Have to say Febvre didnt help himself there, should have run round the middle or outside of turn 3 on lap one, would have made up places, instead of getting in a log jam in the dead stop ruts on the inside.

He had the room to make that choice and didnt,

Prado is only fighting his teammates. He just let Gajser go.
Race 1, Prado was in front of Gajser for 9 laps
Race 2, Prado was in front of Gajser for 4 laps

He races Gajser just as hard as he races everyone... and at home, he definitely wasn't making it easy for anyone!

Renaux was on fire in the second race... what a pace he, Geerts and Vialle put.

Mxgp race 2 was intense.
Herlings and Gajser had 2 close calls in the finish line jump, in one of them Gajser landed on the side of the jump and almost hits the ads barners.

Herlings was just to good out there today, strong and very fast.
Great recovery for Gajser in the second moto, he was pushing hard too.
Febvre put in a charge in the second moto from last to 7. He was so fast and almost caught Bogers too.
Bogers impresed me in the second race, so solid ride for him.
Good race for Prado and a good present for the spanish fans.

Incredible atmosphere out there, being in a GP is so awesome... last gp i went was Imola 2018 and man, i was missing that feeling.
Next year im going to go one gp outside of spain, italy or something with no doubt.

When JH passed him there was almost contact. He was faster but there was almost no way to pass him somewhere. When Tony tried to pass him there was (again) contact. When Gajser passed him he let the door wide open. Just saying...

Don't want to say there shouldn't be contact, but Prado is many times slower and can't be passed without contact

Having watched all the races from the track, I'm just saying that he races everyone equally... You definitely don't see everything from the (excellent) MXGPTV coverage (eg. the incident Cesar is talking about when Prado crossed over on the finish line and Gajser almost hit the advertising banners to avoid him)

Herlings made a great pass with zero contact, Gajser did the same

What's going on with Vlaanderen? He has been in the top 10 lately and yesterday he was hovering around 15th. Poor starts? Injured, sick...or didn't gel with the track? Was the track hard pack?

Appears that Vlaaderen does well in the sand.

Is the timing the teams and broadcast receive available to the public, and if yes, does anyone have the link?

Don't know about his issues. He was 7th last week in France so he can ride well on non-sand tracks as well.

When van de Moosdijk was in pits to quit race 1 the mechanic's don't look very happy with the reason.

There was no clutch left in his bike? Seemed like lever went to handlebar.

I don’t think he lined up in the 2nd moto.

That was a good race - Vialle out front doesn't reduce that.

As for people here going on about the track being on flat ground - WTF are you talking about? Do these people even watch the racing?

It's got undulation, just no big hills . People write it ( and other tracks) as being flat as a maggot, like SX tracks are............Not everything can be Loket, or other steep tracks, and this track is far, far from being on flat, graded ground.

It just seems to be a perpetual bit of Bull Shit, that so many go on about tracks being on flat ground. Yes, there are some. Lommel's on a bit of sand in a light industrial zone, with about 2 meters of elevation, but bloody hell, , that turns into one of the most demanding tracks on Earth.

And then you get the usual "one lined" crap. I saw a lot of lines out there just now, and riders taking them.
I say it was great racing... Period!
