Geerts Yamaha destroyed Harrisons Kawi on the pit straight! It looked almost like a 450 passing a 250.

Yeah Sanayei is looking much better and it will be interesting to see what Harrison can do with this start. I like this track...of course I don't have to ride it haha.

It has to be frustrating for Sanayei, he has the speed but the illness makes it impossible for him to compete against the other riders.

Yes it will be tough for him to match his 1st moto result. Going backwards right now. Harrison back to 14th now too.

Way, way too much speed. They need to fucking slow down this track if it stays on the schedule.

Lol how do you slow down that section of the track? maybe they should take out that unnecessary tuff block.

Totally! He's dropped anchor now, 1:45-1:47 the last few laps

Shame it's his last year in MX2 to impress and get a decent ride with a view going back home in 2020.

Not much seperating the riders on this track. Everyone is pretty close. 15th position is only 20sec down from Gajser

I, don't.

It's just different challenge, that all riders have to deal with.
I like this track and I also think that :

- many people forgot how mx was during 50 years before the groom trend that started about 10 years ago, which created sometimes rutocross, both to absord more the crashes, but also to slow down racing by eating up horse powers, which may have been partly caused by the 4 stroke displacement rule as the 450 are a bit too much.

- the riders are not as used to ride this kind of tracks as they were, which may have been a factor this week end as we saw unfortunately some nasty crashes (and because that track has some sections that are bit too high speed probably, but nothing crazy either, all have fast sections and just the last 2 week ends pala and thunder valley also had some very fast sectors, and at thunder valley the2 fast parts are even more difficult because they are really rutty and bumpy). Basically it is a track that is prepared like in the past, little to no grooming, and water, which is how most tracks still look like in europe for practice after a bit of rain. And btw I even prefer sand (not deep one), i just like untouched/natural soils preferably with a bit of water.
