Trucks look a little different on that side of the pond... Juan Pablo
The fish bowl trailers, as they've come to be known, are trick but really go against the classic feel of the moto pits. Can't touch or feel much from these.

The IceOne Kawasaki team is one of the few factory teams worldwide that runs separate suspension programs across their two riders. With Mitch Evans on KYB and Romain Febvre on Showa. Juan Pablo

Red Bull KTM continues on with a traditional pit area and it's dialed. Juan Pablo

What a clean layout. Juan Pablo

Jeffrey Herlings returned to racing with very, very minimal time on the bike. Juan Pablo

Where Wilvo MXGP will land next year still seems to be a serious mystery. Juan Pablo

Honestly, Jeremy Seewer has the best helmets. It's interesting to see Seewer still running a Fox View goggle with his own personal sponsor on the goggle strap. Juan Pablo

Just a few more races... Juan Pablo

Glenn Coldenhoff rocking some new A-Stars gear we recenetly saw with Chase Sexton. Juan Pablo
Place holder
Glenn Coldenhoff is another rider who's future is still a bit up in the air. There's an option for him at Yamaha if the brand chooses to take it. If not, thinks could be looking a bit red. Juan Pablo

If so, it might come at the cost to this man, Brian Bogers. Juan Pablo

Fresh Scott goggles. Juan Pablo

Some of the best looking Thor gear we've seen in a while. Juan Pablo

Kind of wish the US pits were this dialed in. Juan Pablo

Are you a fan of the bigger pit boards? Juan Pablo

Adamo was another rider we saw running some new A-Stars colors, similar to what we've seen Jett Lawrence in recently. Juan Pablo
Place holder
While Adamo has carried the red plate for a while now, this past weekend in Finland was the first one-one moto scores for the young KTM rider. Juan Pablo
Place holder
Romain Febvre has five MXGP wins in a row, the highest streak Kawasaki has ever seen in the series. Juan Pablo
Place holder
Which makes it even crazier that he could possibly be off the team at year's end. Juan Pablo
Place holder
We don't know Spanish but we're going to guess it says "Keep on swimming". Juan Pablo

Could Alberto Forato be on Italy's MXoN squad? Also, another rumor. Revo to KTMs with Alberto Forato and more factory support? Listen into our MXGP podcast for the latest rumors. Juan Pablo

Has Calvin Vlaanderen inked a new deal for 2024? Sounds like he has something in the works as well. MXGP Silly Season is going to be great this year. Juan Pablo
Place holder
With Pauls Jonass set to return, we may have seen the last of Jeremy Van Horebeek's return from retirement...at least for now. Juan Pablo
Place holder
The size difference between Sasha and Simon is a bit comical in this photo. Also note the visor extender for Simon. Juan Pablo

Just a perfect sand berm shot from Jorge Prado. Juan Pablo

Between KTM, GasGas, and Husky...that's a lot of Austrian bikes out front and Red Bull helmets. Juan Pablo

If I were RedBull KTM, that last pic would be on every promo poster I could print. That's a great shot.

Yeah the pic isnt fake as a good training photo…getting use out of the starting device keeping the front down right to the dirt not wheelying, riding the rear fender for traction, crouched but looking ahead, holding on with your legs, riding on the balls of your feet but still keeping them neutral and loose not pushing yourself off the bike, outstretched arms but slightly bent with head over the bike, last couple fingers loose on the throttle grip, and Akrapovic exhaust hauling mail.

People talk about Valkenswaard compared to Southwick but a lot of people  disagree like the 250 winner this year Vialle and at least the finland topsoil looks like it and the way they rail the berms.  Other places are more choppy.  Not sure of the base soil what they’d say.
