Pichon is fastest in qualifying

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Some gp or should i say MX1 and MX2 info-Pichon on his return posts the fastest time on his 4 stroke.It was almost a second faster than Everts.See www.mxlarge.com for the whole story, also some fast kid in the smaller class is 4 seconds a lap faster than 2nd place-interesting to see if the qualifying times really add up to anything in the racing.

Hey Marcus is anyone riding 2 strokes in the mx2 class?


Posted by: bclapham---------------------

townley is riding the ktm250F and it looks like this season its fast.

damn, cheater bikes.


Posted by: marcusgunby---------------------

Hardly any 2 strokes at all now-i think 2 KX250s in the big class and all the 125s are KTMs(4 of them?)

A fast KTM? Imagine that. Sooner or later were going to have to buy a four stroke. Maybe I will retire before that happens.

i didnt know ktm made a 250f mx bike.

Yes....welcome to the World 4 Stroke Championships......big straights.....jumps.... yep one every so often....and now we dont have 250's or 125 or 500's we have MX1 and MX2.

Everyone in Euro land should be happy......maybe. But the GP's have lost too much ground now with stupid promoters (Dorna and I have My doubts about Drongo Luongo), stupid leadership (read FIM)...and **** road race circuits that favour valve bouncing...and where did the crowds go???

Unfortunately I think this MX1 and MX2 is destined to be whats it has become.......... a feeder class to America.

Lonewolf its a factory bike-been in development for 3 years now-last season they gave up on it as it was unreliable.


Posted by: marcusgunby---------------------

BTW crazy results for the 1st mx1 and mx2 format-Pichon Smets and Everts all out the top 3 for the overall.

Crazy results just like the last supercross race. Larocco wins. nice to see someone like mike get a win.

Yes, crazy race but at least it is still belgian. The youngsters are there to take over.
The track was unbelievable heavy due to rain prior to the event. Bad weather here for last weekend.
I am looking forward to a very exiting year. Next weekend is, I think, Portugal GP.
BTW the race is back over two heats. Both heats Suzukies had holestart. Not bad for a new motor.
