Does anyone know what the weather has been at Thunder Valley? If they've been getting the rain we have in my parts those ruts will be bottomless.
Coenen's will be on Pireill's @ TV . The rest of the field on Dunlops except Beta on Bridgestone's.
Its dry as hell around here
And riding around in his motorhome.

I have not watched a great deal of MXGP the past few years, caught all of the weekends' racing, and then after watching this video I think Lucas might be my second favourite rider to watch in action after Jett.
Going to be great watching this weekend unfold.
...with one of Mirtl's babysitters...
Going off how Sasha looks in this hard to see him outside the top 3, I hope he gets Prado at least so Prado doesn't blame the bike when he realises he can't hang with Jett.
Nothing against Luca coenen...... Yes, he can beat the herlings of today, 31 year and clearly takes fewer risks than before.......but whether he would have beaten the herlings of 10 years ago as well, nobody knows
How's that even relevant? That's like comparing Herlings to Everts, or Everts to Geboers, or Geboers to Robert. We're racing now, not 10 years ago.
Because he says he has .....NEVER.... seen anyone who makes it so difficult for a healthy herlings .... then he talks about a healthy herlings off 10 years ago as well I think
By the way, you can compare geboers to Joël robert....
There is no way to know. The sport is constantly evolving, both in technology and technique. On top of that, I’d have to believe that after blowing up a couple bikes this season, it would have to affect Herling’s confidence to push to the limit. Either way, I’m confident that Lucas will never touch Herling’s records in Europe since he’s made it clear that he wants to graduate from MXGP and pursue AMA titles in both MX and SX.
Yes, because euro riders in MXGP famously never have to ride beat-to-shit tracks that are trying to kill them every lap
Can't wait for Saturday!
I think you are missing some critical info in your assessment there, guy.
Under the circumstances, as many have allready stated, I would be surprised if he gets top 4, let alone beats Jet
It's just so fucking cool for these guys to take the risk to come out. I hope neither gets hurt and they both run up front in each class. Big win for us fans in NA.
Why does everyone make such a big deal of the elevation? I dont get it, maybe I'm missing something.
Except for maybe Tomac none of the top guys lives at elevation, so does anybody have an advantage here? Mxgp races at elevation every year too. Maybe not 5000ft, but over 3000
Sylvain, yes. Eric, no.

Nah, you have no idea. Herlings looks better this season than he did over the past 4-5 seasons on his KTM. Lucas and Herlings gapped 3rd by 30-60 seconds in multiple races. If it weren't for Lucas we would talk about how Herlings looks just like he did in 2018/2021, he is even getting good starts now. Sadly he had to deal with multiple DNFs that were completely out of his hands and despite that he is still 2nd in points.
Also no clue why you're saying 10 years ago, 10 years ago Herlings wasn't even on a 450 yet lol
Also "31 year and clearly takes fewer risks than before..." yeah NO. Herlings goes out there and is willing to die for wins. Have you seen his Trentino win? Or his Sardegna ride trying to chase Lucas? He looks on the edge, just like he did in 2018 or 2021. He doesn't settle for podiums/2nd places. Current Herlings still dominates the whole field, just like he did back then, except for one guy.
Also Lucas is only 19 and in his 2nd year. That's not even the best we have seen from him yet (hopefully, who knows what it looks like when SX comes into the play).
Does this look like a guy who takes fewer risks? 🤣
Whoa dude, too many facts in one post. Remember, you're on Vital here.😄
ISRT (Friese and Tondel) are on Maxxis.
Lakewood track is over 6,000 feet.
Herlings in interview also says he believes Lucas is currently the best mx racer in the world, while being a huge Jett fan.
Was he testing the PC bike or actually signed and racing it?
If it’s the interview I think you’re speaking of he said Lucas is the best rider on sand tracks in the world.
Well, ereryone has their own opinion......maybe i have no idea , that's possible, but I've been following herlings since the 65cc......and have seen him in action real often .....I'm from the netherlands ..........
If you have not seen Sacha ride in the flesh, hopefully you should be in for a treat, he is fun to watch
I mean yeah you're from the NL and have a Herlings profile picture on top of that, so you're being biased in your opinion isn't really surprising to me lol
I've also watched pretty much every race of his in the GPs and got the chance to see him ride in person in 2018. Dude is still on it, but wether you want to accept it or not, Lucas is the real deal and Herlings has not slowed down at all.
I still think a photo/video section would be a good thing for this place.
