While urinating, Ryno is easily capable of welding titanium.

I agree with that. For some reason though I see a feel good story of the year coming at the usgp and ryno. Maybe I just want that to happen so bad I'm seeing things? Either way a top 10 would be a good story but a top 5 or a podium would be a story for the ages.

If it were an overseas venue I'd say this may not turn out so hot...

But Ryno has Glen Helen wired. And he's riding well, but hasn't raced much. If he rides a smart race he'll finish strong.

Ryno is such a badass that sometimes his rear tire will jump off the rim,just so it doesn't get dizzy from his wide open throttle hand.
His radiator shroud graphics have been known to leap off the bike due to the wind velocity that he puts on them going down the hills at Glen Helen.
His mx gloves often run and hide due to feelings of inadequacy when looking at his calloused meathooks of hands.
In a crash,his helmet has been known to try to hide INSIDE Ryno's head.

he is in shape and riding in his backyard against guys who have never seen this track and are a long way from home..........he might do better than a lot of you mightthink.........the longer and rougher the track the better he will do.........he could prolly top 5 a national if he was serious so a top 5 at a gp at his home track.......look what dowd did at the wick

I am happy for him, but I also dont want him to go out and get smoked badly, which is what Im worried will happen. You wont find a bigger Ryno fan then me, but he isnt on the top level anymore. If he managed a top 10 I would be stunned.

that has to be one of the top 5 all time pictures in motocross, plus dont you guys forget he became one of , if not, the toughest pro racers out there when i saw him riding with duct tape instead of a cast on his leg.

So why did he get the nickname Crying Ryan?

That maybe Villopoto's nickname, certainly not Ryno's.

With all due respect, Ryno is a bad dude, but I don't see him beating any of those guys. Let alone winning.

Any points (top 20) would be a big achievement. This isn't 1998. Ryno did a British race last year and he was around 13th or 14th with laptimes to match. He's a bad ass but he's an ageing bad ass. I hope he does well, but people shouldn't pile unreasonable expectation on him or you'll just set yourselves up for a disappointment.

There you go again! spoiling all the fantasy with a dose of fact! Wink

Hopefully things will go better for him at GH, but really not too likely - hope I'm wrong.

ryno is a bad dude...hes in better shape than a lot of top pros just becuase he wants to be fit. As long as he gets good starts hes gona kill. I hope he wins but top 5 is def in his reach without a doubt....has anyone seen the bike he practices on? ragged ragged out 09 450 and he kills it. Hes just redic on a bike. Go RYNO....YOUR THE MAN!!!!

I'sn't Mike Brown rumoured to be riding? I'd be more weary about him, having placed 7th overall in the first round of the Outdoor Nats last year.

Given their recent performance in the GP races this year, Pourcel and Coppins in the top5 is a brave pick. Sebastien was there in the beginning of the year but has since dropped off it seems like, Coppins hasn't placed better than 9th as of yet.

Though, I really like Coppins, I hope he does good.

i see ryan coming in around 15th 16th place.

last years british camp round is what im basing it on, home turf & good fitness will see him to a strong finish.

Why is it that I suddenly really want Ryno to win?

Do we get video proof of your defecation escapades?
Actually, I don't know that we want video proof....
I seem to remember alot of people on here saying how Ryno was going to beat everyone at the last round of the British championship....he went 9-13...I think.

Now all of a sudden he's going to get a top 5 in a world championship race ? I know Ryno has the knowledge of the track but the GP riders have alot of time to figure out the track. It's not like they turn up...eat a burger...have a monster energy and go ride. They will know the track inside out come race time on the sunday.

Not too sure where the Albertson bandwagon has gone. He had a bad weekend and they all jumped off.

I like the guy alot so I hope he can get Agueda out of his head and get back up in the top 10.

Yep, top 10 in Britain is possible as he proved in one moto last year, but top 10 at the GP for Ryno? I doubt it but maybe track knowledge and his determination will help him get a top 10-15.

Dont forget along with the regular stacked top 15-20 GP riders you will have BT, Alessi, Wey, Dietrich, Brown and more in there, the field will be stacked with world class riders, getting a point will be a big achievement the fastest battle for 20th place ever I think.

Yep Jimmy has a good chance to do well at Glen Helen, maybe a top 5, more people should be getting behind him and Osborne- they are the ones representing their country every weekend around the world. He had a bad weekend in Portugal but that is going to happen this year, ups and downs depending on tracks/starts, and if you get a bad start in GPs you can forget moving through the field unless you are Cairoli or someone like that. 8th to 17th are all about the same speed !!

Alessi is riding the US GP as well very little hype about him coming into outdoors this year for some reason, and since he lives at Glen Helen and has been riding it every week, he should be favourite American to win.. unless James shows up...if Mike is going to beat Cairoli anywhere it will be Glen Helen I think.

Roll on Hangtown and Glen Helen!

Top 5, top 10, top 50? It doesn't matter...

At the end of the day everyone will know that at least ONE rider that day, did NOT leave ANYTHING on the track.

There just seems to be a lack of the Stanton/Ward/Dowd/Kiedrowski/Hannah/McGrath/Carmichael ethic out there over the last decade or so. There are a few exceptions (RV &RD come to mind), but look at the kind of rides Stanton would put in. He would win by the shear force of will and his own desire to be in the best "racing condition" (and that includes prep as well as physical) of anybody on the track.

Top 5? Nobody is a "sure thing" for a top 5. Rhyno is CAPABLE of winning this race for some very legit reasons. No promises, just the oportunity to prove it.

The G.P. just went from a "...I'm going to go riding this week instead.." to a "must....follow....Rhyno...." weekend.

Go back and look at that pic from the 125cc (back when they were 125cc) National. Are YOU going to doubt that man?

Yeah thats the spirit Debbie Downer! seems to work out well for John Dowd once a year!


I dont think he will win, but I think its awesome he believes he can. Good luck.. And like he said its 'just for fun' and isn't that the only reason we ride these expensive toys? Wish there were more American riders taking this attitude to the GP.

Dowd would be my pick between the two if he decided to race.

If you think Ryno's getting a top 5 you're an idiot. Look for him in 16-20th place. That said, GO RYNO!!!!!
