Ya i ll say. Not what i think of with a GP. Track is concrete and crowd is rather sparse, still i'm enjoying them on CBS HD this year.

U.S. Riders would have a shitfit if the tracks were that rough.

The downhill with whoop size braking bumps at the bottom would land a fella on his head in short order.

Crashing on that track would be like landing on cement. Crazy rough.

It would be amazing to see RV take on the mxgp series for the challenge.

I'm not a fan of the track but it is damn nice to see some outdoor racing and glad I can see these gp guys in the states. Just set my DVR to record all new episodes of these. Can't wait to see the deeper tracks .

That track was awesome, looked just like Saddleback or Carlsbad to me- same dirt and elevation changes.

fellas if you buy it from mx-life they archive it straight away so you can watch it whenever you want (if you're running into cable problems)

that track was horrible and I mean that in a good way.. rock hard with ruts, suuuper technical!!
the second 250 moto ruled as well as the 2nd 450 which was intense

Also none hotter than the spanish monster girls

Someone wasn't keen on the track Smile

That Spanish GP track looked like a real dump



I thought the track was great. Horrible to ride I'm sure but thats sort of the whole point isn't it?

J Van Hoorbeek v. good ride(again) and what a nice guy! Came across great in his post GP interview.

If Coldenhof is fit for the MXdN, how strong will the Dutch be! Favourites?

a track that's hard to ride and even harder to race is motocross to me..

van hoerbeek is belgian!

de reuver rode really well at valkenswaard so could still pull a result out of the bag at kegums with it being a sandy based track

herlings and coldenhoff both very strong riders though! and davey pootjes is looking like he will be a top rider in the near future

i thought the track looked great! thats why the gps are so good to watch - you go to valkenswaard one week on a rough sand track then the next week a bluegroove hardpack track with nasty square edge bumps- much more variety than the ama tracks!

maybe thats why the americans have struggled the last couple of mx des nations? getting too used to perfectly groomed flat out non technical tracks!

Talavera is a proper motocross track- old school!

This....most of the national tracks look like outdoor supercross anymore. I hope to catch a few more of the GPs, it was actually more fun to watch than our series.

Hmm, embarassing! Blush

Anyway like I said, how strong will those Belgians be? Whistling

haha -he does live very close to the border! agree 100% about him being a nice guy though- he's riding great this year, cant be too long before he gets a win.

couple of years time if davey pootjes lives up to his potential (i think he will be a top 5 gp rider in his first year when he moves up and go on to win the world champs ) and holland will have 3 very strong riders!!! (pootjes, herlings, coldenhoff)

at the minute their best hope is de reuver (for 3rd team member) or mike krass. De reuver still goes well in the sand on his day - top 10 in valkenswaard. Not beyond the realms of possibility that he would be able to get a top 10 at kegums!

Iroinically the next round is at Matterly Basin which is probably the closest thing we have to a typical AMA circuit.

Second race MX2 was epic. The fight for 2nd to 6th was great in had surprises until the very end. The best racing I've seen in a long time.

I love watching these races. The tracks are definitely much different than here in the states. It's no wonder we've been getting our butts handed to us at the MXDN. These guys are absolutely better riders on these rough tracks. That being said, bring them over here on one of our tracks it'd be a different story.

What fool decided to shedule Matterly Basin on the same weekend as the British round of the World Superbikes at Donnington Park. That's going to hit both events, I think. Sad
