Prado gives me hope. I really enjoy watching Seewer ride. Antsie is fantastic when Herlings is not there. But other than that, there's not much depth. Now MX1, that's totally different. The depth there is unreal.

None would have beaten Webb or Forkner this weekend but Ferrandis, Jonass, Tonkov, Petrov, Pootjes, Sterry, Mewse, Graulus, Brylyakov, Rauchenecker, Justs, Watson etc are all decent riders and all would normally command positions inside the top 15.
What we're left with at the moment is Herlings, Seewer, Paturel, Anstie, Bernadini, Covington and a sprinkling of token EMX riders who step up to race occasional GPs.
Febvre got beat in Japan only because they were whoops and I mean real sx whoops in this mx tracks and he didn't know how to handle them. That's were both Coop and Canard were making ground on him.
Then after Japan, ther was Lilles. Febvre wasn't riding safe in Lilles, he was learning. He had only a week or two of SX training the weeks before Lilles. It was the second time he entered an SX race in his life and the first time was several years ago. All guys who were there said he kept improving all week end.
Concerning Herlings, I've never seen him ride so bad at the end of the second moto. He was riding like he was tired. So many mistakes, his best time was 1.5 sec slower than in the first moto, and riding while watching back is never a good sign especially when Cooper is coming.
At the beginning of the race, I saw that Coop was 19th then quickly 7th at the end of the first turn I was thinking well from what we've learned in the first moto, Coop he's gonna come in third, Herlings will wait then drop 1.48-49's lap times like in the first moto. I couldn't imagine Coop coming back so strong (even if he did it several times this season) and Jeffrey droping the anchor that way. A bit of a shocker to me to be honest.
And of course, there was Forkner...
RG1, truthfully it was just great to see a World Champ, National Champ and the Future go at it. Wish there was more races were they would race against each other. Love to see the best of the best race for pride and go at it.
Webb crushed!!!
Enjoy the races next weekend and stop crying.
As for Herlings... I don't like him. I think he's a cocky sandbagger. But I was willing to give the devil his due. He's fast, and I thought that he'd smoke all our 250 guys with ease. Let's say that I'm quite pleased with the results.
And then there's Forkner. I believe that Webb will be instantly competitive in 450's next year.* But I think EVERYBODY is going to be in trouble once Forkner gets there. To all the 250 guys who thought they had a chance after this year's graduates moved up to 450's... sorry. Forkner is going to smoke the 250 class next year. I believe he's going to smoke it in a way that hasn't been done in years.
* I think Webb's biggest problem is going to be his slow starts, going up against Roczen's blazing opening laps. Once Coop hits hit groove about halfway through the moto, KR's going to be 15-20 seconds up.
But then again, I could be wrong. I thought that Baggett would be as fast as anyone on a 450, too. He might be if he could ever stay healthy long enough.

or are you still sad about this ? youre award last week ...
You just won bullshitter award of the year. Vital should send you a t-shirt too
im not anti american .. if i am in youre standards , 80% of this forum is anti euro
just dont like people getting over excited and taking things out of contest to make it look like it was unreal or so ... stick to facts .You only read what you want to hear , not my problem
Herlings won first Moto , Webb won second moto .....overall Webb was the fastest at charlotte
the one saying Webb came from dead last
stats showed he was 7th in lap 1 .....
the one saying Webb smoked Herlings ....
so who smoked Webb in first moto ?
see what i mean , there was only 1 dickey and it wasnt me
i said Webb was the fastest in Charlotte , no doubt and Forkner was awesome and did better as i expected
i never said Herlings would smoke them , as he said championship came first ...
i expected better result in second moto , but Forkner and Webb just had better speed
Tomac was the only one in my opinion who smoked em
see crybaby , no excuses here .......
...
move on , there is a great race coming up next week
How about the rest of the class being 3secs slower than the top 3. Watching Sewer struggle to even corner was painful. Just seemed off balance.
Looking forward to Glen Helen, a top MX2 Aussie is going to be there under factory KTM tent. Can't wait to see how he does.
19th
For us that can count
us vs them again. You know there a different countrys in Europe? People speak different languages here, have different mentalities and even look different in every country. I don't know a single person who feels european. People cheers for their countries. Why should I cheer for lets say Desalle Because he is from my side of the pond? Or he is not from America? Dude, maybe I cheer for him because he is a good guy but from the other side of the pond? It's totally beyond me. Nothing to do with pc.
Edit: No big deal at all. I'm not mad on you just in case...just clarifying, its all in your head
