Just made the claim that Herlings is the "fastest man on the planet"....then goes on to say that the fly away races favor Covington...always some back handed, passive aggressive insults to American riders.

Thats all ? Herlings may well be the FMOP , and if you go back to last season Covington did well in the flyaway races and all but disappeared the rest of the season. Malin may be a bit biased but I think it's overblown. In Thailand Malin was very complimentary of RV in first moto highlights saying he looked like he was on a training run.

True but Emig has referred to our riders in the Nationals as the"fastest riders in the world" . I don't know why people are so offended by it on either side. Just hyping their own respective series.

First of all, Malin has watched Cairoli pull the same tricks for years now and win the world title every time... Of course he's going to show him some extra respect.

Secondly, calling Herlings the FMOTP is interesting. We know he has high praise for Cairoli. I wonder if he is privy to some top secret testing info. It wouldn't surprise me if Herlings turns faster times at the testing sessions on his 250 or 350 than Cairoli. I think it's pretty fair to say that Cairoli and his entourage at KTM are a huge factor in why Herlings is still in MX2

Not sure how you can be the FMOTP when you don't have the balls to race Cairoli, RV and the other top guys.

How come I can't find another Eurosport2 feed showing the MXGP. The link I was on died mid moto during the 250 moto2, and now every ES2 stream I find is showing a marathon.

All the motors TV streams are essentially audio only, that is what I have on now. The video frame changes once every 20 seconds for me.

Is it cold there? I thought they were saying it was warm, but everyone is in jackets.

The track is rougher now than i moto 1, lets see how RV finishes now if nothing has changed i see RV going 4-6 today. But 4-6 is not bad, when he gets the setup right he will be fighting for wins week in week out.

Who said he didn't have the balls? You do what your bosses tell you to do.

I wonder if Jason Weigandt will say "The fastest riders in the world..." at the start of every National this year....?

See what I did there.

Didnt hear him slate Covington, was in the kitchen but that is un called for, Covington is having a great season, put the time in to learn the GPs last season and it's paying off this year, he seems like a good kid and rides with a lot of heart, here is a rider you guys across the pond can really be proud of.
Hi didn't (slate Covington) he said "these flyaway races certainly favouring the young American".

Maler's opinion might be that Herlings is the fastest man on the planet. My opinion is that Stewart is - oooooo, does that make me anti-'euro'?

You put that very bluntly, but I do agree he should be in MX1.

Pretty shocking seeing Poto get a decent start and just kind of settle in and not push for the win like that. I wouldn't be surprised to see him kick it in gear and go 4-1 but I don't know. Blink

Yea but those riders do inlcude Chad Reed, Roczen, Moose-can & company. He is just saying the fastest guys in the world come to raise that series. Hes biased with the series, but thats it.

RV is going to have to get better starts than that. He's not making it easy on himself.

Seems to me like RV is losing time by taking the outside lines too often.

Paul Malin : "Villopoto is the most exciting rider in the world to watch."

Yeah, a real disrespectful asshole this guy is. Smile
