day, Jeremy Seewer finished on the top step

I mean "best result for nearly two decades" for Czech rider not TM. I know they (TM) have better results.

Anyone know if there was talk of Adamo getting docked for cutting the track at the end of moto 1?  On the last lap he was behind Sasha Coenen, then Adamo went off track behind the row of banners on one of the the right hand 180 degree turns.  He never reappeared on the track, and never passed Sasha on the track (Sasha was on camera the entire time) but Adamo still ended up finishing 2 spots ahead of Sasha.  A minute or so later near the end of the lap it shows Adamo riding, now ahead of Sasha. 

My son and I were both wondering where Adamo went and where he re-entered to gain that kind of advantage, but it sure seemed like he cut off a section of the track...  We rewatched it 2x and I don't see any explanation for how he could have gotten around Sasha without cutting off that left hand 180 degree corner.  Weird they did not dock him, seemed pretty obvious that something was fishy

Go to 49 minutes on the replay.

You see Sacha have a moment in a corner, veer of the track, miss a  jump combo( Mikula did to) that Adamo goes over,  and still come out in front of Adamo. So he had an off track excursion that kept him in front. 

Then, after the next corner, Adamo goes off track, on the other side of the Impenetrable Luongo Banners, coming around further behind Sacha than he was prior to that.  They show Adamo going along the side of the track after that corner, not showing when he came back on.

Then they show Sacha having another moment / stop / near prang after the next straight, in a corner.. And then they show Zanchi lapping Sacha ( with Malin saying something like "Sacha thanks him for him not having to do another lap, or, thereabouts)  . Then you see Adamo by himself. Not clear if it's before he gets past Sascha, or after. 

In the time you don't see Sacha / Adamo together, I'd not be surprised if Sascha had yet another 'moment'. He was having a Lot of those, as was, well, everyone. But Sacha - well near the end of the Moto, more than most. The two had a good battle going, with Multiple passes of each other. And, their respective 'moments', let Mikula by. Heck, Mikula went off the track again after landing from a jump just behind them, but he was inside the banners, before the straight / corner that Adamo went off track, behind the long set of Banners. 

I very much doubt there were any shenanigan's going on, with relation to penalties / illegal passing. I saw an infraction from both, and we don't see the pass that got Adamo in front of Sascha.
