Huge bummer to lose Herlings. Hope it's not too severe and he comes back soon.
Is it prophetic that on the day Herlings gets injured Prado wins his first 450 overall. What are the odds Prado gains confidence, especially knowing Herlings is out, and goes on a tear?

But is still at struggling, he could hardly take a breath in his after race interview.
The Shop
Cairolli Will hand the torch to Prado after winning his 10th World title this year.
2) There's multiple guys who aren't discussed in this "passing of the torch" thread, including the last three other guys who held the "torch", some more recently than the crashed points leader,
With 12 races left Prado is 44 points down on Cairoli and down 40 on Gajser. Prado could pull it off.

What are you on about? Please explain your problem.
Prado's win was good, but keep in mind he didn't even win a moto. His day will come though. But once again, Cairoli has positioned himself perfectly to pounce on the points lead should Herlings bow out of the next round.
Pit Row
Faded again in the 2nd moto but it was hot and he probably has his injury on his mind and isn't taking any chances.
If he can get his conditioning up a little he just might dominate-this year even. The title isn't out of reach. Especially considering his age and dominance in the 250's I think we are witnessing a possible GOAT in the making. Look out Ricky.
Coming off the femur he already has a win against a possibly stronger field than Ricky had his first year of outdoors in the premier class... but Ricky won 9/12 his first season in the premier class.
Jorge would have to go on a winning streak. He probably doesn't have the man-strength against this field but it might happen. Ricky was great at starts but was he as good as Jorge?

If Cairoli and Gajser don't run into issues then the title is probably a bit far away but I wouldn't be surprised if he scored the most points in the remaining races.
Oh and Arco, the track for the last 3 GPs, is great for riders that can start out front.
People to quickly want to compare guys to RC, you heard at after RVs 13 season some about Roczens 16 MX season and Herlings after 18. Every time it was a resounding no. Guys get hurt, For the most part RC didn’t.
