AC222 is on his new horse(?) and Max I'd guess is doing the math ...
Just walked through the door from the Matterly MXGP (10 minutes away for me ) What a cracking days racing! Not got a clue what it looked like on TV but as a spectator it was really good, Max got lucky with the restart of the first moto but didnt show the speed I was expecting. The Womens race was a real eye opener ! I wasnt that fast when I was a youngster! well done girls a real good show
You lucky dog! Me and the Mrs. will be at the US round in September. Still, would love to see a GP race "over there".
And the only mention of RV is when they interview his replacement before the qualifier No other updates from him since 5 May?
JB, the videos looked like some high flight paths and high-speed straights... RV2 discovered a compression fracture also and he is not racing in the French race was the last I saw on him ... French racing is this weekend and then Italy racing is in 2 weeks after the French race...
Yes ray ray the fast parts are high speed and the big tripple has claimed a few victims in the past but strangly its been the people who double and single it that seem to fare worst, Would of been a good track for RV2 as it dosnt cut up real bad as has some fast sweeping turns. RV2 is not doing France but is listed as a entry for Italy but only time will tell if he is going to be fit enough to be any sort of threat, Real big shame hes out injured as he did the whole mxgp series the world of good due to the a lot of Americans watching and paying some interest in it. We get to ride a few H & H events at Matterley every year in the surrounding valleys and wooded area and its always one of the most enjoyable rides of the year with a good mix of everything thown in as there is some super grippy soil around the mx track area but some really slippery chalk the other side just to make life interesting.
