Has RV already delivered his eviction notice, or will he wait until tomorrow?

Weimer is the real loser in all of this. He left the best trainer and his teammate to go have a more relaxed free time free ride program in CA, KRock slid right in and elevated his game big time. Happy as hell for KRock and really bummed so far for Jake.

Jake sucked. No aggression. His front wheel gets clipped in the Semi and he took his damn time picking up the bike. He is easily fast enough to have hurried back up and not have had to go to the LCQ, where he got third... I'm not saying he shouldn't be out there, but he shouldn't be on a factory Kawasaki. Prove me wrong Jake.

Good on RV for letting Roczen in...RV seemed quicker and he knows Roczen will be pushing the pace..smart of him to keep his enemy closest!

Exactly what I was thinking. Reminded me of Roczen last year when he thought "we'll, I'll just get in through the lcq"

Why should Jake need to prove anything to you?

Can we now declare Jake "most undeserving" of a factory ride now?

RV, Stewart, Dungey and Barcia have Roczen covered on speed. RV is safe THIS season.

All of the top 20 should be on factory bikes. Just my opinion.

Did you not see the huge swell on jakes arm after that crash? He had to be riding with a good bit of pain out there. Its the first race and you guys are already bashing riders, just give it a few rounds before ya'll start making ridiculous assumptions please.

While we're at it, let's give them all a trophy too. Heck, let's just divide up the prize money and salaries evenly so they'll all feel better about themselves. This is, after all (the new) America...

Wow! 9th fastest supercross racer in the world this week is pretty much like T Boone Pickens giving up his entire fortune to the poor and taking a job at a gas station. We'll just give the prize to you since it's obviously obama's fault!

I wouldn't make any assumptions at this stage. It was only one race and RV had things in control (except for his front wheel) so I don't think he's hitting the panic button.

It's probably just as beneficial for him as it is for Kenny. Jake could never push him like that.

Listen to the Pulp post race podcast, Jake was beat up by the crash with ET. I think he did great to salvage the night. Same goes for Deano.

Honestly, i think he is so far above everyone else that he plays it off for a few rounds and then comes back on purpose like last year. Remember when rc4 was winning everything and constantly getting booed? Rv2 has just figured a way around that and in the same time give the people a good show.

The Weimer family has given up so much for Jake to race at this level. I watched the 'Behind the outdoors' episode with him and it's a crazy story. He's in the same class as Tickle though IMO.... Crazy stupid fast and tented but a touch off the pace. It would be refreshing to see guys make that leap, but it seems rare for someone to make the jump up from a top 10 guy to a consistent contender for the win.... I guess Millsaps being the only recent one to come to mind.

Why didn't RV make any time up after he wrecked. Seems like he settled into the pace. We've seen him close a :07 gap in a lap before but he couldn't close it in about 10 laps last night.

For now, I'm just chalking it up to him learning his lesson from last year's A1 and taking the points available rather than pushing and continuously wrecking and starting 15 points down. I'm hoping that the rest of the class has upped their game to his pace and he just couldn't catch up. And I hope RV didn't tweak something when he went down. Didn't seem like anything could have happened to him.

No because he's got a spot rent free in Kenny's head... he had him beat until he threw himself on the ground.
