I thought i'd start the race thread. Tim Gajser is out! Read more here: http://mxvice.com/67248/injury-update-tim-gajser-3

EMX 250 moto 2 is coming up in a few minutes and it's raining.

And if that doesn't work, you can still try this...

I'm intrigued to see how the Herlings/Cairoli battle goes today, those two are definitely trying to prove something to each other right now.

The EMX 250 overall. Weltin is still performing better than Charboneau. Geerts and Boisrame were the only riders that were consistent through two motos.

Woops overslept a little, really cool to see Jago get another podium in EMX250.

Bummed for no Gajser. Should still be awesome racing today Woohoo

It was just a matter of time before Gajser would start actually missing rounds because of his crashes... He has had some really nasty ones the last couple of years but somehow survived without any major injuries and won two world titles.

I would say that he is out of this title hunt, what are your thoughts?

Geerts is awesome, really excited to see what he can do in MX2 next year. I think he is up there with Prado in terms of future stars.

Depends on how long he's out and how he bounces back. If it goes similar as Herlings early in the season or Febvre last year then I say his title hopes are gone, but if he misses just this round and fires back the next then there is still a (very) slight chance. Obviously he'll need a lot of luck then.

Yeah it's an amazing classic motocross track. Perfect for the spectators, a bit like an amphitheater.

Pretty cool to see Hunter Lawrence near the front more lately. His podium last week sure helped his confidence allot. Jonass pulling away in the lead now over Seewer!

Paturel man on the move in this moto. He is pretty much on the back of Seewer now after he had a small crash.

Looks like Lawrence indeed has bike problems, what a bummer he was riding great in 3rd.

Good race, except for the Nagl runaway. Herlings seems to start his charge a little too late. Without that rear washing out he would have gotten Desalle too I think.

I think Olsen could win the moto if he gets a better start!

Sucked for Lawrence that his shifter got destroyed in moto 1. He's been showing some serious speed last few rounds.

Here we go Paturel leading for his homecrowd!
