O.K. don't flame me. I usually stay up to date but apparently not in this case. Just watched the Herlings video on RacerX and was surprised that he's just looking to "get points" at the first round coming up. I just assumed he would be totally healed from his leg by now. Did he have a complication or really mess it up more with the last round attempt to ride?
The Shop
It sure did damage to it,
His bosses at KTM agreed on it too.
I'm sure they took a very well calculated risk.
Herlings is the future for KTM.
Same story with Ramon and Coppins in '07. Coppins deserved it, Ramon got it.
Pit Row
I believe it was actually Herlings that was driving the I'm going to race bus but I am unclear as to why KTM wouldn't have witheld the bike from him. My leg hurts just thinking about the x rays.
Simple as that.
"ok boss, I didn't want to win MILLIONS of euros or a world championship anyway"
"yea... kinda sucks, but we don't care if you or Jordi win"
"me neither really, although losing out on that world tile and MILLIONS of Euros is gonna suck.... it's not like I had a chance anyway"
"well actually, all you need is 22pts.... so finishing 10th twice is good enough"
"10th??!"
*boards plane*
since when has any team ever told any rider they can't race because they didn't want them to? Especially when there a world championship on the line ......did Kawasaki stop RV from wrapping up the title last year, even though it stopped him racing SX this year?
of course Herlings wanted to ride, he wanted to win a world championship and bucket load of money and I can't believe some of you don't understand why he wished to do it. If he can convince a Doctor he's fit enough, why shouldn't KTM let him go?
the fact that he almost pulled it off just goes to show how much of a badass he is.... but of course hindsight is 20/20 so now everyone gets to tell him how stupid he was because he failed
Listen to this man.
Riding in that GP probably set him back a month or so in his recovery, but from what I've what I've read/heard it hasn't complicated anything in terms of the bone getting back to 100%. So hopefully after a few races we should see the real Jeffrey Herlings again
Post a reply to: Herlings...please help me out.
