If there was ever a race to demonstrate how crazy this track is. That was it. Races should be insane tomorrow. Definite encouragement for RV, still more to come from a few others. Paulin looks right back on it. Too bad I have to wait till Monday to watch

On a track where many said gate picks were important, 9th and 10th picks on the gate started 1 and 2.

If this is an indication of what tomorrow will bring, it will be great.

Cairoli and Paulin fast lap is 0.5 to 1 sec faster than any other top rider; I think are the favourites for tomorrow...but anything can happen!!

I wouldn't rule Desalle out either. If he can somehow get a start from 22nd pick. RV is very capable of a podium if he gets 2 starts

Just a little banter, not ment to be mean....... Looking like possibly the best race so far this year, hell sounds like the Q has been the best so far.

Can't see Rattray making it through the season as I stated before. He's just a accident waiting to happen and past his usefulness Covington falling into his routine again this season? Encouraging for Shaun and big Ken sneaking in there also. Tomorrow will be exciting..

It's been beat to death a million times, but seriously, the fact that Herlings is in MX2 is a complete joke.
Well, here's the thing so many who want to put the boot into Herlings, yet worship someone like RC should consider:

RC did 3 full seasons in 125MX, getting the US National 125 title 3 times. But, that's A-OK, isn't it?

And, didn't he drop back down to the 125s when he'd moved on to 250s, to beat The Bombers race win tally? I'm fine with all of that , but hell, no one else should be able to try to emulate the achievements of others before him?

Seriously, you people that slag Herlings really need to know a bit of history. He's was perfectly within his rights to try to match Gaston Rahier , Harry Everts and Alessio Chiodi in getting 3 World championships in a row. Turns out, he didn't - that's Motocross / Injury for you.Now he's trying to at least equal their tally of titles, in what is now considered the 'tiddler' class. He might do so, he might not.

It's just pathetic the crap written against him, from those that obviously know f**k all about the sport, or think it's OK for one of their 'heroes' to get a few titles in, before they go onto other classes. And, no, I'm not a fanatical follower of Herlings - he's just another rider to me.

And, no, they didn't "change the rules for Herlings", that another ( and plenty of others here seem to want to push) previous poster put forward. Perhaps that prick Luongo realized they might push Herlings into going to the US to be 'allowed' to continue to ride 250s, and they saw sense / changed the rules for themselves.. The age rules, and the lure of SX for some riders, really drive a few GP riders to the US. Heck, it drove one of my favourite riders, Zachy Poo, back to the US, with him not wanting to be forced into 450s. They / Luongo, still need to wake up to themselves and get rid of the piss poor rule for 'ageing out' at 23. 45 /50+ HP 250s are really not tiddlers, and hell, you'd think that the massive entries in EMX 250s (and various Continental National series) might show them that there are plenty of riders coming through..

A further example of the stupidity of this 23 rule, is that EMX250s, the 'feeder' class, has no such rule - the current EMX250 Champion is too old to race in his class in the World Championships. Oh, Pocock rode both EMX250 and some MX2 races in his EMX250 Championship year - so EMX250 riders are allowed to do MX2 GPs, provided they fit the 'under 23' rule - someone asked about it earlier.

No age out rule in the US Nationals, nor SX. Thank f**k. Yes, I am aware of the 'pointing out' rule in the regional 250 SX series.

Back to this weekends GP - should be good! I hope all get through it in one piece. It's a tricky, treacherous track.
