Good to see Cairoli having a decent race !

I don't know, It still looks like he is not aggressive at all. In my opinion he has not looked the same since his last knee injury at this track in 2014 and it looks like the bike his pulling him around a lot. I wonder if he would do better on a 350 with his problems? His result was good but had he not gotten the holeshot he would not have moved up past 6th.

EMX 250 up soon! This should be a wild one. The rollers could take out some guys i expect unless they worked on them between races.

EMX250! Hopefully Sihvonen can get a good start for once after having a good qualifying. He usually does alot better in the motos so looking good!

Sanayeis other half of the race was pretty strong, i really didn't think he would get Sihvonen.

He sure was impressive. Looked to me like he made alot of small mistakes though, much like he did at Valkenswaard. He looks like the fastest guy in the class when he keeps it on two wheels.

I noticed that too, he kept pace with the leaders through the whole moto. Was surprised Sihvonen dropped the pace towards the end since he's usually stronger towards the end. Wonder if something happend to him or his bike when he made contact with Engelen at the begining, looked like a pretty hard hit.

No I did not. He was having a conversation with some team outside of their box, and my kids just happened to stand next to him. He turned around and I said let`s take a picture. He went on his way after that. It was in a morning, so they are pretty busy at that time, so I did not want to bother him.

Standouts.
Hunter Lawrence!!! What a ride.
Gajser and Febvre. I think those two will battle for a lead tomorrow.
Townley. Old man still got it. Got a little impatient and forced the issue, but speed is definitely there.
Herlings. Well, you know...

Lawrence is fast, he is making a few small errors though. I think part of it is adjusting to the tracks aswell as actually battling/racing with other riders his speed. Most of his career in australia, by the end of the first lap he would probably have a 5 second lead , so he rarely had to battle with riders. But in saying that I'm surprised at how fast he is passing riders.

And the kid is 16 years old right? Gonna be fun watching him and Prado go over to America in a couple of years.

Dankers and Elzinga got lapped in the 125 class? Did they crash?
Dankers is still really a kid.. I think he was on a 65 like 2 or 3 seasons ago. Loads of time. Think he wasn't old enough to ride at valkenswaard

There is nothing to write about him, he`s just very good. I think he is not as flashy as he used to be.

What is wrong with Kouwenberg? Is he riding injured?

The same could be said about Natzke, not even a top 20 guy.
