Villipoto is the same rider. He's just learning what fast really looks like. Reality bites boys. USA isn't the fastest any more.

Crying? Why would I be crying? I don't hang my emotions oh how these riders do. And even with that being said , RV will still walk away with this title , and I'm 100% convinced of that. I'll let the other guys cry about it , and mean while I won't let it affect my life. LMAO!....again.

One other thing.....RV had 1.5yrs off from any outdoor races. I'm surprised he's done this well , this fast to be honest. He'll be fine and once he gets back in his groove....It'll be the " Non-RV " fans that will be crying , trust me.

Comments like this makes me laugh "He's just learning what fast really looks like. " .... really. Wake up and stop post comment like a 8 year old kid who belive his dad got the biggest muscles of the bunch. Someone is maybe a bit mad that Canada never makes it in motocross to be a top dog, so you bascially have to attract united states black sheep Mike alessi to make your own series some what entertaining ?

RV isn't the guy everyone thought he was.

He is getting beat, and pretty easily at that.

A lot more races left though and if anyone can do it, RV can.

I think RV has had too much time off the bike and he isn't up to the speed everyone thought he was going to be at this point.

And right now, with his bike setup and new tracks, different places etc..it is a lot tougher for him especially when setting up a bike to new tracks is paramount.

And RV is not someone who takes to losing, he will keep grinding and has the speed to turn his season around.



Is that good enough for you??? Or would you like me to add pictures so its easier to understand???

Yup. That and not racing MX in 2 years. Along with new teams and new tracks.

None of the euros would do as good as he's doing over there over here. It's still a 2nd class racing league compared to the Ama nationals.
Second class, huh?

So let me guess, if he were actually leading the series, or he wins the championship, it'll be the greatest achievement in the history of the sport, right?

You can't have it both ways.

I almost seem to remember Ryan being so much faster at the last mxdn he ran that he got to wait around for Dungey so they could cross the finish together. But some of you are right. Those same guys are just way better than him.

Stop comparing MXDN with MXGP, it's like comparing a complete SX season with the Monster Energy Cup.
Excellent point.

@zook11 hm, have you ever followed the series before this year? How can you quantify it's second class status, or is just based on "eff yea 'MERICA" mentality?

the statement you made in your first post about Ryan not being the guy we all thought he was is very different from the statement you made in your second post explaining your rationale. You cannot blame Jeffro for questioning that ridiculous comment in your first post. Then you followed that up by being condescending. Well done.

when you watch the top euro guys ride they are pretty smooth in the corners except for a few areas today they all squared a few corners up.today and conserve energy and keep there speed up instead of squaring up corners and blast the throttle to try and get going. Rvs first moto you could see why he was going backwards with the lines he was taking.personally I don't think Rv is the Rv of 2013 yet and also since hes been off the bike awhile the competition has had time to catch up and improve as well. its no different when you step away for awhile from riding ether. when you saw Rv in 2013 he was a ripped sob and he doesn't appear to be as fit at this time just judging off of photos ive seen. one thing for sure though this track is definitely one of my favorites

Everybody seems to want to see RV run the sand , but I want to see how his' steer with the rear' setup works on the some of the concrete hard , slick tracks in Europe complete with square edge bumps and no berms.

No but you tell me how many points behind he is ? cause he is right there. oh my bad 27 not 17. yeah well those who shit talks are pathetic like i said. Idc wich side of the pond you are.

He is "right there"? My friend, I'll help you with your math, if Desalle just keeps coming in 2nd without winning any motos ,RV "Mr Right There" would have to win the next 9 motos in a row just to tie the current Red Plate holder. You consider that being "right there". You do realise they are now returning to the real tracks in Europe. I would consider lowering your expectations of "Mr Right there" to a realistic lower top ten in points if he manages to make it to the end of the season, For a rookie"s first GP season I personally would consider that a very good season and a thumbs up with respect for RV.

You'll be one of the guys that are shocked when the season ends and RV is in the lead in points. But go ahead and keep doing your trolling , it makes you look more dumb with every post. " Mr California ". Never even been to a GP I bet.

Jeffro just stop. Everytime you open your mouth about MXGPs you prove you know nothing about them. Why not just watch them for a year or two and learn something.

By not dominating, there's something wrong with him?

Who would be naive enough to believe that someone could hop over to a new series, race in new countries & tracks, on a new team & new bike (essentially,) after coming back from a major knee injury and not having had raced Motocross in 1 year, 6 months and 4 days (Lake Elsinore National on 8/24/2013) against riders who've been doing this for years.

Just to be competitive at this point is pretty badass. If you rewatch some of the 450 outdoor nationals in the past, RV didn't exactly set the world on fire the first couple rounds. He's getting way too over-analyzed right now. Wink

Just to expand on your 2nd paragraph, leaving speed aside I think a lot of Americans have totally under-estimated the challenge any US rider faces in the first year riding GPs.

Every single aspect of RV's personal and professional life will be COMPLETELY different to what he's grown up with. And it isn't just different once, he has to adjust to 15+ different cultures in the space of just 7 months. The Euros are brought up traveling to different countries from an early age and are used to adjustment. It's for that reason I think it's easier for Euros to go over and race the AMA nationals because they only have to adjust once. RV was always going to be disadvantaged.

It's a shame he's only planned one season in MXGP because he's only a few seconds off the pace and the experience of a year would have made all the difference in my view.

Sorry, rv isnt in shape for this season. He wont win it all here and he wouldnt be running roczen, dungey, canard, or
Tomac's pace for the whole
Moto back in supercross either. He could, but he's on his way out, hates training and quite frankly it shows

Wasn't he out riding around the same time as the MXdN last year?

I thnk he's doing pretty damn good,that last Moto was a tight race really,maybe he should have done some "meaningless National Championship " pre season racing instead of practicing but who knows,he's put a LOT of time and effort in

He's not travelling from state to state in his own country and racing each Saturday then going home,it's a different ballgame,hed STILL be dominating back home

For what its worth I don't agree with everything he says but The Source is on point quite a lot actually,its not what guys like Pilotdude or Jeffro want to hear though

ha Ha!. Insecure much? You need to chill out before you pop a brain vessel. Sorry to bust your bubble, but it's true. The euros have bridges the gap, and surpassed it. It will be a long time before Canada produces that kind of speed. We're ok with it. It's winter here half the year.

Now, whipe the spit off your face and calm down. You are embarrassing your mom.

After 6 races, it is plain to see that RV has a problem with his diet.

He needs to eat less roost.
