Overall your last sentence is correct the series are vastly different which is what we are seeing now, RV's wide open style is a direct conflict where you have to slow down to go faster.
**Using MXdN as a barometer is idiotic, USA is always at a disadvantage, but when the race is in the US we win every time. Remember how most Americans were convinced AC222 sucked because of his performances at the MxDN, which is obviously not the case.

seems like "BEFORE" is the magic word
We may be seeing a RV that did not take training as seriously as before.
It's suprising to look at the diversity of the tracks weve had too and without hitting the sand yet either,its a learning curve for sure,the comments on Teuchental and Kegums by the US riders were about how rough they were and caught some of them out a bit
Fitness wont be a problem for RV,hes been at this long enough,and with a top trainer,being back on the bike from last October is plenty of time too,the Euros do struggle in the US climate,its down to them not being used to it,all these guys are in shape
There's a lot more racing to go,its not over,im sure the pendelum is going to swing a few ways yet
What do you exactly think that another year will change for RV?
GP of Patagonia was a first time track for everyone and guess what the results were pretty the same as they were today. But noone talks about this, funny.
Reed and Townley also Ferris sucked in their first year in europe,They did so much better in their second year.
Villopto has to adapt to the lifestyle etc not just the track like the normal GP riders have to.
But never to the flag !! Coldenhoff nearly had him in Latvia !!
Pit Row
RV is as fit as anyone out there, is he lacking experience , YES he does, thats why he is struggling nothing else.
Its exactly the same deal when a european comes to america and ride, they struggle in their first season no matter supercross or nationals, why would it be any different for RV look at roczen struggling big time in the heat, "is the ama tougher because of that, no its just different, the tracks are different in europe, can rv learn them and pace AC heck yeah he can but he needs more time, there is no way or was no way he would win by ease, people who said such things dont know the depth or quality outside europe, but it dosent change the fact that RV is still of the world greatest and if he find himself comfortable he is more than capable of winning races and beat the best of europe, things have not clicked for him, you could say the same for Paulin, Hoorebeek, he is still ahead of these guys " are they just as bad as rv now" or ??,
Funny how many keep using MXDN as the barometer but at the same time keep whining that people cant use MXDN to judge anything, double standards if you ask me.
Im a fan of both series, but its more then obvious to me that some europeans really want to have confirmation since they been mocked by the pathetic words USA will smoke everything, so now when they dont some certain individuals on this forum just goes 100% berzerk, with social media this day its easy to trashtalk behind the computer.
Like i said before those americans or those europeans trashtalking each other or judging "wich series is the best" are both just as pathetic.
MXGP / AMA nationals, different series with different amosity quality , styles. I have yet to see anyone come to any side of the pond to put a cllinic to any series, learn and adapt in the first season is inevitable, and RV are no exception.
STAMP IT!
Apart from his two novice moments (stall and flip), he's actually doing alright and he's pretty much the same speed as those guys who are not exactly slouches.
