Who is #12? That was a blatant take out. That's why I could't race over there. I'd kill that dude. Literally.

Bill 4
Sorry meant #17. I hope he get's seriously hurt.

People who say stuff like that aren't fans of the sport, nor are they people worth knowing. To wish serious injury on someone for anything is a sad thing to do, let alone for a completely unintentional racing incident
Seriously, That's messed up.

I meant with regard to racing. Wishing serious injury on anyone for anything they do on a racetrack is sad. I admit that there is some vile people on this planet who deserve that kind of thing

I can't speak for how Ryans comment about the take out will be received, but I can tell you as an American who knows how we talk that he didn't intend that as a shot. He was answering a question and kind of joking about most of what he said. I'm kind of shocked to hear people taking it as more than that.

I am an RV2 fan and have been since Budds Creek 07 but to me he looks dumbfounded in that video. Kinda like he has no idea what just hit him. I sure hope he figures it out as I know this is not how he wants to go out.

That damn AC is awesome! Always have been and always will be a big fan of that guy.

On the RV / Jose takeout thing.......I think it was just one of them things that irritated RV because it happened. I'm in the group that thinks Jose couldn't have known RV was even there and it was a total racing incident. Jose got pushed wide by the guy on his right , there really wasn't any where else for him to go. Besides the fact he was a full bike length in front of RV when it happened........no much he could have done.

New land , new series , new bike , new team , new competitors.......it's bound to be a little bit of a shock yeah? He seems pretty calm and relaxed to me. Soaking it all in.

Pretty ballsy for Mr. Ballsy balls to refer to himself as ballsy.

Great interview. Definitely a fan. Made my balls swell right up just listening.

I thought that he might win some races this year, and he still may, but he seems like he is in the middle of his swan song. I hope that he wins some races, but I don't think that title is in the cards. He's ready to relax and enjoy retirement. That's just MHO.

Good luck to him this weekend and this season though.


P
Yeah, I agree. He seems to be looking at the exit which certainly is his right after a great career. But as a fan, I was hoping he would have that must win attitude guys on the upside of their career have. He seems to qualify his results or expectations a lot with..hopefully we'll do well and..at least I had the balls to come over here (as though that is sufficient in itself)..close this down slowly, sort of sidestepping the everyone at home is watching you comment...etc. This is just my opinion and hope I'm wrong because it would be great to see him up front batlling AC as though it was him and Dungey a few years ago.

You guys are clowns. I wouldn't say RV is guaranteed to win the title, but, soon enough, he'll shut up the nances that talk about what he's doing wrong. But you all can continue to play psychologists, analyzing what he may or may have not meant and whether he appears to be serious or not. I'm sure you all know what it takes to win championships.

In 2009, I bet you all figured he'd pull out 4 straight sx titles against JS, CR, RD, KR, etc. too.

Let's see:
Moto 1 - stall and 3 crashes
Moto 2 - bad start and lost his rear brake

Yeah, he's probably going to be out of the title hunt.

The interview was good but that the response about the Spanish rider was a bit uncalled for and really feeds in to the image of the egotistical American that doesn't know, nor care, about the rest of the world. I'm sure RV didn't mean it that way but he is an ambassador for American MX right now whether he wants to be or not. And frankly he might have passed Butron but the riders of his caliper were all 1/2 a lap in front of him so....

I watched the Qatar GP race again yesterday and the differences in the bikes were stark. AC222 hit a pot hole on a straightaway and his forks took all of it while using 95% travel and he never let off. He never lost his drive and he conserved energy. Then RV hit similiar bumps and his bike bounced off the ground and moved over 3' all while his forks only used 1/2 travel. Anyone who is watching should be able to see that his bike is no good for that last track and that theme might continue on other foreign tracks. I will say that RV appeared to be riding his bike to within an inch of it's life. On properly dialed in bike I suspect he would be World Champion even with all of these odds.

RV is going to have to let go of his Supercross settings. If I was his team manager I'd set a KX up with last years GP settings and make him ride a practice moto on that to access his average speed on a very beat track.
You ever been intentionally cleaned out? I thought Ryan was pretty respectful considering the circumstances. And I thought the whole interview was pretty honest, but also professional considering the loose atmosphere.

Maybe he'll get more respect from his competitors considering how humble he sounds. I think he is doing great at representing America......and he is probably under the most pressure of his career. Every race for him this season is like MX DES Nations in some fans eyes.

It wasn't that bad to be fair, he got asked what happened with his crashes and he said 'well the first one some Spanish dude took me out, but then I passed him like 4 times anyway' then the interviewer said 'probably his claim to fame or something'. It kinda made it sound like Butron had done it on purpose which I don't think he did. Being called some Spanish dude must be fairly annoying too
Uhh..he is a Spanish dude and he did take him out, maybe not on purpose, but took him out just the same, so get over it.

I'm well over it, it was a good interview. Butron is just 'some Spanish guy' though. He's one of his competitors, he could've done him the courtesy of at least calling him by his name that's all.

If RV wants to call him a Spanish dude(that's what he is), then so be it. If you think about it, giving the guy a name(which RV probably doesn't even know it) validates him as on his level, which he is NOT...so get over it. It's survival of the fittest out there, I would call him a Spanish dude too, so take your PC bs somewhere else..

Good interview.

I wouldn't be too worried about Ryan's start to the series. He's been in worse points deficits before after the first round and still gone on to win the Championship. Thailand would be a perfect place to start some positive momentum; new track for everyone.

oi dude talk about coming into a discussion swinging the only person over reacting about it is you

It did seem very dismissive and if he knew he was from Spain then he would know his name so choosing to just say "some Spanish guy took me out... whatever I passed him 4 times" seems arrogant cause as you say he believes he is above him and on a track he may be but that's only on the track as a human he's equal..
I would've rathered to hear him say "oh I got hit by Butron I think his name was, but could've been a racing incident I dunno" Everyone knows he's way faster so no need to rub it in

But it's not about me and he doesn't owe me what I want to hear..
I'm just trying to clear up why people might not have appreciated the tone

What kind of dick doesn't call a guy by his name because the guy isn't as good as him?

It's really not that big of a deal, I just thought they were a little harsh on Butron. Especially since the guy actually apologised to RV on Instagram

From now on he's going to be known as "The Spanish Guy" ...woooo....it's just horrible...PC is why your country is screwed now and why our country is going down the shitter with yours. Who gives a rats ass seriously. If he were in the states he would have said # such and such took me out and not used his name...big deal.

There are a great number of reasons our country is screwed, and PC is definitely one of them. Don't think PC has anything to do with this though, just thought they were a but harsh on Butron thats all.

It really doesn't matter in the big scheme of things. I was just thinking from Butron's point of view. He would probably be a little disappointed to hear that. Especially since RV is a guy he looks up to

I'm thinking RV has a lot more on his mind then learning the first and last names of all the guys out there.
Give him a break. Had he known his name he would have used it. Wasn't meant to be disrespectful at all.
You guys took a nice interview and focused on one small thing in an effort to disparage RV. We do it also.

Of course. In my original post on this thread I said that I thought that they were a little harsh on Butron but otherwise a pretty good interview. Glad to see he's enjoying the travelling.

I wasn't calling RV a dick for not mentioning Butron by his name. It was suggested that it was acceptable to not call someone by their name so that they didn't the impression they were as good as you. My point is that would be a dickish thing to do

Who gives a rats ass seriously. If he were in the states he would have said # such and such took me out and not used his name...big deal.

There are a great number of reasons our country is screwed, and PC is definitely one of them. Don't think PC has anything to do with this though, just thought they were a but harsh on Butron thats all.

It really doesn't matter in the big scheme of things. I was just thinking from Butron's point of view. He would probably be a little disappointed to hear that. Especially since RV is a guy he looks up to
You are probably a nice guy, but I doubt RV is so kind and cares little about Butron's feelings. He took him out on what was already a bad day.

What kind of dick doesn't call a guy by his name because the guy isn't as good as him?

It's really not that big of a deal, I just thought they were a little harsh on Butron. Especially since the guy actually apologised to RV on Instagram

Give him a break. Had he known his name he would have used it. Wasn't meant to be disrespectful at all.
You guys took a nice interview and focused on one small thing in an effort to disparage RV. We do it also.

Of course. In my original post on this thread I said that I thought that they were a little harsh on Butron but otherwise a pretty good interview. Glad to see he's enjoying the travelling.

I wasn't calling RV a dick for not mentioning Butron by his name. It was suggested that it was acceptable to not call someone by their name so that they didn't the impression they were as good as you. My point is that would be a dickish thing to do
I'll concede that point.
In the past, I've found RV's interviews a bit arrogant.
He appears to have been humbled just a bit. Although you can tell, his is still one confident mofo.

I guess you're right, and Ryan has more important things on his mind right now. I was just looking at it from Butron's point of view that's all. I thought it was a good interview in general. Even after a rough week he seems more relaxed
