Does Farres have a flat or something?

McLellen will win this thing...he is floating around the track with plenty of time on the clock.

Would be nice to see Camden go 1-1-1 this weekend with Guillem and Simon finishing outside the top five. Just so we get a tighter championship battle.

That 1-1-1 starts to look good.

Camden is on different level here...

Is Lata nurturing injury or something? In last few months he had inconsistent pace during every moto... surely the HRC twofiddy can't be that bad. 

If i was DeCarli i would snatch JMR instead of Lata...

Why is Van Drunen competing in the MX2 class just to make up the numbers?
Why doesn't she race in the EMX2, where she’s a much better fit?
It strikes me as a bit of a bid for attention.

Only 3rd place from free practice does hinder his potential perfect weekend so far.

She wouldn’t qualify in EMX250 that’s why.

Larissa Pappenmeier and Livia Lancelot also tried their luck in MX2 in the past... 

Live and let live. If there is a free gate in mx2 (which there are plenty) it is not a big deal. Taking potential quali spot from some young gun in EMX250 is a tiny bit more rude imho.

Do you not have to qualify for MX2?  Do you just pay your entry fee and you can race?  
I know the MXGP series has a hard time filling gates at fly away races, but I would assume this one would be packed.

Well, that race was a Bloody Ripper!

Such a Brutal and Demanding Track, with such great performances by the riders.

McLellan really is on it at the moment !

Bummer for Liam - perhaps what finally killed his bike, was part of his dropping back, before it finally carked it.

McLellan is a machine in the sand, lucky for everyone else that his starts suck.

It's crazy how much things can change in this sport. Just watching Adamo then, I had a memory of him getting lapped by Geerts when they were fighting over a world title in 2023, but at the moment in MXGP Adamo is up nearly 30 seconds on him

I take it you have scored a world championship point ?

You do if more than 40 riders show up but if there isn’t, bring a wad of cash & you can ride a GP.

How does this track always seem to get a little faster for the second motos than the first?

Also, why do they keep bringing people into the booth with Malin? He really doesn't need it, it seems to throw everything off more than add anything.

Having a 40 rider gate at Emx250 and just 25 guys at Mx2 also feels kinda wrong, not gonna lie. Specially when there's a couple guys in Emx250 being capable of being top 10 in Mx2

If you’re running dead last and trailing by about three laps, you have no business in the GP—regardless of whether you’re a man or a woman. She wants to prove she can compete with the men, but she can’t do that in the GPs. That’s a noble goal, but she should pursue it in a class where she can actually be competitive; she might not reach the podium, but she could certainly ride her way into the top 15. And scoring a single point? That’s just for show—it doesn’t really mean anything.

With Lucas out thank god for MX2. I don't think they showed 30s of Jeffrey in MXGP because he was gone - no race there! Incredible racing in MX2.

That was a clinic. 

Losing Lucas (thanks Renaux…) has crushed the racing. Would have been great to see if Lucas could have given Jeffrey some challenge.
