He went down in the second moto at some stage as well.
Won a moto at the last GP, so I think he is ok now.
He entered Lommel with 92 points gap on second position (Desalle) and he exited Lommel with 99 points advantage (Herlings) and one less race to go.
No wonder why he did not push till the end of the moto (and he still got the fastest lap of the weekend).
Cairoli hasn't got it in the bag by a long shot, and, as I wrote before, he sure as hell shouldn't do a Herlings. As in, get hurt, and lose a good lead.
As Herlings said himself, AC got Ottobiano, he got Lommel. As AC said, Herlings was better today, with massive motivation to win, and he has a Title to think about.
Both pretty complimentary about each other.
Dirty riding? Pretty bloody mild, to me. Their lines came together in the first incident, then Herlings 'played', and then AC, and so on.
Malin hating Herlings - he gives him plenty of admiration.
I think a fair few here may need to go find some tiddly wink matches to watch, if you are stressed by all the rough riding and bad men not loving your particular favoured rider, at all times.
And, as ever, with nearly every bloody post by fans of one or another rider, we get if, if, and ever more bloody Ifs.
What has happened, happened - no amount of If'ing and bleating can ever change things. Grow the fuck up!
Good racing, on a brutal track, is what I saw.
Todays race was awesome , a dog fight between the 2 best sand riders , didnt see any real dirty moves , let em race
Questions about herlings fitness no longer needed , as in second moto he had more gas as Cairoli ..who had to settle for second and looked gassed , making a lot of mistakes and dropping anchor . Not seen it happen this season with Cairoli
He definitely backed it off after a few mistakes, Herlings had nothing to lose and everything to gain.

The 2 things that beat Herlings at Lombardia was a stomach bug & the heat.
The Swiss GP should be good but what will likely change? Cairoli doesn't need to win, doesn't need to fight 100%. If it was a points chase, different story, but 2nd place is 99 points down. It's lost it's luster, it's over. We're hanging on to Herlings getting poor starts, the pride of Cairoli to fight or Gasjer and Febvre stepping up to make it interesting.
Roll on 2018, until then there's gonna be a bunch of had the 2017 championship started at x, the points would be...
You've already replied in this vein on this topic bro, even though I stated 'Herlings was the better man' previously.
Jeeze, selective sight is shite!
AC still the king for me though and I'm sure he wants as many GP wins as possible. If he knows he is faster than anybody in front he's going to go by !
