Interesting fact, Bariloche is an area where a lot Nazis escaped to after the fall of the third reich. From what I’ve read, a lot of people speak German there & the buildings all have a German look about them.

I'm interested to see how Tom Vialle does. Tough to say, he's a bit of an unknown quantity coming into this with a new bike and in a new class.

I’m excited to see whether Simon can defend his title or if the others have stepped up especially Sacha. He’s definitely fast enough, but in the past he was on the ground far too often. If he’s improved his consistency I’m sure we’re in for a great championship battle.

Besides Sacha and Simon, do you think anyone else in the 250 class has a real shot at the title? Everts? McLellan?

If Valin wants to challenge for a title he needs to do better in sand then he did at Lierop last weekend. Had a decent start in moto 2 in 7th and couldnt get past Heitink, Doensen and Fredsoe and finished in 5th. in Moto 1 he was in 3rd behind Smulders for 5+ laps and couldnt pass him and then crashed.

Obviously just 1 race but not a good look compared to Everts

They found two there in 1994, It was actually ABC news in the US that basically stumbled upon them…Sam Donald literally walked up to Erich Priebke on the street and asked him on camera if he was the SS officer responsible for the Ardeatine Caves Massacre in Italy. They were actually searching for another natzi and pretty much stumbled upon him while they were there. It’s also the area that many tinfoil hatters believe that Hitler ended up living his life out at….

The dirt isn't what we're used to in Argentina. Looks like a lot of rocks in there.

Riders like Gifting and Zanchi are missing on the entry list. If they have an injury I've must of missed the press release. De Wolf is still on it, but it's highly uncertain if he will line up.

Attempted to follow mxgp closer last year but the streaming service was so bad at the beginning of the year that I was too far out of the loop by the time they got it fixed to bother. Hopefully it works out this year, always enjoy the races when I am able to watch.
