Jorge Prado talks about Jeffrey Herlings secrets to his speed – passing backmarkers and his physical strength, plus the Spanish world champ talks about the honest conversation they both had with each other at the MXoN and how Herlings was his motivation to stay in MXGP the last few seasons.
“I think he makes the difference with the lappers, I drop laptimes just because there are people on track, he can hammer those laps when there are people in between, that’s an advantage and a skill he has and it’s incredible.”
“I told Jeffrey, you are the motivation I am still here in GPs, when I signed my first 450 contract, I signed because I wanted to beat Jeffrey, that was the only goal. My goal was to beat Jeffrey and then the championship, but first Jeffrey. I told Jeffrey thanks, because you were my motivation all this time, you were the guy I always looked too in the GPs, I need to beat this guy.
“So fast, I feel like he rides the bike very good, he’s aggressive he rides in a different way but if you look carefully he does very nice things. He looks aggressive but at the same time he is smooth, it’s hard to explain if you see him turning he is is so smooth but he is hard on the throttle, but he is smooth kind of, I always look up to him.”
