Herlings rode incredibly well. But so did Kay, massive credit to the rookie!

Anyone knows if Maxime Renaux had a big crash or something in the first race? DNF/DNS today

Skovbjerg is genuinely such a good guy and can’t name anyone working harder than him. I sincere hope he get’s the support he deserves next year in MX2. Garcia is doing Garcia things and if he continues this path next year in MX2 he will get it his way.

Skovbjerg will ride for Beddini Ducati in 2027 (MX2 world championship).

Sacha Coenen is insane to watch.


Herlings and de Wolf were intense to watch.


Mxgp is unbelievable

He had a huge crash in front of the first grandstand. His Alpinestars body protector popped and visor broken. Picked up his mangled bike and went straight back to the paddock, not even into the pits

Gifting also had a huge crash in the corner before that section. I was surprised he showed up for moto 2

One of the best GP's in a long time. 

After the absolute snoozer at Uddevala, everyone needed this.

I think most people knew that Sweden would be a snooze fest as are most hard pack tracks. The sand tracks always deliver and yesterday was one of or if not the best GP of the year. Pretty much all classes were entertaining.

He was one of those great privateers back in the day that travelled from race to race on a shoestring, and would occasionally the stars would align and they'd pull a big result out of the bag. I'm pretty sure he won a 250 GP on an RM250?

I think he won a gp while riding a Husqvarna.

Oh wow, I didn't realise he finished that high up in a championship. I got into the sport in 1981 so I missed that one! 😄

Maxime’s having a though year. Even without injury this season are worse than the precious two. I Wonder what Di Carli’s was thinking when they signed him for the next two years. I would be surprised if he’s getting picked for MXdN.

Watching those boys haul in the sand is so incredible! Those races ruled too..

If a genie said to me that he can make me ride like Herlings or DeWolf in the sand but be absolutely shithouse on every other surface, I might take that deal haha

Watching the race I became a touch depressed about Lucas coming stateside. This is a proper sand race as they say and IMO he’s the best sand rider by a good amount and we may never see him race a sand race like this again. I’m happy I get to see him race in person but a bit bugged by that fact. 
 

We all thought Jeffery was going to dominate this race and De Wolf showed up. This was his breakout ride and hopefully he carries this into the rest of the season and more importantly next year. To me he has always been overshadowed by Lucas but this is his time to shine as the future of MXGP.

Best Sandrider because of winning two sandraces while Herlings was only a few months on a total different bike as he was used to? Herlings was definately not close to his best self in the sand in the beginning of the season, also not in dutch national sand races.

And Kay overshadowed bij Lucas? Didn't watch 2024 season i guess. Or you have to be a Lucas fanboy

Didn’t Jeffrey say he didn’t had anything for Lucas at that time? 

If you check the results of Italy and the Netherlands, Jeffrey is in the same spot compared to the other guys. So I think that he wasn’t ‘not used’ to the Honda at all

At that time not...but there is a difference in Jeffrey at Spain/Riola and Lommel/Arnhem

Really impressed what Byron Dennis is doing in emx250. To come over and get a podium within a few weeks (at such a track), really stromg.

Keith was disapointing, expected a much better showing of him. I hope it motivates him to come over next year.

And ducati, wow, to not qualify...

What happened to Keith in moto 1 do you know? Did he score a point in moto 2? He needs to do a full season in EMX250 because he won’t get noticed riding just doing the British.

Pulled out, didnt feel good on the bike and didnt want to risk crashing was what he said on dirthubuk.

Second moto was in p.15-16-17 for 6 or 7 laps, then crashed and finished 20th for a point.

I’d assume Mikula not starting Race 2, his team are almost packed up

Any word what happend? Finished 12th, while losing minute in last 4 laps... was hoping for technical issue like smashed gearlever or something...

No idea, he seemed to lose quite a bit at the end of race 1 then he’s gone. A shame for him, do you know if he’s doing the flyaways to make up the points?
