Herlings starting from last lapped up to 18th place. So passed about 19 riders twice.
Can you imagine if you had a proper sand track in AMA series.
Yes, he is incredibly talented and indeed very fast.
But cairoli beats him often... and straight up
Musquin was clearly matching his speed and lap times, Musquin stayed within 3 seconds and closed up at one point and attempted to challenge for the lead but made some mistakes and fell back...
Let's be real people, if herlings couldn't pull on musquin, then he's DEFINITELY not gonna pull on tomac. Tomac would've beat him 8 out of 10 times.
ALSO a couple people mentioned tomac sitting down and herlings standing through corners.... are you people serious ? It's obvious to me you don't watch the races. Go back and watch washougal, southwick, etc... tomac would literally stand up, not sit down at ANY point in the rut and of course that means feet up... and motor through the turn, never sitting or putting feet out.
So how are we going to say herlings stands up more?
Either way, we only saw about a quarter of a lap of tomac at his fastest, and then he made a stupid ass moronic rookie mistake.
Next week in Florida is where we will see tomac with nothing to lose, and he's gonna have a lot to say for herlings and his shit talking. Not to mention all of the other nay sayers and shit talking "fans"
Its kind of funny to me how after Saturdays race @ iron man people quickly forget how tomac went 6 - 0 against the GP guys, 1-1 for 2 straight weeks against cairoli and everyone else.
NOT TO MENTION Cooper Webb coming from way back around 14th to catch and pass herlings for the lead and overall win in the 250 class.
I expect the next 2 GPs to go precisely the same way. With tomac winning easily.

Where were those extra 2 seconds a lap when Marv was up his ass within 1 - 2 seconds for most of the moto.
In fact he closed up to the point of challenging for the win, made a few mistakes and a couple bobbles and settled in for second.
Herlings is very fast, don't worry no one is taking that away from you to say. He just most definitely did not "dominate" or was "untouchable"
If tomac didn't have a championship to lose the same way he had already lost one, he would've easily match and most likely bested herlings
Considering the way tomac anihilated the field of GP guys, including cairoli (who regularly beats herlings) at Charlotte and Glen helen last year, I seriously doubt he would have any trouble beating herlings.
I think the key point is riders dont always ride to there highest level, for all sorts of reasons. GP or AMA.
In fact in any sport athletes have negative form. If all the top guys are on top form there will be a great battle.
Herlings went 1-1 in the end. You don't have to like it, but you don't need to be a fool about it. If Tomac or any other US rider wins the USGP this weekend, you're gonna be using the same arguments to bump your chest that you're now trying to prove wrong after last Saturday. Just stop it and enjoy some great racing.
I brought up the quali times because the dude said it was a stretch to say he was dominant but in reality when you are fastest in qualifying and win both races (one from last) that's being dominant
If tomac didn't have a championship to lose the same way he had already lost one, he would've easily match and most likely bested herlings.. Well that's proof if ever I've heard it haha
and on your last point.. Yep you're obviously well on top of the sport from last year and this year
There's some serious butt hurt out there, and it's making people lose their senses..I do have to laugh at the haters and excuse makers.
Who ever wins or loses, I'll still enjoy and appreciate the guys out there racing.

Srsly like Everts, i dont care of Herlings. Like Roczen, it will crash hard, trust me.
youre not a MX fan in any way possible .. WTF
Pit Row
Too bad there are not more top US riders at the start , i mean Musquin would fit in very nice ..
its almost a mini MXON race
In years to come, people won't be talking about the lap times, they'll remember Herlings showing up on a borrowed bike, on a track he's never raced on and winning both races, especially coming from last to first. If you can't appreciate that kind of talent, you're obviously not a fan of MX.
