Factory Yamaha rider Jeremy Seewer won his first overall MXGP this year with 1 - 2 moto scores.

Seewer led from holeshot to checkers in moto one. Even with a small tip over, he definitively won outright.

The MX2 Championship was decided in Trentino with Maxime Renaux taking both the overall win with 2 - 1 moto scores and securing a 110 point lead going into the last two rounds.

What do think of the Beta RX 450 with white plastics? I think it looks fantastic.

This is one of the most exciting MXGP seasons to date! There are only four points between the top three riders. Herlings went from red plate holder to third after the MXGP of Garda. Also, the kill switch/hand guard mount combo is a nice touch.

Tim Gajser's Honda HRC CRF450R has a what we can assume is an RPM indicator for the start that is different than some of the other bikes. Its much smaller, but a little less sano with the wire and tape job.

Mathys Boisrame hopped up to the MXGP class and a fill-in factory ride for injured Ivo Monticelli.

This is a 250 SX-F from the German WZ Racing team. Nice carbon hangers and the HGS header is a little shorter than stock, but longer than the factory KTM Akro systems.

A factory Kawi KX450 with silver hose for the external oil cooler. Not sure if that is for heat or just looks. Also, that PC pipe just looks good, and it has a much 'smoother' bend than stock.

Fresh tires for the moto.

Glen Coldenhoff showed early speed, but faded a bit in both motos finishing 7th overall.

GASGAS is running a sheet of clear graphic s on its frame. Ironically, the plastic guard that is there to protect the frame often removes paint itself. This is a good idea for KTMs, GASGAS', and Husqvarnas.

Factory Yamaha MX2 team opting for the stock volume air box cover, while a lot of teams have moved to a bigger option or a lot of holes. You can't see, however, that the other side of the air box has an opening for the gas vent hose.
