He's an open book, wears his emotions on his sleeve might that be the only negative thing I can say about his persona...but Damn it's nice to see a good guy win.
No Rookie like fit when the Red Flag came out ( which I would....and have total acted out). Just smooth business like...yet still with passion and emotion
I hope he wins them all.

I'm a big fan of Marvin. The guy is a true racer and a class act. I really want him to win this championship.

He gapped the rest pretty good both times. Hope he can stay up and his starts seems to be on point. Will never forget his Daytona holeshot.

Not to go all Oil of Olay and metrosexual but...is he the most healthy looking rider on the circuit or what? Not one wrinkle or furrowed brow, not one blemish on his skin, his eyes are very clear and bright.

He looks like he eats healthy, has no stress, has never touched a cigarrette, alcohol or a cup of coffee.

Maybe its his chick, I dont know, but I wish I could go back and live my life like he has.

He certainly appears to have an awesome teammate with Matilda. His place and maturity are earned and in check.

big fan of marvin- awesome smooth riding style and a really nice guy. Whats not to like? hope he takes the title and goes into outdoors 100% fit. We've only seen flashes of what he is capable of in america so far with such terrible luck with injuries.

Apart from horse racing and cart racing there must be more under 6' athletes in moto by percentage than in any other form of racing. But Marvin and Ryan both looked the smoothest and most graceful last night and were of corse both winners. Windham and even Too Tall Bell always looked graceful. I guess with that extra leverage comes the need to always be in position...Unlike RC and Hannah hanging off their bikes.

Marvin has got to be the nicest guy at the track...other than Trey. I have been really impressed with him and Ken, they are both hard to not rout for. Herlings doesn't engender the same level of likeability as these two. We are fortunate to have them here.

I hope to GOD that nickname ( in your title ) doesn't stick Tongue but yeah, Marvin was awesome last night. Did everything right.

My brother even made a comment about when the race was red flagged and Marvin rolled to a stop on top of the jump and calmly took off his goggles and looked around " that's how you handle a red flag...." Far cry from the little fit that Webb threw.......

From the very first few laps of practice it was obvious to me that MM was a few steps ahead of the others. He was soooo good and smooth all day.

I can't throw rocks at Webb...been there done that. But you can't tell me Marvin doesn't handle it without poise and confidence. Plays great for viewers and I'm thankful for the cream in our sport.

Marvin is one cool cat for sure. Mature beyond his years and his better half seems to be just that. Vive la Frenchy...(spoken in my best Curly Stooge accent).

Care to tell HIM that? After what I saw him do to John "The Beast" Mugabe, think carefully before you answer.

Not one wrinkle? Maybe you should get some glasses...
Cool



P.S. Man up.

probably wants to win a 250 title in America to add to his world championship, before moving up to the 450 class

marvin would be a great candidate for the 350 in my opinion, when he does move up

Haha. That's funny but sad at the same time.

Marvin mentioned in his post race interview that he wants to be on the 450 but his injuries prevented him from moving up. Judging by his speed and technical ability, I think he's going to be up front immediately if he can avoid the injury bug.

For sure, could almost be Cianciarulo's father. He turned 28 in January.

It's obvious he's got the whiskers in this group....whether he uses Oil of Olay or not. Regardless he is silky-smooth
