It’s crazy we have 4 guys within 14 points. Bad ass season that’s for sure.

What? Gasjer 3 seconds a lap faster than anyone these last two laps?

He wasn’t a few laps ago when it looked like Herlings was gonna catch him. He has found his groove now though.

People only get excited when Herlings is crushing it here!

Gasjer has crushed it for the 2nd half of the moto and... nothing! So underrated!
From deadth last to 5th with a broken shoulder or from 2th to 4th to 3th and again 4th if you don't now the difference you better stop watching MX.

I never said he doesn`t. I saw Monticelli launchit again on second corner and thougt it might be reason Herlings was near last. It was before start replay. It was just a question. No need to get all triggered.
You suggesting not to get triggered. The irony!

I’m far from triggered. We obviously see a different race. You could quite easily see that Herlings wasn’t involved in Montichelli’s crash.

What does Monticelli has to do with it all of a sudden? Even if Herlings tripped over him, he should've started ahead of everyone if he wanted to stay out of trouble.

What's up with those downvotes? Am I lying or something?

Option A: take a holeshot and have a clear track in front of you
Option B: start around 10th and have the risk on colliding with riders left, right, front and back

I'd know what to choose.

Seemed Herlings collided with Watson and not the "new-scapegoat-whenever-something-goes-wrong-Monticelli" it seems. According to the logic of some around here, that makes Watson "a dumbass".

Some people... Dry
Herlings colided with Coldenhoff, not Watson. But I agree with you about Monticelli.

There are start crashes in just about every race, it doesn't mean there has to be someone to blame.It was almost a full gate, deep sand and a 180 first turn. Crashes are almost a racing certainty but for some people where there's a hero there has to be a villain by default.

I don’t think anyone from either side of the pond has had as many fastest laps of the race as Febvre but with so few moto wins/overalls. It’s nice seeing him seal the deal and win. Hopefully he gets a few more before the year is done. Speed is the last of his problems.

He has more FL than people realize yet has so few wins since Matterly 2016. With the top two guys having problems (Gajser and Herlings) it’s Febvre capitalizing the most. If he didn’t smoke Jonass round 1 he would be leading the points.
The problem is,Febvre crashes too much,it’s a matter of time that he will be injured,till now he was lucky!
By the way,Cairoli would be leader too without his crash in russia in the second race.

I don’t think anyone from either side of the pond has had as many fastest laps of the race as Febvre but with so few moto wins/overalls. It’s nice seeing him seal the deal and win. Hopefully he gets a few more before the year is done. Speed is the last of his problems.

He has more FL than people realize yet has so few wins since Matterly 2016. With the top two guys having problems (Gajser and Herlings) it’s Febvre capitalizing the most. If he didn’t smoke Jonass round 1 he would be leading the points.

By the way,Cairoli would be leader too without his crash in russia in the second race.
By the way, Herlings would be a leader too if his start device wasn't stuck. And not only Febvre crashes too much. Gajser had four crashes in last 3 motos. They are not there yet, 6 gps done, 12 to go. If Herlings stays healthy for once he will be the champ

You all are having a worthless argument. Gajser is leading the points. It doesn’t matter how or why.

My argument was sarcastic meant on the argument about cairoli, you are right, gajser is leading the points. I still think IF Herlings stays healthy the rest of this season he will be the champ. He and Febre definately the fastest riders

That’s fair. I believe Gajser will be better at the hard packed races though. Febvre can be a legit threat if he can stay off the ground.

Prado ain’t far behind too. If he gets these great starts and starts clicking off some wins look out. He will be tough to beat.

The only thing I know for sure is I love this series.

Just got through the motos from today. Damn impressive performance by Jeffrey. And great riding by Febvre and Jonass as well.

MXGP is shaping up to be really great down the stretch, Herlings will have time to fully heal before Turkey and the chase will be ON.

Also a huge result for Benistant. Being held up by Guadagnini's crash in race 1, he came back from outside the top 20 to 5th. Without a front brake.

Impressive ride though.

There are a lot of ifs,the main subjet was about Febvre!Is there a gp this year where he didn‘t crash?
