I'm all good with 84 making his way over the pond to take on a race but...

If he wins(and he very well could) it will be against a very very depleted group...tomac will be on cruise control for the title, misquin will be charging and bb4 will be whatever he can with his thumb...

There are no bragging rights to be gained...dungey/villopotto must be wondering why he never stepped up in the last 5 years...suddenly now out of the blue?

I'm sure he will do well...he is lightning fast...but this is an exhibition and nothing more...nobody gets to say 'better than america' after this OR 'euros can't hang' if he fails...

It just is what it is

What does Tomac have to do this weekend? Finish 15th in one Moto and skip the other?

If he wins he was the best rider that day. That's how it works. No * there. Think of all the difficulties 84 faces just coming here. Please don't start making excuses.

If he had come over before this season he would be riding 250s....so he was never avoiding Dungey and Poto.... besides Kenny, Eli and Marv appear to be the best American racing has to offer, Eli isn't going to take any unnecessary risks but Marv will so how can say this is a depleted field when the two best guys are here? Nonsense.

There are only 2 options
Herlings came to win, or, he came to hang out with Justin Hill to watch all 4 motos

Couldn't agree more. Big props to him for giving it a go. Hope he does well in both of the US races. DeSalle has done well in one off US races, why not Herlings? One thing for sure if the American riders play it safe he will take the win if given the chance. You wankers trying to make this a US v.s. Euro grudge match are missing the point. There is more interest in this race than any other US MX this year because of him. Enjoy it.

I predict...

Herlings crashes into Tomac in Moto 1 causing him to get DNF-DNF and losing the title to Hulk Hogan.

*depleted group*

That says a lot right there, Herlings is still in it while all the others have fallen by the wayside. I'm looking forward to it regardless of the outcome. I'd love to see him, Tomac and Musquin all kill it for 30+2 x 2. Any other US riders care to jump into the fray, I'll be right here on the edge of my seat.
