I know he re-signed with KTM for another two years. But now he sounds like a rider who burned out or is he again finding excuses for his losses...
Like you said, in that second moto you proved that you can run his pace for ten or twenty minutes. How do you practice that so you can do it the whole way? Is it practicing at a higher intensity across the whole moto? Is there even a way to fix that?
Yeah. Actually it is very hard for me to keep the motivation, especially after fifteen years to train in the week and go one hundred and ten percent like I did five or six years ago. It is fifteen years that I am training every week. Sometimes it is difficult to find the motivation in the week to keep pushing at that pace for forty minutes two times. Sometimes I skip some training. This is not what we need because I know that he is training very hard. It is also not easy to focus for so long time and be consistent always.

I agree with the post above, lots of guys are going to searching for answers because Herlings is so fast.
"It is not easy. He is also a big champion and he is pushing very hard and training. All the pieces need to be in the right place to beat him or also to win the GP. It is very difficult, but this is what is challenging me and this is what keeps me going".
That last line doesn't sound like a guy looking to retire?
The Shop
Especially among the various 'haters' and 'fanboys'.
Read the full interview, you wankers, and 'up' your reading levels, if you can.
I read a bloke saying that the other guy is very, Very good, and he himself has to work better on his training and motivation.
It's a very honest self assessment, if you ask me - not excuse making, but, people have their bitch hats on, it seems.
Grow the fuck up, some of you, and learn to appreciate the Racing and Racers.
I'd love to see AC get his 10th World Championships, but he's up against a highly experienced, incredibly talented Young Champion, that is going to get more Championships, so long as he doesn't 'axe' himself (again) . It's going to be a hell of a thing to overcome Herlings.
RV2 age 26. Burned out.
RD5, age 26. Burned out
TC, age 32, stil there, and fighting for the champiomnship. Mhm

I just notice that first he talks about: the motivation and how he sometimes lacks it, and then suddenly he says that getting his ass kicked is what challenges him and keeps him going. That is contradictory in his story.
I think we will see some good racing and with so many rounds to go, one crash could change the whole dynamic for anyone in the top 5.
Pit Row
Just wait till next weekend and we will re talk about it I think
Take away Herlings from the results and look how good he still is ... probably would have won all GP's and all moto's ... or are Febvre , Gajser and Desalle a bunch of amateurs ??? Desalle is a 3 time runner up , other 2 are worldchamps too and he still beats em every race , only now there is Herlings who can match him and beat him ...
But theres some who cant deal with their gawds being human, funny stuff.
Cairoli resigned for 2 years, that means he will be racing 3 MXGP championship from now, 2018,19,20
He will for sure take at least one off them
The guy has been at the top for a long time, unfortunately for him Herlings is a great talent that has come into the class at a time when he could do with slowing the pace of training and preserving energy for the weekends, there is no beating the years.
Compare him to the rest of the field and he is still an absolute machine.
AC222 has won a GP and multiple motos this year. Up to last weekend he was tied in points with Herlings.....now after one 1/1 by Herlings its over AC222 is "Burnt Out" and ready to retire...
I don't believe a word of it.
AC222 is playing the long game, while Herlings wants to "Dominate" every single moto. That hasn't worked out well for Herlings every season the past. I have a lot of respect for Herlings but lets see how this plays out for an entire season in MX1.
