All this talk about Tiga & Jeff. Bit of an insult to AC222 & Hoff who I expect to continue to get better as rounds go on.

Also remember Tiga & Jeff are known for big get offs!!

Raced in France.

That’s a nice field for a local race on a GP weekend.

Cairoli was injured in 2015, 2016, 2018 and 2019. He also allready picked up 2 injuries in the preseason.

Gajser has had some bad injuries in the past and seems to crash hard every other GP.
I cant remember when Herlings had a season without injuries.
Prado broke his femur
Febvre is out allready
I'm a massive Coldenhoff fan but he has never been close to a title contender (and was injured last year as well)

It pains me to say but i expect health to determine the title.

Prove or it’s not that way.
Supposing that in MXGP the motor can be completely revisited, while in AMA it’s not possible, my guess is that the motor that geerts is on, is more powerful than the star racing ones.

You are totaly wrong. Geico Honda also is much better than any of ones used in GP`s. Lawrence was using Geico engine when he raced in Europe.

Meh.. i highly doubt that geerts is on a star engine.
Anyway, Honda hrc, in the 250 class, in mxgp it’s years that is not investing on and i wouldn’t be surprised that geico’s bikes are better.

Well, it`s a free world. You can believe whatever you want. Ain`t our job to convince you of anything.

Interview with a Grand Old Man - I'm pretty sure he'd not be impressed by that description -Mr Roger Harvey.
:
https://www.facebook.com/hondaproracing/videos/1782121608590762/


I've been a 'fan' of Roger ever since I saw him in the 125GP series, in the Gaston Rahier era. He was out there on a very outmatched Husky CR125, but, doing pretty bloody well.

He's been in MX since then, through so many positions within the sport. So much knowledge, so many great stories to tell. Last year, Dirt Bike Rider had a great interview with him (well, they, and other mags have had quite a few interviews with him) , with his own story, his HRC postilion(s), and his thoughts on his era, and the current era.

An Impressive,, grounded, funny man.

It took me most of the day today to watch all the MX1 , MX2 and 125 classes......and man , it was some great racing! And a side note : That was some freaky weather during some of the racing and qualifying. Raining on one side of the track , sunny on the other. Those qualifiers though??..uggh!! Haha , track was lookin' pretty shitty!

The 125's.....was really bummed on Max's racing. He basically just got his ass handed to him. I was super impressed by Liam!! Man that kid came into his own! MX1 and MX2 had some new comers that really shook things up , and this whole season is going to be awesome!! Was worth my $142.00 USD....any day of the week!
Took me till Monday night to finish it all, and every bit of it was awesome Jeffro. So worth the money! The racing was crazy good throughout all four seasons of weather in a matter of hours, the production was awesome, and Malin is the goods. These guys haul ass and the 125 class is so cool-Everts race craft in moto 2 was impressive. No panic, then reeled in the leader in and put the hammer down. And 94 entries in the EMX250 class for the next race! Can't wait.

Geerts better have a Star engine if he wants to keep up with those Factory KTMs.

All in all the surprise of the weekend : Maxime Grau in EMX125. 14 year old kid going for his first ride in the 125 class and got 6th overall. Last year he was not even winning the EMX85 and junior 85 championship, he was top 5 behind Lata, Bidzans, Reisulis, Prugnieres...

This video uses Highlights contents, but has some short interviews and other vision in it, so, not bad.

Liam Everts comment about his Dad winning there 14 years ago (and now him going 1:1) reminded me of seeing him, as a baby / a 1 year old up on the podium with his Dad, reaching for the event trophies, throughout the year - they were His........Cool
