He put in an impressive ride but let's not get too excited.

Really I would. I like his "No Fucks Given" attitude. Might be just what Tomac needs also to stay motivated and we'd see some great racing.
And thank you for using the term "cherry-picking" (correct metaphor) instead of "sandbagging" (wrong metaphor). I used to think most people here were linguistically challenged.
Isn't JH 22 years old and just completed he first year racing 450s?
When should he have left the 250 class when he was 17... not sure what sand bagging or cherry picking was occurring?
It is Pretty tough to sandbag or cherry pick a professional class!
So Herlings is the best in the world!
Makes sense...
• Tomac's average margin was about 15 seconds across those four races (as much as 24, as little as 6).
• Cairoli raced with injuries all year and was never in top form, not the way he is now.
• The MXGP title had been wrapped by Gajser at Assen, so nobody was taking any chances. (On the other hand, Tomac didn't have much incentive either; go figure.)
The Internet didn't quit working last September. I think Tomac got lots of respect after his four-moto sweep last year. Webb after Charlotte too. But ... it's still not the same as Herlings on short notice and a loaner bike. That was just spectacular. No one's ever crashed an American party like that.
Pit Row
And no this is not fishing....it's fact
1: the loaner bike is a full factory Ktm race bike at US spec.
2: if you don't agree Tomac was playing it safe the second moto yoy are high.
3: wait until next week when Tomac doesn't have to worry about a championship that needs to be won after he threw 2 away in the past.
4: Herlings was great, but until we see him smoke our top rider when the championship isnt on the line like Tomac did to the GP field 4 times in a row then it isn't relevant.
And let me give you some advice, Einstein. If you're going to judge the "smarts" of others, learn to use "you're." (On the other hand, I do love irony.)
Last point, if you know anything about MX and don't appreciate the enormity of what Herlings did today, you very likely have never raced a dirt scooter. Amazing ride, but he would never go 24-0 here. Having the speed to do it and actually doing it are two wildly different things!
Eli's moto's in Europe - 4th, 16th, 2nd, 8th, 6th, 3rd.
Idgaf about grammar when trying to type fast as possible on a phone.
4 out of 4 vs the entire GP field LAST YEAR. We will see what happens next week.
Also no one starts a sentence with and.......
Sorry, couldn't resist
