They should put a sign on the top of that hill that says, no scrubbing! Kidding of course.

Dang that sucks! Get well soon JH.

Props to the commentator though. "He pulled a Tomac". yes, yes he did.

If he has a broken collar bone, it's quite possible he will be back quickly. I was thinking he had a messed up shoulder, which would be far worse. Dungey came back to supercross after having a broken collarbone in a few weeks.

he still got a 100 points lead , so he could miss next 2 races and still be in the lead for championship

I think the others have stepped up the pace this year and he's cracking under the pressure that he's never really had before.

I wouldn't say he's cracking, for the most part he's rider liking a person trying to win a points championship.
Now he only has a 100 point lead...

All I know is he's had some uncharacteristic crashes this year. Maybe, maybe not. But there's no denying the others have put more pressure on him, than previous years.

The racing is really good over there, it's a shame about the camera work... I like the announcing too...
With that start I'll go out on a limb here & say that Herlings may of won the moto if he decided not scrub on that lap...

Hes broke his collarbone today just found out

He's lucky he broke his collarbone and didn't separate his shoulder.

The speeds get faster and faster every season and even the top riders have to push it further and further, taking more risks to stay on top. It is not so much the tracks, but humans can only react so fast and the difference between 1st and 5th can be fractions of a second. A single hiccup every lap could mean podium vs. no podium finish. I believe the bikes today have also brought the riders closer together. No one really has a major advantage anymore. Compared to the old 2 stroke days, we have seen even in the amateur ranks how the 4 stroke have brought riders closer together beyond just skill on a bike. Compared to the old days, riders on today's tend to run more in the same line carved by the smooth 4 strokes whereas the 2 strokes tend to blow out the lines more easily. The similar lines bring lap times closer together.

I think it is about time that something be done to make MX racing a little less hazardous so that injury rate is reduced and we get to watch the top riders last a full season and do battle with each other. I don't have a specific recommendation. It doesn't have to be pussification of the tracks but perhaps more grooming to get rid of kickers and crossed ruts between motos. I am all for this. Also, we can still have big, cool jumps, but separating each of the technical sections give riders a chance to recover if they get out of shape before running into the next obstacle. Like F1 and Nascar where the cars were getting too fast, perhaps the power levels could come down a little and racing will still be just as exciting, but riders will have that extra millisecond to react. Just a little less power maybe. These would be very modest changes and racing will be just as exciting as ever with our top riders doing battle with only the occasional injury like we used to see 20 years ago.
