You're just typing trash to the only purpose to justify your idols performance yesterday. Cairoli last year was even struggling to hold the 2nd place in the championship due to an injury but you really mentioned him?
You must have not watched last year MXGP class I hope. Any chance internet was off for you last year?
Glen Helen is nothing compared to what Herlings did yesterday on a new track for him as a rookie. What I saw was just another crash from Tomac trying to match Herlings speed, did you see that or better not?
and now just don't expect to see Cairoli pushing like an amateur to the USGP next week expecially after yesterday Tomac was nearly to throw the umpteenth championship on the rubbish bin again.
You might not like it but Cairoli stopped trying by Loket GP this year.
At the end of the day Herlings still not only beat Tomac who was clearly just riding for the championship today especially in the second moto, not the race win (and fair enough) But Herlings came from last and ran down Marvin, the man who has consistently shown he is every bit as fast as Tomac this year and also he ran down Baggett another rider who has shown he is the best of the best in the American MX right now.
Both Marvin and Baggett were riding at 100% knowing they had to beat each other and win the moto and hope for a mechanical, they were going for it and Herlings came from second to last, passed the entire field and won the moto.
That is bad ass.
Every chance Tomac wins the U.S GP's but also every chance he finishes 5th - 10th, so many great riders in the GP's and American MX.

So he jumped on a plane overseas, decided to ride on short notice, rode a diffrent bike (say all you want but thats harder than riding on youre own bike even if its a factory bike), coming to a new track, have less time to learn a track than normal and have a diffrent raceday schedule with less time between moto's
Im not saying Herlings would go 24-0 and i dont even care because he wont race a full US championship ever but you are comparing apple's to orange's. Put Tomac on a plane to a Gp on short notice and give him a Gp bike on a new track and see what he does then you could compare it
With an environment like that you will see MX riders in the US just not at the level as those from the MXGP that focus solely on MX.
1st in 1st practice
1st in 2nd practice
1st in 1st moto
1st in 2nd moto
Hard to argue against that.
The other SX's in the EU are more like Arenacross.
You could break it down further and say "who went through
section xyz faster" but then you'd need another trophy for that too.
They actually have one for that, it's the "WGAF" trophy.
I like MM but sorry, he was NOT faster today.
You don't go from last to first and and have to listen to drivel from
those that refuse to realize the enormity of the accomplishment.
You may not like JH but he killed it yesterday by any standard.
I think even MM would be embarrassed to stand next to JH and
say I had the fastest lap after that spanking.
JH would say, "and that fast lap got you what?"

Herlings was a fucking beast yesterday, that was an amazing show of speed and talent.

Isn't it the same riders that are somewhere near the top in both disciplines ?
Dude ... quit while you're behind. It is amazing the shit people will write here.
It is an advantage to be able to focus on just once discipline, and honestly, the Europeans train just as hard as the AMA riders and I believe they will be the more dominate force on average in MX. Of course I am lumping Europeans in one group instead of one particular country, that is the difference the US has, alot of depth out of one country. In the end being on the top step is what matters.
All riders that can ride at a professional level are able to ride SX I'm sure. Again show me a rider that hasn't proved that ?
