Doubt it. He rode it once last year and was pretty firm about it not being the bike for him, and if there was ever a time they don't want that marketing nightmare it'd be now.

I don't know but I'll be purchasing it regardless. Only thing is some of those mornings will be coming awful early for some of us.

If he didn't have the fame & fortune though, one could speculate haha. Doesn't seem to matter how ugly a guy is, A-list athletes always get the hot bitches.

I get sick of all the comments about AC's teeth. I don't know a lot about him. From what I have read he came from a not so wealthy family, so dental would probably be last on the list when having a phenom up and coming racer.

That being said people insulting his teeth are as lame as "yo momma" insults.

Fred Boss - Not necessary directed at you. I understand your comment wasn't insulting.

Two posts about his teeth in this thread alone.....

Timing like this doesn't just "happen". We will never know the truth behind that though. Can you imagine if the other teams found out that Luongo fronted 50% of RV's salary or something like that? Holy crap that would blow the top off the MX world.
Id say he is already doing it to Cairoli and Herlings.

you bastard Kongols...always bringing up good points.

I've been so excited for RV to race the GP's I forgot how much I hate the GP's (Luongo's GP's that is). I've been waiting for his reign to implode but I think you may be right. damn.....

How motivated will this make all the top gp guys to take it to RV? It's not going to be easy that's for sure.

If Rv loads YS bank , you would be a fool to not think longo would not be over here next year cherry picking the top talent , and he might not have a hard time selling it , with all the press RV is getting . U S MX is ripe for the Pickens .

Meh, start money has been paid to top riders for decades now. The check will just have more digits to the left of the decimal point today than it did years ago. From Luongo's standpoint, it's a logical business investment and likely a tax deductible one at that. IE- I'm toying with the idea of getting the year long GP online package and can't be the only one that has gone from having minor interest in the GP's to quite a bit. Every GP sponsor has to be salivating and anyone who's contract is up for 2015 should expect a larger fee in order to advertise with them.
Exactly. It can come from his marketing budget.

they changed the 350 quite a bit over the last few years. most of the bike tests show it making the same hp as a honda

I dont understand how you can not like AC, that guy is all class. I wish the GP rider RV was going to race was someone I could root against, but I just cant root against AC.

I think Cairoli needs to retire now because when RV hits the GPs all doubt and "what ifs " will be removed. Blush

This. AC is the most likable guy in motocross. He's never bragged about winning, he's never said anything bad about his competition, and he's been a class act all the way. Rooting for AC just as much as RV!

These guys are going to push each other to new levels. Paulin, Desalle, Strijbos, Nagl, etc are amazing riders who will be battling for 3rd every week. These two are that much better than everyone else at the moment.

I think RV's first few races might be kind of a schooling by the top regulars. Once he learns the faster tracks and longer sweeping corners the GPs have I think he could go back to winning by a gap. Lommel excluded though, I will be super impressed if he figures that track out on the first try! RV winning the GPs in his first year boils down to how bad he wants it. I hope he is going to give it a 110% like he does here in the states! My fear is that he is going there to just ride out his contract and not really caring if he walks away with the title. If that kid truly wants something, he finds a way to get it! I hope he wants it! Go RV! Ballsy move also! Mad respect for the young man.

I agree. Only thing i didn't like about him was earlier in his 250 career i remember him cutting across riders off the start. I specially remember one time at MXON, either 06 or 07. I don't know whether it was on purpose or not. Besides that AC222 is a very good dude.

What has to be back alley about using money to get talent in your series? He should have done this in 04 or whenever it was Stew was going into his newest contract with Kawi after coming off the small bikes.

Love or hate them, YS is the only series positioned to buy talent away from SX. Bringing talent into your series is the essence of promoting; it's probably the single biggest thing YS can do to boost the series prestige in the general public.

And in fact it does boost the series' prestige. I can't say, as I have for many years, that the Nationals here are better for guys like Roczen coming here and not say that it's not a solid accomplishment by YS to get RV over, however they managed it and however much RV may or may not gave wanted to go but for his contractual entanglements.
Love the GPs. Love Tony Cairoli's graciousness and competitiveness, which I think will both be on display this coming season. IMStupidO: I actually thought this year's MXoN (it pains me to put the 'o') actually leaned the AMA way, given a few factors which I won't get into for reasons of brevity. I would be surprised if the ferocity of a healthy and motivated Villopoto (Tomac gave the sense of f*all corner speed -- not jumping -- the AMA is capable of for the top 4/5) doesn't earn a few Holy F moments. Whether that translates to championship or not depends on many factors in and out of Ryan and crew's control (bike, health, motivation, adaptation, etc).

I am a bit surprised at the unstated, but implied, machinations of the contract: that is to say, that Ryan had one year remaining on his U.S. contract, but chose to leverage that into a deal in Europe (knee? not?) I would rather have heard that Ryan fulfilled his contract here and decided to opt for a new challenge in Europe. My hesitation is based on nothing other than some Vital posts (including Uncleof2's unfortunately|), so I may well be off in my hesitations. Indeed, I hope that Ryan has a healthy knee, a self-motivation to equal Aldon's discipline (whatever keeps the uberfit and motivated part.) ... I am pulling for Ryan, as I have done since his signed mini-O poster hung on the wall of my motorcycle shop in 2002-3. I am pulling for a great, balls-out, gentleman's agreement, fair, fast-fest, hair-raising season, with all healthy and a definite winner.

MXA says he got the money up front, and it is double his normal salary. Wouldn't that put him in the 12 to 14 million range?

UP FRONT?
