Yesterday there came out a interview with Jeffrey and said that he fly in on Friday and leave at sunday, so he will be less dan 48 hours in the USA.
Pretty interesting that he is doing this, and coming over so late and not riding pressday or practice on the US KTM bike before Unadilla. And mayby the biggest part, the jetlag...
What do you guys thing? I think this will hurt him!!

He's says this helps with jet lag
anyone know if he is riding open class for NL again this year?
the strategy of going over late to avoid jet lag sounds a bit odd to me- maybe theres another reason for it that they dont want the public to know?
Don't you think JH and his crew know what works best for him?

Love the Cairoli conspiracy theory BTW.....
They will make sure that he's almost as good as if it was a GP. And theyre good at what theyre doing. If they manage that and hes familiar with everything, i think it will depend on baggett. If he has a good day he can fight with herlings, i dont see other riders being able to come close to be honest.
Surely his works KTM GP stuff is well outside the rules for 250 class in the states right?
IMO, he is at another level has the potential to dominate the 250 US field.
It will for sure be interesting to watch.
Jeffrey is making up for the criticism that followed his decision to stay in the MX2 class for 2015, right there.
If he does indeed ride some MX1 after clinching his 250 title, it will be even better (Cairoli vs Herlings at Lommel, yeeaahh !).
3.9 Forks and Shocks
a. The manufacturer’s original concept of single shock must be maintained.
b. In the 250 Class, the replacement and modification of forks and shocks are limited to the following:
i. Forks and shocks may be either stock or aftermarket units listed on the Approved Equipment List. This list
is available from the AMA Pro Racing Technical Department.
ii. Homologated inner and outer fork tubes, axle lugs, cartridge, and piston rod must be retained; modifications
are permitted. All other fork parts may be replaced.
iii. Homologated shock body, shaft and reservoir must be retained; modifications are permitted. All other shock
parts may be replaced.
iv. Fork and shock assemblies must be complete and functioning assemblies, in addition to the controlled
parts. Retail prices of approved forks and shocks may not exceed the following cost, exclusive of all taxes:
1. Both fork legs (less triple clamps): $5,175.00
2. Shock assembly: $2,000.00
I'm guessing his "works" gp stuff is exactly that, and not for sale to the general public. Of course that is a guess. But....
Settings sure. But for sale and for just over 7G? Doubt it....

1- get the holeshot
2- pull a big lead
3- take the trophy girl home with him
Pit Row
couldn't agree more! surely he deserves the chance to go head to head after the mxon12 moto3 first turn incident.... sure they'd be a huge turn out to see that go down....ktm need to give us some excitement after the demo they've put on in mxgp/mx2 this year!!!!
That 23 rule and no prize money doesn't seem to be working out.

Been a while since a GP champ in his prime has come to play. It will be an interesting dynamic in the 250s that is going to be worth the price of admission. Should be a barn burner
Herlings can't run his own frame (factory, not allowed in US) and maybe some little thing in the engine (but the US exhaust en fuel compensate for that)
The US bike should be good.
