Yeah there were other crashes on that jump in previous years, if my memory is correct it gobbled up Olsen and Tonus previously…This year was way worse though

Watson crashed there the last time they was there.

What did you say, they won’t change the way they put the videos up after each race. Still waiting for MX2 race 1 but it doesn’t matter because the 2nd race is up now Grinning

I know & it seems like I’m banging on about it. I was able to watch live today but in the future life gets in the way & it’s not possible. In the past all replays would’ve be available by now. MX2 race 1 broadcast finished at 11am GMT, in the past at 11:01 that race would’ve be available to watch.

I assume riders were losing their front ends at the base of the jump or early on the face to end up so 'short' on the top / off the side of the jump, like AC was and the bloke that they had the yellows / medical / wheels on the ground ( if it's part of the GPs) out for.

A worry with that bloke is if he hit what looked to be a support wire for the finish line tower / gantry. Hope he's OK

Pretty good racing, I thought, especially in the 450s. Tiga really has it down. AC looked great until whatever happened on that jump, which leaves him 30 points down already, I think. He certainly was wanting to get back into the race, even with the clutch hanging off and the bars bent to buggery.

All riders have had sweet FA racing prior to this, so, I don't think any of the top riders are 'behind' anyone else in terms of Race prep and training.

Should be a great year of GPs!

pretty good comeback from Gajser, considering he was pretty much last after the start....coming back to pass everyone

He was side-saddle going off the track

There was two winners today. Gajser obviously was the class of the field and his second moto ride will be talked about for ages and while we are always bombarded with the greatness of KTM I realized we are watching the best Honda rider in the history of the GP’s.

Herlings was the other winner, instead of being the fastest he ended up being the Wiley old veteran. While everyone was crashing around him he was a 4th place guy that ended up 2nd.

Insane ride. Essentially got back within 5 secs of the leader in a couple of laps.

Herlings looked stiff at track with many mistakes and out of breath after race. Lets hope he gets back to shape or Gajser will have lonely summer at front.

Looks like at 4pm Pacific Coast time CBSSN will be airing MXGP. Hopefully that is what they actually air? BUT, there is a Rugby match before that, so, who knows if the Rugby will end on time.

Never seen that many crashes on one jump before. The whole track looked super hard packed

Any words on Monticelli's physical condition ? Because he didn't ride the second moto...
