So does any one no of if Herlings plans on racing in the states when he wins the MX2 championship. Or does he plan on staying in Europe to race in the MX1 class. I personally would love to see him come and race supercross and MX, and watch him race against Roczen & everyone else. We need more of the top Euro's to come over and race and dice it up. Desalle would be another great rider to come over and race the entire outdoor season, he has already proven that he can hang with the top 450 guys.
Although it is not confirmed, I think you will see Herlings stick to the GP's like Cairoli and try to cement his position as one of the greats over there.

I don't know if it was right or wrong to boycott the qualifying, but when everybody agrees, you have to do the same, or else the idea of a boycott is gone.. it is the only way the riders can change things, to hold together.. But i do find it funny that the two guys with long standing AMA experience couldn't see that :-) i don't know the english word for it, but in scandinavia vi have a word for guys like that. I see why the other riders where pissed..
I think the expectations to him would be/is sky hi.. I understand why he wouldn't go to the Nationals, anything short of victory he will be trashed by every american just waiting for RV and co. to smoke him..
Not much to win, but every thing to loose..
Pit Row
I talked with someone "big" in the team and he said that the line up for 2014 isn't know yet because they don't know yet if Musquin get bumped to the 450 class. If so KTM USA has 3 signed riders in the 450 class and 0 in the 250 class.
He also said That all options are possible. Also who will they will sign as new 250 riders is Roger DeCoster his choice and it isn't impossible that Herlings is on "The Man" his wish list... But maybe RDC is more keen to work with Savatgy and others they don't know yet them selfs.
@Jefro98 Tyla Rattray had also a deal with KTM. But Pro Circuit, KTM and Tyla made a deal and that was it! The MX2 World Champion who already tested the MX1 KTM packed his bag and went to the United States!
I'd have probably been pretty pissed off too as most of the GP regulars were to see some guys that were new to things come in and piss up their backs so to speak,anyhow that's another argument anyhow
Herlings seems to want to stay anyway,shame for you guys over there as he's still young enough to learn SX,I don't think he'd have much trouble getting to grips with it either from some clips I've seen,the guy's a major talent for sure
Big Ken may well end up on a satellite KTM team I guess?
