Win number 121, streak number 11 — from corner entry to exit, Herlings' execution is off the charts. Pulling numbers like that after switching to Honda, I've watched a lot of racing and this guy's just a different animal. Coenen's 1-1 has its own drama too, first win since June, and I can still feel the throttle in my fingers watching it.

A clean 1-1-1 sweep is starting to make the racing feel one-sided, honestly.
