I'm wondering if the language barrier a few people have mentioned is actually playing more of a part than I accounted for...
I remember seeing stuff years ago where he'll come out with something that sounds so arrogant it's like he's gonna go home later and try his best to blow himself, yet says it so casually and nobody there reacts at all, maybe because they know how to take it and understand what he really means where some of us, myself included, take it too literally or his actual point goes over my head.
Also think Gypsy's video titles have made things sound like they're gonna be much more disrespectful and argumentative than they are when you actually get around to watching them, which I guess is just straight clickbait and probably pays the bills, so that shouldn't have been a shocker, that's on me.
He definitely came across far less condescending.
Also, Jace had an interesting take on how qualifying could be.
Something along the lines of F1 qualifying might be a much better show over here as well.
The way he lays it out, we could easily do the same here.
450's and 250's alternating times out on the track in Q 3, 2, 1, sessions for gate picks.
Would definitely let us see more of the top guys throwing down their heater's in the last sessions.
Something RDL could never seem to do during SX.
And the main reason I never even bothered paying for the mavtv app.
I can DVR and watch the races on their television channel at my convenience later in the day.
Rewind anytime, watch again later without having to wait.
Why pay or the practice sessions where they show the backmarkers flailing, and top guys rolling around ??
However, it would be cool to see some sort of 1 or 2 lap outdoor mx 1 on 1 bracket race like they have with RedBull straight rhythm.Have a huge winner take all purse. Maybe MX Sports,FELD and Infront Moto Racing could all work together and make it happen for the world to see.

Not defending some of the things he said but i do believe the way they say it makes it come across differently than intended. That also goes for swearing, they like to drop the eff bomb a lot and it’s not really used in the same way it is used here in the states.
For the Americans. Above was a message in Dutch for Herlings. Because i know he lurks on Vitalmx, especially this topic! Haha
Very natural, lots of great topics covered, it is actually one of the only 3 hour podcasts i have ever watched fully
Pit Row
Also, some of y’all are dramatic on how different Supercross and motocross are. Yes they are different but it’s not some foreign discipline. I think, minus whoops, all the top mxgp guys can easily handle Supercross with just a bit of practice.
PROPS
Jeffrey gave huge props to guys like Eli , Kenny , Anderson and Chase. I listened to a dude with a ton of humility , which has also proven himself to be the fastest dude on earth at times.....talk highly of his competitors.
I'll bet that if you listened to the whole podcast , if you weren't a Herlings fan before......you would be after.
AND......this is coming from one of his biggest critic's of his , ever on this board in the past.
I give him huge props for this interview.
Herlings is Europe's #1 Crash Test Dummy, like Blubba Stewart in the USA. Between them they've crashed away what? a dozen ships? Extremely impressive when all goes well, but when it doesn't........KABOOM
Herlings seems to be fragile too. Blubba bounced pretty good initially, but he punished many tracks severely with his noggin.....it took a toll. Herlings isn't prone to doing the stupid shit Blubba did though, gotta give him that. (ask RC)
Tomac did the same when he was young, remember that 250 crash in CO when he was a MINUTE ahead of 2nd place? Seems he learned his limitations (high as they are) early on. He's also not all over MTV bragging about his crib or his Lambo............
MX/SX going "mainstream" ................be careful what you wish for.
