Two Dutchmen - The Video

A very cool old Red Bull video, as "The Bullet" Jeffrey Herlings, surpasses Stefan Everts' record with 102 Grand Prix victories. RedBull explore how talent is identified, nurtured and utilised to achieve greatness. Also some very cool footage of 2024 MX2 World champion Kay De Wolf, learning from the Dutch King at the Arnhem training facility.

Being that they raced each other last weekend in Valkenswaard, with Herlings going 2-1 and De Wolf 1-2. No doubt, once De Wolf defends his MX2 championship in 2025, the two might end up meeting in the 2026 MXGP championship. Now, wouldn't that be a tasty season for Dutch motocross.

A nice story as De Wolf and Herlings speak about racing eachother and Herlings says, "You don't have to beat me in MXGP, by that time you are in MXGP, I am sitting in the sun somewhere."

Also great comments from De Wolf and also former trainer of Herlings and current trainer of De Wolf, Ruben Tureluren give some great insight into the two champions.

Of course, De Wolf became the first Dutchman, without the name Herlings to win a World title since Pedro Tragter back in 1994, when he cleaned up the 2024 MX2 World title.

De Wolf: For sure, Jeffrey has been a hero for me. He has been the most dominant GP rider at the moment and its nice to train with him and get some tips from him and for sure, I always learn from him. I try and remember what he is saying and even physical training, like I am doing with Ruben, it the same as what Jeffrey used to do. It is paying off so far and lets hope we can continue this.

Ruben Tureluren: In the current motocross World, there are a lot of skilled riders and they are all at such a high level, that the combination of all the other factors, the mental part, the physical part, is going to define, who is going to win. That is one of Jeffrey's very strong points, the combines the technical abilities he has, with his physical abilities and then he puts his heart on top of that and that makes Jeffrey a complete and full motocross rider and such a big champion, with so many GP wins, in my opinion.
