Thailand Qualify Technique of RV

It looks to me like he find the groove.

Ofc only qualification tomorrow counts!

Anyway RV´s technique in the long rythm sections and doubles is way better than the europeans today wich ofc is something he got from racing supercross. He was flawless. Anyone agreed?

Pacing themself i just dont think Desalle thought he could hang with him today even do it was qualify.

Hope we get to see a good start tomorrow and AC in the mix there.

RV looked on another level. The top GP guys always pick it up race day when it really counts, so should be good!

RV rode that track beautifully. I think he's gonna sweep it in dominating fashion tmmo.

I'm sure every rider is looking over the footage in that section and figuring out how they will execute that line on race day. RV looked fast over the roller whoops before the finish as well. He had a good line through there which allowed him to triple a few whoops

Yeah i think the track is shit to (compared to the rest of the regular calender). But hey, they all ride the same shit and RV showed how it's done in QF.

Wow, he has certainly picked up the pace. He did you incredibly quick through the rollers. He showed his raw speed with his best lap 1 seconds plus faster than anyone else. Tomorrow will be interesting for sure, AC looks off form at the moment, but he is always in the mix somewhere and can guarantee at the end of the season he will be up top battling for championshop hopefully alongside RV

Everyone will step it up, but Villopoto's technique was called WFO.

I agree, RV was doing some sections differently but nothing he did was out of reach of the top 4-5 other guys. I have no doubt several others, especially Desalle, Paulin, AC and Nagl will step it up tomorrow.

I even spotted some rear wheel turning by RV. I really hope that he scores his first win in MXGP tomorrow, it would be great for him and also for the series as it will be a wake up call for the rest..

I do agree that RV looked good qualifying but that's it. Its just the qualifier.

The track looks almost impossible to pass on. The start will be so crucial.

Good to see RV looking more like himself.

Something to watch for is his ability to easily generate air. Being a light rider helps too ... but RV has always had the ability to clear stuff that others struggle with ... particularly stuff where there is little run up. One example are some of those wide spaced rollers where he is able to double thru while the others may struggle to get over clean. And on the big launchers you can see him going fast and low while many of the others are almost going boner-air to clean them.

I think his biggest challenge will be the sand tracks. Hopefully they are sneaking in as much sand practice as possible.

If he performance like this in the upcoming weeks i see him win a couple actually. Actually i dont think he will struggle in the sand as much as people think, i saw some videos on him in the sand and he looked fine, maybe not as good as AC but time will tell. I am pumped to see him bounce back from that sucky qualifier in Qatar to this , night and day difference the haters would never believe that would happend.

Adam Wheeler & Paul Malin " not impressed" but when cairoli won the qualifier in Qatar they bragged like he was the crowned champ already.

RV is exceptional on tracks like that. He rode great today and got the inside gate for tomorrow which is crucial. I thought Paulin in particular looked very good, as did Desalle and Cairoli did well to come back through to 8th. I think we'll see a better race tomorrow, but the start will be vital

Paulin's got a unique style; looks like he's not trying at all.

Agreed. Never noticed Paulin cause i thought the cameras were on AC, Nagl & RV for the majority of the race ? Oh yeah the start will be cruical , that inside looks good.

Paulin was on screen quite a bit in the middle of the race. He looked silky smooth, efficient, but fast. Plus he was doing everything that RV was too. Should be a good race tomorrow if he can get out if the start. My money is on Desalle to leave with the red plate

He sounded pretty confident after the qualifier. I am a big GP fan, and its great to see RV, who I use to watch race as a kid in WA, running with the best in the world.

But he was 2-3 seconds a lap slower in doing so.....

Just a tidbit but RV lived in Florida in the heat and humidity for the last 7 years. Most GP guys dont.

Not to sound like more chest beating just because Villo won one qualifier but, I am thinking that GP riders are going to have to adapt to American motocross as much as Villo is going to have to adapt to GP motocross. Meaning that their (GP riders) habit of charging for a few laps and settling into a relaxed pace until the last few laps isn't going to work with someone like Villo who is capable of riding the entire moto at full sprint.

He's a bigger guy. Big guys have to ride smooth or they end up on their ass. People tell me I look like I'm not trying also but I can assure you that it feels like I am on the edge.
