MX Large is at it again.
Of course 2015 will see the introduction of Ryan Villopoto into the series and not only will the American Supercross champion be involved, but we have a schedule that is bordering on perfect (add Namur and it’s pretty perfect in my eyes).
Anyone know if there is truth to this? And what does "be involved" mean?

Heard from yet another source - and despite all the hype and hope - that Ryan Villopoto won't actually be a GP rider after all

RV get over yourself and just make a statement one way or the other. Please.
On Friday Phil Alderton and I walked a very muddy Namur course after having just landed in Brussels a couple of hours earlier. I hadn't slept in about 30 hours and it was such a surreal experience walking a track I had dreamed about since I was a teenager. Crashing on the off camber downhill section quickly awakened me from my jet lag dream state. Man I LOVE NAMUR!
Rub a lamp though if you think it will ever be on the schedule. From my research it appears there are equal concerns about the safety factor (place is 90% tree lined) as there are the facilities ability to support the GP paddock these days. Namur really isn't track from a facilities standpoint. It is more like someone came in and put a bitchin' MX track smack dab in the middle of Beverly Hills or Bel Air or the Hollywood Hills. No joke,
Which is fine.
I love Belgium. I raced the 250/500 INTERS class in the BVM in 1981 and 1983. Time of my life.......oops, think I'm getting off topic here!
rv will not be racing the US sx series.
and that its kinda up to KAWASAKI to decide in giving him a gp ride.
personally,i do not see him getting ready for sx and maybe he and KAWASAKI are just letting things take its course.you know,as a replacement rider for an injured Kawasaki gp rider.i don't know.
There seems to be whispers that RV's knee surgery isn't healing up as quickly as originally expected. I seem to recall reading that SX is essentially out as a result.
My guess is that RV's GP decision weighs heavily on what the doctors have to say.
My impatience at the moment is fueled by my hope that RV goes for it. Be fantastic for the sport but as a buddy of mine pointed out "what happens if RV goes there and doesn't win?" GREAT question. From a fan standpoint I would imagine the sooner they can announce RV is or is not going to MXGP the better it would be for fans that would plan a vacation around seeing RV race MXGP.

He could not learn those tracks like AC already does and beat AC for the title.

Oh… and don’t forget about the other stuff he doesn’t want you to know about for some strange reason. Compare that to Reed who has a child this past few days and posts a proud pop picture.
"What I don't know is WTH is all this subterfuge about? After the will RV ride the Nationals or won't he circle jerk I am not in the mindset to be jerked around by Villipoto about another series. RV as I remember said one thing one week and next week it was completely different with him NOT racing the Nationals.

as for rv to gps- im still very doubtful it will happen. I hope im wrong, would love to see him do a season of gps (or any top american racer) but very unlikely. Although the rumour doesnt seem to be going away? sure they will announce something soon. Id be more inclined to take adam wheelers word than geoffs though
We do hear in Europe that it will happen indeed but realistically, if it does'nt happen, it is still good from a PR point of view for Youthstream to trumpet that deal...
So it's difficult to figure out what is really happening.
Will definitely go again if I get the opportunity
ayearinmx-You see what I was talking about yeah? RE: MX track in Beverly Hills or Bel Air? Congrats on visiting the famous Namur.
He hasn't said anything one way or another... everyone else has. Maybe he doesn't fuggen know what he's doing.
