The GPs are far from perfect but it's always weird to me how angry some of you guys are about it..
Not saying either of those dudes are wrong but they're probably two of the more frustrated riders in the world with how their seasons have turned out.. That Spain track did look fucked but so did the second zooper dooper playoff round track
I don't think its about the money he mentioned if i was younger i would go tommorow.. while being 30 is not that old ,I hope the mxon will give him the motivation to believe he still has enough speed to go USA its now or never...
Yep you are right.
AMA nationals are nothing but a bunch of B riders and shit talkers, never mind that Tomac was riding to win a championship that year and not really concerned with the results of a wildcatting Dutchie out for some purse money.
🤡
Sure, Jeffrey only raced that weekend for the purse money

So 30 year old JH84 would come over to the AMA 450 MX Nationals riding a non-works KTM with US-spec fuel (that he would have to learn to ride), and ride on tracks for the first time and be an instant contender for the Championship??
You know what they say, "everyone's a title contender till the first gate drop"
Worked at Ironman 2017
That race was over 7 years ago.
seven years is a long time in moto
That was exactly what he did at ironman, long time ago but still, cant do anything more impressive then what he did then.
Flied over, completely different bike, new track new format of racing and was outstanding only thing you could discuss maybe is that he was probably the most motivated guy behind the gate but still.
If you never seen it take a look its worth it
Well now I have to go watch it.....
But 7 years ago is a looooong time, not sure its still possible with todays talent, but I should watch his recent races before writing him off as a title contender.
But Jett, Hunter, Eli, Chase and the consistent top 5's of AP....Instant title contender is a tall ask.
Nah, according to some on this board you only begin your athletic peak at like 35 or something
do you understand how long ago that was?
AP was a consistent top 5 threat because of the depth, not because he's that good. Herlings would wax him.
But consistent top 5's may top 3 a championship with our point system and a rider or 2 going out due to injury and the chips falling his way.(I know a lot of if's)
He's beating guys like DF14, JA21, JB51, CW2, MS27 etc. Only 4 guys are consistently beating him, and being the best of the rest is pretty respectable.
And JH84 like to crash big, when he does crash
Athletes peak at 35. Ask OwensJake
…35 is the new 18..
Fuckin A , I am all in for that kind of logic…
🔥🔥
You alright man? Your posts used to be sensible and on point, lately they've been like the usual vitard dribble
Just cause you have a hard on for arguing with him doesn’t mean you have to bring him into this conversation
Screw the clowns that run that series and the FIM. They fucked Red Bud all up in 2018 with their mandated track changes. They put that fucking hump in front of Larocco's leap and then their guys jumped the damn thing anyway lol.
Pit Row
This is the annual MXoN trash talk week.
Sorry, sometimes I enjoy triggering some of our UK friends when they start boasting…
My English friends sure like to boast about MXGP being the superior series, but all the while the best they can offer up to the MXoN is the young guns 51 year old Tommy Searle and slightly younger Max Anstie?😝
Yeah, that's all we got at present. They'll ride their hearts out, but we ain't gonna podium this year.
But what has that got to do with the strength of MXGP?
MXGP has the world's best pool of riders, and the worst series organiser.
Age is only a number
He was concerned about the results when he was trying to hang onto Herlings in moto 1, and crashed doing so..
He wasn't there for purse money, he turned up to prove a point. And he certainly did that. Still waiting for some top US riders to go do the same, and do a GP in the middle of the AMA season on an unfamiliar bike, riding an unfamiliar track. It'd be cool but it'll never happen.
In line with the OP of this thread, one of the main reasons it won't happen is they'd get no gate money or decent prize money and it would probably mean a flight to Thailand to race in an empty car park surrounded by exposed cables with awful marshalls and dodgy first-aid.
Any of the US-based riders would have to be borderline insane to take that on, not even pride is a reason to take that kind of risk.
Boasting.? Most of the comments are just replies to your shitposts. Nice try at deflection though.
And as someone else said; you're confusing defending GP riders with defending the series and it's organisers. We hate them too.
True, but there's always one of the better European tracks they could go to. Anyway, it won't happen and I don't really blame them. My point was more about GP riders making the huge effort to do an AMA round and doing well, and it getting dismissed as "oh, our top guys were thinking of the championship". Not sure what more Herlings had to do that weekend to get some respect from certain elements of the fan base 🙄
There will always be an element of revisionism seven years on, that was Herlings at his peak and where really KTM had to let him do whatever he wanted as the 'golden child'. We shouldn't take away from it but that's just human nature I guess.
23XI and Front Row racing are suing NASCAR right now over all the same issues that all MX and SX have with the teams that support their series
I went down this rabbit whole with Eric Estep yesterday(Nascar pocast guy). NASCAR done pissed Michael Jordan off and we might just see MJ flex some bucks on this one. I feel for Denny and MJ's drivers right now. Denny too, Since he drives for Coach. got my popcorn out for this.
Even at 51 years old Searle still hasn’t peaked physically. Look at Goggins.
Herlings was coming to the us to do a GP the week after, its not like he just came over on an off week to race our guys which is what you are getting at...
And yes Tomac made a simple mistake and landed in some soft dirt and tucked the front, then decided its time to back it off and win the championship...
PS. Tomac beat Herlings in a moto on a sand track the next week....
Got a bad start in Moto 2 and settled for 3rd.
If Herlings came here he would not win the championship in year 1. 0% chance unless Jett and Chase got hurt, then a 50% chance.
Here comes the downvotes from the Britts, and the Herlings fanboys.
