Did anyone else see the KTM gal kiss Jonus when He pulled into the podium ?
That's Valentina, she's the KTM PR manager, she's like a mother to the riders.

That pass by Herlings was the most beautifull thing I’ve ever seen.
I have been watching MX for 40 years and NEVER saw a pass like Herlings made on Cairoli in that race. Breathtaking balance and aggression.

it looked like he wanted to mess with Herlings , didnt want him to pass in last lap when time is up
He's obviously going to fight for it, even if he does have an issue. There is no way he deliberately slowed to mess with Herlings. Not a chance. He's nearly 50 points down and winning is vital. If you think he dropped 3 secs intentionally you're deluded

Good racing, Cairoli is known for pushing hard and trying to gap. Gave it his all, but didnt work. Herlings beat him fair and square.

And the crash was just Cairolis own fault, he cut right back inside when he shouldnt have.

Btw horrible moto for Paulin, losing alot of valuable points.
And his peak again

even the commentators ( Joel Roelants) on motorstv mentioned it ..so i am not the only one to think so , Cairoli likes those tricks and has done it before , only didnt work this time so looks weird at the end .If he would have won it would be mentioned brilliant :-)

Cmon if you think that was intentionally you are delusional Herlings swerved to the outside like Cairoli did every single lap but now he cut back to close the door but Herlings was already there

You don't slow down to mess with a rival who has a big points lead on you. He had a clear problem, everyone at the track could see it, the on circuit commentators mentioned it. I don't know what else to tell you.

So much crap written by Fanbois and Hatergoils.

Cairoli slowing down to mess with Herlings? No, 'your' hero is just so bloody fast towards the end of a Moto, that he can reel in one of the all time greats. Hell, it's the sort of thing Cairoli would do over so many seasons.

Looking back like Alessi? - for fucks sake! I saw 3 look backs, over jumps from Cairoli - and that's pretty bloody logical when you've Herlings coming after you. As Malin said, you'd want to know where Herlings is.

40 years of watching GPs and you've never seen a pass like what Herlings did with Cairoli. F**k me you haven't payed much attention / actually watched much racing, I think. Herlings did a lovely pass for his first, short lead, Cairoli came back and got past him. Now, if you think the pass that ended in the prang was something special, once again, you've really not seen much racing - or, you are a fanboi that thinks Herlings 'did a number on nasty Cairol'.

That pass / prang? I've seen hundreds of them.

A hard push / pass by Herlings going into that tight turn - to be expected. That's racing.

When AC went down - well, both he and Herlings were going for broke - hell, it's the last lap. Both pin it on Factory 450s - Herlings drifts out a bit, Cairoli bobbles and hooks up / stands up. They hit, Cairoli goes down. Bummer for him, but that's racing.

Cairoli shook hands with Herlings - that's how Men do it. I would hope Herlings would do the same if he'd come out the worst.

Watch (and observe) the racing for what it is - 2 Supreme Athletes (and many more out on that track) going at it, hammer and tongs. Just try to show some maturity and not live too vicariously through whomever you are a fanboi of - a few of you read like Snivelling , Bitchy little Twits, of epic proportions.

When was the last time Cairoli pulled a take out? Sure he's aggressive, will block, take the line away, but I'm not sure I've ever seen him knock a dude over. He had little to gain from 'dropping his laptimes',

dont remember when he went full in for Herlings front end at Valkenswaard ? Cairoli can be a dirty old bitch , nothing wrong with that as long as he is ok when receiving
Like I said, give me an example where someone went down!

Cairoli has been racing for 15+ years and some of y'all make out he is the Vince Friese of GP's.

No one said he slowed down to mess with Herlings. He couldn`t keep the pace and Herlings caught up.

Watched it a few times, hard pass not helped by him getting off balance in the corner, both got on it hard and went for the same line, verdict: s**t happens.

Read the stuff you write, Kongols.

Are you that many drinks or bongs 'in' that you can't remember what you write?

it's a fact Cairoli has been trying to mess Herlings up all year and had no success, looking back , slowing down and trying to square him up just about anything you could mention.

take your fan boy blinders off.

I really can’t tell if people are being serious saying Cairolli slowed down to give away the race?
