Mxgp trentino practice

in

....bed

Sweeeet

and here's the thing, I don't know whether the MX2 PRACTICE starts @ 1:10 am or the EMX classes

EMX classes run first on sunday.

I'm a dumb ass apparently. Someone explain the EMX to me please. Is it amateurs or what?

I don't think they are amatuers. Its a feeder series to MXGP. Think Arenacross vs Supercross.

I figured that was it, but I thought I'd check. Is their age requirement still 15 or is it lower?

I found a little info on EMX, it is feeder classes, a 125 (2stroke) class, 150f's & 250 f's

It's age restricted but not sure on exact ages.

Ok regarding EMX classes, copy & paste out of the rule book, some GP'S will have a 85 class & a 300 class

The 125 are 2 strokes, 150 is 4 strokes oddly enough, 250 is 4 strokes, 300 class is 2 strokes.

some of the classes have a maximum age limit of 50 years old in EMX.

The EMX 150 class is a 4 stroke Honda 150 class, who the hell wants to watch that.

That all Honda class is pretty bad ass. Kinda like an IROC type of thing if I remember right.

It is THEE class I really wish we had here! This is exactly what the nationals need here and for some reason we don't. Having a 125 feeder class on national day would be the best ever.

Shouldn`t there be live timing up for practices already? Anyone know if it`s delayed or something?

125cc group A now on the track wish they had live coverage of the 1st motos and qualifying races. they used to do that...

Any Brits awake? What group is dexter Douglas in.. I thought he was in the emx125 class but can't see him on the live timing .

I believe they have two groups. Perhaps he`s in group B.

Ahh I see. Cheers

heavy rain from 14.00 to 20.00
Not gonna be good

He`s in group B. Mewse too.

I love these EMX classes great talent comes from these classes
Herlings came in 2nd in the EMX250 behind Charlier before they went to the mx2 class.
Tixier dominated the emx125 class went straight to the mx2 world championship.
gaijser and jonas are emx125 champions...
and now from last years 125 class theres pootjes herbreteau ostlund and brian hsu in the emx250 I wonder how they do.
I wonder if herbreteau can ride in the emx250 because he took Jordi Tixiers spot in the Argentina Gp and he scored points in the past I believe there was a rule that You couldn't ride the emx class if you scored points in the world championship but I'm not sure about this.

and this josiah natzke he signed with redbull ktm for a 5 year period. starting in the junior team. same as Davy Pootjes
and Herlings also signed this 5 year deal after he became the 85cc world and european champion. would be cool to have some more media attention for these guys like in the us they got all those big amateur races where you heared their names a dozen of times before they go pro

Free Practice MXGP is on now.

Any pictures of track condition?? Looking at the first practice times and thinking most riders took it easy

I don't know how up you are with the guys over there (I'm not quite sure exactly who's who) but in the Junior World Championship/MXdN 125 class last year,guys like Alex Frye,John Ames and Tennant Challon came over racing against guys like Brian Hsu and David Herbreteau and Tomass Sileika,who are all running EMX250 this year-no age limit or pointing out in the class

Some teams run satelite riders there,it's an MX2 feeder series for most I guess,Herbreteau stood in for Tixier last time out at Argentina for example,if this helps
