Clueless: Latvia, All Three of Them

Having recently spent 11 days driving the 50km between Riga and the Kegums motocross track in Latvia, I figured I’d put some pen to paper (metaphorically) and write down some thoughts about the restarting of the MXGP season and the new calendar that has just been released. It’s been so long since I wrote one of these things that I am struggling to remember how to be funny, so please cut me some slack (Just kidding, I’m hilarious).

Jeffrey Herlings went 4-4-3-3-4-1 and still extended his lead in the championship
It’s almost like he’s trying to win the championship by winning the fewest races
Latvian traffic police now take cards, as well as cash
GasGas won an MXGP. No seriously.
I’ve never seen a rider as tall as Jasikonis need starting blocks
The guy who was awarded the second MXGP of Kegums holeshot plaque is awesome
Glenn Coldenhoff and Jeremy Seewer are made from adamantium
But both came close to breaking their massive uninjured streak
Speaking of streaks… Tanel Leok completed his 500th race, but unfortunately his MXoN streak has been broken
Cool to see Gajser fans drive all the way from Slovenia to see him race
And while AJ fans didn’t need to come as far, they made a LOT of noise
Going to a one-day format means everyone still arrives for the standard two-day format, but just sits around a lot more
It does make timed qualification a lot more exciting though
No one likes an “electrical issue”
Can we have two gate drops for MX2… one for Vialle vs Geerts, and then one for the rest
Watching three races in a week for SLC was amazing. Working three races in a week is a lot tougher
COVID tests are not fun
How silly do the people who keep writing Cairoli off look
Finally we have an MXGP calendar that might actually happen
