Anyone know what failed in Herlings’ previous DNF?
So this is the 2027 that Fernandez raced all 2025 season? But now it's production based bikes they are getting?
Honda got to be some what nervous with potentially thousands of bikes rolling of the production lines as we speak.sure, average Joe isn't Herlings. But could be another Triumph moment, worst case.

It is pathetic but actually the only thing I miss by having just 20 riders on the gate is lappers. As long as those 20 are the best that can line up, it doesn't take anything away from the quality of the racing for me and in some respects it enhances it.
And that's Luongo's get-out-of-jail card.
With just 20 riders it's not a "grand" prix in my eyes.
I dont miss lappers. I miss depth of field.
We have a couple of the "20th best mx2 riders" who always get lapped because they are not fast enough.
While at the same time there are a bunch in emx250 who if raced in mx2 wont get lapped or even fight for a top 10.
I'm not sure what your point is?
That some of the top 20 get lapped isn't an argument that we should have even more lappers.
That some EMX riders would finish top 10 in MX2 is irrelevant to the consideration of how many riders line up.
I’ve watched every race of the GP’s this year. Beyond the first 3 seconds after the gate drops you would have no way of telling there’s only 20 riders.
What I do notice however is the comparative lack of lappers compared to the US Nationals. Moto 2 in Latvia they lapped up to 16th place; taking out guys who dropped out early (DNF’s) there were only 5 lappers left on the track. Moto 2 at Hangtown they lapped up to 19th place; with 3 DNFs there were 18 lappers left on the track including a couple of guys who got lapped twice.
More is not better in this case.
What’s the magic number?
They need to change mxgp and mx2 from 40 to maximum of 30 ........fewer emx 250 races and lower the age limit to 19 in that class........
You claim that those 20 are the best 20 mx2 riders. they simply arent. My point is that we can remove the slowest ~5 from mx2, add the 15 fastest from emx250 and you'd have a 30 rider field where the slowest would be better then the current '20 best'. And i believe that the 15 fastest from EMX250 have the speed that when they have a decent start and stay out of trouble they wont be lapped, so its not that we add a bunch of to slow guys.
dont forget the license costs. If you are an EMX250 rider and want to do a wildcard you have to buy an mx2 license, you can't ride with the EMX250 license. and the MX2 license is either ~550 euro for a one-off or ~ 1500 euro for the year. So a one-off is 850 euro (license+entry fee).
I think if you were to let vlogger Tommy searle start in mx2 right now, he could finish in the top 10 right now.....that says enough about the level in mx2 at the moment
Do you suffer from dyslexia?
I appreciate that English might not be your first language but I didn't claim that those 20 are the best MX2 riders, only that they should be.
Yeah .ridiculous ,they want to make money off everthing,,, they don't realize of they keep this up there will only be 10 rider at the start in a few years
You must be smoking some strong stuff if you think Searle is getting a top 10 in MX2.
Has there been any word on what’s breaking in Herling’s Honda?
Pit Row
Not a chance. The dire standard of UK mx right now, flatters anyone near the front of the British Championship races. Our top rider gets blown away on the rare occasions he rides a GP, and the rest are not world standard. We keep hearing about the "new crop" coming through but even the guy blitzing the 125 class is struggling to score points in EMX125. There's been a lot of hard work done to improve things lately but the sad truth is that the UK scene still exists in a bubble of self-delusion about the standard of riders.
You can't be serious about this.
Kay karssemakers races in that english championship last year and doensen this year ... doensen scored plenty of points in the mx2 a few weeks ago in France,,,, and searle is, in my opinion still about at their level......
Yes ,I really think that... by the way l edited that post about searle a bit and removed the word easy .....
No word from him or Honda but if you look at the way he struggled to push his bike off the track, I reckon one of his wheels wasn't moving freely.
You're absolutely right. And unfortunately, it's going to be a little while until we have another front runner.
Be good to see Heyman get picked up to wildcard a few though. Mustoe had a respectable ride in Germany too.
Unfortunately the UK championship is seen as a bit of "race practice" where overseas riders come over, and are straight at the front of races while only riding at 90% to save themselves for the GPs. Meanwhile the UK riders are flat-out because their focus is on the championship, which ends up giving a false impression of how quick the UK riders are. Karsmakers and Doensen battle with UK riders when they're here, then are far ahead of them at a GP. They raise their game for the GPs.
How many times have riders like Watson and Mewse "given Herlings a good race" when he comes over, then are a minute down on him at a GP? The overseas riders are GP standard. Most of ours are not, which (as a long time UK MX fan) is pretty depressing.
I agree with you. Drew Stock is making everyone look stupid in the 125 class but in Europe he is nowhere. Billy Askew doing ok in EMX250 when he gets a good start. Why is Charlie Heyman, Charlie Hammond & Jamie Keith not doing any EMX250 rounds? You need to race in Europe to get noticed, no one is specifically looking at the British Championship for talent.
Money.
Pretty much yeah.
I thought it looked like he was hitting the starter after stopping and no go.
