So the rumors have been circling lately and i have been holding off saying anything as it is not the first time this has been whispered. Due to injuries or championship commitments over the last few years, Herlings has failed to follow through on his dream of contending at the open event in the USA Lucas Oil Pro Motocross series. He has said countless times it's on his wish list but fate and circumstance has always kept him away...
but it has now been confirmed!!! # Herlings will race in the 450MX division on Saturday!!!!!
The news was on the tip of everyone's tongues yesterday as Herlings dropped a big hint about something special. As you can tell he is taking this VERY seriously and wanted to test a US spec AMA bike before making the final decision and going public. As it seems that went very well and Davey Coombs has confirmed it!! YES!! PUMPED!!

"We are thrilled that a multi-time FIM World Motocross champion like Jeffrey Herlings would take the opportunity of an open weekend in MXGP to come over and compete in the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship. For him to take on a challenge like this really shows his competitiveness as a racer. We can't wait to see him go up against Eli Tomac, Marvin Musquin and the rest of our championship contenders, then see Eli join Jeffrey's series next weekend with the MXGP of the USA. Both of these races will be very exciting to watch."
Ok so now the real talk... how will Herlings do? :) To be completely honest i don't care, I'm just pumped to see another world class KTM champion in the mix! Bring it ooonnnn!!

Great post. I am very like motorcross. When i was at senior hight school, i always play it as hobby in small arena
Awesome @nasrullahilyas! You are lucky indeed to have the chance to ride at that age. It's a magical time for family and one i am very jelous to have missed. I came into motocross as an adult as my family could not afford luxuries as this. Glad you enjoyed it mate :)
Thank you very much. For a long time i have not ride motorcross anymore. I am happy to see it at you.
