But Cairoli is no Herlings, so wouldn't be impossible to beat Cairoli at Lommel. But I really really doubt he will..
"Oh he was just cruising for the win, its a team event"
"Oh he passed him! That american sucks, our guys are faster"

A 10th place RV would be respectable, just like a 10th place finish for Herlings or Carioli in SX would be fine
If you watched an onboard from someone slower , its a different place LOL
When anyone beats an american its "our guys are faster" (and "our" can include anyone non-american)
and when we beat anyone (from a certain country), its "America has such a large population and so many tracks that its easy for them to produce a top team/rider". They like to have it both ways and will choose one depending on what their opinion is at that time
The French, Italian, Latvian, Dutch etc members of Vital are all pretty good at discussing stuff in English, but I dare say they are the exception. I doubt it comes as easily to most of their friends.
Anyway, you guys lump all the "Eurotards" together, that's why we feel qualified to speak up.
dumb discussion anyways
RV will be good anywhere, the question is HOW good. I don't think he can beat Cairoli and Herlings in the sand but if the bike is set up nicely and all I think he can get a podium. Can't wait to see him ride a track like this, should be interesting to see how he approaches it with his riding style.
Pit Row
To be fair to RV , he manned up and said he didnt have anything left to push in race 2 in Thailand, Stewart tried to make out he wasnt trying , when the watch , and the fact he was hanging off said otherwise. Hat tip to RV for that.
I agree with you about RV and anyone who thinks he'll be slow in the sand is just crazy. Whatever that special mix of talent, bravery, heart and mind is , Villopoto has it and in my opinion is only matched by Cairoli. Desalle is the bloke I want to win but I just can't see it happening against two of the best racers ever.
Remember this in 1999?
Kevin decided to race the USGP being held at Budd's Creek, MD only three days prior to the event. European Champion and motocross hero overseas Stefan Everts made a comment concerning the top US racers deciding not to race the GP, rather to focus on the US races and the time off the week end allowed. Everts said he thought the US racers were being cowards. This angered Kevin Windham greatly. Stefan Everts at the time was one of the toughest racers to beat. Kevin went on to dominate the race and left no doubt that Everts had nothing for him on that day.
