This post isn't about his results. It's about the picture.

Maybe they should make one for Cairoli? He has won 25% but Nagl, he has won 50%.

Clearly not an accurate picture, RV doesn't shoot Glocks.

Wow you're pretty arrogant. You sound like you're disgusted with a guy who struggled in his first GP ever then won the next one.

So is there like a race win percentage requirement in order for someone to post a picture that is really just a joke? My god you guys are uptight!

It should be RV's less intelligent fans VS anyone out side of USA who is interested in bikes...

Well, actually, he won it by one point, going 1-3, and was, if I remember right, -10 seconds from the second place rider in moto 2.

Right?

You see, I am all for good racing, and I don't care who wins, I just want everyone to finish safe, healthy and that there be a good battle on the track, but it just seems silly to me to portray RV's overall victory in Thailand as some "ass stomping of the Euro's," because it wasn't. It wasn't even close to that. He's won one of four motos run so far, and of the three he didn't win, he was not even close, he was, geez, I think in one, nearly 40 seconds back from the winner.

I wish him all the best, I hope he does well and even hope he can take the championship, because it's been so long since an American has won the WC, but if you swapped out RV in the photo for TC222, many on this forum would be throwing a shit-fit of monumental proportions and saying how "disrespectful" of RV2 it is.

Not that there's a double standard or anything like that.

I'm just looking at it for what it has been so far

But, what do I know, right?

I really don't think that image was intended to be taken all that seriously.

But if it was TC222 in that pic and not RV2, with a big Italian flag, what do you think the general reaction here would be?
Honestly.

Seems to me it would be fitting since he's an 8x World Champion?

Being an American based forum I'm sure it would get a strong reaction from some but the more sensible posters would see the same humor in it.
