To clarify, I mentioned Searle as he came out and went 7-8 in his two 250SX races.
That is in the realm of top five, therefore relevant to the "top five guy" discussion...
Haven't listened to it yet , but Lewis , I bet this is one for the ages. I wasn't much of a fan of his , until about 5 - 6 years ago. I found it refreshing listening to him , as he says it the way it is. He's also become Very humble in his later years. I'll definitely be giving this a listen. Thanks Lewis!
Yeah and, as you could tell by the interview, that is way in his head.
You think that he'd never figure that out though? To each their own.

I hope you enjoy it! It's definitely a different look at him. It's definitely the 'real' Jeffrey Herlings!
Hey Lewis,
are you broing down with Jeff at Gaildorf this weekend? Of all the places, this is the least I would have expected him to race at.
No Gaildorf, but I am sticking around. I was meant to get back to the USA for Unadilla. The riders have responded though.
I had quite a few phone calls from riders saying: "We want to do one of those podcasts. I'll be as honest as Jeffrey was..."
I'm sticking around for Sweden and Arnhem to record two episodes, then an American is also in for the end of the month.
I want this 'series' to mean something. Every podcast under this umbrella needs to be worthy!
This guy will never let you "win" this argument Lewis lol
When and by whom was this "honest" stuff started? I get people wanting to open up, but emphasizing honesty tells me they haven't been before.
Maybe it's just me being my usual self and taking things by the word and not getting irony. You may tell I'm also great at parties.
Vialle had next to zero experience in SX and he did pretty great this year. No reason to think Jeffrey couldn't do the same.
Brilliant Pod Lewis!!
just so much in it. I find the whole training side very interesting. From how long he spent training each day to the type of training he done & even that he organises everything himself. He must have been one of the fittest athletes in the world at his prime.
Thanks & lookin forward to the next ones.
Brilliant work Lewis. I truly appreciate your interviews and you ask really good questions. Keep it up 👏👏👏
DV commented on Pulp that everyone online was shitting on Herlings for the crashes in the whoops but he saw him and his lap times were similar to Marvin.
Had Herlings applied himself and gone full time earlier in his career, he would have adapted to SX and challenged. He is one of the most talented riders to swing a leg over a dirtbike, ever!
I'm pretty sure what it means , is that for decades , riders have been tight lipped on a lot of stuff behind the scenes. This is especially true in our sport! It's not saying or calling any rider a " Liar "......it's that they weren't saying much of anything in certain subjects.
Well, honestly, I'd give a lot of that credit to Seewer. Seewer has always been honest in a smart and articulate way.
Thank you! Appreciate it. I'll keep trying to get better and deliver different things.
Herlings is an all-timer and is the MX GP's Stew - changed the game, broke records, and hurt to often.
Question: Could he race 250 Supercross (per the current rules)?
If he races a national, I am going! I saw AC222 at Hangtown last year and the fans (especially my dad) absolutely loved it!
Herlings has an eye on two more years of MXGP, then potentially finishing his career with an outdoor-only deal in 2026.
It's discussed in the podcast!
Pit Row
Looks pretty damn good here. He's on the 1989 Miami Supercross track (I wish they still mixed it up).
Would love that! I need to finish listening to it. Well done!
I really wouldn't want to see him that late in his career. Jett will be going into his 4th season, Chase will also be in his prime and he will most likely have to deal with a rookie season of Deegan if he doesn't beat Hunter who will also be a handful. Wouldn't want to see him roll around in 5th. The only guy with a perfect record in moto is Father Time.
To me this validates him saying he doesn't care about perceptions. 22 year old Jett will be an absolute monster to deal with.
You don’t have to get better, you’re already best. Even better and we might lose you to motogp or something. You are the 259/84 of mxjournalists
Anyway to get that 2 hours wasted back....
I mean, no one made you listen to the full two hours…
I normally turn a podcast off if I find it boring.
I’m first generation american from dutch parents… the cockiness is just how most dutchman sound when they speak english. It’s a mixture of the Cadence of their english which is how dutch is spoken in short staccato bursts and their use of expletives. the expletives are just sprinkled throughout their sentences and not used in the same way as we use them in the US, but it’s very abrasive to our ears! 😂
With all that said overall i liked the pod cast but i couldn’t help but think it sounded like Austin Powers interviewing Goldmember … that’s one of my favorite movies so i swear that’s a compliment and was making me laugh!
Was waiting for the part that was supposed to be so good.
Good try salty
Quit talking about it and come on over. I really don’t like “could’ve” discussions when someone didn’t try. That goes for Premier wins, supercross, or Outdoor nationals. I lived in 5 countries in Europe and speak French …..but for every 1 successful came over and won a championship I can give you 10 that didn’t. The VAST majority of riders come over moving up career wise and most from here go over to GPS because they have stalled out career wise here. Make what you want of it but that is true more often than not. JH didn’t get the most premier wins and he didn’t come over for supercross…or a full season of outdoors here. I think he probably would have done well…in outdoors but I don’t know how many championships he may, or may not, have won. Put up or shut up is a true statement.
Imagine being so stupid you listened to something you didn't enjoy for 2 hours 😂
Maybe you should you partake in something you'd find more enjoyable, may I suggest licking the nearest available window?
