Red Bull KTM Factory rider Jeffrey Herlings has told MXlarge that he will arrive early in America for the USGP, and train with legendary South African trainer Aldon Baker to prepare for the USGP—set for WWW Ranch in Florida on the first weekend of September.
“I will leave two days after the Grand Prix of Sweden,” Herlings told MXLarge. “I know its going to be very hot, and I want to get used to the heat. I know Eli Tomac will be fast on his own turf. On his day, he is the fastest rider in the world. I think it would be different if he raced at Loket, or something like that, but on American soil he is really quick, all the Americans are. I will train with Aldon Baker and I am really thankful for KTM organizing this for me.”
More on this tomorrow in our exclusive interview with the Lommel winner.
