#11: MXGP of Latvia

Bummer for both of them.

I've missed how Ruben Fernandez has scrubbed up after the German GP - he hit bloody Hard in that prang.

And, 'Little' Coenen - cripes that little blighter must have more than  9 lives!

I good thing that ruben fernandez with that idiotic action of his...that he didn't injured anyone else

Such a bummer for Jonass. 

The real pressure is on Geerts. He really needs this race. (And, yes, I'm a fan).

Expected Weather for this weekend.

Saturday 

Sunday

Anyone know if Horgmo is back this weekend after the shoulder injury in France?

No, he's not.

I missed Little Coenens fast laps, but he sure did look animated back in the Pits!

Though, I Did see Valins - now that was bloody fast looking, brought him up into 4th, something like 1 / 1.2 /1.5 seconds behinds Sacha. 

Keggums is one of those tracks that riders really do Hang It Out while the surface is somewhat 'mild', compared to what it can be , later. 

Yes I may be old  but i remenber the time when it was normal to have 40 men at the start of a gp today again at the mx2 22 riders of which 5 still have the level of an amateur but that will probably be the new normal

SL looking smooth out there

Vlaanderen's starts are hit and miss...it's is a bummer seeing him buried in the pack again.

Yes

sacha gotta have the record for the most crashes in a season & we’re only half way thru 

Yes hope he can figure it out like his brother because he certainly has the speed. A lot of his crashes are due to some kind of front end tuck. It seems like he doesn’t lean back far enough when braking which loads the front end and leads to some sort of tank slaping  which simply rips the bar out of his hands.

I dont get why Infront doesnt setup a privateer program.  

Give 5 decent riders from nearby a free entry, free Tyres and some cash at each GP that has issues with entries. Spend some time during the broadcast for the 3 best privateers and have a title sponsor for that segment to pay for the costs (i mean the have a sponsor for the start practice on Friday). 

They should red flag this EMX250 race. The finish line jump is taking too many scalps.

Its ridiculous they arent flagging the rest of the race on that crazy jump after the second big moment. This are kids. Crashing insanely one after another... 

Funny how they've edited out all the crashes on that jump from the highlights.

good race from sacha and simon

good to see #84 look up for it , such a shame he was injured beginning of the season
