Yeah ofcourse the pass was inevitable. 1-2 that's not how his brain works. But still cool to see.

Okay God, it was fun this beta test but could you nerf dutch in next patch?

I mean RvdM scoring podium in Turkey starts to worry me a bit.

Thanks.

What Marc De Reuver has done with the riders at F&H Kawasaki is really impressive.

RvdM set his fastest laptime in last lap, while he is used to ride 25min +2

I've noticed that aswell as Paulin, Renaux and Vialle had stickers of the FFM on their helmets. Vialle's stickers were smaller as those of Paulin and Renaux, though Laughing

Well, was it pathetic or even more than that? Only 6 riders in EMX twostroke showed up, what a complete shitshow :-) :-) :-)

Yes, but EMX2t is a hopeless class. Not only this last round, but since they "invented" it. Only the top 5-8 are regulars.

Also pretty lame to make your point about the entry list commenting on EMX2t when your initial post was about MXGP and MX2.

Well how many MX2 and MXGP riders were there in Turkey, from the 40 spots available? Only 27 in both classes including some very VERY slow locals who shouldn't even be racing there.

How many more times are you going to bring this up?

No, there weren't 40 riders at the gate
Yes, there were some very slow locals
No, it wasn't a great track
Yes, the crowds were scarce

As I (and others) mentioned before, there are a lot of injured riders this season and very slow locals are an issue since the 80s. What point are you trying to prove anyway? That you always have to be right?

Look, obviously I like GP's in Western Europe more than these flyaways just like everyone does. More atmosphere, great tracks, better riders and (almost) full starting gates. But these flyaways are GP's that won't disappear of the calendar because we (the audience) don't like the track / line up / lack of crowds. We'll have to live with it. The only people capable of making a difference are the teams and the riders, but I don't see that happening.

Putting these flyaways at the end of the season has zero benefits (championship is decided and smaller teams' budgets are completely spent), but they've been doing this for the past ten years, so I don't see them changing it.

And next weekend it will be even worse.

We can only live with it, or, like you, keep bitching about it.

I just don't understand how you can be positive about this shitshow. And no it wasn't like that back in the days like you say de Stouwer. Bring back the open qualification and pricemoney. Then you get the fastest riders on the gate.

I've never even said I'm positive about these kind of races. Look, you obviously: didn't read my post / totally missed the point / are making whatever you want to read of it. I'll end the discussion here.

"slow locals are an issue since the 80's" that's what you wrote, isn't it? That 's just BS
