Herlings needs to come race the pro outdoor nationals in the US!

[@OtisFlint]

One of the only guys who has anything for Jett, although after all the injuries he's past his prime.

[@woodman4989]

He did. He kicked everyones ass a few years ago.

[@Deezz1212]

Or man up and show up at Anaheim 1.

[@terratrodder]

Yes! Couple seasons at least, that would be great.

Much respect for Herlings. Love to see this guy come to the states and race a full season.

[@roninjester3946]

i'm 52, i've done a lot of racing and even more watching over those years--and from all the amazing legends I've been privileged to see compete--and the list is just immense when i sit and ponder it--Jeffery Herlings is my all time favorite.

[@curtiscollins2174]

Much respect for this man and his honesty.

[@riderrm2505]

Damn a straight up dude ! We need some of that in the USA!

[@LewisPhillips71]

Did you listen to the full podcast? There's a lot more honest stuff than this!

[@211Roberts]

Great interview Lewis, thank you for effort getting this information to the fans. Also, have to say that I love how honest and open Jeffrey has always been, doesn't feel the need to sugar coat anything!

[@GeddyRC]

No ego with this guy, in a sport filled with the most ridiculous egos. Love Jeff Herlings, mad cool guy and man he smokes everyone.

[@johndunn9819]

What i remember (as an American) was Herlings showing up at the end of the season (2018?) and went straight to the front of the pact. I was like, 'who is he and where did he come from?'. I became an instant fan.

[@chicobicalho5621]

[@iikavanaghii]

Up there with one of the best riders to do it. He is the definition of hard work and not giving a shit. Jeff is all output and no excuses.

He’s such a real character.. mx world needs Herlings

[@HillBilly1905]

The more I watch and listen to Herlings the more I like the guy. He is great for the sport and builds the hype around motocross everywhere. Thank you Lewis for the great interview.

"I'm not doing anything wrong and shit keeps happening." Bro you've just described racing in a nutshell. If everyone quit because something happened that was out of your control and wasn't your fault, there'd by nobody left on the track.

Soooooo awesome

Absolute artist on the bike.

[@Outlaw53james]

Truly a great champion...by any standards.

[@CaddyJim]

Great interview but I would take issue with what Tony said he wasn't training like he should he's older at the end of his career he wasn't making excuses he was being bluntly honest. (We should be happy he was still racing & gave her Herlings a battle) When it comes to how MX2 races are valued less. I don't think that's coming from fans but from other top Riders. They say the same thing in the US they don't think 125/250 Wins or championships are on par with the premier 250/450 class. (But there are plenty of other Riders who would love to win a 250 race let alone 250 championship)

[@djjazzyjeff1232]

7:12 YEAH tell em Jeff! Love the candidness about that, he's 100% right, to win either class at the professional level is a gnarly achievement, idc who you think you are.

[@LewisPhillips71]

Make sure that you listen to the full podcast! This is nothing compared to the other 110 minutes...

[@jamieallen5313]

Your a living Ledgend Jeff Give em heeps 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@THEMOTOCROSSGRAVEYARD]

Legend.

[@davethomas7881]

tbh jeffrey makes mxgp exciting to watch his last five minuites of the early season motos were great to watch catching the leaders by four seconds a lap come on guys who else does that? without jeffrey in mxgp i dont think i would bother watching it anymore.

[@henrychinaski8554]

Sounds like he's in a good place which is scary for the competition

[@shawnangle6204]

I like this guy. Loved the interview. I heard that he may come to the states to run the last round of the American outdoor series. I hope that happens. I will be there and I will cheer him on!

[@LewisPhillips71]

Make sure that you listen to the full podcast! Jeffrey explains his USA racing schedule...

[@puch7261]

yea it gets to your head when ur training for hrs and the other competition is jus sitting back chillin amd hes on ur ass race day but itll catch up to him later. he dont give a shit becuz hes been there many times and now its regular hrs for him and hes ready to enjoy life he needs a break and then come back.

[@stringbender247]

The reason people complain about his MXGP2 results is because the rules were obviously changed more than once to benefit him. Nobody is saying he wasn't the best or didn't win,but he was supposed to move up and the rules were changed for him and then changed back afterwards. Thats what people have issues with those years he clearly padded his win total against much lower competition and he knows it LoL

[@jasoncee666]

Why the heck are there captions 🤔

[@zatourix4462]

Want to see a Big battle herlings vs tomac vs Jett vs Sexton.

[@richvanevery3]

Dutch. Boss. Keep it real always. God speed

[@raymondsuarez4036]

You heard he's scared of losing he is lightning fast would be amazing to see

[@Jimmyr689]

Love him or hate him man can ride and he speaks his mind. He went to America and showed them how the Europeans do it on a us track.

[@daltonturner3113]

Him saying he hasn't got passed this year is wild, he got passed by like 3 or 4 guys both motos at one of the rounds, don't remember which one but it was like round 3 or 4

[@LewisPhillips71]

He was trying to reference a specific instance, because he goes on to talk about Febvre and Renaux passing him.

[@michaelwinder822]

Fuckinlove that bloke!!

What an inspiring joy to watch that BADASS Ride a Dirt Bike

hahah he ain't Schooling jettson ,Jett only races at 80 percent ,Herlings would get wrecked

Very entertaining good English ( he means if u like me good if not u can’t say I haven’t put the effort in )

Ricky Carmichael and James Stewart never made excuses... In fact a LOT of American riders don't make false excuses.

[@rickvonderchek6898]

He says what he think doesn’t bs like other riders

for those who comment on the mx2 wins, remember in the 90s riders would all hop around classes every year. the only comment i have is that they raced one moto where as now theres 2

[@shaunsavage1726]

I'd be 1991 all over again. Remember jmb.

[@johntomasik1555]

Edit: I'm on my 2nd listen...lol. Funny hearing the whiners about how long it is. Uh, when you're doing chores around the house, put in some ear buds, and listen. It isn't hard.....well, for the few it isn't. For the masses, eh, that's another thing. Oh, and anyone downplaying MXGP2 or 250 titles, well, go out and get one, if it's so easy. I listened to the full interview, and it was fantastic. I've purchased the MXGP package last year and two years prior, and I just couldn't get into the races because I knew so little about the guys racing (other than Herlings and Cairoli). I think more interviews of MXGP riders from VitalMX/Phillips as in depth/content rich as the Herlings one might bring in more listeners from the States. If I really got to "know" the racers like I felt I got from the Herlings interview, I'd subscribe to that MXGP package and be able to relate to the races. Also, I don't understand those who dislike Herlings. The guy's one of the great MXGP racers. I still hope he'll pull the plug on MXGP within the next couple of years and do the entire US Nationals series. Last year, it was great seeing Cairoli at Thunder Valley. Nothing like seeing a legend MX'er, regardless where they're from.

[@LewisPhillips71]

That's coming up! I'm going to miss Unadilla/Budds Creek to travel around Europe gathering more of this information.

i trained 4 5 6 hours a day haha thats why european is separated from america motocross bro i ski for 6h a day at winters and im nothing xD

[@ronaldtravis970]

JH84 should just come to America 🇺🇸 It would be Epic 👍

[@jameshermes5576]

Best European rider for awhile .Didnt he come to an American mx event and beat everyone

[@ScottAllenSparks]

I don’t buy into the notion that MXGP is so much better than American motocross. This whole debate on weather herlings is better than the US guys at motocross is silly. The US guys don’t even view motocross as their number 1 series. The US cares more about supercross. So the guys in the US don’t train as much for moto as herlings has so of course herlings is probably a little bit better at times. However, The fact that Tomac and Webb have done pretty good against herlings throughout the years in motocross should be an indicator of how good US guys are with limited motocross training. Imagine them only focusing 100% of their year on motocross. Then maybe herlings would get his ass beat by US guys on the regular.

[@LFoxo-gn4kb]

Or maybe you’re making excuses for the US guys? Ifs and buts. At face value, when Herlings lines up against US guys, he wins more often than not. When he’s raced against US guys it’s usually at the end of the AMA outdoors season anyway so they’ve had plenty of recent MX training and racing but Jeffrey is just faster

[@ScottAllenSparks]

@@LFoxo-gn4kb lol. Ok, let’s see herlings line up at a supercross race where the US guys are at their best and see how good his skills are instead of just pinning it around the track. We’ll never see that of course lol. You can try and tell me until I’m blue in the face how you think the MXGP guys are better but I’m not buying it. 👍🏻

[@LFoxo-gn4kb]

@@ScottAllenSparks I should’ve clarified, I don’t necessarily think that MXGP guys are better than US, I just think that Herlings is better than the US guys of his generation. He is a generational talent, just like Jett Lawrence. That’s just my opinion.

[@ScottAllenSparks]

@@LFoxo-gn4kb I can agree with you that herlings is a talented rider. The only way to find out if he’s better than the US guys is to get healthy and come to the states in 2024 for the FULL motocross season and race a healthy Jett, sexton and Tomac( I say Tomac because I think if he does well in supercross i think he’ll line up for motocross too). That needs to happen.

[@LFoxo-gn4kb]

@@ScottAllenSparks I agree, it absolutely needs to happen.
