MUD
FIGHT
RIDER: TIM GAJSER
The FIM Motocross World
Championship MXGP of
Indonesia was from all
accounts, an absolute bogger.
This photo was taken during
free practice, the first track
session of the weekend, and
things only got worse!
Torrential rain soaked the
low-grade track so officials
cancelled qualifying and gave
riders gate pick based off their
practice times. MX2 Race 2 was
cut short and MXGP Race 2 was
cancelled all together.
Defending MXGP Champion, Tim
Gajser, had to accpet his
seventh place finish in Race 1
as officials used that to
determine overall placing while
MX2 riders were credited for
where they were at when Race
2 was Red Flagged. It’s called
the wet season for a reason.

very muddy but with
all the rain they’re
having I am not
surprised!” Tim Gasjer
