I don't know where Matthes and JT$ are getting their info, but RV sure acts like he's not retiring, plus it looks like he's racing the nationals too!

I didn't listen but am thinking maybe this retirement announcement is more like "next year will be my last year" kind of thing.

Seriosly, he is going to race GH, idiots.
Exactly what I was thinking, you guys keep talking just let it play out if he says he is racing Nationals then I take him for his word he hasn't been a liar before and I don't think he is now.

Hadda love the laugh and smerk from RV when he made the comment about "reading rumors on Vitalmx".

I don't care what anyone says about him but I believe he is very well grounded and a down to earth person outside of the "job".

Seems like it was printed and quoted in Cycle news from RV himself that he is racing the nationals.

I think he's well grounded and down to earth at his job. I don't understand why people think he's boring or dry or hating life. Maybe he just wants to keep private things, private.


It's not too hard to pick up on his dry sense of humor either, but people miss it and it goes right over their heads.

oh he's racing nationals. my guess would be if he races nationals, twists a knee thats bad and has to pull out, he will retire then.

like i said whatever comes first, end of contract or injury.

hes made enough money and bought enough toys he shouldn't have much to worry about once he retires Wink

thats another thing rebus, his sense of humor is just something you have to be around to understand it completely.

what did he do after his championship? Coors Light and Pizza........

Funny, I look at it as the rumors are coming from elsewhere, but being discussed here. Big difference. Smile

I agree...i think the retirement rumors came from very credible sources, people who are in the "cool guy group"....and just discussed to death here....RV has blamed the rumor on Vital multiple times....Guyb you should set him straight bout where it started...

All rumors aside, who here has seen RV testing for outdoors? He hasn't been in Florida for a while now, and nobody I know has seen him testing around here, so... Whistling

It's not too hard to pick up on his dry sense of humor either, but people miss it and it goes right over their heads.
I believe, outside of the public part of the job, he's normal, funny and quite the entertainer...when he wants to be, like most people. Publicly, his range is usually from pretty boring to watching paint dry. On PulpMx you can usually tell that he's not just a box of rocks when it comes to dealing with people.

I think there's difference between a dry sense of humor and just...dry. He's a complete beast on a bike so I kinda give him a pass. I hope he's @ GH, but if he's not I applaud him for positioning himself to have a choice about going to work or not.

Oh Im sure they are! Mostly I would guess from wishful thinkers too. I just thought it was funny that he named vital in such a comical sense that this is where all the "rumor buzz" is going on.Tongue
Its cool he has a good sense of humor about it.
