Seems like Herlings always shows up 100%, no matter where he races. With Tomac you kind of never know what you get.
A good Tomac can beat anyone. Just a matter of how many good weekends he will have.
Same with Baggett. He can finish 13th one day and the next weekend come from 13th to the front and pass Herlings around the outside. Crazy guy

Personally I think Tomac has the talent to run with Herlings with the right training.
Remember him at kegums at MXON he just ran out of steam expending energy
ahhh who am i kidding, ignore it
Only difference is RC trained and rode to beat everyone. Watching Herlings you could swear he thinks the devil is right behind him.
Best description of how he rides I've ever read!
Pit Row
MXlarge: And no talk about Jeffrey doing the AMA Nationals if he isn’t back for the first few rounds of the MXGP championship?
Dirk Gruebel: No, we haven’t talked about that either. I know he put something on 108 on his social media, I don’t know, he must be really bored at home I think, at the moment we have no plans to do that.
For KTM team manager Dirk Gruebel this week hasn’t been a good one. His lead rider, Jeffrey Herlings crashed last week in Spain and broke his foot. Rumours have been flying around as to when Herlings will be back, but Gruebel once again gave us the latest story on the possible comeback and the rumours about Herlings racing the AMA Nationals.
MXLarge: Dirk, thanks for your time. We obviously go the press release today, which I guess in many ways is good news.
Dirk Gruebel: As I mentioned to you earlier in the week, the surgery is done, everything is in place, but we just need to wait and see how the healing process is, like when he is going to heal up. I mean before he has surprised us many times. With other injuries, some said he won’t be back for three months and he comes back after two months, or his collarbone injury, we wondered if he could ride, and he wins the GP. That is typical Jeffrey, but hard to make a prediction.
MXlarge: Obviously you guys knew what was going on, but the rumours flying around were incredible, some saying his family said one thing, or somebody in KTM saying he was out for four months. Somebody told me his foot was completely shattered. Can you give any information how his foot was?
Dirk Gruebel: Now, you have a lot of bones in there and he multiplied them a bit, but it isn’t like it was for Brian Bogers. He has no damage on the ankle at all, no damage to the ligaments. It is just so many bones in there and he split some in half. They are put together again and everything is in place.
MXlarge: Obviously it isn’t the start you want, Jeffrey is a rider who might be able to take a round or two off and still win the championship. You mentioned there is no comeback planned, but the next test is just before England. Any talk of being back for England?
Dirk Gruebel: No, we haven’t talked about that. It is too early to make that decision. I know there are a lot of rumours out there, but at the moment not from our side. There is nothing to say when he comes back.
MXlarge: And no talk about Jeffrey doing the AMA Nationals if he isn’t back for the first few rounds of the MXGP championship?
Dirk Gruebel: No, we haven’t talked about that either. I know he put something on 108 on his social media, I don’t know, he must be really bored at home I think, at the moment we have no plans to do that.
MXlarge: So even if he comes back after four rounds he will still do the MXGP championship?
Dirk Gruebel: I don’t know. Like I said, I can’t say anything, but we also don’t have anything planned to do the Nationals.
MXlarge: Maybe you need to get Jeffrey drinking more milk or something. He seems so unlucky with breaking bones. I remember he told me last year, he hardly crashed all year, but still broke his collarbone.
Dirk Gruebel: Also now, it’s like many guys, I know many people who break bones like this, not even from crashing, just slipping their foot off the foot peg. He hit a wall this time, and I don’t know if he has brittle bones. The first three or four years I worked with him, 2012, 2013 and 2014, but he had big crashes, like his crash in Ernee, but he was only bruised. I don’t know what it is. Look at Gajser, he had many crashes in the first two years, and didn’t break anything, and then he crashes last year and breaks a bone.
MXlarge: Any talk of a replacement rider at this stage?
Dirk Gruebel: No, at the moment we haven’t talk about that. I will be back at KTM next week with Robert and Pit and we will talk if we consider that option.
Just 5 minutes on the phone and everyone has got their tongues hanging out
He ain’t doing the AMA outdoors
He’s busy trying to get some more world titles
Another thing Roger would be on to Pitt saying keep that cocky twat away from here ?
Post a reply to: Herlings out for 2-4 months, Outdoors seems more interesting than Gp's ??
