Herlings is a badass no matter how you cut it. The kid even picked up his bike and rode it back to the mechanics are like that. Some set of balls on him!

He rode well in the first moto too

The kid doesn't need competition to be pushing to the max if you have ever heard anything about him you would know he constantly strives to be the best. If he had a million point lead he would still go out and push to the max its the way he is.

The crash in Germany and now in Sweden, trying to get into the lead before the race even starts , JH just needs to settle, he can come from a poor start to podium anyday. Not making this year easy on himself, 2014 de ja vue ?

I'm a huge James Stewart fan, but Herlings is like a white James Stewart at this point. A series is much longer than one lap.

Huge points lead, take another weekend off...

Or come back after a few weeks, win a moto, then crash and DNF again and mangle your hand in the process.

Not to say that wouldn't happen had he taken this week off, but one has to wonder.

That crash was washing out due to fresh water on the track,plenty went down due to it being slippery.

25 points from the 1st Moto was a decent haul considering the state of his collarbone

Compare Paul's Jonass crash to jh 84.
Jonass no injury, JH84 mangled pinky,JH84 was unlucky to get injured.

I said it once and i'll say it again, those guys in the 250 class have stepped it up this year and it's forcing him into mistakes. Look for regular crashing when he does move up. His body can't keep taking all those injuries forever.

There is a guy in blue and another in red who can match him.

Agreed, he needs to move to 450s so he sees himself as the under dog rookie, he does not to be beaten by people who he's demolished in the past because they are stepping up to the bar that he has set.

Maybe the track was watered in other places, but at the spot JH fell you can see a bunch of dust.
Looks to me that he tagged Tixier's rear wheel.

You know , I haven't really ever been a Herlings fan , but I gotta say that kid is tough as nails. He seems to be able to muster up the set of balls and go out and ride with some of these injuries , in which would sideline most guys. Props to that guy if he gives it a go at the next race. I know he's an awesome rider , but I couldn't really ever stand his cocky attitude. I guess I shouldn't pass judgement on the kid , because what it looks like to me is , he's a dude that just wants to win no matter what. That knocks him up the popularity list for me. Then take someone like freakin' Milsapps...." I haven't rode in months , because I haven't gotten all my parts yet." Haha , yeah ok Davi , Jesus Christ! Herlings and Milsapps , at the opposite end of each other on the " Toughness chart ".

Got to disagree an this as don't think JH was 100% when season started and has not been able to be since, if only he would calm down for a bit and settle for less than 1st place maybe do him good (body) in long run

hahaha so lame , he won first moto with broken colarbone and fractured rib ... little mistakes happen .... he is still a badass .... seen a rider got butthurt , where is he ? he chickened out

Herlings started this season at 70% due to his last years injury , started training on the bike 2 months before the start of the season , and hasnt been really fir i think every raco so far .... could blame the crashes on that , if he is 100% he is without a doubt the fastest ....

Herlings should have stayed home this GP .... this could mess up another season , he had a 100 points lead ..
he is talking about no need to win all motos but just become champ , so why race if you dont need to with a huge pointlead ?? doesnt match .... he hasnt been fit all season , take the time

Herlings has the pressure of knowing he can win ever moto each time he pulls to the gate.

the other 3 fast guys think they might can win,different

If it continue like this, Tim Gajser will be a world champion before he got 20 years old.

That's mt point, he was used to winning by a mile and now hes not. It's similar to the JS mentality. They still think they should win by large margins and when they don't, they implode. It's purely a mental thing. Those other guys stepped up their game just enough to cause that I beleive.
