That will be the only track this year I probably won't even watch the races.
Looks like they dumped a bunch a dirt bike riders on the beach and let them do donuts. Maybe the worst track of the year .

No coverage on Motors TV and my internet speed is to slow to stream the race. Live timing it is Whistling

How's the track looking ?!

Perfect start to the day for Jonass, possible title today if he can put enough points on Seewer!

It's pretty much as it should be now. Not super rough though because all the work they've obviously had to do all weekend but I bet it will get rough later on.

They've done such an awesome job of keeping it raceable. The rain has been awful !

Prado just doesn't give a crap, exciting stuff. Jonass hanging close.

Jonass is such a boring rider(as a fan). He's like the European Dungey but worse

Looked like Geerts was back up on the bike at the side of the track. That could have ended really bad.

Yeah that crash was gnarly as fuck. Glad he was up next lap they passed there!

And he's down! Dammit I was already so bumping my chest for calling his win before the start.

I'm suprised no one has pinned it into that guardrail yet in the past three years. The surroundings here are pretty dangerous if you think about it.

Gajser was pretty close last year and Simpsons crash looked pretty nasty as he landed straight on concrete. I agree it's super sketchy.

Yeah the least they could do is but som protection on it to make it a bit softer... But that's probably too expensive for Luongo, can't have and "unnecessary" costs

I thought exactly the same thing when I first walked the track there two years ago. They are so close at many places I was sure someone was or is gonna get hurt crashing in to them. There isn't even any padding on them.

It's very challenging (as an MX track should be) and so far has produced some great racing. What else do you want?
