Throttle wasn`t stuck that`s for sure. He just missed the brake pedal.

That was some crazy go pro footage of rv taking the line from desale.. Rv is just as fast. Just made a mistake. And that bike isn't dialed in yet...

One thing is for sure, the team and RV and all involved are gonna have to come together if they want to have a shot at this.

He was looking really good there and I think he's adapting pretty well, but there is more there if things are right. Hope he makes a real go of it for the rest of the year now, all to play for!

OH COCCYX!! That sucked. Unfortunately I know all to well how you feel when you run off of the track and curl up in a little ball, it's the universal sign of holly balls that hurt and I just want to cry!

Much rather loop out than do what he did in St. Louis

That sucked... Damn, he looked good. Purely guessing, the softer suspension is taking some getting used to. Looks like the rear end rebounded during the wheelie, hooked-up & pulled it right out from under him.

That's my gues also, but he had the speed.

Man - gutted for RV, literally screamed at the TV and turned it off once all the carnage was done. Felt like we all looped out with him on that one. What a bad ass, he snapped the handlebar right off the machine. Stoked it was not his arm or leg.

Hang in there RV!

Back brake isn't needed if the bike has compression braking. I vote its a slipper clutch. Def wasn't stuck throttle.

Still blaming the settings, huh? His bike looked pretty good to me last weekend, so did RV. Didn't expect from him to be that close to the lead. Second race he probably had to settle for 4th again if he didn't crash, but in my opinion that would've been a very good result. I'm sure he'll get a 1-1 pretty soon, needs it too.

And turning off the tv? Can't understand that because one of the favourites crashes out, but that's different for everyone I suppose.

Track position meant a lot this last round... He was running a pace that with a holeshot and as hard as that track was to pass he could have won. You could probably say that for last round too.

True. We'll never know. Hope for him he gets the results he wants soon.

Thinking back to RV's outdoor victories. His tactic was to get a good start, sprint for a couple of laps, build a cushion/lead then back it off to the flag.
Perhaps Ryan isn't used to having to defend his position so hard?
Definitely every one of the top GP riders ups his game when racing RV and props to Ryan for stepping out of his comfort zone to race around the world.
Not been this excited to see each gp since the glory days of Dave Thorpe in the 80's battling Andre, Eric and Georges!

Desalle was hauling a even bigger ass?
TC was hauling Jennifer Lopez ass?

I'd imagine the next few days might be a bit uncomfortable when "shit happens" too. Tongue

Been there and got the t shirt on that one.Sick
Broke my coccyx in 1977 racing for Cheshire in Inter Centre Team Scramble.
Rode second moto, not to let team down, but ended up throwing up, delirious with pain afterwards. On Monday I got an x-ray then doctor re-aligned it with a rubber glove, bit of lube &a finger up where the sun don't shine.Pinch
For about 2 weeks taking a "Tom Tit" was excruciating, so was mostly on soup, little solids for that time.
Good way to drop some pounds though.
Break it or bruise it, has to be one of the most painful things to do!.Whistling
