They also faced off the
at the MXGP of the USA shortly thereafter, doing battle at WW Motocross Ranch where the pair of them swapped moto wins. It’s regularly debated among bench racers and fans worldwide which of the two is the fastest outright moto- crosser in the world, and the debate will finally be put to rest as the pair of them face off this year. Of course it’s a team sport in which the main focus should be on the best performing team, but the underlying narrative be- tween Tomac and Herlings is an incredibly interesting one. Each rider has won the two most prestigious 450 Motocross Championships in the world and on October 9th they’ll go head-to-head to prove which of them is the fastest rider in the world.
The cast of characters that will be in attendance doesn’t just stop with those two likely protagonists -- Antonio Cairoli, Ken Roczen, Clem- ent Desalle, Gautier Paulin, and many more will be vying for victory, producing some incredible racing no matter the outcome. The real win- ner is going to be the fans lining the fences, the moto- cross purists eagerly tuning in from around the world, and everyone that is able to witness one of the biggest motorcycle races in Ameri- can history. The Red Bud Pro National is already one of the rowdiest races of the year -- insert a win-starved, die-hard, relentless group of some of the country’s most intense and hardcore fans
-- it’s going to be one hell of a show.
