Herlings is a good kid, just doesn't give as much as a fuck like some other riders. Like that time 6 weeks ago I interviewed him in front of a real Amsterdam Coffeeshop (Yeah that kind of coffeeshop). Don't think many other champs would do that!

I can see JS7 making some rap song about dirtbikes and living like a boss.
he is on the entry list but i think he has been advised against it by the doctors
If it's getting too close, Mexico may be on the cards!
If Tixier has 2 good motos in Brazil, Herlings would need something like 2 podium motos in mexico which imo is pretty much impossibly with an injury like that - its not like the rest are amateurs
So in my opinion if he's gonna defend his title he has to race both (ofc it can be disasterous for his leg)
Regrettably, his MX2 counterpart Jeffrey Herlings has had to take doctor’s advice and continue to heal his fractured femur, at least for the penultimate round in Brazil, as Pit Beirer, KTM’s Head of Motorsports has announced.
“We’re very sorry that Jeffrey will not be able to race in Brazil this weekend, because he has rewarded us this year with a lot of exceptionally thrilling riding before his accident. But Jeffrey understands that as a professional rider he needs to listen to expert medical advice. While it is certainly disappointing for both him and the Brazilian fans, it is very important that his leg heals properly,” Beirer said.
Herlings won 12 of the first 13 MX2 GPs this season, and still has a 57-point lead in the points. His nearest rival is his own factory teammate, the talented French rider, Jordi Tixier, who has confidently stepped up with some strong results in Jeffrey’s absence and has now become the other title contender. Both Tixier and Herlings ride the KTM 250 SX-F.
I think everyone that has broken their leg before knew Jeffery was done for this year, JH was in a little bit of denial for awhile, saying he could race the last round.
Feel bad for the kid, he just found out he is mortal after all.
I bet that guy cannot stop laughing.

In an infinite universe, all things are possible, I suppose.
I don't know if JH will race the last round, I did jump to conclusions - but will a week make a difference? I'd hate to see the poor guy get re-injured in Mexico, of all places...
But I would like to think that KTM will somehow compensate him for the championship bonus that was clearly his until he broke his leg at a KTM/Everts event, to which I bet his attendance was mandatory. They don't HAVE to, but it would be a nice gesture.
