You have to give Jeffrey his due on this. He might not be considered the Goat , but he damn sure could break a lot of records in the future. He's riding at an extremely high level right now....and weather you dig him or not....the dude is one fast , smooth , relentless animal out there right now. He'll be king of the GP's for quite a while I think.

Don't need to count titles to know he's the best ever. Dominated everyone, even on their own turf.

The way it looks now we can soon start calling him the sandbagger of MXGP. At least when Cairoli is done seems like he's head and shoulders above the others.

Looks to me like the unbeaten Tomac is the sandbagger right now.

SX is a sponsor oriented, heavily marketed indoor playground race . Kinda like wrestling or monster trucks. It's easy to watch, you don't get wet and there's hot dogs served in the stands. It's just a ploy series so the sponsors can get exposure and the riders get a nice paycheck.

Don't confuse or even try to mix it with the proper way to ride motocross bikes; outdoors on natural terrain on rough, gnarly tracks.

Personally I'd have to give it to Herlings right now,Tomac wouldn't go to Europe too face him and I doubt would get too near him in Europe but JH did have the stones to travel to the US between GPs and take in a National,he'd be closer in the US though,he's looked incredible at times
Can't wait for the MXdN,I doubt Tomac's schedule will be too tough to fit it in this year or whatever with it being in front of his home fans

That's roughly the way I see it. I think on the GP circuit you'd have to give it to Herlings almost every time (the odds) but on the AMA tracks it's a lot less certain - Tomac is frighteningly quick these days...

One more point; I wonder if Jeffrey meant in terms of the 'World Championship', rather than the actual world.

Comparing Herlings to RC and he doesn’t even have a big class title yet Laughing you guys are a joke.

We will see if he can close it out this year, he would then need about 5 more titles to even be considered in the conversation.

He did come to the US last year and we all know how that went.
We sure do, we have ET3 winning motos while on cruise control and MM25 second in points behind him.
KTM brings over one of their own and throws him in the race.

Herlings with 0 points has nothing to lose, ET3 who all but has the championship wrapped up has nothing to gain by beating Hearlings just rides on cruise yet another moto and gets second to Heings.

I would have thought Hearlings would have done the same to Tomac as Tomac did to Dungy in the 2017 Supercross finals but Tomac was more than 8 points ahead of Marvin so bunching up the field wouldn't have worked... they needed Tomac to crash out and not finish the season.

I think Herlings should have stay juat a second or two in front of Tomac the entire race... but that would have been my strategy, obvoiusly not KTMs'.

I love this time of year ,always the same arguments ,just swap a couple names around.

Being at the basin this weekend was VERY different to watching it back on TV after the weekend, for a start i could get out of the damn blistering heat when i was back at home Sick , the sheer madness of that track simply does not carry onto TV, some big pro tracks do but that one doesn't, not even close.

JH has said something there that many riders and fans will dislike but i honestly think he is right, he isn't saying it to be a dick or wind people up and so far as he is concerned it's a statement of fact coming straight from his heart.

JH went to the states and won and he was nowhere compared to where he is now, does that mean anything? I don't know and neither does anybody else, but i do know it is staggering what is happening in the GP's right now.

MXDN may or may not be a ground to prove this statement and we all know it so why argue this early, the gate drops in 4 months anyway.

RC does not have any Real titels eather, only national titels! JH have alot of those aswell, AND he has ben World champion 3 times... actualy what is more likely if they went, for a guy like tomac to win the Dutch Championship or for Herlings to win the American Championship?

Technically does Herlings have any non restricted world titles? I'll match your dumb logic with my own all in good fun of course. When Herlings won his second title I believe there was a rule that after two you had to move up, Herlings threatened to go to the states and they changed it but in 2016 that title was an age restricted championship as you had to be under 23.

JH is clearly the FMOTP right now. Tomac is closer to AC then he is to JH. That's for certain. Tomac would likely struggle on GP style tracks. No different then when RV did as well.

Put another way, JH would be a lot closer to Tomac on US tracks then Tomac would be to JH on GP tracks.

We need Eli to step up and head over there
Just because it’s labelled the “World Motocross Championship “ does’t meannits more prestigious than the AMA series. The SX series is the top dirt bike filter in the world, and I would say second in to MotoGP in all of motorcycle titles.

And I think the history of top GP riders, and champions coming over to compete in the US proves that. Bayle, Albee, Pichin, Vuillimen, Tortelli, Langston, Townley, Pourcel, Rattray, Musquin, Roczen... etc etc. look how many world champions decided to come race in the US because they thought the US series was the best and most competitive in the world.

I think that also says something about the championships that say Cairoli has. Most of the top champions moving up from the 250s, which are now top guys in the US (Musquin, Roczen, etc) he never had to face and are more than capable of winning 450 GP titles.

I will give you that the logic is dump, but so was the logic in the post i replyed to, hinse my reply.. but seriously, the whole argument with who is the best og the best is just meaningless, it depends on so many things. And all af them, #3, #84, #222 can win on any given day, but these last couple of weeks you have to give the edge to #84. Maybe in a few month it will be the #222 who has the edge, who knows?.. guess it takes a whole series to determine, thats probably why the WC goes over 19 rounds!
