I went MX2 because it’s the premier class to EMX and that’s what I race in the US at nationals. And you get a lot more track time in MX2. EMX only gets one practice and two motos. Not really worth the trip over for a one off race. And there was no qualifying in EMX this weekend.
Also how annoying was it too look at Tom's face all weekend, was that worth the 2k

Sorry that some people are just idiots...
That was a tough GP to race though. The track and also the level. Usually there are a few locals that ride around in places 25 to 30. Not in NED... the locals smoke some of the GP regulars here because of the sand.
A guy like Lesiardo finished outside the points both motos. He won EMX250 last season...
Not exactly surprising that a decent chunk of these people are from the UK, either. It's actually pretty sad if you ask me.
their was 48 riders in qualifying for EMX250, but only 40 riders in the races,
cool to see you go there and give it a go, the people I know that have ridden there have all said it is very tough, and to see the top guys not that type of track is amazing,
but with others, I worry about the speed differences between riders for the MXdN next year, they are bad enough at hardpack tracks,
I'll be looking forward to seeing the new Alias line,I have a couple sets of your gear,It fits great and is wearing great too.
Here is a photo of you from Southwick this year.

Thanks for coming back and explaining what happened in moto 2. I apologize for the comment as I just took the info of the result sheet and as they say there's always more to a story than first appears.
Good luck in your racing results going forward.
Ouch.
I really, really hope they bring in a Shit Load more sand next year. And I mean a Shit Load. Spend a bit more money, Giuseppe!
So it extends well past the track boundaries where it can, and that they do a far better job of covering / avoiding the amount of 'roadside' furniture at the event. Hard to do with the 2 straights down and up the main straight, but at least a better effort could be made.
Coldenhoffs bike went into the crowd last year - hence the modified first turn , 2nd straight, 2nd turn, 3rd straight combo, this year. I wonder if they got sued by anyone - his bike certainly mowed a few spectators down.
The place will be utterly packed next year, that's for sure.
A guy broke his arm due Coldenhoff's bike, don't know if anyone got sued afterwards.
But, he / they should make it so there is no concrete / plywood / low fences / armco to land on right by the side of the track. Be it through Youthstream either paying for it, or requiring it of the Organizers - whoever they may be.
Yes, it's ultimately, a shitty track. As I've said before, it's only saving grace is it's Sand. Cripes I hope they do a better job of it for the MXDN. The Sport / a Track is dangerous enough without having things just off it to axe you.
Broken arm? I wonder if you sign your life away when you buy tickets. I can't say I've noticed the sort of disclaimer we had in OZ (well, NSW at least) that absolved (well, tried to) organizers from responsibility if a spectator got axed by flying bikes or cars, on any of my GP / MXDN tickets over the years.
Anyone know just what sort of track Imola will be? I fear the typical 'pop up' track that Luongo loves. But, they did have GPs there back in '64, and earlier.................
I guess it was an unforgettable experience, though if you're "riding for fun" it probably wasn't the coolest GP to attend...
Good you're OK!
it was sketchy and could have gone real bad , but it didnt ... not this time
