Really cool night race w/out a spectator in sight....but, it was on CBS Sports last night. Huskys looked good in the MX2 class but in the MXGP class things were different. http://www.mxgp.com/results/standings View: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jibYFI_Sls
No worries. I was pretty pumped to find it on TV last night....since the weather was way too nasty to ride and all.
Best showing for Husky on the Pro level for.....who knows how long. A loooonnnng time. Todd Waters 10th in MXGP and will improve, that's pretty good AFAIC.... Febvre 3rd, Tonkov 5th in 250's. BOOM, Huskies right up front!
They were chellenging all moto long but nobody could keep pace with Herlings. This local kid did pretty well last night: http://results.americanmotorcyclist.com/Riders/23144-thomas-covington
BTW, CBS Sportsnet has the North America contract for the full season....next week Thailand! (On Sunday here) http://www.cbssportsnetwork.com/schedule/cbssn Type mxgp in the 'search by keyword' box or see http://www.mxgp-tv.com/
Alessio Chiodi He was the 1997 F.I.M. world champion in the 125cc class on a Yamaha. The following year he switched to the Husqvarna factory racing team and repeated as 125cc world champion. In 1999, Chiodi won his third consecutive 125cc world championship, also on a Husqvarna.[1] Chiodi moved to America in 2000 to compete in the AMA national championships without success. Afterwards, he returned to Europe to compete in the world championships before switching to the four-stroke world championships. Chiodi was a member of the winning Italian teams in the 1999 and 2002 Motocross des Nations.

somebody bring me up to speed i haven't payed much mind too the GPs since they started that MX 1/2/3 stuff what are thay gona call the new 300 2t class what this superfinal thing im lost
that is the best racing i've seen in a while . i thought the recent sx was cool but that blows it out the water .
Great results for these guys !! But, I don't see Rattray listed in the top 20 finishing results ...Whats the scoop on him .. -- Not to go off topic too much but Husky has riders ... Michael Leib riding for Husky finished 11th overall for the MX2 season just a couple yrs back with the feeble backing bmw provided ... -- Lewis Stewart -- Husqvarna rider in Indonesia -- 2013 Indonesian Intentional Motocross Champion. Kopiko really helped the victims of super typhoon Yolanda that hit the Philippines, or else Lewis might have been here doing the opening race last week ... He's defending his title now on a 2014 (?) Husky I do believe ... I'll make contract with him again and see what is happening ... He did tell me that the Husky he rode last yr to the championship was very tricked out by someone from Italy...
Rattray is out for a few weeks due to finger injury. I'm hoping he comes back and makes some noise up front in the big bike class.
Thats too true ... -- Ronnie Lot cut off part of a finger so he could play in a Super Bowl ... (He also made All-Pro at 4 different secondary positions)
