He crashed in almost identical fashion to Barcia, but Cairoli's wheel locked up straight away and wouldn't turn. Who knows if Barcia even noticed that he had spokes missing until his front wheel locked up on the last lap. Luckily for him it happened right outside the pit lane.

Herlings is a great sand rider but comparing him to RV/RD is fucking laughable, just pure comedy.
The guy rails but Roczen was supposed to be the fastest thing ever outdoors and he beat Herlings a lot, and look what happened, and that was in the 250 class. You think Herlings could hang with Villo and Dungey on home soil at Red Bud or Pala or where ever the OP was talking about? HA
AC is a top 3 guy no matter what,
I think people are crazy to think Herlings could beat Dungey at Millville. Millville isn't a sand track like Lommel and it's Dungey's favorite.
Herlings and Cairoli are obviously faster in the sand than any US or AMA rider. But some seem to forget all the home track advantage stuff that was spouted at Thunder Valley or Budds which weren't even the same level of home track as Lommel was to Herlings or Cairoli... I mean it is his test/practice track lol. When I had a private track a few years back I used to be able to be able to keep up with guys I could never run with at the races.
However, Herlings or Cairoli would win on ANY track like Lommel. Germany earned the victory and road awesome along with AC and JH. I just think it should be kept in perspective. 2012 was a very unique MXDN track. I get that some rub it in when the US wins so what's due is due.... but a few things are being blown out of proportion in all the excitement.
Next year will be awesome... makes the MXDN even more interesting.
My comments were more about the fact that everyone seems to be making way to much out of Cairoli beating Dungey in the sand. Now all of a sudden Cairoli could spank Dungey at Millville?

You know what, people kiss winners arses, that what they do. Tommy's no winner...
And what the British 'fans' did is in my eyes much worse than some words of a 17 year old kid.
People threatening him, throwing stuff at him at the Brittish Gp and so on. Just because they can't stand he's faster than your British guy.
Get a fokking life.
This is why I don't think by saying Dungey is 3-1 vs Cairoli is a true reflection of how they would stack up speedwise in a race scenario like the OP suggests because they'e only gone straight up twice,Colorado and Lommel and in one race in Italy,as you say Cairoli's bike was damaged and unrideable at the start of the other
Overall Jeffrey had Tommy covered, but to say Tommy was only faster at one race is not accurate.

A gate has dropped 11 times with them both on the line and AC has won 6 of them to Dungeys 5 so its a close one. There are many ways to look at them. AC has sucked the fat one alot at the MXDN but his stats are not bad, But on the same token judgeing Dungey based on his last MxDN would be a huge mistake. Like all my dip shit country man bashing AC because his MxDN rides.
But a lot of you put too much stock in Herlings, a young cocky unproven across the pond asshole....(just ask Everets)
He may hang in the top five in an American series but thats about it
men I wish this docu had english subtitles
I can't stand that everyone expects every track to be Red Bud... They neeeeeeed different tracks... hell if southwick was like it was in the early 90s then we might have had a different result last weekend!
I'm not a fan of the current layout regardless, I think it was better a few years back the other direction, and i'd love to see them rip it or do something to make it deep again... it just seems slippery now...
In fact, listening to a podcast the other day pretty sure Payton or someone said that the riders often use a hardpack tyre at southwick cause once it gets down the benefit of using a sand tyre go away it's that slippery underneath
