Herlings number 1 fan, Lewis tweeted that yesterday. I’m surprised it isn't on here yet.

I think Herlings wants to race the full US outdoor season...  I don't think KTM is interested.

He would have to get injured at the perfect time for that to even be an option. Even then it would be hard to do.

Now THAT! would be some cool stuff to see, looks like somebody is stepping up to challenge Jett's dominance and end his perfect season.

...If it happens, hopefully Jett will have wrapped up the Championship before then, so it will be a real race between him and Herlings and Sexton....

But I don't think it will happen. He is KTM's's only MXGP rider and they need him for next year.

Yeah I don't know. Ironman is in 5 weeks and he's not even back on the bike yet.

I'd doubt that he goes if he's not confident that he can win

Herlings always has an eye on any outdoor rounds that don't clash, so I guess this isn't exactly anything new.

What's that you say herlings is running his mouth again to get his name out there. Just coming back from injury I highly doubt he'll be on the gate.

KTM, Gasgas and Husqvarna have ware house of non used race bikes waiting someone to ride.. Imagine that company just have Plessinger as solo rider for all summer.

Did he go 1-1 last time? 

We'd potentially have two guys who have never lost an AMA 450 moto going at it. (just stirring the pot a bit)

What is the guts of this?

Where is some back up info to give this any credibility?

Lewis Phillips on his grundle?

Nice!

I'd love to see him come over and clean Jetts clock.

I think Chase will end the moto streak next weekend.  He's spectacular at Washougal...  But put those 3 on the line and what an event we will have.

Spectacular? 

On 450's he went 2-1 & 1-3 and 250's he went 4-6, 5-10 & 13-12

We have wildly different definitions of spectacular.

Jett is having a spectacular 450 rookie season.

Chase is damn good at the Shoug. 

See the difference?

They let him race other non MXGP races don't they?

Just imagine.. Chase is racing himself back up to speed, and now we have Herling's coming to race a round.. What if Jett still goes undefeated Blink

See the difference? 

Both P1's and beating Tomac both times and the nearly unstoppable Ferrandis in 2021.  

Jett?  A 7-2 P4 and a win without winning a moto in that same time frame.  It's clear you're elevating Jett and not looking at what the 450 class is this year...  he's been remarkable, but it hasn't been the AMA's most stellar 450 class....

Chase on a 250?  Irrelevant.  So yeah, we have different definitions of spectacular...  Yours seems to be a bit biased.

Maybe, but he actually bought a plane ticket to come here earlier this year to race.  I think he did it before anyone gave him permission at KTM though.

Great idea! And he can do Jett’s laundry and clean his toilet as well.

Why is it good to have Herlings come over?  Jett needs some consistently fast guys to race...  He's been outstanding, but if you're unwilling to be objective and look at the details, you're not looking at reality.  And hey I like Jett and think he's got a shot still of the undefeated season.  Chase next week will be his biggest threat in my opinion... 

And of course a healthy JH is always a threat.  Who doesn't want to see that?

Just take a second and look at what the 450 class was vs is (or at least how it started)...

Would love to see it happen but it seems like we go through something like this every year. I can’t imagine the chances of it happening are all that high.

Yeah I don't know. Ironman is in 5 weeks and he's not even back on the bike yet.

I'd doubt that he goes if he's not confident that he can win

This week he would be back on his bike......he told that on dutch tv

Yes, my opinion is biased as in biased in reality. I'm basing strictly on numbers. I didn't know we could throw out 60% of his races at a track because they were irrelevant. Chase is damn good there and there is a really good chance he stops the streak. 

 

It's almost comical that you say I'm biased but then say throw out Chase's 250 results but Jett's are relevant. SMDH
