1. Jeffrey Herlings (NED, KTM) - Dude was untouchable in the sand. Came across a bit prickish in the interviews, but then hey, when you're fastest lap time is almost 3 seconds quicker than the second place guy I guess you can be. Getting it done.
2. Joel Roelants (BEL, Kawasaki) - Came from behind to over take Tommy for second place in the second moto and overall. Dude will soon learn his place as the #2 rider on the team. Sit the fuck down!
3. Tommy Searle (GBR, Kawasaki) - Leg end! Just chilled the fuck out and let Herlings think he's the new Roczen (he's not). Just wait till we hit the harder pack tracks over the coming months.
4. Jeremy van Horebeek (BEL, KTM) - I getting a feeling we'll be seeing a lot of 4ths from Van der beek this year.
5. Jordi Tixier (FRA, KTM) - With Paulin up to MX1 Tixier seems to be France's #1 deux fiddy guy. Plus he has Stefan Everts for guidance, a casual 5th is a good way to start the season.
6. Jake Nicholls (GBR, KTM) - My boy Nicholls didn't let me down. Holeshots the first moto and finishes 5th, follows that up with a 9th in the second moto and all after a pretty harsh crash earlier in the weekend. Solid(ude) and don't you forget it!
7. Max Anstie (GBR, Honda) - Max had an up and down weekend, second moto was a lot better than the first. He was one of the few guys in MX2 still doing the triple late in the 2nd moto. He's not fuckin' sacred.
8. Dylan Ferrandis (FRA, Kawasaki) - Not really mentioned in the TV broadcast but another fast French teenager. Great, just what we need.
9. Valentin Teillet (FRA, Kawasaki) - Riding with a strapped up shoulder and still makes the top 10. Baller!
10. Mel Pocock (GBR, Yamaha) - Mel wasn't even supposed to ride the GP's this year and stepped in to replace the injured pair of Osborne and Tonus and what a fuckin' ride. Just look at that picture! Bosses it up in the first with a 8th and then a 12th in the second to make 40% of the top 10 overall (oh year I can do math), all from the land of the Union Jack. Yeyah! Cos that's how we roll......now lets have a cuppa, bitches.
