I feel compelled to give a shout out to Ben Watson. Probably went under the radar to most, but that Beta is not in the same league as the other factory bikes on the gate, it can’t get either him or his teammate Tom Koch out the gate at all, but he’s still charging his way forward every race. 

He made up 30 spots today, dead last to 14th in race one and 25th to 12th in race two. His late race pace was as good as almost anyone, I hope the teams of some of the riders he’s catching and passing late in races are noticing how well he’s riding on lesser machinery 

Gajser is on a roll, 2 dominate GP’s in a row whilst his competition are fighting over the podium positions. I don’t think he’ll win the next GP as it’s a deep sand track but he’ll definitely be on the podium. 

MX2 is wide open at the moment, Everts lacked the killer instinct today but still keeps the red plate. Kay will dominate the next round & that’ll put him back into contention for the title chase. 

Actually he lined up at a national race at Gemert today. However during start of the first race he hit the gate, and a rider from the 2nd starting line hit him in the back. He decided to call it a day after that and didn't actually race. Let's hope that was only a decision to avoid any further risk for injuries.

Pancar (5th in time practice mxgp), Gwerder (11th in mx2 qualifying race) and Petit (leading Emx250). 

Privateer showing you can get results 

Yep, and Guillod ninth overall. But like you said, it is possible to get results without a huge race truck/team etc etc.

After watching this Grand Prix, I defintly think Janis Reisulis should have raced MX2 this year. He probably lack the fitness and experience, but he is already fast enough to be top 10 or even top 5.

Any details about Farres injury?

🤔

I was thinking the same, no news good news maybe? 

I didn't expect Seewer to struggle this bad on the Ducati. Will he turn it around?

From what we heard this weekend no major injuries. Maybe a concussion (not confirmed) because the helmet looked pretty damaged. 

I thought the same thing watching his GoPro video he’s gotta be hurt or something
