If you really believe that there is some huge conspiracy and JH and KTM are lairs then you've got other issues and I question whether you will believe it when you see it.
I think there's a huge conspiracy?

In almost all of your replies it's like, 'have you ever broken your femur? No, than shut up. I did, so I'm the only 1 who can judge about it...'

Every individual is different man. Herlings did two 40 minute sessions yesterday and all went good. The treatment and operation he got is very different than a 'normal' person would get, so just can't compare.
Herlings is on his way to Mexico right now and will and probably do good. Stop making your point based on what YOU experienced ages ago.
Well...have you? If not, then SHUTUP, your opinions about broken femurs mean nothing.

I don't have an opinion about broken femurs, wanker!
I just see that he has been riding this week, yesterday even 2 sessions of 40 minutes, so it IS possible te ride after 7 weeks. You said it was impossible, but are to proud to admit that you were wrong...

"when the doc cleared me to start jogging again...I wanted to cry after just 5 minutes, it hurt so bad.
And that was at 12 weeks post op"

So you started crying when jogging 12 weeks after op, he's doing 40 minutes training sessions after 7 weeks, LMFAO

The video I saw of Herlings yesterday you could see he was definitely favoring his leg as he was actually standing straight up and putting most his pressure on his good leg. there was only one section where he was really on the gas and that was a very smooth section. My only thought was after watching it was that this is going to be interesting. I hope all goes well and he doesn't re-injure himself, he is way off of 100% that's for sure. A dis-placed femur break is no joke.

Please show any year in any class when an AMA rider had a 4-5 race lead in the points. Outdoors, I mean, but I bet even in the McGrath domination in SX he didnt have a 5 race lead on 2nd place.

RC won by almost 150 points without riding last round. I think he clinched after round 7 or 8 out of 12. Stewart did the same in 2008. And I can`t find point`s with RC perfect seasons I bet they were even more impressive.
Dungey won by almost 150 points in 2010, and 130 in 2012.
Just to remind you GP season is much longer than AMA. Herlings got hurt after round 13 that means AMA season would have been long over.
Thing about a big points lead is: Just as much or more than a dominant rider, it depends if the #2 rider is also dominant. If places 2 through 5 are competitive with each other, then they are effectively splitting up points & widening the point gap between 1st & 2nd. McGrath as dominant as he was, Emig was also dominant in the #2 spot - so he still got allot of points. If Emig was always in a fight & sometimes finishing 3rd, 4th or 5th, McGrath would have won by larger amounts.

I haven't been following the GP's. But, my thought is Tixier probably has not consistently finished 2nd, he has probably been battling for 2nd & has some 3rds, 4ths & 5ths in there. That combined with Herlings finishes, is where the big points lead comes from.

A huge point lead doesn't necessarily mean a lack of depth, in can mean just the opposite.

Oh hey smartguy
I dont want to know the amount of medicine in his body.
I needed about 7weeks to heal an effin collarbone... Not bc of the pain but the risk to damage it for life (my sister broke her arm then started doing sports too soon, she wont be able to move it for all her life).

I have 3 friends who're in the Red Bull athlete thing. They've had injuries and operations that healed way quicker than we could ever hope for, the treatment for Red Bull sponsored people is pretty special.

Something else to keep in mind is that people like Herlings aren't normal. Their minds work differently (wired up wrong is probably the best description), they put things aside that would stop normal people. I'm not saying they think they're invincible but there is absolutely a part of them that says 'it won't happen to me' - if they didn't have that they'd never do what they do.

If he's allowed on the bike he'll be racing; I'd like to think he'll do just enough to keep the points lead but I doubt he'll be able to control himself. Whether he can ride for 35 minutes at the pace he needs to, we'll have to wait and see.

Yep ofcourse but in my eyes you cant fix a straight broken femur properly enough to ride with it...
We will See. Id be pissed if it turns out to be a big mistake on herlings' part

Question: How many of you would try to race with a broken leg for a million bucks?

Just curious...

Not sure about JH's particular contract, of course but, typically, world championship bonuses are much lower than that.

Like 4 or 5 times less.

MX2, closer to €150k (approx. $200k) but, again, JH being a multi-time champ', maybe his deal is different.

But nowhere close from your typical $1 to 1.5 mil for AMA title, i'd say.

Yer an idiot. I had a horrible femur break. it wasn't clean. It was literally shattered from vertical overloading.

I couldn't even put walking weight on it for 4-5 weeks, and was in a wheelchair and walker during that period due to broken arm, separated shoulder, cracked sternum, punctured lung, major concussion.

The fact you make fun of broken femurs shows your utter ignorance and lack of sense.

Don't forget how much rougher a race track is going to be instead of the butter smooth track that video was on.

A simple push by another rider could end it all.

I read $1 mil in a couple of places, If it was only $200K it wouldn't be worth the risk.

If, in fact it really is that low to win a world title, is it any wonder that GP racers are coming to the USA?

You bassicaly you're comparing your 'horrible femur break' with JH's clean break, That is what this useless dicussing is all about, you can't compare these injuries. SO STOP TRYING!

motocross is a fucking hard sport. I don't think you can do it with a broken leg.

I think he can do it. I broke a femur in '77, it didn't heal right, they cut the bones apart in '78, stretched the leg back out over 3 weeks time, inserted a rod and I walked out of the hospital. With the exception of a bone infection, I was good to go after 8 weeks if my memory is about right. I was able to run on it for sure. My hip and knee were my only problem, and that was pain but not really injury that needed rest. Being able to jog isn't racing a GP for sure, but I think Herlings can do it, he just has to be REALLY smart about the chances he takes.
