Yamaha 450s look not great in MX. Herlings fast but he is getting older, it shows. Also have to be honest, The MXGP level is lower than the American level right now. The new domination of the euros is already over. 100% sure that Sexton is faster or at the same speed at least with 30% less effort and risk than Herlings.

Not sure I agree with your thoughts on the two series.

3, 23, 21, 2 and 9 are the five fastest US MX'ers (I leave 51 slightly behind).

84, 243, 959, 3, 61, Seewar and Fernandez are the world's fastest.

Is Chase the fastest guy in the world right now? Possibly, but I wouldn't count on it.

Yes I thing Chase is the fmotp right now. Not just fast but fast dominant. I also think Chase is not already has his peak so this is scary for others riders. I think a starting gate with Anderson, Plessinger, Barcia, Roczen, Ferrandis, Sexton, Tomac and  Jett even Hunter behind is just a stronger gate than  Febvre, Fernandez, Seewer, Renaux, Coldenoff, Gasjer and Herlings.  Renaux is a Rookie, he struggle bad. Febvre, never been a fan, 1 bit overrated and a crasher. Fernandez lol come on, he needs to prove more to be in that list. Seewer, Coldenoff, good but not amazing either. Even Versace could beat those two imo. Gasjer has nothing in term of raw speed for Tomac and Sexton but he has something on a whole championship. Gasjer will probably never give the name of Charlotte to his daughter as Herlings. Prado, crash prone with already a lot of close calls but the better hope for euros right now. Herlings I don't thing he will age well with so much big crashes but crazy how big crashes doesn't affect him mentally more. Very impressive. I also think kick start Kenny could cover every euros except Herlings. Ditto for Anderson. 

You seriously saying all this about the mxgp riders, while sexton in SX this year has had many many brainfarts while leading? Lost the title last year in MX to tomac and then talking about struggling, rookie, nothing proved yet, crashing etc etc about mxgp riders?

I think people need to stop with al this BS and start enjoying both series...

 1-1 on a shitty, rutted, concrete track for win #102 for #84, who will need to wait one more week (make that two weeks since there is a week off before France) to get a hold of the red plate.

Hope Renaux and Febvre are at full strength for France.

When I started racing again in 2000 billy was running the pro and 25/30 plus classes. Most fun I had racing probably my entire career: he would clean u out like the world title was on the line. 
 

good times

Another 1-1 for the Bullet at Kegums. More to his liking in the sand.

With the 2nd and 3rd best riders in the world (243 and 959; OK maybe 3rd and 4th with 18 in the picture) out of the series,

Herlings should be a certainty for the 2023 MXGP title, but injuries are always a possibility.

 

WHEN are we going to see a couple of annual races where the BEST of the FIM race against the BEST of the AMA?

In regards to your last paragraph, something is in the works.

Thank you. Sometimes I am excessive and I am wrong. My strong opinion right now is that I m 99% sure that Jett has not a lot in the tank right now for Herlings, Tomac, Sexton and a dialed Ferrandis. AP and Webb kept Jett honest at Hangtown. Sexton said that he is mentaly ready for outdoors but I think he is not after a SX season like this. it will be very disapointing to see a rookie walk in the park against bad dudes like Herlings or Tomac to be honest. Like I said before, I don't think any amazing skills can handle agression and Intensity and power from a skilled and tought bulldog especially in MX. Jett would implode sooner or later.

I'm a redhead who could have been Harlan's twin brother and I don't drink so I would say the sun but I smoke a lot of weed dude so who knows. To be honest I m biased AMA because my first meet with dirtbikes was watching Stanton at Bercy. Not a fan of Luongo MXGP era either.

It’s a real shame Tomac is injured. Herlings could have wrapped up the Championship early and come over to go 1-1 at the last Outdoors….
