Well I think all the citards that want to see a euro come to the usa and take a 450 title will see it in their lifetime for sure.

Herlings is just like RV I think.


And Rv is a champion he realizes lomel will be a significant weakeness. What makes a champion is who can determine their weaknesses and build on them for damage control. He doesn't have to win lomel but God he knows he can blow the championship there too.

Give him some more time. His technique has Sand written all over it.

I agree. When Lommel gets at it's roughest during a GP weekend, I'm not sure it will suit RV's style at all. I think he'll have to change the way he rides somewhat, which he is perfectly capable of doing.

You are quick to forget Ken Roczen, the german kid Smile He has it done already.

Albee is not from Europe, he's South African.
Same as the 2007 AMA champ: Grant Langston.
The 2009 AMA Champ is from Australia though. Wink

By Euro he meant Gp rider,Kinda surprised I forgot Langston. Not surprised at all that I forgot Reed. Is Australia more Euro than SA ?

Cool video of Jeffrey Herlings showing how it's done for anyone that hasn't seen it.

First I have ever seen that video.. amazed at how easy he makes it look. Artwork

So when RV wins the MXGP title, are you clowns just going to hold onto: "well, at least he didn't fair too well at Lommel"?

When he doesn't are you going to hold on to 'AC wouldn't even make the main in a SX'?

I don't remember seeing that either! Gotta love his style, so effortles. Not really a fan of the guy, but for some reason I hope he just waxes everyone when he moves up. Hopefully will race in USA too, and win it all.

And no, I don't care if he's from Eurostania, Murica, Ghana, Zephosthan, or what ever country.

Hard to say, we've never had experience in seeing RV lose a MX title, and it's unlikely that we will.

That's a rad part, how can you not like the kid, his attitude towards training and riding the bike is awesome.
Watching him ride on sand you know hes one of the best in the world.
I wonder if his dream of coming over to the states is fading ?

True. But we've never seen Cairoli lose a title on a big bike either, in 6 years. That's what makes this year so awesome

I think RV should just forget about Lommel...its not the end-all be-all motocross race in the world...its one race in the series...he should focus on all the other rounds, and go into Lommel looking for a top 10. He can win this title without winning Lommel.

It's ridiculous how much emphasis the GP cheerleaders put on this one race. Obviously they do that because that is where-the only place where-they feel like Cairoli has an edge over Villopoto....but its still ridiculous. It's one race.

RV will turn a lot of heads at Lommel. All you Euro's want to compair the MXoN race at Lommel to how RV will do. There is a huge difference between riders showing up a week before a race and what RV is doing over there this year. I will say it again beeting Carioli at Lommel is probably out of the question but a podium is well within RV's reach.
This!

The reason people put so much emphasis on it, is because it's a very important race. It could potentially be the race where the gap between Cairoli and RV is the biggest it is all season. Cairoli will more than likely win both motos because he is an absolute beast in the sand. But behind him you'll have all the top regular GP guys, who are all really good in the sand, plus guys like Simpson, Bengtsson, De Dycker etc, who are all better in the sand than on any other surface. So RV will not have to be far off the pace to be a long way back. If RV goes there and only just manages two top tens, then the number of points he loses to Cairoli could be unrecoverable at that point in the season.

RV going 10-10ish (barring bike failure like rd 1) is laughable! Enjoy your sleep until August dreamer boy!

Titan said that he thought RV should just go for a top 10 at Lommel, I was just saying that it's an important race and if he does do that then he will find it difficult to make up that many points. I think he'll be better than that. But I certainly don't think it's beyond the realms of possibility that he's outside the top 5 at Lomme. There's some seriously fast sand riders over here. I could name at least 7 or 8 riders that are capable of a podium there

We are two races into this season, and you're saying that a 10-10 at Lommel would put RV so far back in points that he'll be out of contention? You do your best to pretend like you're not biased in all of your annoying posts, but this one betrays that. You have no clue what the points will look like come Lommel. Hell, maybe all RV needs to do is go 10-10 to control his massive points lead. Maybe RV needs to go 1-1 just to be within a race of TC's points. Nobody knows yet, except for you, apparently.

Every race is a "very important race". Any race could be the race that any rider has a crash or a mechanical and the points gap could increase dramatically. It's ridiculous to put so much emphasis on ONE RACE...the way you GP cheerleaders talk, its' like they are paying double points at Lommel or something.

You're absolutely right, RV doesn't need to beat him there to win the title.

But the 'GP cheerleaders' feel Cairoli has an edge over Villopoto at more than just Lommel, trust me.

So you wouldnt put that much emphasis on it if it was the first round? Really?

Barcia got a 3rd without much practicing and getting his bike dialled in and he beat guys like Desalle, Nagl etc. Ofcourse they were all racing for their country and Barcia had to go all out, but still...
That whole stacked field thing will be narrowed down after half way anyways, as always
