No need to worry about him.
See, if I'm Herlings...and if I honestly believe I'm the baddest sand rider on the planet....I ride MX2, and smoke the Americans on a 250, in the horsepower robbing sand...just to leave no doubt in anyones mind where he ranks in terms of sand riders.
All this riding a 350/450 and then not even riding MX1...make it look like he thinks he at least needs to have equal cc's to compete with the Americans, and that he's dodging dungey in MX1. I don't think he's as confident as some of his fans are.
Since he's not on the 250, I say he crashes in at least one moto and doesn't make the podium (the 450 is a different machine than the 250)...and that he'll win the other moto (the MX2/MX3 moto) with Barcia in tow. (Baggett will be the weak link...again...and will barely make the top 10 in both of his moto's because of crappy starts, and crashes because he's trying to hard).
And perhaps most importantly, America wins the trophy and as a result kicks Herlings ass...since it is a team race afterall.

Its been explained a few times already, but he'll riding the last two races back to back, which will be when the track is at its roughest and when arguably the event could be won or lost.
'IF' he wins both of his races, I don't see how not riding a 250 could be held against him. The kid is 17.
(edit. with all this build up, the chances are he won't win a race for whatever bizarre reason)
Either let him dominate on a 250...or put him in MX1 to race Dungey.
Herlings will be out there kicking sand in A LOT fo faces.
The Dutch feel they have a slight chance of a podium if Herlings does well,with the rest of the finishes average or above they just could scrape it,it's the Nations afterall!
And I was referring to the MX1 overall. Of course they'll race each other head to head. But it would be cool to see his name in front of Dungey's (the US 450 MX champ) for the MX1 overall. (I'm splitting hairs here, I know...)
We shal see what he can do in his own back yard, But get real, put him up against ANY of USA's best in the heat over here and you will see this wonder boy broken. Over here we call these types of things one hit wonders... and what we are serving are home runs...
BTW, I believe he will be beat.
I hope he and everyone has good starts, avoids trouble, and the best man that day in time come out on top. If its him or anyone else I say congtats.
As for the other riders who have done both.....Langston, Albertyn, Pichon (if you count 125 SX titles)....Reed came close (second in world mx) as did Tortelli (second in AMA to RC)....
Pit Row
DeReuver can't do back to back motos fitness wise (getting older and lots of past injuries), so he'll run race race 1 and 3 (called mx1, but that doesn't matter).
The class results dont mean anything at MXDN, only for benchracers maybe. If herlings wins the last moto (mx1/mx3) with only 30min rest. thats good enough proof for me.
Post a reply to: who wants herrling to just kick US. ass??
