Sorry, was in a hospital bed for 5 days and got a little lost here.. why is RV failing and what is the problem again?

He's 4th in points and has won one overall out of 3 rounds right? I finally got to watch Argentina properly tonight and I don't get it.. 10 seconds between top 4? Is that bad?

That said, it looks to me, (from the comfort of my desk chair) that he hasn't fully got his bike dialed. Unlike the states, over there it doesn't just get rough, but, on the European tracks even in the straights there are rollers or something everywhere. In other words, there is no place to rest, and yes I think he needs a plusher setup. But then again I have no business telling Ryan Villopoto what he needs....lol.

At the end of the day, I don't see the sky falling in any way, in fact, I think what RV is doing so far is remarkable.

Yes, I know, we didn't need another thought on this, but the Norcos told me otherwise Tongue

And another thread.....

RV certainly isn't doing bad but i for one expected him to be better. And i don' t think i was the only one. While i thought that the world championship would be a very close battle between RV and AC a lot of people on this board thought it was going to be a walkover for RV. If you look at it from that perspective RV really isn't doing very good.

Only 3 GP's down and RV currently is 27 points behind. That is an entire moto. I did not expect that. I expected RV to be leading after the first 3 rounds and i expected AC to start winning and closing the gap to RV from the moment the circus would hit the European continent. Looks like i was wrong. Maybe i am wrong again when i say that now AC is going to start winning races. Maybe RV will start winning races. I don't really care. I'm just loving this season.

Just from what all I've read on vital, I thought it was the end of the world. He's like 17 points back from Cairoli?

This GP season is starting to remind me of RVs 2011 outdoor season. He didn't set the world on fire then either, but he did win the c'ship. Maybe the same will happen this time!Smile

You know what I don't get.....

Why is everyone still talking only about RV and AC.

I think the world will implode if we get to the end of the season and Desalle still has the Red plate and Nagl finishes in second with either RV or AC rounding out the final step of the podium!

Dam I bet Desalle is loving the fact all the attention is on the other two why he goes about his way with the Red plate.

From my POV, it's only because AC and RV are proven winners most times. Nothing to say the other guys can't win, but history has a way of repeating itself no?

I'm just some schmuck sitting on a sofa, but imo it is just a vacation to him. Oh and... His line choices look like heck, and i have no idea why he put on so much muscle mass. Also imo, his bike doesnt look like its that far off even though everyone says it is. Anywhos, back to my couch.

Something like that yes. But be honoust, before Qatar the question was not "is Ryan was going to win the race ? " but "How many seconds will Ryan be in front of the 2nd place rider ?". To see after 3 rounds that Ryan is only 4th in the standings must be a blow to many of those guys that thought that Ryan was completely going to dominate this 2nd rate series. Viewed in that perspective Ryan must not be doing so good.

The sand tracks (Valkenswaard and Lommel) are still coming up. Desalle will loose points to Cairoli in those 2 rounds.

I personally, never thought he would "dominate" .. I did think he would do better. But really looking at the situation I think he's doing great and like i said, I didn't get to watch the last race fully until recently and that second moto was great! 4 guys all right there!

edit: And he kicked ass in the quali... yes, just a quali but still

My topic and I know that what counts in Vital MX is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit...

My topic is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its lifespan.

Maybe I should start a topic asking how I can possibly wash my bike without a plug in the exhaust... I mean, how would I go about that? Then i wouldn't be able to point the water right at the hole in the end without water getting inside?

Would that be a better topic? I'm confused, what was wrong with mine, please advise, thanks.

Funny whom Steve decides to go after.. no wonder all the fun people are gone.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

How do I wash my bike again?

No, I understood the sarcasm.. great. Funny, I say I've been in the hospital for 5 days and the lead mod of the board decides to make fun of me. But not the guy that can't wash his bike (for example).

Longer series with 17 rounds instead of 12. He will adapt more to the two day format and start getting used to his new setup. These things do take time, and when he figures it out, will be a much better series that is already good.

Villopoto certainly hasn't been the same since 2013 MX. Even in the 2014 SX series, he wasn't the Villopoto we are used to seeing. He got in the lead several times and lost it. That's something he never did in 11-13 aside from Dungey in Minnesota 2013. He's said his entire career that this is a job and that's how he sees it. I don't think he's dedicating everything for the championship like he has his entire career. This is more of a farewell tour traveling the world. Sure the championship would be great. I'm sure he'd love to have it. The amount of time put in to get it though is something I don't think he's interested in. He's an incredible rider, so he might still win it all and he'll certainly still win races. That being said, if you completely ignore Villopoto's finishing position the last five years and just focus on his riding, it's not the same. It's certainly not the Villopoto we have been used to. Maybe something will change or maybe I'm just talking out my ass. Time will tell.
