Screw him. He will be gone before you know it. It's just some stupid kid with no backbone. Pretty easy to tell the difference with the posting grammar.

After watching it on a 52" screen I'm convinced it was more than a mistake on RVs part, and I'm also convinced that he's not out of it but it's no longer completely in his control. This was one of the tracks that he was supposed to get left on and he was right there, he still looks confused on how to ride a track that was probably great on 80s bikes. Kind of a joke on 450s.
I also forgot about the electrical issue that cause RV to stall the bike on the start of the first moto of the year. This stuff just doesn't happen to someone of RV's caliber, something is screwy with the kawi.

I think there is something to say for the pressure of racing an unfamilar series on unknown territory and with the weight of a nation on his shoulders.

Im certain RV underestimated things, just like some of his more rabid fans, and all of a sudden he finds himself experiencing a situation that he's never really been in before. He's the underdog now, but the ironic thing about that is he will probably gain even more foreign fans because of it.

was saying something similar to my old man last night- must be strange for villipoto suddenly having so much competition, after a career where he has dominated easily! other than the 07 season where townley was battling with him all summer (both of them miles infront of 3rd place) and dungey challenging him at times (again, both of them a long way infront of the rest of the riders in the class) he has been virtually unstoppable his whole pro career! literally head and shoulders above his competition

now he has another 6-8 riders all running the same pace (or faster) than him each week. Hopefully he will embrace the challenge and keep working at it. Him coming to race the series has made it even better to watch, im thoroughly enjoying the season so far! No excuses from ryan himself either, despite there being plenty of interesting excuses on here!!

bring on valkenswaard sunday!! mx1 is awesome this year- so many potential race winners! I still think we will see febvre, van hoerbeek, Searle and simpson challenging for wins at some stage this season. The pace is fast and very even through the top 10-15 riders. GREAT season for the fans

Team Mechanics not just the lead mechanic and the supportive relationships they have with their riders are under estimated.

Well let's be honest. If you weren't such a prick, he wouldn't have targeted you and you're the one who put the pic on the interweb. Anything goes on the interweb. You would know better than many.

I thought Ryan rode pretty good yesterday. He got 2 good starts which was important, and as a result he put himself in contention and he was able to run the pace of Cairoli pretty well. I'm glad that he is uninjured and he can race in Valkenswaard next week.

I think the Championship will be extremely difficult for him now. He's almost a full GP down on 3 different riders. But you still shouldn't give up on him, even if he doesn't win the title, what he has done this season has been extremely good for the sport and demands great respect. I'm not really a big fan of the guy myself, but I respect him enormously for what he is doing, and I am more of a fan of him now than I ever was when he was racing in America

I can see Searle on a good day. But Simpson no way man he is not near the top 3 but ya never know!

2011 wasnt easy at all for Ryan? Dungey had one major DNF wich was a setback ?

Yeah i agree a long good season ahead !

point being that he only had one real challenger (they were a long way in front of the rest ) - now you've got nagl, cairoli, RV, desalle febvre, van hoerbeek all battling at the front on a similar pace. Paulin ought to be up there at some point - Searle is very good at matterly, when hes back to full fitness he will be up there

don't count out simpson, he's very good in the sand! winning the lierop gp a couple of years ago is proof of that! he wont be a title contender, but he is a very very good sand rider! could be up there at valkenswaard this weekend, and will definitely be up there at lommel!!

Simpson won just a few years ago as a privateer at Lommel.MX1 2013 if my memory is right.

I think he was on the podium at Lierop last year at that grand prix. Checked and he was indeed 3rd.

He is more likely for a podium than Searle.

Not a huge fan of Simpson. But like you said maybe he will have a good weekend at one of the sand tracks.

Then he needs to turn this season around big time, cause he lacks speed and consistency as we speak. Maybe of the beaches will help him regain some confidence.

It was otherwise, in 2013 he won the GP of Lierop on a semi-factory Yamaha, last year he was 3rd at Lommel with the KTM.

As i said: Perhaps one of the beaches will be one of his best chance to bounce back and land the podium , cuz so far he has not impressed at all.

Qatar aside I think RV is doing fine. He was in the middle of the leading pack of riders in both motos and I genuinely felt this would be a circuit that he would struggle to adapt to. He was unlucky with the loop-out but he was hardly traling around in 20th place!

I think he'll do well at Valkenswaard next week (assuming he's not injured), Spain might be tricky one but then it's Matterly Basin where I would put money on him going 1-1.

I dont really understand this defeatist mentality of some people. I can only assume it's down to the realisation that it isn't turning out to be the annihilation that they'd predicted. What we have is a truly exciting series with lots of riders on a similar level and anything can happen. This is what racing should be about, not the same rider dominating every week.

no excuses, those euros are great riders.

the pissing match of black and white is just wrong and silly. Shampoo is better- we clean the hair!- no, conditioner is better we make the hair silky and smooth!

gps and racing in america are just different.

gp champions have come to america and taken seasons if not years to adjust to the full intensity wire to wire in MX, or the technical aspects of sx.

the gp racers seem to carry momentum so well and have great throttle control. It doesn't look like balls out run it hard into every corner and just blitz the track is a strategy that works too well on those courses not to mention the numerous comments even DV has made about his setup still being too hard for gp racing.

i mean, if you didn't realize there are different skill sets to win after everts passed js7 around the outside while standing on his pegs, you're probably not paying close enough attention.

for some reason everybody wants to "win" this argument when it's just a matter of opinion. Hell, we all win, we get to watch world champs come to america and compete and now we get to see RV2 take on the world and his success, struggles and failures along the way. I'm just enjoying the racing. Hope you guys are enjoying arguing with each other.

nagl was a beast yesterday, walked em in moto 2.

Dunno how anyone couldn't be a fan of Simpson. Then again he probably doesn't know anything about him other than the fact that he wouldn't let RV go by easily a few rounds ago.

I dont like him ? My personal opinion. Do you have to know him personal to judge him? I just dont root for the guy. Its not like i "hate " him i just dont like him? And i think he is a bit overrated. But he is a decent rider sure i give him that.

I didn't say you hated him I just don't really understand where you're coming from. If you knew him and his story I'm sure you would be a fan. Also, Simpson has been consistently one of the most underrated riders in GP's...

It did seem leading up to the crash that DeSalle was pulling him on the straights, whether it was better corner speed/lines, horsepower or maybe all of the above.

His dad Willie raced the GP circuit for years as a privateer and Shaun has been doing the same for much of his career. Got nothing handed to him and has quietly made his way to become a GP winner with good ol' hard work. He's also one of the most friendly, down to earth guys you will ever talk to. When I was much younger we were watching him race locally and managed to catch him walking past. Instead of just signing something and walking on him and his dad came underneath our awning, chatted with us for a quite a while and gave us a few signed posters. When I compare that to my experience of trying to get an autograph from Searle while he looked like he wanted to be a million miles away, yes I'm a fan.
