So the odds have probably changed about Villo going 1-1 at Lommel or Valkenswaard, but what other tracks would suit his style most? As he gets things sorted out, there must be tracks or conditions that would give him an advantage... Maybe lots of jumps, or high temperatures (like Thailand was). Maggiora maybe? And is Assen, Holland another sand track as well?
So far, the racing has been fantastic! The soil at the Argentina round looked PERFECT, holy chit!

Maybe something like matterly Basin, maybe kegums and loket as well

He's one of the world's best riders, deep into his career. He can race and win on any surface. Argentina was the most level playing field yet, a new track and location for everyone. In the Americas, even. All that happened was another timely reminder that not all the worlds top riders are from the USA. Stop fighting it, accept and enjoy.
'Poto will win GP races again this year. Just not all of them.
The three tracks, or track surfaces to be more accurate, I always thought he would find the trickiest to get to grips with are Arco di Trento (next GP), Uddevalla and Lommel.
Great race btw

How do post the youtube vids directly in the thread?
I thought Argentina was going to be an RV show just based on that gopro video floating around.
AC Is incredible on a 350. I can't beleive his competitiveness. Well I can, but he proves 450s aren't needed to race the profesional pace.

My initial thought when I saw the track in Argentina was that it was like an AMA national track. I thought it would suit RV, and in fairness it did. 4th overall is not a bad result, it's just not what he needs.
Cairoli has proved year after year just how competitive that 350 is. It amazes me that no-one in America rides one
It's a great bike and a great fit for Tony, I agree. But even he (AC) said that if he ever went to America, then he would have to ride a 450 to be competitive due to the difference in tracks.
Joining in with the overall chorus... Matterley Basin... by a mile. I expect him to go 1 - 1 there. And as others have said Kegums and Mexico too maybe. And actually depending on how the track conditions are, Valkenswaard may be quite good for him too. Not utterly dissimilar to Southwick from what Iv'e read??
In regards to Trentino; I would think that he'd have a hard time on that circuit but you just never know, MX is weird. Perhaps something about the track will just click and he'll surprise a few people - including myself. But as of now I don't think it'll be a good race for him (by his very high standards I mean). I think he'll at least be on or very close to the podium on all the tracks, bar perhaps Lommel. But in regards to winning outright, that's harder to predict until we know more.
And its not a mudder.
