One thing that many on here seems to have missunderstood when the think that a guy from italy, slovenia, holland or denmark etc going over the pond would do much worse than a guy from germany or france because is that no, supercross isnt big in germany or france either and they didnt grow up racing sx. Ffs, you cant just go to a track in germany or france and practice Sx because there are hardly any sx tracks to practice on. Sure, there are ppl who have built smäll private sx tracks on their land where ppl could play around if they asked nicely and know them and there are probably a few public moto compounds that have smaller amateur sx style tracks on them in france but you could count them on your hands, its not like in america where you have sx style side tracks on half the tracks and big training facilities and such. Sure they race sx series in a couple of countries over here but we are talking small amateur'ish Championships for show with riders who hardly could qualify for the canadian or aussie champs.
With this being said i hope ppl drop their bs about fast europeans being able to compete in AMA Sx if they prefered to do so over mxgp because MM and Kr showed that they can win and they didnt have any advantages when it comes to sx over any one else of the top europeans. Thinking that they did good because germans and french grows up racing sx is pure fantasies..
And So damn tired of ppl saying herlings would do shit on mec and in Sx and so on so here u go. 6-7 years ago on a 250 way before he started peaking so one could imagine he would do perfectly fine after a couple of weeks practicing sx too. He is a good rider, wouldnt take long for him to adjust, but this goes to show that he just aint interested in sx and that he aint "scared" and knows how to ride sx as well so there is no need for grumpy euro-haters to say he would get lapped and bla bla bla because he wouldnt, its retarded to Think that.

10 hucks a lap over 80 about ever track anymore.

it's not really a question of skills or adaptation. He has the talent to be with the best in SX but I think the question would be the same as for Roczen : Crash and injuries. How deal with 19 intense races week after week. Tomac has solid bones. Herlings is more a milkbones imo.
Pit Row
Hilarious
I prefer MX no doubt , but SX isn't going away. It's definitely a different style / type of racing , and I'm not sure why you wouldn't want to be good at both disciplines?
Honestly.....being good at both , open's more door's and increases your bank account. I would almost bet that the good SX rider's here in the state's.....make 70% of their yearly income , from SX.
I have a feeling , that if Europe had multiple indoor arena's , they would be practicing at SX more.
