Awesome, just awesome! Chuffed for Arnaud, Seewer and the Swiss. They've put on a good show.

Cairoli set the fastest lap of the race on the last lap!

Yes, was suprised by that! I expected him to be faster an quick in the top 5. But men, if he wants to win or battle Cairoli he needs to start upfront on the hard packs.

yeah he is struggling , but a good start will help as its a tough track to pass ... Herlings his starts are crappy , always around 10.

I don't care what anyone says, that's a great motocross track.

Racing at it's best.
I'm here and I disagree. It's a spectacular track and it's exciting, but it is almost impossible to pass. What other tracks do you know that Lupino could keep Bobryshev, Coldenhoff, Herlings, Gajser, JvH, Strijbos and Jasikonis all behind him for 20 mins? The atmosphere and the Swiss riders doing well make it awesome to be here, but the track isn't great

actually Lupino had fast times, the track is great. The best guys can pass anyway

Just effffing wow, I feel sooooooo lucky to be an Mx fan this year, it's been a real treat.
Just hope Seewer and Tonus can pull that off again the next race, that would be just amazing!!

Almost impossible to pass? Did you see the first EMX300 moto?

Ease of passing isn't the key to great racing and isn't a factor if the riders are spread out.That many riders were on the same pace is the reason the racing was so close and therefore so good.

Yes, he had a better fastest lap than both Herlings and Gajser. At a track like this I think many riders can put in similar lap times which of course makes passing harder, but also makes for closer racing.

The difference in quality of riders in EMX300 is massive compared to MXGP. I'm not saying it wasn't exciting to watch, because it certainly was, but it is very, very difficult to pass. There were a lot of riders on the same pace, but everyone behind Lupino was being held up. You had the top 5, then a huge gap, then Lupino in 6th and a train back to 15th behind him. I'm not trying to take anything away from Lupino, but you were able to pass, there's no way Gajser and Herlings would have been so far off the lead

Here we go MX2 Moto 2. Would be great if Seewer gets the overal but i don't think he'll get it easy!

Seewer will find way to pass in the next 25mins I'm sure
