Good one Jamma.
Never knew the complete story about Herring.
Whatever happened to him? He was a joy to watch, should have been a worldchamp based on his talent I guess.

I think he struggled with his weight and motivational issues but he absolutely should have won a 250cc World Championship. He was our best rider of the 90's, better than Dobb, Nicoll and Malin in my opinion. At least he won a MXdN. He does training schools and works as a stuntman now.

edit: just looked on his wikipedia and apprently he did the Motorcycle stunts for James Bond; Quantum of Solace.

robbie herring was capable of beating anyone on his day- i remember reading an interview with everts after he'd been smoked by rob at a brit champs round, the comment was something along the lines of 'who is this guy, and why is he not world champion!'

robs a real nice guy, and a great coach. At a club race I was racing at last year he was there watching and even marshalled for the day when the club were short of marshals. Part of the 94 des nations winning team aswel (although malins performance that day slightly over- shadowed everyone else!)

I'd add reynard, bailey, lechein and demaria to the naturally talented rider group- and Windham! All silky smooth and effortless riding styles. Demaria was overweight most of his career, dont think he liked to train much- but on a technical track he was in a league of his own at times!

I still rate pourcel as the most naturally talented rider i have ever seen- watching him ride a motorcycle (and how effortless it looks at times) is something to behold.

Thanks for the update on Herring guys.
He's one of those rider you forget about and how good he was.

Steve. Ramon.

Everts himself said he was sometimes in awe of the lines that Ramon found around the track. He openly said that he always watched where Steve was going in practice.

Seriously, this guy was the most unreal rider I've ever seen, all due respect to Bailey, Lechien, Everts, Bayle etc.
