Hybrid track ? I wouldn't bet against him . Hell Coldenhoff should give it a shot also.

Herlings looked he wanted season to be over after race. Better take time off and come strong 2019 for MXGP that is his job and pays more than million in month.

Still pretty supercross-y, would bet it would probably end like Gajser. Someone like Herlings a million isn't even worth the risk

MEC is the faircross of the moto industry. Why would he waste his time?

Yeah. I wasn't being completely serious ... I know Herlings wouldn't bother with it ,but it would be another opportunity for him to smash the Americans.

A million in one night not worth his time or the risk? Life must be glorious for a GP rider

Really takes away from the prestige of Supercross thinking how much faster some of the Euros would be if they rode it most of the year.

I'm sure he watched Gasjer weed it at MEC and knows he doesn't have the suspension setup to handle a rythym section.

For 1,000,000. That’s a lot of zeros. I am sure his salary is well above and beyond, but not bad for a quick lick.

He'd have to pay US taxes if he won, not worth his time to net 450K and then get killed again on the Dollar to Euro exchange rate...

and as much as i love kenny i think a lot of his big crashes can be credited to running a little bit too soft of stuff

Imagine the heads exploding around here when he won the Million in a three moto sweep! B b b but it wasn’t a real SX! Laughing

Wouldn’t it suck if Herlings found out he was better at SX than MX?

The GP riders focus on MX throughout the year really shines through at this event! We’ll get that trophy back again one of these years, and these beat downs are going to make it that much more special!

Riders don't make a million a month.

Difference is. The euros dont claim to be the fastest supercross riders in the world. They know their limitations for the most part and stay in their lane. No reason to try race a one of SX with zero preparation 2 weeks after their main goal for the year is complete.

The US would win a SX des nations event going away, no denying that. But at the MXdN on the other hand the US is just another team with the chance to win it, not a certainty like they used to be.

I'm sure he saw Tomac and Bogle ''weed it" at the same event, too.

Remember how well it went for those two, last year? Two riders with a fair few SXs / MECs under their belts.

The blokes paid millions for what he does, already.

Next thing you blokes will 'require' of GP riders, is them to do Straight Rhythm. Hell, the way peoples attention spans are going, that sort of thing might end up displacing SX, just like SX has displaced Outdoors in importance to many.

No whoops but the MEC always has at least one gnarly rhythm section. He's capable, not his wheelhouse though and it's not like he's a pauper.

I think he'd do well. He's good at absorbing jumps, and he's really good on flat corners

I think he'd do well also . I think he'd win at least one of the motos.

Everything will start all over again next year. Thank you 2 0 1 8 you was amazing to me. Now let’s go eat hamburgers and drink some beers for a few weeks. Thank you to all my fans all around the world for the great support and love what I got throughout the whole season and all my sponsors and partners for believing in me and supporting me in the best possible way.”
