Soooo, if these rumors are true about the GP's, RV is smarter than I even thought. Think about it, he's riding a bike that he's at home on, he will have a "personal assistant" so to speak in Ratray that can show him how things are done, help him avoid the pitfalls over there and help him with adapting to the Euro culture and food. Then on top of that, I'm pretty sure he has studied our losses at the MXDN that showed our riders weaknesses, particularly in the sand and buys a house near the area to get his sand skills on par.....very smart indeed.
As much as an RV fan as I am, I'm not predicting a waxing of TC over there this year like some are, but he sure is giving himself the best odds. If he is doing all of those things, I'm sure he is going to keep his training regimen up as well.
Good Luck RV!

As for the whole sand track thing...I think that he will be fine. Much of sand track riding is getting your set up really dialed. When RV has spent 20 days testing in the DEEP...he will be going just as fast as JH and TC....if not faster.
The Shop
What other US rider has gone there to conquer at the top of his game? It will be a great challenge and bring many many more fans interested in the gp series next year. Will be great.
US mx fans should be embracing this plan. I hope he does it and wins big.
I would give anything to see his face the first time he has a night out in Eindhoven ...
And North Wales is a beautiful place...
Pit Row
Moving to Belgium and taking on Tony Cairoli? Not to mention giving up a very good chance at 5 in a row in SX?

As for sand,he's incredible,his 250 laptimes usually destroy the MX1 times,what him and AC did to the rest at the Lommel MXdN was telling,guys like Roczen and Dungey (with an off) were nearly 2 minutes down so I think he could handle RV ok,even away from the sand I think he's the fastest guy in the GP's anyhow,most who've seen his race seem to think the same,gutted he's out and gutted he's not MX1 next year but he's still only 19,hopefully he'll race RV at some point
RV has been the best in the AMA by far over recent years and will have all things in place with the way he's going about things as Machine says,half the tracks are new too so no real advantage to AC there either,it should be a great season if Paulin,Van Horbeek,Desalle,Strijbos,Nagl,Frossard,De dycker etc can all stay fit too,they all have their good tracks and can genuinely do well
I also think if someone isn't used to certain things like the water in Mexico, for an example, it can make you more prone to food sickness.
At least he will be able to sample bread that tastes like bread , and not like cake...
