Ha well the plates are so small in this pic Yes its Herlings, but Simo did it first

Poor shot of Cedric Soubeyrs, boyfriend to ex female GP rider Megan Lewis. Cedric was the soul 2 stroke rider in the MX1 class and it was visable that he was giving horsepower away up the hills and off the start. At this level of compettion only the best bikes stand a chance.

Xavier Boog looked to be a threat to Cairoli setting outstanding lap times in qualification.

Not entirely sure if this was a planned demo or just the hooligans from the festive part of the campsite

One for Nic Noc her favourite rider Mr Coppins. Josh managed 5th fastest in timed practice....

The further hill from the start provided plenty of action.... From Russia with love, Aleksandr Tonkov aboard his Suzuki


Expected more from Frossard at his home GP


Poor Mel Pocock got it a bit wrong, the top of the hill had practacally a vertical take off then the landing area had a whoop to clear, several riders found that landing before the whoop sent them off in a variety of directions, Mel included.


French wild card entry Loic Larrieu had bags of style, look out for this name.

Some riders opted to almost roll this section by going up the inside while others like Rudi Moroni (I/90) took the (red) bull by the horns

Speaking of energy drinks, I heard a strong rumor that next years series major sponser wont be Red Bull.... they've been outbid!!!!

Guess who

It was dissapointing not to have any MX1 riders in the fray, well there at all would be more accurate, someone should give Brad and Scott a shot to keep the interest going i

None the less the MX2 class had a fair contingent of Brits, heres a couple Simpson and Pocock

Monster Energy
Charlier

Kullas

Our very own, Shaun Simpson

Now I know you just wouldnt think the same of me if I didnt come back with a few pics of the local pit chicks so heres one to keep ya going

This section was only a couple deep, British tracks could learn a lot from the access that spectators had here... a good percentage of the track had trackside spectating where you where only a few feet from the action unlike a lot of our tracks.... so dont tell me its insurance, they can do it why cant we???

Philippaerts did a good job of stopping Cairoli's dominance...

The sun was a little warm, some had more to hide than others....

More of the locals.... typical atire....

I know you were aiming for the "French onion seller" wearing the beret Ady....but what about the fella behind us..."Oooooh, what a gay day!"

Stop watches out

Herlings ahead of Musquin

Couple more I liked.... Shaun Simpson



and Charlier(sp)

How the hell he stayed on I dont know...

One of my fav shots from the weekend, team KTM 1,2,3 Musquin, Simpson and Herlings with Everts in the background thinking what a team.

No 222

Cedric Sourbourgras(sp) lol the only 250 2 stroke in the GP
