Whoopie he won one race at the end of the mx season. If he did a whole season I'd have much more respect but for me it's a two way street like to see top guys from both series do both.

Least he had the balls to come do a race here. You see anyone from the Nationals doing that? Doesn't take an expert to see JH is just on another level. Because he doesn't race the Nationals fans here can't give him credit though. How about jus appreciating we are seeing someone special right now. Same goes for MXGP fans Tomac is on top of his game too. JH is the only one who could hang with him

Pure ignorance. JH is a very talented rider and there is no way around it. To come to the US and give our guys a run for their money not once, but twice shows the kid has speed. Get your head outta your ass.

To your point the last time I checked 2 GP riders from France doing the entire us series won both overalls in the us nationals this week. It was not luck. It was not a 1 off mud race. Tomac made mistakes and deserved to lose. That's racing.

I don't understand why people from the usa can't admit our best are not the best in the world in our sport.

Who cares who wins? Enjoy the racing and be thankful for the efforts of all involved regardless what country they were born.

Herlings did exactly what he needed to do. Riding hurt and pulls off the overall. Good job.

Right after Tomac won the first moto. Don't pay any attention to that, though. Can't they both be good?

And to your point. Musquin won the overall yesterday,for the 5th overall of his "career"in the 450 class. Matching the number of overalls Tomac has this season!

5 more than most people in the series. This isnt a pissing contest. They're both fast, both have completely different riding styles and come from completely different backgrounds. But they share one thing.. the love for our sport. I bet they'd both laugh reading the petty shit said on this forum sometimes.

Cairoli is done, the pressure is getting to the man. He will retire at 9 championhips, no way he can beat a healthy herlings.

It would be so badass to have Eli, Roczen and Marvin racing the GP’s with AC and Herlings

The speed he carries while getting into ruts is incredible (Cairoli too) I would love to know how his average speed in a lap compares to others..

Who cares who wins? To put it Frankly, Frank posted three times about who won and steered the conversation into another JH/MXGP vs ET thread when it didn’t need to be. Frank cares.

I have no interest in seeing him on a SX track. We have all see him outdoors and its jaw dropping insane. To see him doing a lesser discipline who can double triple quad the best that is SX just why?
