It seems that Ryan is back in Europe, riding in France at La Fare. Heard from local people that yersteday, Villopoto was turning in 1 min 57 a lap and that Rattray was 1min 59 but Tyla had more time on the rack than Ryan.
Here's a clip:

The Shop
there will be ruts in corners no doubt about it so no flat track slip and slide fest
and i'm pretty sure the tracks will be better prepped now than before considering Loungo can catch big fish now he has RV here they will make sure the battle will be equal
Pit Row
The food is better in their fast food restaurants than in French restaurants
The American toilets are better.
The American tracks are better.
It is just the way Americans are, they don't know how it is outside of their country but everything is better.....
BTW, I am American , have just lived 15 years in Europe
But dont count out some other guys yet
My guess is a 3 horse race for the title with van Horebeek in it (might be more of a wish on my part but I really think he will be that good this season)
Most circuits are privately owned and don't get regularly maintained and harrowed unless they're used for public practice sessions on weekends, or before a race obviously. So when pro riders want to practice mid-week (especially privately) the teams usually have to make arrangements with a track owner somewhere. Which Im guessing is the case with the KRT Kawi team and this track near Marseille. The tracks down there don't get a lot of rain water and get baked in hot sunshine throughout the summer, you don't get the humidity in Europe like you do at say Red Bud or Freestone either, which which is why you're left with these bluegroove surfaces.
Should be interesting to see how RV's starts are with 20-27 guys on the line vs. 42. Alot more room in the first turn for sure.
Cairoli perfectly knows how to deal with a bad start and to charge all moto long to make a pass on the final lap to take victory.
He's already done that more than once in the past, even with a stacked field...
