Unbelievable how many mistakes he already made this season. I think the sudden death of his mentor Dirk Geukens affected him more than we can imagine. Stop thinking about Vialle or the title and go for GP- and racewins. The rest will follow automatically. ... more »

Out for the rest of the Mantova races: Mike Gwerder (broken femur) Arnaud Tonus (small concussion) Michele Cervellin (broken bones in his foot, sustained at Faenza) Uncertain: Alessandro Lupino (torn ligaments in his right leg)
A lot of drama and gnarly crashes on Sunday... But today action restarts with WMX and EMX250. To continue about those crashes: I really don't understand why they turn a perfectly prepped track into a swamp by watering it so much. MX2 always seems to ... more »

I'm getting rumours left and right that he swallowed his tongue and needed CPR. Unofficial news so far.
Conrad Mewse extended his contract with Hitachi KTM UK with 2 more years.

Kyle Webster is out for the weekend. He hurt his shoulder and elbow at the ADAC international last week. Man, what a shitty season for Jacky Martens his team...
Yeah, that's his son. He's around 11 years old, I think.
Some facts heading up to the weekend: - Mantova is the track where Tim Gajser smashed his jaw at the pre-season race in 2018 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqOxRe2wWj8 - Last year this GP also took place. On Saturday the weather was perfect, on Sunday ... more »
About those neck braces: Ten years or so ago, 80% of the GP-field was wearing one. Nowadays that's maybe 10%. What's the deal with that?
A sandy track again, that was tormented by rain last season. Nice track that feels a bit like a stadium, with the crowd gathered on the outside. Additional classes: EMX250 (round 9, 10 & 11), WMX (round 9 & 10), EMX125 (round 11) Timetable: http://docs.mxgp.com/tvinfo/2020_MXGP_of_Lombardia_Timetable.pdf ... more »

TKO signed a two-year deal with Husqvarna Factory MXGP today.
There were 3 of them, Damien aswell. He wasn't a "high hitter", but on occasion all three of them scored points in the same 500cc moto, something that never happened again.

They said 4 races, but I'm not sure about that. He still needs further check-ups and they're very careful with neck injuries. I won't be surprised if he doesn't line up at all anymore this season.
I doubt if the GP of Spain will take place, actually. All the riders are commenting on their IG about "Mantova-Lommel". I don't know what the current situation is around Madrid, but it seems it's a no-go.
No Guadagnini, Furbetta or Cenerelli today, as they are racing in the Italian championship.
