And I hope Tixier wins.
It would be cool to see Tixier win it, because as we all know, it isn't always the fastest rider, but who can be there all year long. If pure speed was the case, Stewart would have won every championship since 2002.
- IF TIXIER GOES 1-2: Herlings would at least have to go 9-9, or any other combination that picks up 24 points.
- IF TIXIER GOES 3-3: Herlings would at least have to go 11-14 or 14-11, or any other combination that picks up 17 points.
- IF TIXIER GOES 5-4: Last weekend at the MXGP of Brazil, Tixier finished 5-4 for fourth overall. If he repeats those scores this weekend, Herlings would only have to finish tenth or better in ONE moto.
- IF HERLINGS GAINS 2 POINTS OVER TIXIER’S SCORE IN FIRST MOTO: He will claim his third MX2 crown. Herlings owns the tiebreaker, and Tixier cannot amass more than 25 points in a moto.
as William Munny so eloquently put it, "Deserve's got nothing to do with it."
I knew the gates were partially empty but didn't know they were close to half full.

Let's just hope it won't turn into a Alessi-to-Colorado type of deal...
Jeffrey is really taking a lot of chances but, at least, whatever the outcome, he can tell himself he tried everything to get that title.
Some will call that stupid, and it may very well be, afterwards.
But hard to deny that the dutch phenomenon is as badass as they come !
Huge respect to Tixier also.
Last week, his younger brother got badly hurt in a bicycle accident and he remains paralyzed from the waist down at this time.
I can't even imagine what was going on through his mind in Brazil, yet he (still) got 4th there (not even mentioning it, so it doesn't sound like an excuse).
Then, Herlings is showing up in Mexico and that has to put the stress factor at another level for Jordi.
Yet he's got a pole, a holeshot and a win so far this week-end.
I'd say KTM has a couple of very badass boys out there.
I thought that was kinda funny.
PS
Nah, they won't, they'll just keep on nut hugging someone else and blather more incessant shit.
I wish the kid the best, I don't think chancing a more serious injury for this title is worth it. He has many more in his future.
The shit talkers have been suspiciously absent since the news now looks like JH is not going to be able to race....
If the Nationals had a round where they had to race in Jamaica you'd have the top 15 or so and the rest of the usual 15-40 guys just wouldn't be able to get there because of costs
I still think that people do not understand how painful a broken femur is. Walking on it is a far cry from loading it with many multiples of G forces on any landing. Tabletop, double, triple, whatever, G force still applies on the landing.
