Anyone else find Poto's post-race interview a little odd? Along with his interview with MC earlier in the broadcast, it sounds like he's over it. No doubt he'll go for 5 in a row, but sheesh, doesn't sound like he's having much fun out there.
Not to mention his Toyota truck comment. More pumped on a truck than 4 titles in a row? Like he could very well been joking, but his tone certainly didn't show it and just came off as awkward. Not trying to bag on the guy cuz he's been riding great, but surely I'm not the only one who noticed that.

I see R V as a true professional in the sense that he doesn't just drop his bike at the finish line and do "the in your face sprinkler dance" or something similar.
It's a job.
I wish Monster would tell him to go hunting next week and forget Vegas.
Does anyone agree?
unless you are RV, you have no idea what he is going through or how he feels and/or why he feels that way. to tell him how he SHOULD feel is absurd! Let alone the fact that he still had friggen dirt in his teeth while the media was swarming him for interviews...... hell, his wife hadn't even congratulated him until half way through his interview. you tell me how composed you would be or how well the 4th title would have set in by the time he is getting swarmed by cameras........ and in that time you expect him to make some life changing speech chalked full of Alessi-esque emotion?

Anytime you are more excited about the truck you just won over the fact that you just won your 4th title in a row just like the King. You are over it!
Anytime your entourage is more excited than you are that you just won the title, you are over it!
"I'm sure it will settle in at some point".
I think many people, especially those who desire to be in a position like his, assume that his life must be perfect, because that is their dream - to someday be where he is. Which, makes it hard to fathom his lack of 2011 Vegas excitement tonight after he won the title.
The fact is, he is still a human being with a biological make up just like you and I (for the most part). If you could take anyone on this message board who desires to be in his position, and you put that person into the role of his life, with his skill & fitness, they would most likely be (based on psychological happiness research) on cloud-9 (extremely happy) for a good three to four months, especially after a night like tonight, but eventually those happiness levels would start to tapper back down to the person's normal set range. Now factor in all the variables day in and day out as to why he calls his craft a job. Personally, I think he has every right in the world to feel however he feels and to me seems completely understandable and justifiable.
I think the work he and other professions put in to perform at that level, along with the stress and pressure to perform, is extremely underestimated by the average fan of the sport.
I bet Toyota loved the comment.
i was always taught that if i have a problem with something but everyone is disagreeing with me, the problem might be staring back at me in the mirror.
I would be willing to bet that Toyota threatened to pull their sponsorship of the series if RV said something like he did at the MEC. That's probably why he threw in that its cool that Toyota is a part of the sport at the end.
