So the time has finally come! It's the big one guys! The MXGP of USA :)
The riders and teams and descended on WW Motocross Park just outside of Jacksonville, Florida for the 17th round of the FIM Motocross World Championship the MXGP of the USA! MXGP races are run quite differently to the AMA Pro Motocross series and they have a day previous in which they have free practice, timed practice and then a qualifying race.
There are some shocks below but i think some riders prefer to hold a little back for race day, whereas other riders like to stamp their authority on the race early on to intimidate the others. Herlings as always smashed down the best 450 times as fans were hoping to see a certain Eli Tomac respond.... The American though seemed timid and spent the day messing around with the setup of his bike, even swapping forks at one point! I hope he regains his composure and gets it all together for the race! Cairoli threatened to push Herlings at a few points but like Eli last weekend he has the championship to think about! If he lays it all out on the track and makes a mistake... it's over! All he has to do is get out there and finish, i would be surprised if he messes with Herlings too much this weekend with the number 1 spot on the line.
So how is the track looking? AMAZING haha but yes i am biased as always haha. Lets take a look with a goPro lap from Darian Sanayei :)
Now for the stats and the long wait to the main races! :)
