If you're referring to this tweet then nothing says he'll be on the line this weekend. No doubt it's a play on words and a marketing ploy to sell more GP tickets and that's all.
I'm guessing not...
Compared to this which is confirmation.
I think it's safe to say RV won't be racing this weekend.
You can always just get a ticket on the gate, but I agree it's a bit frustrating being kept in the dark.
Bastards!!
If Kenny can race with a broken back does that mean he's more badass than RV?
Pit Row
When it was announced he wouldn't be racing in Spain RV was quoted as saying:
“My goal is to be back racing as soon as possible, but to have a chance to fight for MXGP wins you must be 100 percent fit,” he said. “Together with the Monster Energy Kawasaki Racing Team we did our best for a prompt recovery, but unfortunately we have to wait a few more days before we'll be back racing.”
That statement makes it sound as though the injury was not all that bad and he was pictured at Valkenswaard sitting on a pit bike.
The week after the crash in Italy he said he would attempt to ride at Valkenswaard but didn't (understandable), then two weeks later they announced on the friday evening that he wouldnt be racing the Spanish GP. Now it's looking increasingly likely that he'll miss Matterly Basin and possibly more GPs. But we don't know for sure because we're being kept in the dark.
What's going on, is this going to be another RV > 2014 Outdoor Nationals scenario?
There's bound to be availability at a Premier Inn or Travel Lodge etc (that's if your missus doesn't have overly expensive taste...)
Xavier Boog testing RV's Kawi this week for the French GP. Will RV ever come back in GPs or is he in early retirement?
They posted it on Instagram from the Spanish GP. I thought it was quite a strange post as there's been no official word from either RV or KRT to back that up, but they must surely know something we don't to post it. It is strange, you would think it would be better for him to come out and say 'this injury will keep me out for a while, I'm going to go away and work on getting back to fitness. I'm out until I tell you otherwise'. It seems neither him or his wife can post anything on social media without 100's of people asking when he will return, that must get quite frustrating. Like others have said, maybe YS have asked him to keep it under wraps
You would like to think that if he was fit and able to he would at least come back and try and win a couple more GP's for the team. They did after all out their eggs in his basket for this season. They put all their effort into him, it would be disappointing if he didn't at least try to return
