randis recovered from his crash
to snatch third place behind
Lieber. World Champion Tixier
was subdued on his first outing
as a factory Kawasaki rider. He

Herlings in this type of mood and
eager to rectify his perceived
injustice of fortune from 2014
where his former teammate
snatched the crown by just four
points in the final moto of the
year.
Losail opened the injury list
for 2015 with Evgeny Bobryshev
(ankles), Tommy Searle (dislocat-
ed right thumb), Nathan Watson
(concussion), Damon Graulus
(concussion), Max Anstie (cut
toes) not to mention others with
marks of the desert soil. The
heat and humidity of Thailand for
round two and a new facility at
another road racing circuit Na-
khonchaisri, west of Bangkok,
means that MXGP won't roll off
the gas for a few more days just
yet. As AMA Supercross like to
siren: who's next? CN
