I just don’t understand how this has gone on for so many years without reproach.

Fucking Mitchell Harrison and Vince Friese. These guys are actually so fucking annoying. Just terrible lappers, blocking the leaders every time ffs.

Moto 2 450 class should be great. Deegs wins this race, he goes into 2027 thinking he’s the man. A little surprised at Roczen’s lack of intensity in the beginning and Hunta just looks blahhh.  Great moto 1 by Deegs and Prado for coming way back. It’s not easy to pass Webb.

Kemny got held up by 2 more lappers.

Great win for Deegs.

Haiden stepped it up. He could win this.

I agree. VF screwed Roczen.

Praying for a biblical last minute mudder to throw a wrench into Moto 2.

That's what happens when the track is so narrow and lined, the lappers become a huge problem and take forever to get around especially when they don't want to let the leaders by.

The venue is masking how much of a let down this track is.

It is NOT a good track, even last week offered more separation and passing opportunities (like the sand corner and several rhythms where time could be gained via triple combos).

After moto 1, he by far looks the best.

Friese and Harrisson tucked Kenny again. Shocker. But deegan was probably winning that either way. Solid ride. Prado better wake up and remember there's a mill on the line in moto 2...

Yamaha rider lets Deegan by and then jumps in Kenny's way.

He was screwed by lappers so many times that last 5 minutes

Haiden got a huge gift with the lappers. Vince and Harrison need to have their licenses pulled, ignoring the blue flag. Repeat offenders.

LOL. That team should install mirrors so he can fucking see & move!

You think he didn’t hear Kenny banging his motor off the rev limiter behind him? The guy just doesn't give a shit.

Never thought I’d root for Degs but I guess that’s my level of despise for George. Like a wishing for an colonoscopy over a root canal.

What a snoozer

Yeah IMO, I don't know why everyone is saying it's such a good track, think they were just swayed by the venue, but the track itself sucks + people are just looking for any positivity after the first 2 rounds.

Deegs.. “crumble under pressure.”

Roczen and Lawrence deserve it!

What did George do to you?

Seems dark out there

Seems like there’s a couple of dark spots, but otherwise it doesn’t look too bad to me. 

Kenny suggests otherwise

I thought Deegan was going to snap the throttle cable has hard as he was on the throttle. I guess riding a 450 like a 250 works sometimes.

The venue and layout look fantastic. But just having the premier class run 20 minutes and finish in the order started isn’t great. Seems there is nowhere to really seperate yourself on this layout.

Having had both, I'd take a colonoscopy any day.  The prep is the worst part.

How many times are you going to comment this in a few minutes. Sometimes it’s the riders.

I never cared for Prado in the GP's, but I'll take him over Deegan any day of the week.

With Prado 5th is it now pretty much winner takes all except for Webb for moto 2?
