To say it has been an exciting season would be an understatement. With Antonio Cairoli and Christophe Pourcel starting to look like they are going to get back into their battle of 2006 when the fought for the FIM World MX2 Championship.

[font=arial,sans-serif][size=2]That 2006 FIM World MX2 Championship started in a similar fashion as the 2012 season for Christophe Pourcel, as he struggled with consistency and finished the opening Grand Prix of the season with just 7-4 results and didn’t win his first Grand Prix until round four in Germany when he went 1-1. From that moment on, it was catch up for Cairoli as the Frenchman did just enough to clinch the title in his home Grand Prix in Ernee.[/size][/font]
[font=arial,sans-serif][size=2]Of course in 2012 it’s Cairoli who has taken the series points lead early and the little Italian is showing good form until now, maybe not as strong as expected, but he still has a handy point’s lead going into the French Grand Prix in a little over a weeks’ time.[/size][/font]
[font=arial,sans-serif][size=2]In the MX2 class Jeffrey Herlings has been the rider with the red-plate, although he is getting serious pressure from British rider Tommy Searle. For Herlings to become the first Dutch rider to win a World Motocross Championship since Pedro Tragter in 1993 (a year before Herlings was born) he will need to control his nerves and pushed Searle to the limit on more than the odd occasion.[/size][/font]
[font=arial,sans-serif][size=2]In Herlings favor is the fact he looks the most consistent rider to date, but Searle has a way of putting pressure on riders, as he had done to Tyla Rattray in the 2008 World MX Championship.[/size][/font]

The biggest surprise to me is CP's speed

I figured he was done

I've been trying to find the races. Where do you guys go to watch the races?

I'd like to know where I can watch the races on tv here, I'd love to watch them getting ready to lose MXoN again.

where can you watch these here in the states

Last year I believe they replayed the webcasts on Vs. Network several weeks after the race.  That channel is now NBCSN (same channel for the Nationals' 2nd motos), and I'll have to see if they're doing it again this year.

Looks like Bandsports has coverage in US

What do you think about the mexican GP ?

Dead bodies lying next to the street on the way to the track, cars were broken and stuff stolen, all the works bike were locked into a steel container overnight.
The track was in a condition that the ridesrs refused to start in practice etc etc.......

I don´t think that it is a good idea to hold races in countries like this just to call it a "World Championship ", especially in a time when almost all teams are on a tight budget !
