I was disappointed in the video.
Herlings is obviously exceptionally talented. I watched a video of him being himself and seemingly unfiltered.
He clearly has little respect for some women. He believes he deserves greater attention in the media and the public.
I just expected a higher level of humility, respect for others and greater professionalism.
I would be surprised if KTM found that video to be no issue for them. I would be surprised if all his sponsors had no issue with it.
This is not an impressive video for me. I get he is just hanging out. Certainly he knows this video will be put out. I can get any woman who settles for his stated form of interaction deserve it. I can understand his only audience at that moment was another professional athlete. Again he would have known this would be put out.
But acknowledging all these things openly just makes him appear spoiled, self absorbed, and lacking respect for others.
Just saying he earned this right to behave like that is just excusing his lack of greater character.
But if I was a sponsor and included women in who I promoted products to I would be disturbed by this video
Just my opinion.
Let him be, let him learn - your taxes don't pay his salary. Not everyone has to fit the PC fantasy. Otherwise, you'll be criticism of his lack of personality.
I’ll be the first to say herlings has got me beat in every way no contest. Famous, rich, fast etc.
But what an ego. Self absorbed as you put it.
The problem is that Herlings isn't quite bright enough to realise that he'll regret that interview when his future wife & children sit down to watch it.
I'd hope it's just a bit of bravado brought out by the company he's keeping in the video, and / or down to the interpretation through the captions - you can never take those as 100%.
He's 26 - his Male brain synapses finally should have come together. His attitudes to Money and Investment seem to indicate at least that side of things is pretty well sorted. The bloke he was driving with, seems to fit the whole, unfortunate, rags to riches, then blow it all ( or, far too much of it) Sportsperson cliché . Jeffery sure as hell doesn't look to be going down that road.
If any of you think the numbers he's quoting are really remotely near what he makes, well, you really have bought into "they (the main players) don't make much money in the GPs" bullshit, hook line and sinker.
But jeeze, Jeffery, what's with the 'Something About Mary' hairdo? It matches Mary's 'do', a just a bit too bloody much...

So it is not 50% applied straight onto those incomes above 68k.
Herlings is no doubt the fastest rider outdoors. No one can match him. He does things on his bike that no one can match. Just like js7 did. I think they are similar in many ways.
That's obviously what KTM pays him for...and not for his personality.
