Nailed it, do the math!

Gonna be a KTM showroom there soon :-)

Call me what you will ( You're, not your a, GED education ?), RV still will not make it through the season intact.

Now that's ridiculous, I see these guys and their families week end and week out during the season and no one in the paddock wishes anyone harm, You watch them on TV a few hours on the weekend and dream you are part of the show, Enjoy yourself while we entertain you, it's our job.

"Quality of competition" Uh, what? James Stewart, Chad Reed, Ryan Dungey, Trey Canard, Justin Barcia, Eli Tomac, all have done quite well against the GP riders the last 3 years. RV still won't make it through the season intact, he'll have some good showings and be very competitive and win also but teammate Rattray will throw in the towel before...

It's been there for years & years, and will be there for many more, $

Not really, it's just that I own that lot, Thank You grandpa type thing...

He's going to retire with the #1 plate in hand and open a KTM dealership on the corner of N Chester & Roberts Lane with a McDonald's drive though on the side.

If he doesn't finish the season my answer is yes, Tony goes down also and has ridden with nagging injuries, he's human also most the time :-) Tony has his work cut out for him even without RV there, everyone seems healthy this year and a lot of the contenders are strangely on one year contracts this year if you...

That was the point I was getting to, the real GP tracks are unforgiving and all it takes is one mistake and it's over or at least a nagging lingering injury where a rider is only 80% and still riding and just keeps irritating the injury, You can look back and see that the top 10 GP contenders have had...

Actually the USA is only rated #12 on the World Countries Freedom ranking with a 76.2 rating. Not even on the podium for Freedom. http://www.heritage.org/index/ranking

Age, quality of competition, pressure to excel, real tracks that will bite you in a heartbeat.Different race weekend format, new environment/routine, lack of actual riding time on the unfamiliar tracks and having experience with how they change and develop under a variety of weather conditions the other riders have been adapting too since they were kids.

Qatar: Nagl Stribos RV World Championship Tony Paulin Van Horebeek I don't believe RV will finish the season intact.

I was just referring to "on any given day" on their favorite venues I can see any of the 2nd group taking GP wins but the overalls would be stretching it.Dean, Jake & Roman could be in the 2nd group with a GP win also on a exceptional day. It is going to be exciting and the first away races...

You forgot Bobryshev, Philippaerts & Boog. Almost half the gate has the ability to win GP's on any given day, very exceptional lineup this year.

It's a great package at MXGP TV, everything archived and available and Paul Malin the announcer is very much part of the whole GP Circus and has been for years, very informative and he gives you the feel of he's right back in the saddle again and talks the rider's lingo.It is a plus for those who are just getting...

You have to have hope when you have looked mediocre for the last 3 years against the GP elite

RV should excel and could be on the podium as it's a US style track, it'll be a endless follow the leader event after they get strung out into the race. Good thing it's the lead off GP race as it is pretty much a useless disgrace to what a GP should be, get it over with and get the...

There's Ken, Bobby, Paulin, Desalle, Philippaerts, Frossard & Searle who all have a rep of riding a wide track and are not intimidated one bit. Tony just relies on his talent to not be part of any antics, and Butron is a bar banger during his 3 lap holeshot spurts. Ken is a monster though when he's in the saddle...

Joel is a class act. Who did you always see walking the track and watching the other races from the weeds in the infield while everyone else was at their rigs in the depot? Joel & Stefan. Joel would always stop what he was doing and sign a autograph or just talk with the kids and rub their heads and...
