He is not slow. Same day as the MXdN? If so I think he could be in the running to podium.

MXoN is next Sunday, but I fully expect good results from Ryno. His fitness and talent will be tough to match.

Go to Worcsracing.com and check out his margin of victory at Glen Helen last weekend and the competition. Keep in mind that this is also a two hour race. Top rated Vets usually don't quit the circuit because they slow down, It's usually because the abuse on the body from "constant" training and racing take their toll.

He told me at Steel City in '07 that he retired because he was having elbow problems and his arm was going numb after an hour or so. Maybe he got it fixed or something. All I know is he is a bad ass.

So, a 30 min. moto is hard on the body but a 2hr. Worcs race isn't? Just sayin....

Rode well but sometimes you guys underestimate euro events...I had him down for a top 7 finish which would have been awesome for a guy retired and making a comeback..

I'd like to see a race report on Ryno cause something must have happened. Lamay didn't have a good outdoor season here but gets a 6th there? I don't think Lamay is as fast as Ryno.

I've always though Turbo Reif was by far the coolest MX racer name.

I'd like to see a race report on Ryno cause something must have happened. Lamay didn't have a good outdoor season here but gets a 6th there? I don't think Lamay is as fast as Ryno.
I agree Ryno is faster Going by the lap times Ryno was faster than Lamay in fact everyone in the top 10 was faster than Lamay, still he is fast he got a top 10 in the US this year as a true privateer. Which just shows that Ryno probably has top 10 US speed still.

The 09 british Champ Anderson was out injured as was Nunn it shows just how fast the British guys are on their own turf... just like the US guiys are fast on their home turf.

On the UK boards everyone is saying how nice a guy Ryno is and that it was a pleasure to see a legend like him ride in the UK...he has made a good impression on the UK fans for sure.
