Those same big mouths ignored the MXoN a couple weeks later, where Herlings was top rider overall.

Let's not kid ourselves: Herlings came to Indiana to make a statement. "I was fastest all day, 100%." He wasn't screwing around.

And you're correct, in the second moto Herlings blew by the Americans like they were backmarkers -- on their own soil, on their own track, on their own bikes with their own fuel, and ... with their own talent levels. The only guy who could mix it up with Herlings at all was Musquin, another FIM guy, and he was over the edge trying to keep that pace.

Americans need Roczen back. No, wait ... he's an FIM guy too.



Haven't Marv and Roczen been racing AMA longer than they were in the GP's? Don't think they are FIM guy's anymore. Is Reed an FIM guy still? Besides that Roczen and MM got handled pretty easily when they came over they didn't do what Jeffrey did yest. They had to adapt, Roczen was a 4th place guy his first season

Couldn't resist. A year ago 10 pages of big mouths that webb beat herlings in 1 single moto. After celebrating his long awaited title because of horrible injuries.

And know webb completed a full mx season with how many moto wins? Herlings got 2 moto wins lol. And he passed him yesterday like webb was on a stock bike or something

We should revisit this thread next week after the USGP in FL.

No title on the line for Tomac or Herlings. On a neutral track neither of them have ridden. The only one there that will probably play it safe is AC222.

So yeah....lets see what happens this next week.

And btw...I think Kenny and Marv both have had more pro racing in AMA then the FIM.

Both needed to get faster here to contend for titles. And they are both huge additions to our series. They like it better here to...just ask them.

His first season in that class, he came to America in 2012 and finished fourth in the outdoor 250's, and he finished runner up to Tomac in 2013. In 2014, his rookie season in the 450 class, he won the title.
