Its time for the GP guys to step up and making a end of those slow wildcard riders. Jeeez this is just dangerous and far from a professional look.

When youre slower then 10 seconds a lap then the fastest guy out there , you not belong behind that gate on sunday.

China that will be more of the same

I don't think there are any Youthstream "fanbois" here.

What you will find, are blokes that are fans of the World Championships, and it's Riders and Teams. Among, of course, the usual tossers that want to slag the GPs, no matter what.

The same fans of the GPs, would tell you that it Is Utterly Stupid, to have an EMX series, that is Privateer based, nearly right at the end of the GPs, and, in a relatively difficult, and expensive place to get to. It's a guarrantee you'll have absolutely bugger all riders attending.

As for Turkey, for those that are coming out with crap about camel racing, it's an amazing place, one of the cradles of civilization, that has been a bulwark against a lot of the lunacy coming from South and East of it. It's a damned shame what Erdogan is doing to it, moving it from a secular , democratic country, further towards the sort of shit that is South, and East of Turkey.

i agree with your point but i still assume there are people who crave to perform vacuum massage on some private parts of current MXGP promoter.

I can hear the screeching whenever i mention my strong libertarian beliefs that only EMX class to remain should be EMX125 and the MX2, MXGP should be open up for quali (just like in USA). That wouldn't change the final standings of the World Championship in the history to any degree so you can calm your Tonys (and Jeffreys).

The plus side of the EMX250 is that it's not so expensive to run because there are less rounds. That's why it's such a great class. I get it you want a full starting gate in MX2 but that's not what would happen because they wouldn't be able to afford to do all the races and it would result in riders on the couch or just racing their national championships.

It's EMX 2T, not EMX250. A completely different class. I would have thought a Finn would know the difference.

Soo the first two riders in the EMX2T European championship dropped the rest of the pack (in a field of six) by two laps. Sparse turnout, I'd say. This does not diminish from the fact that Mike Kras worked hard all season long to claim the title by a single point. Congrats, bud.

Roan Van de Moosdijk has certainly made a sensational into motocross GP ranks. Fifth in the first heat in Turkey proves that he's a worthy European champion, and will be a man to watch in 2020.

Brad Anderson has such a weird style
Yes, it reminds me of a lot of the top 70s / 80s eras MXers.

But, it's bloody fast, and, effective. He was, I think, Brit 450 champ only a few seasons ago, so, he's fast as f**k, by any standards. So far, I've missed the last EMX 2T race, but, congrats to Mike Kras. He, and Brad, have long been the main players in the 300, and now 250 2T field.

Not sure if EMX 2T is back next year. I think 2ts are still allowed in the EMX250 class, and hope that 250+cc 2Ts will be allowed in the coming EMX Open class. Then, the same rules should be put into MX2 and MXGP. Handicap classes should be done with, in this day and age.

Vlaanderen doesn’t seem too concerned about losing his spot on the MXDN team. He’s doing nothing to impress. Moosdijk however is looking good.

Roan Van de Moosdijk continues along the path of a spectacular motocross GP baptism with his first podium in the pocket. Also notable is a fin top ten result for Mattia Guadagnini on debut, straight off the 125. 2020 is shaping up to be real interesting.

Other than putting in the second fastest lap of the race, just behind Prado.... he just can't make a pass on this track unfortunately

as for the spot, certain rumours suggest that it has been RVDM's to lose all along

One would have to be really, really, REALLY contrarian to bet against the Netherlands it this year's Motocross of Nations.
