Piers, from the...

-273 Derestricted blog asked me for some Jeffrey Herlings shots a few weeks ago.
Jeffrey lives here in town and I'm lucky to hook up with him every now and then to go shoot some photos with him. This kid turned 16 years old last September and ended up 4th overall in this year's MX2 world championship! If he wouldn't have missed the last couple of races due to a shoulder injury, he might even have ended on the podium in his rookie year.... This week he got back on the bike after 4 months of rest and getting the power back in his shoulder, and he started ripping up the Genk super cross track right away. Next year he'll be joined on the KTM/Red Bull team by none other then Ken Roczen. Another 16 year old wonder boy, who will also be competing in the American supercross series... These two kids definitely are the ones to watch in 2011.
