you guys really should stop seeing things with double standards.
i just want to know why you think Herlings is
and why you think Martin is not
if i remember correctly both of them r about the same age both have 2 championships and both have a factory contract
for those who like a shitstorm of double standards
ready set go

And this thread will be a complete shitshow like all the other Herlings threads on these forums.
I just wanted to know why so many think Herlings is and yet fail to say Martin is also if you r looking in that perspective
thats why i said the double standard thingy
The Shop
First year was 2012 outdoors.
Won outdoor title 2014, 2015
5 seasons in the class.
Definitely moving up next year.
Herlings is 21. Born 94.
First year in Gps was 2010.
Won it 2012, 2013
7 seasons in clas
Jeffrey is going for 500 MX2 wins.
i dont think everyone needed it but i'm glad you think that way
why should people be made step up anyway ? what if you don't like riding a 450 what wrong with staying on a 250 ? .
it seams strange to me the they put max ages on lower classes but no minimum age on so called top class .
and 2014 and 2015 because of serious injury's
I personally think that Jeffrey made a good and wise decision in staying in lites this year considering he's coming back from a serious injury
built up stamina and speed again and then go battle with the big boys when you r 100% fit and Healthy
Look sandbagger up on wiki- has a picture of him staring back at you.
Or down this way, milking it.
I understand Herlings not moving up this year after two years of injury... I think he could have before though, and yeah he's young, but here's the thing that most people would calling him a sandbagger because of...he's been young and a minute out front for a long time.
You definitely can question if he's improving where he is... Is he getting stronger cruising around out front? Is he learning? Do what you like but it's not hard to see why people think he's cherry picking, he's got no comp.
My questions are: Is it his "fault" that he's winning by big margins quite often, or is it weak competition? There are so many class veterans (Tonkov, Anstie, ...) in MX2, why aren't they closer to him?
To me it seems he's pushing the whole race, trying to ride the best he can all the time. The others are broken mentally after 2 laps.
Get rid of the age rule and you have a couple 250 specialists giving him fits (Guillod, Tonus, ...).
Pit Row
1) Herlings will likely be compared to Rozcen for better or worse as far as time line of moving up. Not sure if Roczen pointed out of 250s but when he moved up he was considered a possible race winner.
2) I think it's safe to say the general opinion is that Herlings could contend for wins/championships in the 450 class in his first year. So that begs the question 'why race below your ability?'. Martin on the other hand, I do not believe the same general opinion is felt that he would contend for wins/championships in his first 450 year. While he is a great racer, he has not shown the domance in the class as Herlings has.
Just my opinion though.
They'll both have 3 titles after this year... They're both getting paid to race 250's and win...
I would have no problem if Herlings never moved up... The 250 class is not the minor league, that's what the
amateurs are for... I'm jealous of Herlings Bank Account...
I don't know if he's got the MX2 GP win record yet, but i'd assume so.
It's not because he's not American. There are plenty of American, Aussie and French riders that loads of people think are a douchebag. Because they've done, in those people's view, douchey things. Herlings is definitely in the i've-done-douchey-things category.
Post a reply to: please explain why Herlings is sandbagging and Martin is not
