Cairoli wins the first moto. Second moto. 6 mins to go and Herlings was 9 sec behind Cairoli. It was most exiting race in 2018 what I was witnessed.

I’ve heard Tomac and his new teammate had a really hard battle at MEC?

You must have missed the "MX" in the title. There are 5 other threads that you can go and debate the MEC in, so scram Smile

Herlings is the FMOTY in MX but Tomac still the most beautiful to watch in my opinion (Yes i know, taste and colors...).

Sry, but I'm the Euro after all. JH back from collarbone injury in round 12. MXGP of Indonesia. All the people from the team told him, don't go for the win, please just don't. And here is the outcomeLaughing

I'm agree with you. If Eli is on. It's beautiful to watch, how one man can handle the motorcycle in rough conditions

Argentina moto 2 and Matterly Basin both motos.

Amazing racing from probably the two fastest outdoor riders right now. The commentating from Malin and Wheeler is also really good in the second moto in Argentina.

Herlings is also great to watch but he is more like a modern version of Joel Smets. Smets was great in rough conditions for sure. Powerful and strong riding works well in these conditions.

Since Herlings lost a bunch of weight, he has become lighter on the motorcycle. He has made good progress in that domain.

I like Eli's legs skills, how he squeeze the bike with his knees, how he ride tiptoes on the pegs, i like his elbows up helmet over the bar style, i like how he can locked his arms to have a better control of the bike.

Tight knees, tiptoes on the pegs, helmet over the bar, elbows up has always been the basis of a beautiful and effective style. Eli has all of that.

Ok, but from the near past. Tomac vs Roczen at MXON in Teutschenthal in 2013. Second moto. This one was exciting to watch
