When I watch Jeffrey ride, its freaking unbelievable, but it also isnt sustainable as shown by how hes injured every year including breaking his collar bone last year the year he won. I think he needs to do the same thing, we know your a baaaaad mf on a bike, but he needs to now back it down hes injured again, a major injury every year is unsustainable. He has no choice he either has to back it down or hell keep getting hurt as he does every year. Jeffrey is great for the sport, I hope he looks toward his longevity.
I think a part of the reason were not winning MXON’s anymore is that we rotate through top riders so much. Aldon works em to death, they get their titles, then they retire in their mid 20’s. Were moving to new top guys pretty regularly and that doesnt lead to as much consistency. Anyways I love watching the GP guys and I hope to see Jeff back it down just a bit after this latest injury for the benefit of the sport/his career. The longer he rides the better for the sport, he will create fans, you cant watch him ride and not be amazed... please Jeff we kno what it is now, your a bad mf, please back it down a smidge now and go on a run after Cairolli/Everts.
here comes Tomac fanclub ... WC rider , KDX and just wait for Average Joe
Everybody gets hurt in MX.. thats just the way this sport is. Tell me one year that a top rider has not been hurt?
Cairoli hurt himself last year but not as bad as the years when Gajser and febvre won the championship.
Gajser, injured the past two years.
Febvre, injured last year,
Coldenhoff,injured this year.
Marvin, injured last year and this year.
Andersson, injured this year and last year.
Tomac, injured last year.
Roczen, pretty obvious.
The list goes on and on and on.
You make it sound like Jeffrey is the only on getting injured but infact, the majority of riders gets injured every other year.
Even though herlings won @ iron man, it was musquin that posted the fastest lap of the day.
Tomac has been anywhere from 2 - 4 seconds a lap FASTER than the next fastest lap during the 2018 outdoor season...
I can present facts if you'd like, like actual lap times of each weekend in 2018?
Hangtown:
Tomac 2:19:668
Musquin 2:22:061
Thunder Valley
Tomac 2:06:813
Bagget 2:07:991
(everyone else 2:08 +)
Tennessee
Tomac 1:50:912
Barcia 1:52:143
Southwick (this is crazy)
Tomac 2:12:736
Muquin 2:16:338 (was the NEXT fastest time.)
Spring Creek
Tomac 2:12:610
Muquin 2:15:149
Washougal
Tomac 2:14:395
Roczen 2:16:335
Unadilla
Tomac 2:34:183
Musquin 2:36:311
To keep it short I skipped anything that was 1 second and under, and picked the fastest motos between 1 and 2. (so if moto 1 he was 1 second faster, but moto 2 was 2 seconds faster... i would use times from moto 2)
He did set the fastest laps almost every weekend with the exception of 2 maybe 3? i cant remember, would have to look up again
Your argument is sophism, it's obviously that all riders get hurt but it is also obviously that they don't break a bone every year...You understand the nuance ?
Do you want to talk about Tomac ? (Even if I don't like that, I don't want to be a black cat). Ok, let's talk about ET3, Pro since 9 years, two series of races including one that hurts a lot, two shoulders, one because of Weimer and one because it happens....
Facts seem to show that Herlings is more fragile. Final point.
Any of the years dungey raced. except for one fluke neck injury from a fluke crash that wasnt even bad...
Other than that the guy has never been out because of injury. never.
Happened once to carmichael also... Once out of how many years?
Pit Row
Herlings is preferring World Championship to America
The injured world champion Jeffrey Herlings is still completely in the dark when he can make his comeback on the bike this season.
Will Herlings get his home GP in Valkenswaard on 31 March? Will he be able to defend his world title in the MXGP class this year? Questions to which the 24-year-old motocross rider from Oploo has to owe the answer.
Next Friday he has to check again in the hospital in Herentals to see how the recovery of his broken foot is proceeding. On January 25, during a training camp in Spain, his right foot got stuck. ,, Between the engine, the side and the ground. It just said bite. I had very little pain before and after the operation ", says Herlings, who moves on crutches at home in Oploo. The KTM driver assumes that he 'is not allowed to drive in the first five weeks anyway'.
No Argentina
The Grand Prix season starts on March 3 in Argentina. The second World Cup match is in England three weeks later. ,, I will miss Argentina anyway. To miss one is not a good start, but on such a long championship I can afford it, "says Herlings, who missed one GP in the jubilee year 2018 because of a collarbone fracture and still became a world champion.
Meanwhile, with a message on Instagram, he fed the rumors about an alternative program, the American outdoor season that only starts in May. Grinning: ,, I thought: I will light up the fire. At various forums I read that I would not pick up the GPs and that I would drive in America. I had not said anything about it myself, not even talked to KTM about it. "
No nonesense
,, I prefer to stay active in the World Championship, than I have to go to America ", says Herlings about 'Plan B'. If I miss too many GPs in the beginning, the American championship could be interesting. That is a very highly regarded championship. And a title that I do not have yet. In Europe I won just about everything I could win. I have a contract to drive MXGP, I have no say in this situation. To be allowed to drive in America, I am dependent on the goodwill of KTM. First wait and see what the doctors say. If I'm only driving in five months, I will not get America either. "
His doctor is calling the shots
He must have broke it up pretty bad
If he is that long of the bike it’s gonna take a while to get up to speed even for AMA
Post a reply to: Herlings out for 2-4 months, Outdoors seems more interesting than Gp's ??
