Just walked around and the track is good. It will stay dry for the entire weekend so up for some good racing! The upgraded turn looks great. They also removed the step-up after the start for a single jump
I don’t necessarily have a problem with the updated turn, just the fact you can’t get anywhere near the track. But maybe that is to do with the weather more than anything

Yeah those banners are shit for the public. Good luck to fellow vital member Lars van Berkel! Should be a great race if he gets some starts

Just a practice, but Herlings 3.6 sec a lap faster. That`s a lot.

Don’t think many people were really pushing it in that session. Cairoli and Prado way down, Gajser only did 2 decent laps and he crashed on one of them. I expect the timed session to be a bit closer

Track layout has changed a bit this year, and not in a good way imo. Seems shorter as it already is and even less corners on an already straightlined track.

Here is a remake of a photo comment I made at the time. I can't find the original right now.

Its great. Some heavy spots but will be better when they work on it during the breaks. Everts had 7th time in his group. Some great talents in EMX250 with Guyon, Talviku, Fachetti etc...

Facchetti looks great out there. Looks like he’s grown a bit and he looks very comfortable. Good to see

A little bit sloppy in some places but perfectly rideable. They're working on it right now. MX2 time practice in 5 minutes.

Was really interested in this EMX250 race. Wanted to see how De Wolf , Liam and Guadagnini would all do.

WZ KTM really has their stuff together.
Last year with Längenfelder. Now Boegh Damm and Florian surprisingly good so far

Stunning ride from Bogh Damm, he was absolutely gone. De Wolf and Everts also very impressive

Indeed - there are a number of Danish emerging talents bubbling up.

Everts clearly stepped up his game.His best lap was faster than de Wolfs.Cool
