Tomac to GP's in 2020 would be fun to watch.
I don't think he would be as competitive as Herlings coming here though.
The Shop
Bad move ktm, from a fans perspective.
Nats would have made up for that
who knows in future ...he is only 24 and with Cairoli out in 1 or 2 years there wont be much competition left
LOL how much does he win by there?
I hope Gasjer can step it up this year.
If you are that down on Tomac, Roczen, Musquin, Webb, Barcia, Bagget, etc that you feel they don't provide entertainment in motocross you are not an American. Sure there are 30 lappers in a 40 rider field but its only a national series.
This country is far from the greatest in the world at this point but to write it off because an injured mxgp guy is not coming over is a disgrace.
Long live the us nationals.
Pit Row
Long live hairy woman, Speights and the All Blacks
HERLINGS LOOKING AT RETURN TO MXGP DUTY IN MAY
2019 motocross news
MXGP World Champion Jeffrey Herlings will step-up his physical training regime in the coming weeks in anticipation of a return to the saddle of his Red Bull KTM 450 SX-F in late April and FIM MXGP Motocross World Championship action shortly after.
The Dutchman made a visit to Munderfing and KTM Race HQ this week in Austria to plan a tentative schedule in the wake of a complex operation on his broken right foot. In consultation with the factory Red Bull KTM team, race management and medical experts Herlings could be riding his #84 machine by late April. Much depends on the healing process but the 24 year old is already able to train harder and with more flexibility after having his initial protective cast replaced three weeks ago.
The four-times World Champion is certain to miss Grands Prix in Britain, Holland and Italy (four rounds in total) but will then hopefully be counting the days until he can again be behind a FIM World Championship gate, and join his Red Bull KTM teammates with Tony Cairoli and Jorge Prado currently holding the red plates of both MXGP and MX2 classes.
Jeffrey Herlings: “Rehab has been going very well and I cannot wait to be back and to throw a leg over the bike again. I want to be back at the GPs as quick as possible but we cannot say which race yet until I get some riding time. I’m also able to step-up my cycling and swimming now. For sure we’ll miss the next three rounds and we also don't want to rush things and risk a setback."
Robert Jonas, KTM VP of Offroad: “It is good to see that Jeffrey is making progress and we can perhaps see the end of this unfortunate injury that was so disruptive to our 2019 plans. It will be a big boost for us and the team to have Jeffrey back, fit and happy in MXGP. He is a very important rider for an important team for us in MXGP.”

The US market for motocross is tiny compared to the rest of the world.
Not to mention the sponsors expect things in return like hospitality options at races. In the world championship.
The AMA nationals just aren’t big enough
Uh.... try again
