So what that means is , our " part timer " MX riders over here , usually ( I mean usually the past 35 freakin years ) whooped the shit out of everyone else. So take your 5 minutes of glory while you can jagoff , because it won't last long.
Basically you`re back to pre-Qatar chestpounding- GP racers are B class who`d be smoked by 30 sec if not for(enter excuse). Your embarrassing yourself. RV don`t need your bullshit.
Argentina was a brand new track in America. I didn`t see no game over. Your lack of respect for GP racers is troubling. Right now your on par with zook11.
What the fuck, where did that come from? Average speed? No way, that's more than 100 kays, and average assumes there are bits they're going much faster at times... Nope.

In answer to your question, I think RV probably learned more from the GP guys than vice versa. But if you sent Cairoli or someone to America then they would probably learn more from the American guys. That's just the way it is. There's not a lot between the series, they're just very different. I think there's 1 or 2 guys racing on either side that could probably win anywhere in the world, but other than that, their isn't much difference. Especially now as the AMA seems to get more and more different nationalities competing each season
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Baiters gonna bait btw guys
And also entertaining on occasion
I know that in a least one of those races , he came from a dead last first turn crash.
Pit Row
Another fact is that RV himself is twice the racer he was back in 2007. And in 2007 on an American track that he knows ( much like how the GP guys know a lot of their tracks ) , RV completely destroyed everyone on a 250F. Being older , wiser , faster and on a big 450 there are reasons why he destroyed everyone over here. A reason why CD25 was any where from 35sec - 1:13 down against him " Here ".
Have the GP guys destroyed him like that over there? No.
Have any of those GP guys ever done any SX? No.
So yeah , RV does MX part time. Half his career it's been SX. He's been out of outdoor racing for 1.5yrs , and some of you goons come in here and gloat.
The GP racers themselves are awesome no doubt about that. RV is / was out of his element. But at least he had the balls to go over there and try. I would like to see more GP guys come over here and do what CD25 and KS22 did....race some nationals. And hell , if they are as " well rounded " as some of you guys go on boasting about , lets have them line up and do some SX next year.
The GP racers are great. The tracks ( for the most part ) great. The local fantards that frequent this forum.....idiots. And no , I don't mean everyone , just the handful of idiots that just love kicking the American's when they are down. Maybe I would be a little butthurt to if I got my ass kicked for the past 35yrs more times than not.
So the great James Stewart couldn't even beat Desalle on a bike that was not his @ Dilla? http://vault.racerxonline.com/2010-08-14/450/unadilla
What's this about James going 24-0 again?
Roczen won the E/W shoot out in 2011 when he wasn't even racing in America full time, and now has an SX and an MX title over there after only 3 years racing there full time. Pourcel won a SX title very soon after going over there, and should/would have won a MX title if it wasn't for incredibly bad luck. Townley also won a SX title pretty quick and ran RV very close outdoors. Musquin now has a SX title. Desalle has had pretty successful wildcard rides over there. To be honest, I can't really think of any GP riders that have gone to America and failed.
RV may have destroyed the European competition at Budds Creek in 07, but no more so than what Herlings and Cairoli did at Lommel in '12, it was only one event.
So really, your point of RV being better in Europe than GP guys have been in America is, as we say in England, absolute bollocks.
oh and you forgot to mention , the last MXDN race of RV he was 3rd ...remember ...Herlings as just a 16 year old kid was 2 nd ...... RV is still one of the best , and you cant judge them on a race like BUdds Creek .....
Let me make this clear. There is NO SX IN EUROPE!
How difficult is that to understand?! The fact that European riders are able(not everyone, but a few very talented riders) to win races and championships in US SX is in my opinion amazing. Let's make a series of 10 tracks and all of them are like Lierop and Lommel. Then put all the best riders from the world in it, what is going to happen? Who will win? I don't think i need to answer that. That is the same thing as saying "oh, RV would smoke all the Europeans, Asians, Australians and Africans in SX!"
We don't have these complete SX tracks to ride in Europe, i feel like there will be a day when SX will be big in Europe but at this time SX is nonexistent in Europe. We haven't got the SoCal tracks that guys are able to pound lap after lap every week, our guys don't even touch SX tracks. AX yes, not SX.
And i'm sorry if i offended somebody.
