I wonder if he is saying he will be doing MXofN in the future or if trying the GP's is a real thing. Comment Below from Racer X
Lest you think the million dollars has healed all wounds from last weekend for Tomac, don't worry, his heart is in the right place. "Last week is still in my head and in my mind, it’s still bugging me and bugging us," said Tomac. "I know we're better than what we finished, but that's racing. I think it probably added three years to my career because I want to go over there and get some revenge on those guys. But overall, though, we did just get straight-up beat."

I hope it happens (ET keeping at trying for the MXoN cup and over for a go at the GPs), tall order to go to their house and be competitive but it would be amazing to watch.

That guy can be anyone if he's on it
But, on the other hand, I would like to see him go try MXGP in his prime, just to see where he stacks up against those guys.
Sidenote and other bias: I remember when MXA used to bag on Thomas Covington for going overseas instead of racing the nationals - now we are welcoming him back after successful MX2 campaigns. Go figure and good for TC.
Any American that steps out of their comfort zone to give MXGP (or Euro to AMA SX/MX) a serious shot is worth supporting.

After the race someone asked Tomac how much of the million dollars he was going to give to Savatgy.
“No comment,” Tomac said without irony or facial expression.

We are very happy, when another American youngster gives it to try, and it's going to be always like that. They are always more than welcome
That is the most lopsided argument you could ever make. Herlings may know how to ride SX but for sure he's not as sharp and able to push the limits like even a 10th place guy in SX would.
The ONLY this both top guys (ET3 and JH84) have in a common equally matched skill set IS Motocross and the ONLY solution to settling this debate over who is better or who is the fastest is for Herlings to commit to the US MX series or Tomac commit to the MXGP series for a year and as fans, hope neither has an injury or a mechanical during the season. That would be as straight up as it can get.
This whole notion of having Herlings come race SX is as dumb as it gets....he would have a lot to catch up on to be able to compete for wins and I doubt you'd find anyone that wouldnt agree with that part.

would love to see it happen , l doubt it will ever happen.
lets see if he lines up at Assen for MXON ... i doubt that will happen
if he would come and race MXGP he has to go for at least 2 years to give it a fair shot
what if he lost 16 of the 20 races against Herlings first season ? you think he would stay ?
Just my 2 cents
Their reasoning is the want all the cards stacked against Herlings so their "boy" can beat him and make them feel better with in themselves.
They want an AMA SX champ to race Herlings that doesn't complete in that discipline.
It would be a hollow victory and even Tomac would laugh at the suggestion.
Either that or we have Herlings vs Tomac in a mountain bike race for all the marbles!
