I'm sure that the author of that interview had the best of intentions, but that interview had almost nothing new or novel to add at all. I'm not really sure what the purpose of the interview even was. Usually you'd want to provide something new or at least no well known, but the only thing that would qualify in this interview is the sharing of pictures of trout.

It wasn't a "bad" interview, it just really didn't tell anyone anything new.

Ummmm... It gave a professionals insight and thinking on the matter. Someone who has, first off, raced both the AMA nationals and the GPs, and was also RVs teammate. I thought it was better then us going back and forth on something we have no idea about or been in his position.

RV a seems to really enjoy european culture so I doubt it will be an issue.

Cairoli has never faced anything close to Villopoto. Villopoto has never faced Cairoli, but I do believe Dungey is a lot like him. Cairoli is obviously much better though. It'll be fun to watch.

Consistency. Nobody on the GP scene comes close to his consistency. Also they both rarely crash.

Starbucks Cafe Verona is the shit, i buy it at the grocery store and brew it at home and drink it black every day. Its not burnt tasting like most of their coffee and costs about the same per pound as anything else. I cant stand to go into a starbucks i hate the whole vibe.

However, if you go buy one of their metal coffee mugs it WILL NOT LEAK with the top shut. Ive had a couple for many years and dont even think about spills anymore.

Also,
RV is gonna be just fine...

Although they've both faced very tough competition, they're still two big fish in a small pond ... And now they are getting placed in a pond together for the first time. Strap in boys. This is going to be epic.

I'm going to have to disagree w the epic comment. I believe it will be a great season at the beginning. But we are talking about two racers that don't lose often, if one starts to get some momentum and points lead, the other is going to try to find another gear... Often leading to crashes and injury. It will be incredible if we see a whole season that ends w a real fight to the finish... . .but I think they will be pushing so hard to secure their legacy, that it will be amazing if they both make it thru a long season, at that pace w no injuries.

I mean really, what the hell is the logo anyways? A female peanut with the face from I Robot wearing a crown, octopuss hands and long flowing hippy hair???

WTF?

slightly off topic- but the year that townley and RV went at it all season long outdoors (07) was absolutely incredible to watch!!! both of them were riding amazing, and very evenly matched. Hopefully next season in mx1 gps will be as good to watch as that was!!!

ben townley is a really nice guy- we had the pleasure of having a few drinks with him and the team when he won the world mx2 title at ballykelly in 2004. We decided to stay over at the track an extra night to avoid the rush for the ferry- heard alot of noise coming from the red bull ktm tent so went to have a look. Ben invited us in- it was a free bar (vodka red bulls and peroni on draught) townley, rattray, all the red bull ktm team and smets!!! Great night- will never forget that! Cool to see the pro riders let loose every once in a while!!

been a massive townley fan ever since- such a shame all the bad luck he's had with injuries. He could beat anyone when he was fully fit. Great rider! just too injury prone

First time I "met" Townley Bro

MXoN 2007 Budds Creek. It was the Friday night before Saturday's practice, and I had some sick Bro'd out VIP treatment in one of the Red Bull RV's for the weekend.
So, my buddy and I were just hanging in the Red Bull area with all the racer RV's all around us. All the sudden we hear some crowd of Brits wearing speedo's and flying the Union Jack as a cape. The Brits were screaming, and revving one of those "Chainless Chainsaws". I was all amped up to follow this crew of madness through the pits, so off I went.

Anyway, we roll up to Reed's RV, they bang on his door, and Chad and Ellie open the door to all of us screaming, cheering, and of course revving that chainsaw at him, Chad and Ellie started cracking up but quickly shut the door, and turned off the lights.

Soon as Reed's RV door shut, the chainsaw wielding Brit spots Townley coming out of another RV, and he sprints over to Townley with the chainsaw revving wide fuckin open in BT's face! Townley starts running, and jumps into his UTV, jammed it in reverse by accident, with a huge look of fear on his face, then jams it in forward, and takes off. We all just yelled for him as he took off waving his arms! It is the funniest memory I have from any professional race. Wish you's guys could of seen Townley's face.

Sorry for the story Bro's
