The best sand rider in the world Jeffrey Herlings to Race Monster Energy Cup
AURORA, Ill. (September 26, 2012) – Feld Motor Sports® announced today that Red Bull KTM’s Jeffrey Herlings, of Elsendorp, Netherlands, will race in the second annual Monster Energy Cup at Las Vegas’ Sam Boyd Stadium on October 20.
Once Herlings heard that there was going to be a "sand" option and no whoops to rag doll in, he decided to race.
In 2011 it became clear that Jeffrey was probably the best rider on sand competing at top international level and will be a real contender at the MXON.
“i love sand,” said Herlings. “And also, I love sand. So this is good for me.”
Born in Geldrop, Netherlands, Herlings is geared up to compete alongside the world’s top riders for this stand-alone event.
The 2012 Monster Energy Cup features an all-new track design inspired by five-time Supercross Class Champion Ricky Carmichael. The Carmichael-inspired track design will consist of supercross and motocross obstacles unlike any other racetrack design in the world. More than 200’ of the track will be built into the grandstands, and the riders exit the stadium and race through the Monster Energy Fan Zone outside of the stadium and through the pit area before they catapult back into the stadium. The Monster Energy Cup posts a $250,000 purse with the winner walking away with a $100,000 check, and any rider that wins all three Main Events will take home $1 million.

"I love sand. Also, I love sand." Heh heh.
Why so thin skinned?
Lighten up Francis! (From the US movie "Stripes" )
p.s. - No matter where you come from, hero worship of a 17 year old boy is downright sad. You call yourselves men?

Im as European as is possible, but jesus some of you "euros" need to give it a rest, your worse than stewart fanboys. The fact that some of you can turn any thread into a usa vs the world thread is really annoying.
Some Americans don't care about the world championship, they are perfectly within their rights not to give a shit about it, and nothing you say will change that, so give it a rest. You could argue about it for forever and a day.
