Congrats Jeffrey. Stunning riding at the tail end of the championship..just like Kenny both are aging like fine wine. 

 

Well done to HRC too. And sweet sweet revenge against ktm after they snuck the dakar 2026 victory from HRC (still stings that Ricky bravec lost this year). So good for HRC !

That was a hard watch. 

Fair play to Vialle, for keeping Herlings honest, but with no Coenen, and no KdW it didnt have a lot of sparkle . 

And Sacha self destructing again just handed Farres the championship, which is a shame, it could have gone to the last race.

Vialle looked incredible in that 2nd moto, wish he rode like that when stateside.

I think his style just didnt transfer to US 250 racing, he is very smooth, not a wide open and hang out kind of guy. 

I was surprised that he didnt do better Outdoors, but he nailed 2 SX Championships and i think he just didnt fancy 450 SX

Shame he got hurt this year , he will be better next season, no doubt

I don’t get the obsession of wanting 25 lappers instead of 6.

Then how about 8 riders?  There are only 7 or 8 guys capable of winning, why bother with the extra guys?  

15 on the gate on a crappy track with 1,000 fans is a bad look no matter how you slice it

Yeah I just watched the MX2 highlights on YouTube.  15 only riders in a class is pathetic.

I paid for the excellent TV package but always only watch the highlights for Turkey.

Malin is such a good commentator. The number of hours he spends in the booth every race week-end is impressive.

So happy for Herling. Him being so stocked about getting three holeshot at a local race in France that no other pro went to during the off week kind of explain why he is in a class of his own.

To be fair , once you are up and running it goes in a flash, every race day does, but he is so polished, no crutch words, just a great flow. 

Herlings take every race deadly seriously, its what makes him tick.

Glad for Jeffrey it’s a great achievement to be this dominant so deep into his career. In MX2 Crasha doing what Crasha does man oh man SX is going to be something. Who wants to bet on whether they literally ever finish a full season stateside - either brother for that matter 😅

Sacha Coenen, DNF and DNF for 15th overall in MX2: “A difficult day. I was not feeling good this morning and it was hard to focus and even hard to really look ahead on track. I’m lucky to not get injured after that crash. One to forget and we will try again.

Sounds like no injuries.

The fact he can do 6 laps in 6GP races and score points , is a sad thing. 

75% of race distance or no points.

Should not become an issue. Infront has to make sure there are enough riders at the gates. Pay the shipping costs for Christ's sake.

For SX they just have to take it easy, try to go for top 10s and take it as a learning season. Prado did fine so I expect they can as well.

For the outdoors, the main challenge will be to dial back the pace a bit once they are 1 minute ahead of the first american rider.

I don't think Sacha can 'take it easy ', do you?

From all reports I'd say the dad won't allow them to take it easy. He sounds like a nutjob.

I think he has plans for 450SX in the future, when the current crop of 32-36 year olds call it a day.
