However
Both clips showed Ryan getting basically run off the track
I usually look at the MXGP Highlights and very very few times have seen this type of action
Personally I cant blame the other riders for riding harder against the new guy who everyone is watching
To me Ryans only shot is going to be getting better starts and running upfront with his peers

To be honest, I was really hoping to see more of the rv we saw here in the states just obliterating tracks. But as the day went on I got more and more quiet and less excited as I realized how out of sorts him and his bike looked. It was my first year to have an mxgp subscription, really enjoyed seeing the euro guys and how they attached things. Fingers crossed rv gets some things sorted and can at least get up and dice w the top 5.....that will take a lot of improvement in just one week though!
3,4,5,6. Anywhere in there. Might squeak out a moto win as I think he's got the speed. Just needs the start and a clear track.
MX2: 1) Herlings 2) Covington 3) Tixer 4) Ferrandis
Butron is like the Alessi of GP's. The dude always gets a decent start but ends up being a road block.. eventually getting passed by most riders.
Pit Row
Do you believe all the shit you type?
Maybe paulin would because he wants to beat him after getting kicked out of the kawi Team because RV just came over and wanted a different teammate.
And with the butron thing I'm pretty sure it was rvs fault, butron probably didnt even know there was someone trying to get in the same rut coming from the outside...
I swore I would never line Luongos pockets with my money but Villo made me do it!
I think Thailand will be better for him and also Argentina. Between those two he almost has three weeks of testing time. Arco di Trento is also a pretty narrow track, but I believe that his starts will be back on track by then.
Obviously Cairoli started the season a little slow, but just didn't want to get injured in Qatar, that was even more sketchy as past years imo. His tracks have yet to come, and I think Thailand is one of them, last two GP's there he went 1-1-1-1. Different track now, but the climate is the same. Nakhonchaisri will be a survival of the fittest, something Tony excellences in.
Hope RV can get closer to the top, should only serve the championship well.
I don't think the riders do anything different apart from the top guys maybe stepping up their program or trying harder because it's nice to say you can beat Ryan Villopoto. But I don't think riders like Butron who don't stand a chance at beating him will make a difference between RV or any other faster rider.
At least from some guys I know they don't care about the whole Euro/US stuff at all and just try do their job.
Maybe if RV was talking shit about the riders and acting disrespectful, they would try to prove something - but RV isn't like that
Or do you think US riders try extra hard to keep riders from Europe (Tonus recently) behind them? I know I don't
RV also found out that Philippaerts is hard to pass. De Reuver was commenting on TV here and was laughing, he said, "to pass Philippaerts you have to pass him at least 3 times to make it stick." Same goes for Desalle...
It's not like al these guys are very hard to pass, but Villopoto found two hard ones. If he starts upfront in Thailand he wont have that problem.
