Did anyone notice the bikes throwing a chain in the same section in both classes?

Deep ass rut with large rocks in the sides will do that.

GP was in Switzerland and the track is usually decent when dry, bad time of the year to hold it there.

When was the last time one rider threw a chain? Let alone 4!  That’s was weird. What could have caused this?  Rocks? Weird angle of the turn?

Herlings' crash was really odd. Didn't even look like he hit anything, just got pulled off the back of the bike. Stoked on Tom's win, though. Hopefully he keeps it up and takes a couple more this season.

There's an IG story showing the exact place all those guys were throwing their chain. Nasty, buried rock.

That track is fantastic. Proper old school. Wouldn't want it evert week but there's definitely a place for one on the calendar.

I thought it was just me!  I thought that track was great. Not stupid fast (like usual) and plenty of lines opened up with passing opportunities as a result.

Welcome to the 70”s, where throwing a chain was standard……like a used bike missing the lower chain roller👍
