I remember the 2008 edition as a very wet one, even more as this weekend.

imo why practice tracks need to be groomed 10 times less. (and with the fee adjusted to that)

What happened to Richard Loots? I’d thought he’d be all over these GP threads or has he been clicked?

October. Shortly after Netherlands won the MXdN.

The hangover can't last that long, can it? Lol.

Man Prado dropped the fastest lap bu 1.5sec in the quali race, I'm guessing Herlings isn't pushing it for a qualifying? i didn't get to watch it.

Was at the press conference after qualifying and Herlings said he had massive arm pump in the first couple of laps. He also said AJ was very fast both in timed practice as well as the race. He gave the impression he just couldnt do better today, but also looked quite optimistic/positive for sunday. Which i can understand since gajsers dnf really hurts on this track & start

I would love to see this here at the U.S. Nationals. These tracks have really honed the riding skills of the GP riders, and it's one of the reasons that they are the fastest outdoor riders in the world.

Damn, I think I have to swallow the pill and spend the 130 € for the MXGP-TV season pass. Anybody got a voucher or something?

Bite the bullet and get it man! I did and no regrats, not even one letter.....The racing is awesome and look at the number of entries for this weekend! North America is doing something wrong, and the GP's are doing something right as much as that pains me to say. The 125 racing was excellent, as was the Women's, never mind the the MX1 and MX2 classes. The production is excellent as well. Worth every penny. I finally just finished watching everything. Lots of content.
I bought it. Had the day pass last week and got the whole season now. Just hope they stay healthy and the racing stays as good as it is now. MXGP Qualifying race was the sh*t today!

Forato down hard today, hope he is fine for tomorrow. All 3 classes are just stacked this season, where are they all coming from?

One thing I thought about watching EMX250. Everts jumped from 125 to 250 and hanged in there very well, finnishing in front of for example Guadagnini who scored very good points in MX2 last week. The talent pool is ridiculously deep.

The knee that AC has recently damaged is the Right Hand one, isn't it?

I cringed each time I saw him put it out and had it whip back when his foot touched down, when they were following him. The PCL, I think I heard.

He's already got ruined / repaired ACLs, so to do a PCL after that is damned near the end of a knee. Me, I've synthetic ACLs in both knees, no PCLs, no cartilage and, I think, no MCLs. Well, they can't be there, the way my knees flap about.... Whistling

I wonder if he will pull out of the series at one point and get it fixed. There is no reason for him to be out there if he can't battle for the title.
