It's amazing how quickly Herlings has his feet back on the pegs when railing a corner. While other riders still have a leg extended, JH has his boot back on the peg, allowing him to accelerate sooner and with greater authority. There's likely some degree of natural "balance" in the execution, but it's a lesson his competitors may need to learn.
His bike actually looked like it was squatting. when is the last time you seen that in the USA?
The Shop
The part I was most curious about is which Pirelli's he was on. In press day photos it looked like he was using a sand tire, did he race with that? I think all the Dunlops were the MX3S.
Pit Row
A lot of people said Tomac rode over his head at the beginning moto 1, i dont tkink so, he was back on him.
I feel he could have crunched him when he wanted or almost.
Look again at the beginning of the race and make your opinion.
Herlings stands on the pegs alot a´la SE72 and carries momentum around the track.
ET3 sits down alot and blasts with full force and full wheelspin into the turns with amazing determination.
Its typically been like this throughout the year when you compare ridingstyles between the US and the GP riders.
Nothing "better" than the other.
And as usual "shoulda woulda coulda". Herlings beat Tomac that that and yes he was on cruise control but it doesnt change the fact that we´ll never know otherwise. It´s just what happened.

Good observation
Tomac is also high caliber when he is on.
Next week we will get to witness another great battle as Tomac will want redemption and Jeffrey will want to put his final stamp on US soil.
Its a WIN WIN situation for all
I see the Everts skill in the Tomac ride especially with his way of riding a lot with the legs (intensity)
Tomac is more "brutal" but i see an identical technique.
For me Everts and Tomac are more beautiful to watch than Herlings; I dont like that much his body position.
Question of taste
Hate ? no, i dont like him that's hit, i dont like his riding style that's it but i respect the rider obv, i respect all riders. I have the right I think.
