#20: MXGP of Australia

The only people this round COULD be good for is all the young riders. With the MX2 age rule the only guys who'd be somewhat competitive are around or older than 23, making them no use to the 250 class. Webster is almost 30  with a baby on the way, he's not going to Europe to ride for nothing when he could stay in Aus and with bonuses could make approx $200k. It's unfortunate but nowadays you need to go young for MXGPs. Beaton and Webster would be the only two to figure in the MXGP class, and both aren't going anywhere.

Track is pretty good for a one-off. Good theres a little bit of natural elevation there. Crowd looked decent for the qualifying day

If they host again, I'd probably make the trip next year

Track looks nice, especially compared to some of the flat, feature-less tracks I've seen on the Australian national circuit.

I think the track looks awesome!

not sure about your comment but your avatar is awesome LOL

And there was me thinking it would be at an established Aussie track with some of the best Aussie championship riders lining up like the old days... 🙄

Maybe he should have rode like that all/most/or even some of the season. I bet he would’ve got selected if he did. 

HONESTLY the coolest 'man made' track of the calendar so far for me.
It looks like the aussie championship tracks, but bigger. Good camera angles on those long corners too

I didn’t say he should’ve rode like he wanted all year. I said he should’ve rode like “that” all season. He’s capable of being a top 7 guy every race. There’s absolutely no reason why (other than injuries and missing races) he should be sitting in 17th in points. Do you think he deserves a spot with these results? 

Pretty sure Darwin is hosting a 5 year deal to run the GP

The World Championship is still undecided and coming down to this last race weekend, out of respect I would think any professional rider wouldn’t want to get involved in the outcome of the MXGP World Championship title.

Well done Lotte, second world title at just 18yo. Those girls are fast.

De wolf trying to make contact , langenfelder goes down

Big congrats to febvre  2 time champ..

My money on lucas c for the 26 title.

Shitty timing man 😐

Hier auch…

No livetiming either

Geht ja um nix... 

Simon down to 11th. OMG

Oh my this will be chaos. Best possible scenario for KdW.

De Wolf in 2nd for now, Simon in 6th. 3 point gap to Simon's advantage. One tip over and everything changes.
