12th first Moto, DNF second, 17th overall

I'm going with 17th overall with a DNF added in. The video wasn't too encouraging, Gonna be tough for him with that speed and flow, a over riding high speed get off looming I fear.

Strijbos is exceptionally strong at Maggiora,

Paulin & Stijbos ride above potential at Maggiora. If I was Germany I'd be bribing Paturel to become a honorary citizen for a couple of years.

I have a feeling Paulin will be progressing fine the remainder of the season, no points pressure and getting healthier, funny how Tixier is not even mentioned concerning France??

Even with Big Ken riding MX2?

Will Marvin be on team France? A healthy Paulin might be a better choice

France top step again, Belgium who's going to ride MX2 Strijbos, Desalle or Jeremy? Italy & Nederlands, Moto winners but no full team. Switzerland dark horse podium. Germany needs a competent MX2 hero. The Empire of Great Britain, Simson & 2 other riders who will have a issue (you know who they are). Looking good for USA to be on...

Shaun had a "chain" moment a couple of weeks ago again. That MXdN incident was a heartbreaker for sure, just gave away that podium step to the USA

7 TM's in the EMX125 class

Didn't realize RV was in the Championship, he rode a few one off crap fly away tracks but failed to finish one Moto on a regular GP track.

Christopher's brother Seb, Also Danny Chandler and JMB. Modern riders would have to be Febvre, has a instinct for finding traction and out braking the competition when charging

Nailed it

Congratulations, well done. We need more young American riders willing to venture out of the comfort zone and experience motocross as a adventure and dream. Gotta be dedicated and have a open mind, talk with Lackey about following your dreams to ride against the best

Not sure about the best friend assumption, but Ken is a great guy, but I wouldn't want him upset at me on the track

Racing for position, shouldn't be a issue. I can think of a few riders that Febvre wouldn't get away with that crap. Philippaerts, Desalle, Big Ken, Butron .. They would clean his clock for that type of disrespect

Agree with the Assen 10-15 point issue. In the states there will be some wildcards taking points away from the regulars chasing the Championship but still a spread of 10-15 is within reason

A whole gang of spoilers waiting in the shadows,

Tony is a sly old fox, as mentioned before the new leaders are pushing beyond the edge, neither has won a World Championship straight up without help from injuries to the competition. A DNF or a race missed due to injury is not out of the question and Tony is in the hunt in 3rd place even after his slow...

A DNf or missed race will change point standings quickly, Tony is still in the hunt but Febvre & Tim are in a class of thier own lately.
