Yes I’m in the start turn. As long as it doesn’t rain this track will be good. Those table tops are some big booters. Hard to tell the crowd actually since it’s so flat
Cool thanks. Have a good weekend !

OK, so theres two timed practice sessions. Got it. Thanks.
Only the 2nd practice counts counts for gate pick for the qualifying races.

Hopefully the dirt can settle better for tomorrow, i think todays races gonna be a mess.
I hope those US local guys in the MXGP class pick it up or there will be a lot more close calls like that...
Some where more than a minute slower per lap

Who are these guys ? Do they ride the nationals or have they totally under estimated the MXGP class. A minute is a long way.

I just haven't seen it anywhere, what is the dirt like at the track? Like, is it a 50/50 dirt sand mix, or mostly sand? Looks like mostly dirt from the pics I have seen.

Bonus question, what tires are most of the guys running?

What if Covington wins this GP?
Will people still be crying about his selection?

Either there's something up with live timing or it started raining after a couple of laps.

Sand and clay mix is what it looks like. I have no clue on what tires I didn’t pay attention when I walked in the pits.

Covington is a tiny dude but flies!

Justin Cooper stands in his pegs longer than anyone. That kid is fast.
