Weckman’s bike didn’t start anymore in the waiting zone and they couldn’t get it running in time. 2nd in the championship and then that happens, what a bummer.

Herlings 7sec lead after the first lap. He is really coming in to form. This is not good for everyone else. Im getting flashbacks to the mx2 days

Herlings is ridiculously fast right now. Lapping 5 seconds faster than anyone.

thats what he did last week at Dutch nationals .. 5 sec a lap faster , he looks better as ever before .. won both moto's with almost 1,5 minute lead over Anstie, Paulin etc .Looks like only Herlings can beat Herlings

Herlings reminds me of Everts except on steroids.

Holy shit riding around feet on the pegs 3-5 seconds a lap faster.

Best laptime 1:51.0
Next best is Cairoli (who rode an amazing race by the way, if you don't compare it to Herlings): 1:55.0

Holy crap

Anyone who argues that Herlings isn't the fastest guy in the world is a dummy. Seriously, how is someone that much faster than the elite guys? It's phenominal.

Jeffrey has never had much of an issue doing this though ... His issue has been doing this and remaining injury free...... something that AC222 has a much better record with

I think Jeffrey has been very consistent and not riding over his head the last 2-3 seasons. Right?
