I saw that. Also saw where Herlings was considering it as well, but obviously decided not to unless that's still on the table... ???

Should be interesting.

Should be interesting.

Yeah, curious what Cairoli can do, but if Herlings came and ran the entire series, I could definitely see him being possible champ. Of course this is off limited data from an American track standpoint, but he looked unstoppable when he came to Ironman a few years ago. Sure, ET3 wasn't going to throw the title away to beat him, but....

I don’t know how well he will do versus all the young bucks. He’s pretty old and definitely ain’t in his prime as much anymore. He’s still fast but I don’t see him dominating and winning everything.

No, not Carioli, but Herlings is a different story...

If he brings his wife, I may go to a race just watch her.
I think him coming over is cool. Bucket list racing is awesome. More guys should do that

I dunno, I bet he wins the damn title.

Antonio Cairoli says while he will definitely do the first two US Motocross rounds this season, he could do more and wants to race more US rounds at the end of the year ahead of the MXoN at Red Bud, that would see the Italian get to ride with the number one plate after Italy's win last year...

Yeah, heard he is having some issues healing up from a surgery on hit foot/ankle and may need another surgery. Bummer for him. Is how the decline can start...
