Track ziet er nice uit!

[Daniel Lamb]

Very true about the track. A2 looks like the best track of the year so far. I'm hoping the lap times are closer to 1 min than they have been the last few weeks.

Here the RacerX arrow doing a lap around A2.

Tis te hopen dat Rockzie eens enen wint, we moeten zeggen dat z'n prestaties in stijgende lijn zijn. Dus who knows??

[Daniel Lamb]

Bruno,

I think Roczen is taking it easy right now. I think he realizes he has to be more patient and get the feel of SX. Once that happens I think Kenny will be untouchable. Next year I think is when we will see Kenny dominate AMA SX and AMA outdoors. He's that good in my humble opinion.

De eerste sectie na de start is het mogelijk om hem uit te quaten. Hopelijk is het in het echt iets moeilijker zodat alleen de echte toppers dit kunnen.

[Michael De Kerk]

Roczen is er op een training serieus afgegaan dus kijken wat het word..

zn bericht op twitter:gonna be a hard weekend. just hit my heal again, front wheel washedout before a jump, tried to save it and landed on my heal. soooo bad pain

[Dave Coekaerts]

Rattray ook out! Op de press day gevallen en moto in zijne rug gekrege. Rijd morge dus ni mee..

[Guy Dick]

@daniel: Roczen is a guy that couldn't match other guys in the sand a few years back. This year he won the heaviest sand GP's... when he's focussed on something and it doesn't work out as he wants it too, he practices twice as much...
Believe it or not, 2 years ago there was only one man on the old forum that believed in his skills, everybody else said it was only a hype created by his mother!

[Jan Janssens]

@guy dick Bomen groeien niet tot in de hemel . Ik zie hem zelfs niet aan de start van het WK komen als hij zo ongeduldig blijft voort doen zoals hij bezig is .

Injury List

Jimmy Albertson – Knee
Comment: Albertson crashed on the third lap of his second qualifying session and caught his leg under the bike. It was initially thought that he broke his leg, but X Rays showed no broken bones.

Michael Byrne – Wrist
Comment: The new BTOSports.com/BBMX Suzuki pilot suffered a Lunate dislocation of his right wrist at the Bercy SX back in November, which required surgery. He was released by the doctor last week and started riding on Monday. His team manager told us to look for him to return at the opening East Coast round in Houston.

Christian Craig – Knee
Comment: Tore the patella tendon from the bone and is having surgery to reattach. He is expected to be back on the bike in six to eight weeks.

Matt Goerke – Ankle
Comment: The TiLube rider injured his ankle while preparing for Anaheim 1. Goerke's doctor said it should be a speedy recovery.

Josh Grant - Knee
Comment: Josh underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair the damage he sustained at Phoenix and preliminary reports are that he'll return to racing in a few weeks.

Wil Hahn – Back
Comment: Hahn during the first practice session at Anaheim 1 and landed on his back. Hahn suffered a compression fracture of his T-5 vertebra. It’ll be a few months before Hahn can resume his training routine. He hopes to be back to racing when the West Region Lites Series resumes from a break in April.

Jake Moss – Shoulder
Comment: Initial reports are that Moss suffered a shoulder injury after crashing at the Dortmund SX earlier this month. He was originally scheduled to fill in for the injured Jake Weimer on the Monster Energy Kawasaki team.

Marvin Musquin - Knee
The 2009 and 2010 MX2 Champion was slated to make his SX debut this season, but a torn ACL suffered at the Bercy SX ended those hopes. He will be back for the AMA Motocross Championship this summer.

Tyla Rattray - Wrist
Tyla hurt his wrist testing at the Kawasaki track the Tuesday after Anaheim 1. He is still making it to the races, riding with a wrist brace, but has been unable to practice much during the week.

Jake Weimer – Arm
Comment: Suffered a broken arm prior to Anaheim 1. He is expected to return later this season.

@ Guy Dick..dat is ondertussen al meer dan 2 jaar geleden en dat was een zekere Plons..die zag hem toen al aan het werk,en buiten mooie foto's nemen had die ook een heel goed oog voor talent.
hij kreeg vaak kritiek maar hij had wel dikwijls gelijk..

[Guy Dick]

I know, ik had het er met hem nog over 2 maand geleden

De lijst met geblesseerden is ondertussen al langer als deze na een GP of 3

[Koen Daems]

Zo te zien hebben ze het zand niet tot aan het begin van de whoops gelegd. Dus zal het toch makkelijker zijn om de whoops in te gaan.
