FULL MOTO. Jeffrey Herlings Challenges Eli Tomac in US Pro MX Debut | 2017 Ironman 450 Moto 1

Still one of the most talked about one off rides of all-time, Jeffrey Herlings came over to the AMA Pro Motocross Championship for the final round of the series in 2017 to try his hand at a Pro Motocross National. He walked into a conclusion of a title fight between Eli Tomac and Marvin Musquin where Tomac was perhaps managing to win the title at the Ironman National, but in this first moto of the day, Herlings and Tomac ended up together out front battling for the lead before Tomac ended up going down. That left a clear path for Herlings to lead every single lap of his Pro Motocross debut and take a head turning first moto victory. Check out how it happened!

@@theread3480 What a dumbass comment, last to 2nd is still insane...

[@berniecoles2337]

Americans like to think they’re the best at everything, but Jean Michelle Bayle at supercross, David Knight at Enduro and Jeffrey Herlings at Motocross disproved that. They’re the best in their own country, but are far from it out of it.

We hope Tomac show up in Europe and do some races! Maybe at Lommel! It would be nice!👍👍😊

Luckily for outdoor field, Herlings in 2017 was slower than in 2018. In 2021 he had not yet completely regained his level, although his comeback in Mantova 1 moto 1 is still one of the most insane things I have seen in recent years. I still think that if he finds his level again, even 2021 Jett would have very hard times to beat him

[@andreabrindesi6526]

I was in Mantova in 2021 Herlings dominated hands down.. But he s averaging he deserved more.

[@sergiocrescini6456]

From Italy, ciao ragazzi. Credo che Herlings abbia dimostrato in questa competizione, di essere paragonabile per velocità alla stregua di Ricki Carmichael, James Stewart, Ryan Villopoto, lo stesso Ely Tomac. Questo nel video è il 2017, in seguito ancora, se non fosse incappato in rovinose cadute con conseguenze fisiche disastrose, avrebbe potuto certamente vincere numerosi altri titoli mondiali. Lo stesso Roger de Coster, lo ha considerato il più veloce pilota di out door. Vedetevi anche la seconda manche di questo Iron Man del 2017, ne trarrete le Vostre conclusioni. Ciao a tutti.

[@omnibud2708]

Roto, thank you for not ruining the result with the title

[@der_Rote_1.0]

Best MXer vrom Europa

[@CaptainRedBeardarrr]

They clearly seen the video that kiwi guy made. It was epic but it was copyrighted. 2 million views in a month. It was so well narrated and entertaining. Gave a different narrative to to what USA would like to see.

[@jaysonroberts8651]

People always say they want to see a Herlings V.S. Tomac one on one race. But I want to see a Herlings V.S. Tomac V.S. Webb race. It seems like everyone forgets how Webb beat Herlings straight up before, granted they were still on 250s, but he beat him. Plus I think it was 2015 MxGP of America at Glen Helen, Webb gave Febvre a run for his money. That was his first time racing a 450 professionally. I think Webb will suprise people during outdoors now that he is back on a Star 450 rather than that crappy Monster Energy Chapparal Yamaha.

[@WrambleOn]

That was on a 250. Webb had been a non factor outdoors on a 450. Only one top 5 finish.

[@jorge_co]

en 2017, Herlings estaba imparable....

[@MrRacer7111]

The moment when Tomac shit himself((.

[@dungey62]

why does this channel always post the less entertaining Moto of that specific day. Actually disappointing in this specific race everyone knows the 2nd Moto win is better. not hating just be better whoever is choosing the races

[@RotoMoto]

They will all get posted. This was Herlings first moto, so technically a bigger milestone and the only one that has solid coverage of him battling with Eli (even if only for a few laps) which is what everyone wants/wanted to see. Moto 2 will also be up here soon, don't worry!

Not much of a challenge when tomac goes down as soon as he catches Herlings 😂😂😂

[@2216sammy]

Herlings knew Eli was never going to take a chance of throwing away his chip by going all out , Herlings should have raced Eli at the very start of the season . Smart guy

[@shaunmahoney8144]

Tomac crashed trying to keep up with him mate👍

[@thomaswayneward]

LOL. Tomac was killing himself and squirreling himself all over the place.

[@LeifTriumph]

Herling beat Tomac all dag long, 😊👍

[@DouweEgbert]

Like t the US GP ?? or the MXON in Redbudd ? oh wait he won them too

[@jamierobert8316]

​@@DouweEgbert 😂😂 👌 they like to pretend they never happened mate. Raced each other 7 times herlings beat him 6 and was chasing him down after bad start in one tomac won, but just run out of time.
