2018 MXGP of Czech republic Rd.14 this weekend

?

We were there last year, damn I wish I back there for this race. Such a cool venue and location. Have fun David, and thanks for offering your help to us last year.

Prado for the red plate!!

Interested to see how Liam Everts performs.

There is still plenty of time to catch a plane to Prague

Unique view with Loket castle in the background

Is the big step down still in the track? Heard rumors its been gone, is this true?

Love this place... Spent a lot of time here in the early 2000's

Hows the weather looking Dave?

I was wondering that as well. Been there the last three years and saw some gnarly crashes, with on top of that the tragic one of last year..

Won't make it this year, but it is a good GP to visit! You guys should go to Karlovy Vary on the weekend, some good parties out there

Been there 2 times. And had a "few" beers too.

Gambrinus is the premium beer made in the same factory as Pilsner Urquell - Its rarely exported, so tough to buy outside of CZ

If you do make the pilgrimage, please do try

I really hope it's gone. It should have been gone years ago. That's probably the single most sketchy jump I've ever seen.

But it's always fun to see the 65 & 85 classes. I always get a kick out of seeing someone ring the shit out of those mini bikes.

I’m already planning next year’s trek to CZ. Drank some unfiltered Pilsner Urquell right out of the barrel at the brewery, damn good time.

I sure hope they got the step down taken care of, RIP Igor. The smaller bikes really had no business being on that track, from what we could see.

Yes, its part of the track, BUT was modified to slow down with speed bump at the top of jump. Today I should have first pictures.

I dont think so. Problem is not the jump, its technically simple. But if you made mistake, like Jonass jumps from left to right, be sure that you fall. In tragic moment of last year was problem with track maintenance (big holes and small wheels does not work). Anyway in 65/85 class maybe sometimes parents overestimate their children's abilities and push them to do something they themselves do not. I hope it wasn't this example.

All my extended family is from Brno (im from New Zealand) and last time we were drinking Kozel? the goat beer and slivovice. Cant wait to come back to CZE

Looks like they flat the face of that step down. You can see on the side of the track it was higher before(the grass), same with the bulldozer, behind it its not that steep anymore like the past...

Good to see they modified it. Was horrible to witness last year. Should be a good and safe weekend of racing.

Wondering how Herlings will do, as it is not his favorite track at all

Agreed. Urquell is the way to go.
