Can't wait, should be a good season.

Think Febvre has mxgp covered and I think Herlings will win mx2 but I would love to see Ferrandis.... I want Kawasaki to beat the KTMs.

Just take a look at that list : that's all the riders who have been (or still are...) hurt during the off-season (MX1 and MX2).

Just amazing !

Febvre, Cairoli, Desalle, De Dycker, Karro, Charlier, Tixier, Van Doninck, Monticelli, Goncalves, Townley, Jonass, Lieber, Hsu, Covington.

Herlings hasn't won the championship since 2013, anything can happen.

I have a feeling only about 20% of American MX fans know there is a GP this weekend.

I hope I am wrong.

what about it?

Maybe non hard core fans, but everyone on here knows it's finally here.

I'm going with Nagl for the MXGP class. He started out really good last season i think he'll repeat that! Bobryshev & AC222 or Febvre will make up the rest of the podium i think. Wondering how Gajser will stack up in the 450s...

For MX2 it should be a Herlings show. Ferrandis should be close to his speed. Jonass learned allot last year he could be strong to. I'm rooting for young Dutch rider Pootjes to have a good season! He used to race against my brother in his 50 / 65cc days. Cool to root for kids who family members raced with Cool

I was there in Lommel and it was absolutely surreal to see Paulin and Simpson flying over that quad.

Is she that good? Is she gonna waste the field like JH84 does in the sand?

She will kill them. Laptimes will be interesting, if any woman is going to run with the guys shes it.

Definitely makes it interesting. If she lined up with the MX2 guys, who'd you reckon she'd beat?

We heard similar thoughts before Villopoto moved to MXGP, but it turned out differently. Duncan doesn't even know her opponents names, she is all focused on herself (similar to Villopoto before MXGP). I think she could be shocked. Go Livia Smile

I was actually wrong before, seems like Leok got backing from MVR-D Husqvarva for Qatar. Pumped!
