I'm so hyped for this. Cool to see the Coenens so competitive in qualifying!

Every time I see how smooth Coenen is I have to remind myself he's still only 19

Coenen is not quite a time practice specialist. Looks like he can win today.

The gate is going to be a tense place today.

I’m really liking the track changes today. That big double before they turn back downhill to toward the trees looks like a fun floater.

I think Christian Craig is doing pretty good this year! Happy for him!

You’re going to have to be more specific about which one or else you can’t chime in later with the “Told you so! I knew it!”

There is nothing wrong with national pride. Look at all the euros on here rooting for MXGP riders from their respective countries. Good for them, the Euro's are looking really good.

I don't see it being taken to extremes right now. Just a bunch of moto guys rooting for "their" guys. Nothing wrong with that.

I think he only rode the 250 for 2 years in the gps before going 450. James was in the big boy class at 19 years old as well

So with Lucas being younger by a year if he ends up beating Deegan today do the Deegan fans still say, “he is just a kid, give it time”?

If you are watching on a computer look at 23:20 to 23:35. Some Deegan Prado drama?

Jo really needs to find his groove. I can't deal with another season of him suddenly remembering he's a bad ass at round 8

Less ripping is better....  you want slot car racing with the biggest ruts of the year?  They've overdone it in races past.

Crashed a lot in his first 250 year (while only being 16), went toe to toe with De Wolf and just barely missed out on the title in his 2nd year, moved up to MXGP already last year and only missed out on the title because he came into the season injured, leads the points now and will still be the youngest ever MXGP champion if he wins it this year. He's special.

I've seen enough. Davies is 10000% a title contender

I think he wants to prove he’s not just a SX guy like Coop or McGrath. He’s really showing he can get it done outdoors as well.
