You love moto, but don't like the GP's (one of the top 2 series in the world, featuring some of the best riders in the world, often the top 4 within 10 seconds of one another, riding varied tracks on works bikes in incredible locations). Hmmm, OK.
But for sure there's a group of fans with the mentality of "I can't win, so I'm going to take my ball and go home".
That's no reflection on the more mature fans, or RV himself who is a beast.
Congrats, you have hit rock bottom. {pun intended}
don't get me wrong, I am gutted that RV is hurt , because I would have loved to have seen how he would have stacked up in the sand , and if he had have been fit , he would have got his race back , with AC crashing , so it would still be all even.
I know loads of people who went there just to see RV ride. not to see him fail , but to see him ride. Its a sport , the beauty of MX fans on this side of the world is that they appreciate the sport for what it is, and this year was looking like the perfect storm.
Hopefully the fact that both RV and AC are already facing an uphill climb will make the racing even more intense , especially with Paulin coming to the party too.

The championship is far from over. I anticipate every one of the top protagonists having a DNF or bad Moto to come. That's what happens in MX. Things could all change very quickly.
Just saying!
I've taken a look who scored every moto of the year so far in both classes, not too many of them anymore:
MXGP
Nagl, Desalle, Paulin, Febvre, Bobryshev, Simpson, Waters, Coldenhoff
MX2
Ferrandis, Justs
Still can't believe Tony ravioli had such a shitty day. I'd imagine that list is going to get a lot smaller after the next five rounds. Wish RV wouldn't have broke his ass. He could definitely still be in it in five more rounds if he wasn't hurt.
I think with his newborn son and his wife travelling with the motorhome to the races they look really happy in europe at the moment. Hope he can finally make it this season.

Typical, your poster boy is injured so you retort to slagging off genuine competitive points scorers who are working their butts off, scoring 5th place overall in Simpsons case, top ten for Searle coming back from broken vertebrate, Anstie 2nd in ..first moto . Sterry winning EMX 250 cc overall and Lewis Gregory second in EMX 300 T/ Stroke class.
You are just a bitter trol with nothing to add to the discussion..........wanker!
Its gonna be real lonely for you RV sack swingers when he stays home.

Read RV2's recent Cycle World interview about his GP team: "The team, for example. You have a new team, you get along well, but you are a foreigner. In the States, I raced for Kawasaki and they are like brothers."
And NO, the U.S.A. is not the epicenter of the world, but I am damned happy to call it home. I saw the rise of the U.S.A. in MX from 1973 to present. I'd say the U.S.A. has done rather well in MXoN/MXdN, No? The U.S.A. has a vast talent pool, if only by sheer numbers.
I'd say it is easier for a European to blend into the U.S.A. rather than vice versa.
I still follow the GP's, and yes, bought and viewed Valkenswaard, despite RV2 being out. Herlings is amongst the best I have ever seen, and his racing was amazing. Paulin was superb. I am a fan on KR and MM here as well.
I still love MX, and have attended High Point and Budds Creek as often as possible since 1980. They are within a few hours from me, and zero cultural differences.
If I were in Europe, I'd attend a few GP's, depending on the host nation. Some countries I'd skip even if it were free to attend.
