Let’s see what second qualifying brings but the first session was dominated by overseas riders.

L. Coenen will obliterate the field today. It's crazy he had 7.00 betting odds to win the event.

Only three American riders in the top 10 in the first 450 qualifier.  Crazy how international the series is.

Luongo should take a serious look at that, if you ask me...

Weege interviewed the guy who decided to make that change on the weege show. With way more power the bikes have these days it has been a very one lined section and this new layout should provide way more lines is what he said.

"The guy." That's Keith Johnson, he owns the track. He's also an NESC legend and a former KTM factory rider

Many said the same when they lost Townley, Roczen, Musquin, Rattray, Pourcel and Searle.

Others will come through and providing Kay stays and remains an injury free, MXGP will retain a star!

Did southwick tame the big single before the table way down? The tops guys used to launch that thing. Looked non existent in yesterdays first laps

As a Belgian, having in both classes somebody from my country top the timing tables so far is unreal to see ... hope they keep it up! None the less it's awesome to have a whole bunch of international guys competing this weekend!

Well I expected Sacha to be up there in the mix but not on his 3rd ever quali lap on this track being 2 seconds faster than anyone else lol, even topped it slightly on Lap 6 with another .56 guy is no chill 

He is learning the American Way to make sure to get two fast laps in case his fast lap gets taken away for some arbitrary reason.

I never understand why they list who got the holeshot in qualifying in AMA MX, it isn’t a race it’s just fastest timed lap in the session, it is not a holeshot, it’s lame lol. 

MXGP it really is a holeshot because it’s an actual race. Makes sense here.
