And to think of all the adversity hes faced and injuries hes had to endure yet can make hes way back to the front is mind blowing... he may never win 10 world titles, but a prime Stefan Everts would be no match for The Bullet

[@jamihiltonmusic]

I would like to see Herlings on a different bike and team. I wonder if he could still be champion and at the same pace. It's like what Rossi did was on Handa for 4yrs and changed to Yamaha and still won the world title 2004. And said a champion is tested by change.

JH is the Motocross GOAT bar all other riders including the egotistical Americans. GP's and 5 World Championships, name an American who has met this factoid, NONE.

[@jroad100]

First of all he only has 2 MXGP championships and 70% of those wins were in MX2 so it's a completely invalid comparison. It's pretty hard to call him the GOAT when Everts and Cairoli have way more wins and championships in MX1/GP than Herlings. He also has roughly the same number of MXGP wins as Gajser and 2 championships to Gajser's 4 in the same era. If you want to compare American riders Ricky Carmichael had 7 - 450 MX championships and 5 Supercross titles with 150 career wins. This was done in a 10 year career, less than Herlings currently. This puts him drastically ahead of Herlings statistically. I'm a Herlings fan but he's got a long way to go before entering the GOAT conversation. He might one day but not yet.

​@@cliftonpfleger9525 By "world" you mean Europe right? There are basically no riders in the "world championship" from North America, South America, Asia, Africa or Australia? The US series ends up pulling in riders from all over the world and they are usually the top prospects from Europe and other countries, Marvin Musquin, Ken Roczen, Christophe Pourcel, Tom Vialle to name a few fairly recent names. These guys were all MX2 champions that race in the US currently. If you think the FIM world championship competition is so much better have a look at 2 time MX2 champ Tom Vialle's results in the US. I think there are great European riders in MXGP also but to claim that because you call something "world championship" that it's the most important is ridiculous.
