It's good for the sport - win or lose - I wish fans could just appreciate that even the guy in 20th place is an incredible rider - and appreciate if a guy comes here to race - rather than compare if US is better. We clearly are NOT - but that doesn't mean a guy moving his life over here is a lock to win.
He will have a tough road ahead - I personally think just adjusting to the weekly grind and short 1 day program would be a massive adjustment. If you are having an off day - there is no sleep and regroup before the races like there is for the GP's.
Conversely - when villo went to europe - he was often fast in early laps of practice. But the euros closed the gap each time out.
This is something he wasn't used to doing - finding little improvements through the course of the weekend. Here in the USA, generally you are as good as you will be by final practice and the track is best it will be.

Another year, another Herlings to America pipe dream. Seems like the mxgp championship is a long shot at this point.
Herlings to miss round 1 with a hang nail
Maybe he could get out of his KTM contract and ride Jetts bike this summer.
1st? He’ll miss at least four GP’s, maybe some more.
The AMA Nationals would probably end his career.
Yeah, I know. Last time at Ironman it was such a challenge for him. 🤦♂️
Almost 10 years and how many injuries ago?
Maybe if sexton is injured...... that ktm will allow him to ride the nationals.....
Pit Row
He should do both!
I'm not saying he would win the championship...but top three easy.....
I'm not saying he's not still fast. With Tomac and Jett back, he'd make the top 5-7 maybe...but he's just not durable enough to make all the Nationals.
We only have 11 nationals. MxGP season is what 21 or 23 races? He has a better chance of finishing the USA series then mxgp. Although I don’t think there is any chance he comes here to race a full series.
Lol imagine telling the world that Herlings is a ‘top 7’ rider
Once healthy and if he was at the same speed he was last year he'd be mixing it up with those guys and challenging for wins . I missed it though , what's the injury this time ?
Sure would be cool to see. Feel like we have been close to many times. Like others I would say if he isnt full tilt by round 2 or 3 of the GP’s then it would make sense to heal more and come over for a summer. I truly dont think its up to him to make that call and with KTMs financial position Im not sure if they would house a 3rd 450 in the US. Everyone in the media likes to throw notes out there and try to create storylines that fire people up. The possibilities of him coming are high but the likelihood of it is low. Can you imagine the lineup for 2025 Outdoors. With Herlings, Tomac, Jett and Hunter, Prado, Sexton, Anderson, Barcia, Webb, Maybe some Roczen, Cooper, Ferrandis, Pautrel, Maybe some Cairolli.
20 GPs this year it looks like without MXoN.
1 Qualifying race on Saturday + 2 Races on Sunday X 20 GPs = 60 Races🥵
Not in the heat we have in the summer but he’s more than capable of winning some races
Probably 90% of us have said it or at least thought it a time or 2 every year for the last decade. Herlings to AMA!!!
It would still be outstanding if it happened, even this late in his career.
Jeff, its time.
Bullets, Jetts, Beasts, Bulls (Prado), Champs (sorry Chase I can't think of a beastlike nickname), sounds like quite the line up.
Too scared of Tomac and Jett
Post a reply to: Jeffrey Herlings to race American MX series?
