LUCAS GONNA BE A PROBLEM AT SOUTHWICK!!

7/7/2026 9:55am Edited Date/Time 7/7/2026 1:04pm

For locals: How sandy is Southwick these days? 
I know they've trucked in a bunch of sand over the years, but it really hasn't looked like a sand track the last few years watching from a screen. 
We all know about the clay base, but I even recall seeing quite a few dry, dusty sections.

The way Hunter is riding, I'm not going to rule him out 

Can't see prado winning, around 3rd 

Lucas, top 2 

Sacha 2nd / 3rd 

Deegs, don't know what he's like in sand, but at a guess 3rd or 4th 

Jett, again, not 100% but that levels the field 

Shall be interesting either way 

 

Interesting that you say Sasha will be 2nd or 3rd. Will that result be because Sasha will crash or someone will beat him?

Just looking at it from a methodical point of view 

1, competition 

2, he usually has a tip over or worse 

3,he's not on his GP bike 

4.his mx2 lead is slender 

But who knows, he could goes balls out, which is what we love about him 

 

Sascha runs stock frame. So he will just get more power being on US bike then what he is used to which isn't a bad thing at southwick.

Weather plays a major part. If it has been dry, and is dry now, it will be hard.

Don’t count 38 out of this one it might be his best track, he’s the only one of the top guys that got to ride it these last couple weeks too. I think him and Lucas split motos with more curse words from the brothers

50% chance of rain on Friday 10% chance on Saturday with Temps in the low to mid 80's. Should be no problem for Lucas. Weather report is easy and accurate in the northeaat.

I love that shot. It feels like someone who has been searching all their life finally found what they have been looking for.

As long as douch deegs isnt in the top 5 I’ll be happy with how it plays out between the Lawrence’s, coenen and Prado

Two other guys I’m looking out for this weekend:

450’s - Roan Van de Moosdijk came from 33rd to 10th in moto 2 at Redbud on a stock engine.  Being Dutch he’s a sand specialist.

250’s - Kayden Minnear is also a sand specialist from here in Western Australia.  We have lots of deep sand tracks not unlike the Netherlands.

yep forgot kayden was a sandgroper....he's having a solid rookie season anyways, keeping it upright and no major diggers!

We are currently finishing up 2.5 days of steady, soaking rain here in town. Nothing torrential enough to cause a major washout at the track but plenty to soak down into it. They’re calling for some rain/T storms Friday early evening but it may not amount to much based off the percentages.  Relatively cool and full sun expected Saturday 👍

Lucas Mirtl, or Lucas Coenen ? Asking for a friend.

Mirtl. His skinny jeans and flat-billed Dodgers hat make him more aerodynamic than anyone else on the track.

     And it gives a new meaning to “ Ride it like you stole it “ .

Would that apply to the "babysitter" as well? He stole the money to pay for her services.

After the first turn crash, and then the engine failure, I just hope he's ok for his championship run in the GP's. Definitely had his bell rung from that engine failure/crash. That was very high speed. wind knocked out or possibly concussed. Sucks.

From 39th to 4th in only twenty minutes of racing was damn impressive! Raw speed.

From 39th to 11th in two laps 😂 On a track that mostly has one line through corners. He basically passed most of these dudes railing the outside. 

Every pass he made it looked like they were standing still. Unreal stuff

Not from anyone that was there. Everyone there loved it. We embrace euros and Aussies very well if they perform and respectful.  Another example of why we need a combined MXGP/AMA National event. There was that much Buzz

did we ever find out what happened? Did the bike really lock up? In the replay it kinda looks like the wheel was spinning. Maybe an accidental downshift or something?

I think you are probably right with that.

I just found it hilarious that on the last corner of the 1st moto sacha was hyping up the fans and I did see 2-3 middle fingers pointed at him 😂
