| ANATOMY OF A START | 19.05.2013 |
|---|
As a confrontation of MX1 and MX2 the Superfinal at Beto Carrero was a dismal failure. With the gate choice now mixed, the 450s killed the 250s long before turn one; at the end of lap one there were just three 250s in the first 17 and the entire MX2 moto podium from earlier in the day was at the back of the field. "I think I could probably have won an MX2 race from there, I've done it before, but not with all those 450s in the way," reckoned Jeffrey Herlings after taking the overall, but losing his perfect moto season in class when he came home 14 seconds behind Jose Butron, the only 250 rider in the top dozen on lap one.

SURPRISE, SURPRISE
... rule change @ 31 hours notice | 18.05.2013 |
|---|
Just 31 hours before the world elite line up for the last Superfinal of 2013 officials sprang the latest shock move at the Saturday morning riders' meeting - gate choice at Beto Carrero will be by alternating class rather than giving the MX2 boys first choice - and a chance - as in Qatar and Thailand ! "Oh great," said MX2 world number three Glenn Coldenhoff, "the only advantage we have and they take that away too."

| LONG HAUL FOR JIMMY DECOTIS | 18.05.2013 |
|---|
Jimmy Decotis had a hectic week leading up to the Beto Carrero GP, finally arriving late Friday afternoon after being denied access to his envisaged flight from Munich on Tuesday: "I didn't know I needed a visa ... and neither did anyone in the team ... until I got to the airport. I had to fly back to Boston and spent two days at the Brazilian Embassy. I finally got the visa two days before the last flight which could get me here in time."

| HYVINKÄÄ | 15.05.2013 |
|---|
Real GP racing returns to Finland this summer for the first time since Andrea Bartolini clinched Yamaha's first four-stroke world title in 1999 and Grant Langston was the 125 king in Y2K, so it is with eager anticipation that the GP teams head to the Land of the Midnight Sun at the completion of the three week northern tour on the weekend of July 13/14. The venue is to be Hyvinkää, scene of many a GP classic in the early 1980s; the trees have been cleared, but U can get some idea of the fast sandy track in a helmet cam vid @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oo3g6dah3gI&list=UUcnmB4kT9xR8WM1cbnvbY_w&index=1
