Lommel Secrets Revealed!? - How Does Jeffrey Herlings Do It!?!?

Jeffrey Herlings is often referred to as the fastest man alive. He is a 5x MXGP World Champion and rarely does interviews. I was fortunate enough to film a young Herlings at the McGrath ranch way back in 2013 but we haven't had any contact since then. From just that one shoot though I always knew Jeffery would make a hell of a podcast if we were ever able to make it happen and today is the day.
Jeff is not afraid to speak his mind and is honest not just about his strengths but also his weaknesses. We talk about sand, his relationship with Eli Tomac, his future plans and much more.

Yesterday he closed a 15 sec gap on prado and passes in 2 laps, herlings is the sandking .

[@ThisTall]

Is there a particular KZbin channel good for catching the specific circuts he’s racing?

[@strackmx3188]

@@ThisTallmxgp KZbin posts the highlights

[@georgelynch6139]

He was running 10 seconds a lap faster than Gajser those last 5 laps, 10 SECONDS!!!

[@Carpfishing4400]

It was a great ride but Prado had armpump by the looks of it. He was just cruising around when Herlings caught and passed him, you could see it in his riding and his positioning on the bike

[@georgelynch6139]

@@Carpfishing4400 Nope, Prado’s lap times we’re constantly fast just dropping off in traffic situations, considering that the Prado/Herlings relationship is not a love fest and Jorge actually came over to Jeffrey after the post race interview and congratulated him on the spectacle that happened that says alot. 👍

[@rayjansen6744]

Herlings is from another planet when it comes to sand riding. Had the honour to ride with him in Boekel a few years back. Track had a section with 2 single jumps followed bij a long bending right section with huge sand rollers. This man doubled the 2 singles and flew across the rollers going 50mph skipping half of them.

[@Kevin-yj4mi]

Bro that had to be some experience. That man is built different.

[@rayjansen6744]

@@Kevin-yj4mi It made me humble in a good way. At a sand track i would always be top 5 of the fastest guys on a practice day. At that moment i realised there was a huge amount of time still to gain on every inch of the track.

[@greks273]

better than lawrences

[@torr-michaelbennetta9785]

What an UNBELIEVABLE GP this past weekend. Bravo, Jeffrey. Well done.

[@Ivanoskyao]

Glad to see the Bullet back!

[@jordanmolinaro6507]

I want to watch him ride southwick, I'll have to bring my clipboard for some notes if he ever does outdoors in the US again

[@nathancrittenden8525]

People from the Netherlands like him and Belgium wouldn't even class southwick as a sand track lol

[@reubenst3]

Thats hard pack for him mate

[@georgelynch6139]

@@jordanmolinaro6507 Southwick would be considered a hard pack track for Jeffrey, he won a RedBull Knockout Beach race in his younger years, the guy poops sand😎 Take a look at the 2016 RedBull Knockout Beach race, probably the brutalist race known to man.

THE SAND MAN.......

[@joshsingleton3152]

Yes sir

[@michaelcarberry594]

He can tell me all the secrets he has. And I'll never tell anyone. Doesn't matter I will never ride like he does either.

[@cliftonpfleger9525]

Listen with both ears - why ? He has heart and passion for MX, name me another MX Rider that can do what he has done and will continue to do...........

[@davvframe3820]

Cairoli was still winning gp's at 37 and still is fast, maybe not as quick as him in the sand but his passion was/is just as big as herlings

[@wernerxldata]

@@davvframe3820 He’s 38 right now, he hasn’t raced a gp last year. His last gp win was in oktober 2021.

[@ScottBate]

Gypsy Tales got this with an old interview and the hater’s loved to hate!!!! Last round of MXGP and Jeffrey did exactly what he was saying in the interview the dude knew it and backed it up 😊 When will the haters learn that Gypsy is the man?

[@Cees1984]

Jeffrey, Bam 💨💨💪🏻💪🏻 Succes !

[@RustyyMann]

Is this just a repost of the podcast because of the Lommel race the other day?

[@seeker156]

Bullet will always have a place in my heart after watching him last to first at ironman in the US. Now Tomac had a championship to wrap up so he didnt chase him. I think Tomac could have made it a battle. A BATTLE.......not a win.

[@Dboy_2901]

I want to see him at Weston again but this time up against Todd Kellet

[@nest138]

Sick

[@shnboardman1]

He should stay in Europe, I think if he goes to the states and he doesn't win every American will say he wasn't that great and plus he is 30. He is an amazing rider

[@regnars7]

He has already raced in America at Ironman in 2017, and he was fastest in both practises and motos

[@zee.___moose941]

He won't beat jett. His words not mine he said he wants no part of the jettson.i don't blame him jets about to hit his prime and he's closer to the end than the beginning. I'd like to see 2018 herlings vs Jett tho

[@jamierobert8316]

Prime herlings beats everyone. Untouchable when at his best.

[@DBENTLEY369ig]

Come over. 1 year of outdoor in America Supercross you get your doors blown off.

[@carisi2k11]

So why don't you go and do some supercross like Jorge did this year.

[@jaybee8786]

He’s already said he sucks at supercross and that’s where the money is over here. In Europe he’s paid well to ride MX all year why leave.

[@georgelynch6139]

@@carisi2k11 Why? He’s never trained or has any interest in that genre, better question is why don’t the Merican SX riders who also grew up riding the outdoors come over to Europe and compete against Jeffrey?

[@rodneyharrison8064]

Don't give em your secrets

[@ryanhenderson5859]

Maybe he learnt that technique from jett using time travel 😂😂😂

[@kasperd131]

"Riding in sand is not difficult. You just have to know how to do it" I meeeeean, does this not apply to everything there is in life? xD
