Enjoy a snippet of the podcast above, then listen to the full show on your favorite platform.

[@bradn1559]

Totally respect Herlings for his Honesty! Takes a real man to admit weaknesses

[@Sleepy.Time.]

i sure hope we see Jeffrey race in the US a few more times

[@zee.___moose941]

He's too scared.maybe a old Jeff or if everyone is injured but nowadays? Nope

[@Sleepy.Time.]

@@zee.___moose941 not sure about scared unless you mean of supercross, would like to see him vs Jett and Chase at Lommel since the US has no real sand tracks these days

[@zee.___moose941]

@@Sleepy.Time. oh no he's already said he scared of whoops. I'm talking a neutral track ,redbud or southwick or unadilla. I'm not even a Jett fan I can't stand him but Jeffreys best days are behind him

[@BentonFilms]

@@zee.___moose941 Bro you sound like you hate on any one just because they're not from America. Don't confuse scared with matured.

[@zee.___moose941]

@@BentonFilms naw I'm sick of the whole we struggled so hard in Europe eating ramen everyday story. U were 10 years old racing a dirt bike around the world Lawrence bros.they don't grasp how many kids wanna race dirt bikes and cant

[@Bennytree]

Herlings is a likable guy now. Great interview. BEast on a bike! C'mon over Mate. We'd love to see you race in the US

[@Davido50]

Agreed 👍🏻 100% . -Ohio 🇺🇸

[@michaeltaylor7146]

The older Herling gets the more I like him!🤘🤘 He has done some great interviews over the years!

[@williamsulcer5101]

Man there's no BS with jeffrey

[@Kawiboy]

Gotta love Jeffery 💪👊✊✌️😉

[@motofreak2772]

I don’t think anyone makes 4.5M racing only outdoors in the US either. So MXGP guys actually get paid pretty well. Probably on par with SX.

[@Thjonsson1]

This was in his Championship year. But yes if you’re the best of the best you Will make good money No matter the series

[@dekancaine]

I’d say after gear deals and everything like he is counting they be close if not more. He said that is what he earned including everything race related that year

[@Parko2017]

Great interview it's like two mates chewing the fat over a beer!

[@yoryo350mx]

This interview was awesome. Will love to see him race in America.

[@zealobiron]

Wow, love hearing the humility and respect he has different types of racing

[@smokemboe1876]

It gives me alot of confidence 😨 hearing a professional motocross rides saying there scared to hit jumps at 30 yrs old 😩😩😩 im over here shaking in my boots on 30 foot doubles at 39 😂😂😂

[@moto3463]

More Lewis pls

[@Davido50]

Definitely like to see Jeffrey race in the US ..in a few Supercross races & DEFINITELY some outdoors in '24. We are fans of you Jeffrey! -NY 🇺🇸

[@dank3823]

Everything is more expensive in America and you have to pull through supercross to be considered anything. Compared to a top F1 driver pulling 60 million a year, motocross racers don't get paid squat.

[@NickyP902]

Really wish this podcast had video

[@lizzydog5728]

C'mon Jeffrey!! We Believe in your Skills and Cant wait for you to race SMX??

[@MrIke303]

I guarantee you, if Herlings wins 2024 MXGP and came to America to race outdoors 2025, dude would absolutely challenge Jett. No question about it. Would he win the title? Maybe, maybe not. But he would absolutely get a few wins. That guy is THE BEST MX rider maybe of all time. Injuries set him back, which is truly unfortunate. He’s as tough as they come though. That race where he was landed on, broken shoulder blade, and came back to win the moto was INSANE! Does anyone remember when he was last at Iron Man and still whooped everyone’s ass? I truly hope he comes to the US and finishes out his career. If he wins 2024 MXGP, he’s done enough over there.

[@smokingbonesvisuals702]

i like herlings honesty

[@CaddyJim]

Why didn't *Jeffrey* look at a guy he used to race in the 250s even beat him a couple times *Dylan Ferrandis* who racked up a couple championships Supercross on the 250 & then got a 450 championship outdoors

[@nathancrittenden8525]

Herlings is the best motocross rider ive ever seen and ive seen them all but i think hes right these boys been riding supercross from no age leave it alone

[@derekbentley334]

That 150k cost around $300. Gold hub and the carbon pipes

[@derekbentley334]

I'd give $150,000 for the season weather that's 1 lap or 12 races

[@zealobiron]

Boy does smx need a spot for a guest rider, a gp champion sure would fit the bill

[@youngyarnzy777]

Would be good to see him race in the states a few years and Russel some feathers and stack some coin

[@motofreak2772]

He literally says don’t underestimate SX and then the guy proceeds to underestimate SX… clearly it’s not just about the money when you risk serious injury. And with a guy like Herlings he definitely won’t race if he isn’t competing to win. Just a dumb suggestion all around.

[@stumpy21]

I agree it really must suck only making 4.5 million.😑😑😑

[@CaddyJim]

I bet *Red Bull KTM* would pay *Jeffrey* handsomely to race just *MX* next year & race the *SMX* playoffs. Their *US* team will only have *Aaron Plessinger & Chase Sexton* for *2024 MX*

[@Realhighlife]

I wish he was in the USA racing

[@chicobicalho5621]

Wild to think how much more money Max Verstappen makes, in fact nowadays he earns those 4,5 million per race, more likely. All the while being a lot safer from injury than Herlings is. And both are the best at what they do in their respective racing category, which happens to be the top end.

[@michaeltaylor7146]

I believe KTM somehow has to get Herlings to America next year 2024! I know it a probably impossible with contracts etc but could you imagine!! Jett, Tomac, Herlings, Sexton, Ferrandis!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@vitalmx]

Herlings is slated to race in MXGP for two more seasons, 2024 and 2025. He has stated that after this contract, he'd like to do one season of American Pro Motocross before retiring. (2026)

[@31Daca]

I wonder what Jett earned so far this year just in bonuses with motocross. 100k x 9 races probably 11 if he goes 22-0. Million just in bonuses(haha) plus championship bonus and contract salary. I'm guessing around 3-4 million just this outdoor season with all sponsors combined plus championship and bonuses. Not bad!!

[@leemsadventures1007]

Homie really aint trying to fu*k with them whoops.😮

[@derekbentley334]

Belief that happens? Stewart rolls out for another proving points season

[@dunch711]

I feel like your tracks are badass compared to ours and Mxgp is so much more official

[@dane947]

Just like many many non-US based MX/SX riders before him, he could have came to the US and raced. Anytime he wanted. It was his decision to race MXGP, and he knew this when picking his career path.

[@mxcoolman]

Yes, but as a motocross only rider he would make less money in America! He is a Motocross racer.....Not a supercross racer.

[@dekancaine]

@@mxcoolmanbut neither are American guys until they turn pro. Here Lately u got futures. But not so long ago u didn’t get that u just had to show up and start racing supercross. He has the same opportunity to build a practice track as anyone

[@mxcoolman]

@@dekancaine He doesn't feel comfortable doing it and its too late to learn now. He is a Motocross racer

[@derekbentley334]

Before round 2 he would have 4.5 in endorsements

[@postmortemspasm]

I think he should come to the US. He's proven his point in MXGP. He's not going to win any more championships with the way Prado is going. He'll get more money finishing 3rd behind Lawrence and Sexton in AMA than he gets finishing 2nd-5th in MXGP like he's doing now.

[@Keesveerman]

Do you think he is stupid haha, he have a very big contract the best payed mxgp rider.

[@lolorodriguez8946]

Quiero a Jeffrey coriendo en estados unidos

[@dustinscheller7795]

Stewart said he made 10 million a year back on his TV show

[@blakethompson6051]

Stew's last year he won both championships he brought in over 10M

[@dekancaine]

And the money is much better now , but dollar isn’t worth as much now either lol

[@krajor9433]

Hold up, the Americans for sure know how good they have it. Name one rider who willingly wants to go to the GP series ever? The only Americans that go over there are because they have no other option, not because they want to.

[@1176hambone]

Bigger marketing budget. The real question is can an MXGP top 20 rider make a decent living?

[@Keesveerman]

No they have to pay to ride 😅

[@derekbentley334]

Just like being a sandbagging rookie at your 1st national. Race C practice with Pro am

[@mbfyyjderhjkVvv]

I feel better knowing one of the best outdoor racers of all time doesn’t like supercross style whoops either

[@petermoody3526]

So why didnt he go

[@aarontaylor9805]

Lol seemed like the interviewer wasn't getting the answer he wanted so just kept trying

[@DCSPEED23]

The interviewer can't handle that Jeffery would be mid pack in supercross

[@erod781]

i don't know a lot about Herlings but why didn't he come over and race here in the US? what has stopped him? also, aren't purses are bigger here simply because more people watch it?

[@mike-ku3ut]

because the promoters are greedy...

[@gildo101rossi]

Whoops. I’ve seen vids of young Herlings saying it was always his dream to come race in America think it was one of the Moto movies, maybe Moto 4? but he went over when he was 16-17 & got banged up practice whoops a lot & it put him off. Few vids of it somewhere.

[@TheJimSWE]

One think Americans is really good at is promoting things. That’s what mxgp has to do or they will lose good riders to AMA.

[@DonnyBerger]

THESE BILLION DOLLAR CORORATIONS (HONDA,YAMAHA,KTM,ECT.) SHOULD PAY THE RIDERS MORE! PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@devineunlimited6800]

Haha cool clip

[@mike-ku3ut]

so many top 450 riders are out, hurt badly...no wonder riders are questioning if the money is worth it Nobody wants to end their riding in a wheelchair

[@ploglet]

He should do it then. Just like the Americans not wanting to live in Europe, the Euro's dont want to live in the US. So if you want the $, then move over and do it.

[@derekbentley334]

Outdoors 150k

[@dekancaine]

So he admits he’s not even close to the best. America #1. Even a none supercross track smx which is not even close to full supercross he be lucky to be top 10 with a full gate of American guys that started the season this year.

[@georgecarmel6114]

Don't forget the taxes on winnings, the government gets it's share.

[@derekbentley334]

SMX championship? It could even happen with KTM

[@rickystafford7433]

99% of people who ride a dirtbike will never make a $1 from it so i don't think he has anything to be jealous over lol

[@donbrashsux]

Don’t do SX Jeff .. it ends Careers .. outdoor Mx needs you

[@nathancrittenden8525]

I agree he's the best motocross rider I've ever seen but leave that supercross alone

[@chicobicalho5621]

Curious that MotoGP is such a big money maker, F1 is such a huge money maker, but MXGP is not. I wonder if whomever manages it is not following the Bernie Ecclestone guidebook

[@gildo101rossi]

MotoGP is bigger than motocross that’s why. Most rounds have 100,000 odd people turn up to watch. You won’t get that at any AMA or MXGP

[@tankeater]

MXGP is 18 events while AMA is now 31... Dude actually said it's easier 🤣🤦‍♂️ AND, almost double the money, with almost double the races. LMFFFAAAOOO

[@jpesicka999]

I heard him say Supercross was tough and he wasn’t good at it. I think he just think’s the MXGP is tougher than AMA Pro Motocross in terms of the tracks and the prep. But I have been the the outdoor Nationals here the tracks are rutted as shut so maybe his Ironman experience was different idk I’ve never been to Ironman but the closest to me is Fox/Pala and it gets nasty.

[@tankeater]

@@jpesicka999 I live about 45 minutes from Fox Raceway and you are correct... But I'm talking about AMA and so was he. 17 races are SX, that's what you have to race if you want to race all of AMA. But you talk about prep like it's harder in MXGP but even like Herlings said, he can't race the same bike he races. AMA has more guidelines to what you can do to your frame. He just rocks what they do every year at each track, but AMA riders are ALWAYS making little clicks depending on the track and conditions

[@LewisPhillips71]

@@tankeater Jeffrey spent the entire interview giving Jett and Eli RIDICULOUS respect. Way more than he needed to. You are way off base.
