Don't be surprised if He's out for the season, that injury isn't something that gets better in a few weeks.

Kind of agree. A few races, enough to justify his MXDN appearance I'd say.

RV, Dungey, Eli.

Thanks for the info. I'll be giving MB a miss this year then.

I read somewhere that he would be back for matterly- cant see it though. I don't think we will see him again till later in the season (maybe even glen Helen) - he's out of the championship now, so why rush back when he's still injured? hope he does come back, but no point if he's not fully fit

really hoping that he races gps again next season- hopefully the frustrations of this season will motivate him to sign up for another year!!! if cairoli doesn't win the title this year (looking very possible at the minute) then we should see herlings in mx1 next year. Herlings, rv, nagl, desalle, cairoli, paulin, febvre- how good would that be!!!

Yeah I can't see how he would be fully fit just yet, there's not a lot you can do for that kind of injury and it takes a long while to heal. Like you say, the championship is gone for him now and rushing back would be a bad call. I'm going to a couple more GP's after Matterley so I'm hoping I may see him race a GP at some point. I think if anything being denied the chance to win the title through injury would make him more likely to stay and give it another shot so we'll see. I can understand if he doesn't come back, but one thing is for sure, Kawi will already be putting the pressure on him to make a decision for next season

Englishman (vital member who often posts accurate info) posted on MXTrax that he'd heard Mike Williamson would be wrenching for him for the rest of the season.

I'll be gutted if RV's not racing this weekend but the fact he still seems to be in the US does not look encouraging Sad
I can understand not publicising it for the sake of ensuring ticket sales but it's a bit frustrating not getting an update until the friday evening before each GP.

At least Alessi will be there I suppose, would still be cool to go there and see how he does.

YOu're right though, just had a gander at mxtrax and it sounds like RV is back in the States and will not be riding this weekend.

He also tweeted a picture of him and his wife having a meal in the US yesterday. She's must have just flown over because she was sightseeing in London only last week.

It does seem unlikely that his wife would fly to the U.S. after sight seeing in London only to fly back again on what Wednesday? My guess would be that it will be Maggiora at the earliest that he'll be back. Another 3 weeks

be interesting to see how alessi does at matterly

its a real shame that rv is injured, I think the point about ticket sales is why they are so vague with information regarding his return. Not good but probably true!

would expect that sort of injury to be months to heal fully not a few weeks?

Yeah it will be great to see Alessi.

Someone tweeted this pic of him supposedly practicing at Brookethorpe in Gloucestershire last week, but I don't know if it's genuine or not?

(edit: just read on his website that they were due to fly out on the 10th of May so maybe it really is him)

Well that does look like Alessi and that does look like Brookethorpe. Unless someone is a huge Alessi fan I would say that is genuine

Ahh no way, only across the bridge from me as well. We should have gone to see him practice if we knew about it jamma Pinch

Alessi has been here since last Monday I believe (he said it on one of the podcasts)

Highly doubt these 3. Which would ride the 250? We, as in the MX community, are let down more often than not. My bet is we don't see Eli at the MXDN this year. Which is really going to suck

Eli has said fuck yes he'd ride a 250.

That's your fastest team for sure.

RV is laughing all the way to the bank... he is and his lady are traveling the world on someone else' dime and just sucking it all in before the retirement begins.... I said it before, I dont think RV was 100% into the GP anyway....and that is just my thought on the matter....he was looking to retire and they (Kawasaki) big wigs) said...." hey how about we double your salary and you travel the world for 9 months.".... that is just the vibe i get on the entire deal...Now, I dont think he wanted to get hurt obvioulsy....but take the "actual" racing out of the equation and I think RV is just fine.... hope he returns soon and pulls a few W's off before he hangs it up

You don't need to sit down to win at Matterley Basin anyway, so that coccyx shouldn't be a problem... Wink

I agree it is the best team and i hope thats our team. I just don't see it happening. Have they ever taken a 450 rider and put him on a 250? If Eli continues what he started last weekend it's hard not leaving him on the 450.
