Didn’t notice anything, but now when you said it maybe a bit, atleast at some spots.

Herlings is just bringing it home, but man it looks easy. I wouldn’t be bothered even if they just showed him riding around by himself for the whole moto.

i thought it was a bit wider with less jumps, certainly in the start to finish line area. less waves coming back up pit lane too. They put length in but not lap time, it will be rough and slower tomorrow i think.

Maybe. I just hope they will change the layout for next year. People don't wanna sit on the stands along side the start, and then look 100+meters across to follow the race. Cuz that's what's gonna happen if they keep this layout and double the amount of visitors...

A-rod helping TKO out after the crash. Much respect.

Jett Lawrence going for the win in EMX250 again. That kid is unbelievable.
Is Jett considered a pro at the moment? How does he go from racing emx to racing amateur in the states?

Pretty sure he’s only recognised as a pro if he raced in Mx2. Because he’s in emx, he can race amateur in the states next year.

Emx125

A win for Kjell Verbruggen, pretty impressive, as he was last Year on a 85.
Dutch kids are fast on a sand track.

Also Jet Lawrence, first time I saw him riding, so easy and very smooth!

I reckon he should make his pro debut at Hangtown next year. Why waste a whole year in amateurs when you're riding this good and you would gain heaps more experience racing pro level than amateurs.

Malin's comment about Lisa picking Jett up and putting him in her pocket was a crack up. "Heartthrob" too.....He might have earned a clip around the ear from her on that one.

Jett looks even smaller / scrawnier than Prado looked when he first got to EMX / GPs.

Just got done with the 2nd EMX125 moto, and man it was nice to see Matias Vesterinen pulling of that 4th, could have been a podium without a small mistake towards the end. Pumped to see finns showing up and kill it.

Jett is gonna be a big one in a few years. Maybe even better then Hunter if he keeps progressing this fast.
