The forecast has been changing by the minute but at the moment it looks like it'll be heavy showers this afternoon.

Not looking good for Vialle. Still no lap done, so the injury has to be pretty bad.

And the track is super smooth, this is huge for the championship. There is no way that he can be fit enough for Maggiora in a weeks time if he can't race today.

Edit: No way might be a bit premature. But no way that he can race for the win at Maggiora if he can't line up today.

Concerning Zanchi, the 125 kid who caused the red flag yesterday, being pretty close with the MJC racing team, I asked his mechanic (who was Gajser's mechanic for many years) for some news and he told me that he's OK, nothing is broken ! He was knocked out and "only" has a concussion but he seems to be OK !

Glad he's ok. He looked like he was out cold before he even hit the deck.

Grandpa Tony showing the young guys “the way” around Matterly.

He seems healthy and up to speed to go after his 10th world title. Rode good at Russia to, big bummer he lost allot of points there second moto.

So I’m assuming geerts must be dealing with quite a lot of trouble with that knee, figured this would be his day to get back in the championship with vialle out but 2.5 seconds off is not a good start!

Antonio getting fastest Qualifier is cool.

I do hope they flatten the 2 or 3 dirt mounds they've built up, and move those black bales ( or whatever they are) on the downhill, just back a bit from the track edge on the downhill. In the first lap, being the 3rd straight, it wouldn't be hard to have a TDF like pile up from someone clipping one or two, and the later promo banners. *They didn't*.

It's a fast track, but it's over 2 minutes - so [well] over 3 minutes for Old 'Fraidy Dizzy Bears. As I wrote earlier, I'd love to ride such a track. Safe and fun for the average / below average bloke, but still great for the (incredibly) fast and talented riders.

Hopefully the weather stays clear. To me, it looks potentially grim, but the track announcers that you can hear when PM is off air, were saying it would skirt the area.

MX2 could get intresting. A bunch of guys see that this is their chance to take advantage with the two biggest title favorites hurt.

Not a fan of the trackwork for today. They should've left it alone, this reminds me a bit of the stock MX Simulator tracks.

Finally heating up at the sharp end these last couple of laps. Could be good.

Am i the only one being impressed by the lack of lappers? Blink

I get it, it is long lap but still the lap difference between 1st and 20th is around 2 seconds a lap.

Something something MX2 something something not deep
