Watching virtually all riders struggle in both 450 and 250 classes at Tampa Supercross in the deep loose white sand, it's a good job sand masters like Herlings, Coldenhoff etc don't race Supercross as they would have loved the sand section at Tampa, putting lots of distance into the home riders.
Why do American riders seem to struggle so much in the soft stuff? Is it the unpredictability of the sand or they just ride too stiff in their body positioning and suspension settings? What's your thoughts?:

You're either trolling or really fucking stupid.
I would love to see one of the riders you mentioned hit that sand with SX suspension, then tackle a set of slick, square edge whoops like we saw. That would be humbling.
And I love the assumption that our top level guys just go full beginner class when they hit the sand.
Edit: you people downvoting are welcome to look up a video of Herlings riding Supercross. It's not pretty.

I am a big Herlings fan BUT that was only a small section of the track!! What about the whoopies & rhythm sections? He would be lucky to make it into the main - and that is a dose of reality

Wrong time of the month?
I didn’t see Tomac or Webb floundering in the sand, they were killing it.
Herlings is on the same level or even better that Roczen and Musquin, do you really think a talent like Herlings couldn't adept a SX style quickly, I think the most here would be very surprised.
