Win the MX1 GP in Germany?

Racing a 450 not the 350 against the 350 mounted Cairoli with the home crowd behind him, it should be awesome.

Lets not forget Pourcel, Desalle and Nagl if he is healthy. Should be epic!

This place might explode if a guy who isn't even winning the Lites class here wins over there.

I'll be pulling for him that's for sure. I can't cheer against that guy. It's awesome that he does all of these races. You can tell he just loves racing. Not many guys do any races outside of what their contract says.

His chances of winning in his home country on a circuit he knows is a lot easier than winning in America. I hope he wins, he deserves some success this year, then go to the MXoN and win his third MX2 overall in a row. That would be really cool.

My guess is he wins the MX2 at the des nations, which will really get a new "us-vs-them" debate going that no one will win.

KTM has a legit chance of sweeping the German GP then all 3 classes at the MXdN (Dungey/Cairoli, Herlings, Roczen).

He can win but I don't think he will, I think Tony will be too strong. If I had to guess I'd say top 3 or 4, almost certainly top 5 imo.

I think he absolutely can win, but Cairoli won't want it happening. With the home support behind him it is a distinct possibility, at least a podium I would say.

Also will be interesing to compare Roczen's lap times to Herlings.

I think he will. The championship is done, nothing much left to race for for the other guys and with a home field advantage... I just hope Nagl is fit for the Nations..

Although seeing him on a 450 will be extremely interesting, I have to admit I rather he were riding MX2 just to see how he'd now compare with Tommy and Jeffrey - whether that be faster, slower or the same.

Jeff,

Not sure mate. I might go, but I will let you know if I do. Wouldn't mind seeing Roczen in MX1, and I do love that track, but might travel to Belgium instead and check out the Americans practicing.

Allright G,
Think that practice track will be as crowded as the Teutschenthal track.

And yes, I think Roczen can win and this place will explode when he does.
Luckily, a week later is the MXdN which will shut everybody up again. Wink

350

Seems Kenny doesn't really care when or where he races, or on what bike.

He should be as motivated as anyone with the Championship wrapped up.
