Teutschenthal has been terrible for passing ever since they've changed the layout and start for the 2013 MXoN. Used to be real hardpack and blue groove in the 90s aswell, instead of this rutfest.

Vialle seems under the weather after his crash last week.

Yep, anyone knows what's wrong with Vialle ?

Teuschenthal was a great track but the last few years MXGP have ripped it eight ft deep and it’s been a rut-ruined shithole like far too many other tracks. Last year my knees and ankles were hurting just watching it. 

I dnt understand why the sport is going so far away from its roots with big hills and proper natural challenges. But then I am a cantankerous old git now at 47 so maybe it’s just an old fart thing.

I fully agree with you with regards to the 'Ripping and Rutting' of tracks nowadays.

It's just F**ked.

I so very often say - I'd love to see races  - especially US Outdoors, as their tracks are so Ripped and Rutted - on surfaces like Carlsbad, and So Many US Outdoors in the (admittedly, distant) the past - and GP tracks, where it was genuine, Hardpack. Just go looking for various Videos of Races from the 70s / 80s / 90s.Especially the 500s - the throttle control of riders in the past, was phenomenal at times.

The Highest Level Riders dealing with what IS the natural  terrain / geology of the local area. 

But no, the Squealing / Squawking from many Riders and Viewers, would be deafening. Face it, unless you are Very Lucky, most of us are riding / racing on far less than 'fluffy' track surfaces - it would be far more 'relatable' for many of us, to see these Fantastic riders, deal with what WE deal with, much of the time.

Literally up the road from me. I won’t be going as I’d rather watch all the mx & Moto GP this weekend. I’ve been when they had a GP up there in the late 90’s. Those guys are nuts!

Only if Skovbjerg's team appealled García's outside assistance at Trentino... Would've been at least 9 points less deficit, and his result in this race.

The slot car racing is ridiculous here. Cannon is 4-5 seconds a lap faster and it still takes him multiple laps to pass Alvisi and now Doensen

Go. Plenty of shade for spectating and a real chance of a Brit winner.

You can watch the SoloGP later.

I wonder if there's some underlying health or injury problems with Langenfelder, he looked like the best guy at the start of the season but he's been off the pace the past few GPs.

Sacha is the most predictable rider I’ve ever watched as far as mistakes. Not if, when

Farres is going to win this title if his bike and health hold up.

Vialle just pulled out of the Quali race after 1 lap so it's not looking all to good sadly

I just don't understand why Gajser doesn't commit for the triple, it's probably .5 faster?

Looks so hard to pass even you are faster than guy in front

Finally in last lap Gajser jumps the uphill triple, good race with very elite top 4! Sadly very hard to make passes

The top 4 never changed places but you still couldn't take your eyes off it. This is shaping up to be a great championship.

To no avail. Passing is nigh impossible at the front. Pretty okay coming from 20th to 10th, but then the show is over.
