Being that I got extended to 6pm working today, sighs, listened to the pulp show and heard DV say he hasn't seen anyone impress him since RV. Lets debate on why its been a while since and who is your pick as the next guy to have that untouchable riding ability.
Im thinking....
Forkner
Cooper
Tomac
Roczen
Hill
Plessinger?
AC?
Herlings and AC in MX?
Someone coming out of the ranks? This is truly hard, seems like everyone does the same stuff nowadays, riding style wise and are too worried about making money surviving or maybe our sport has grown some true parity.....
But then you have Reed who covered these guys just last year in ARZ at 35...

The Shop
Haiden Deegan.
Still a long ways from the pro ranks but they're on the right track with great support.
For me, it's Herlings. If he can stay healthy I can see him winning a bunch of titles. Herlings also has the balls to pull a Villopoto and come to the states and run our series for a year toward the end of his career. Don't forget what he did to our guys last year when he borrowed a bike to race here...
These are true champions who fight until the end.
I haven't seen anyone like the above since, Webb did have that god mode during 250's if he gets it together he might be up there, however all of the above destroyed on debut... both classes.
I think its the current climate of technology and upbringing that has changed this for some reason, I can't quite put my finger on it.
I've been watching RC vs JS battles recently there really hasn't been anything like that in years nor the speed, I personally watch this sport for pure talent and determination I don't care if they win every race making it a "boring" series for me thats not boring watching someone at those heights is something special.
The only young rider currently who has these traits is Jeffery Herlings.
I thought Tomac was gonna be that guy but it's hard to watch someone who doesn't seem to want it, I saw race I think it was in 2009 when James ate shit over the bars, he tried to get back on his bike and fell over due to pain and what not, he got back on the bike started setting the fastest laps and from memory got his way back up to 8th.
Pit Row
He beat him yes, but I also remember Lawrence catching RJ and almost passing him in the end of the moto. Then there are these rumors that he had a crap bike last year which I don't know is true or not, but some said Seewer was given way better possibilities by Suzuki
In Europe, AC kind of has showed the way already and won't be around for that long anymore. Herlings has the chance to take over in the GPs and go on to win titles like Everts and AC IF he stays healthy.
But, back on topic. (Sport changing) Talents in my eyes could be the Lawrence brothers and Prado. So much raw talent these guys have. Normally i only go to the sand GP's, but I have been to Loket last year, which is a really technical track, and as a fan it was awesome to see how much talent/technique these guys have.
It's funny, people complained for years that there was always one rider dominating the sport. Now that we finally have some parity, people are so desperately looking for the next 'superstar'.
