The hype and the expectations. I for one was hoping for more is SX. He was just riding around last night like a lapper in indy.

He was sick. People think I just completely hate him but the truth is I just think he was hyped up to be the next RC by all of the RC fans who didn't want to root for James or Chad. I just don't think he is that good.

As of now he is absolutely following in RCs footsteps. RC floundered for a year or two indoors. If RV gets beat this summer then maybe not but as of now he's on his way to follow RCs path.

You said it, you don't think.

He's doing as good as RC was his rookie season. One bad race when he was sick and people wanna throw him in the gutter. Amazing.

RV will probably win the Motocross Championship.

James and RC killed themselves going too fast. RV isn't fast enough to kill himself. That is basically what I am trying to say. Not in a bad way though. A lot of people aren't that fast.

You are beyond idiotic.

1. Has Chad Reed EVER won a supercross championship when either Carmichael or Stewart was NOT injured? NO he has NOT.

2. Has Chad Reed EVER won an outdoor National Championship? NO he has NOT.

3. Has Chad Reed EVER won a single Motocross des Nations individual championship? NO he has NOT.

For you-a NON RACER--to make the claim that you "just don't think he (Villopoto) is that good" shouts out only that YOU JUST DON"T THINK. YOU ONLY HATE.

In 2007, Villopoto STOMPED Chad Reed AND THE REST OF THE WHOSE WORLD while on a SMALLER bike. I WAS THERE AND I WATCHED IT HAPPEN. WERE YOU? In 2008 he stomped Reed AND THE REST OF THE WORLD again. Reed has faired so poorly outdoors that he has QUIT. In 2007 at Washougal, I watched Villopoto ride 4 SECONDS per lap faster than Ben Townely. 4 SECONDS. Count out 4 seconds. That was PER LAP.

Right this very second, after 9 races of his first season on 450s, RV's first season compares VERY closely to Ricky Carmichael's first season. The same Ricky Carmichael who perferred the OUTDOORS (like RV) and went on the be the greatests rider in HISTORY. BETTER than Jeremey McGrath, BETTER than Bob Hannah, BETTER than James Stewart.

So why don't you shut your non-racing ignorant stinking RV hating mouth about how he's just "not that good"? He has ALREADY done things Reed has NEVER done and NEVER will. And that goes for your other favorite, Jason "I'm sick this week so that's why I rode practice but not the main" Lawrence.

I never saw him as dominant in SX. MX, he shows the speed and stamina to be a multiple champ. I guess we'll see if it translated to the 450's.

Regarding the title of this thread, since when does 9 races in a guy's rookie season equate to "ever"? Did RV live up to the "hype" when he won for the 3rd time at last year's Motocross des Nations and won his 3rd outdoor Nationals title?

So, a guy who doesn't race isn't allowed to have an opinion on racers?

Sure they are allowed to have opinions on racers. And when their opinions go beyond idiotic and into the obvious land of Ihatistan, they will be called out as such in an ungentle manner.

Being a racer has nothing to do with his opinion. It's your logic that's idiotic. If you were listening over the past 3 years, many in the media drew parallels between RV and RC, multiple times.

It isn't hard to see why people would compare them but one was a truly dominant racer. The other one had success but I just don't look at him as on that level. I feel like he can have a great career as a guy like Windham or whatever but I don't see him winning all the championships.

Well, he has done pretty damn well outdoors in the Lites and MXoN. And, RC was always challenged whether he had the speed, but he always managed to step up every year and prove the doubters wrong.

I guess we'll see this summer, won't we?

He's won 7 of 9 of the pro championships he has competed in. The only ones he didn't win were his rookie season of supercross lites and last year's supercross lites that he barely lost to Canard after riding the entire series with a bad wrist and DNFing the first race.

7 of 9 is a championship winning percentage of .778. Chad Reed has won 2 of 12 pro championships he has competed in. That is a winning percentage of .167.

So? Damon Huffman won his 125 title with only one loss, but never stepped up in the big bores. Kevin Windham showed great promise in the 125's, but never managed to put together the speed and dominance to become an MC or RC.

There are only so many RC's, MC's, and Stewarts. Although RV's done great in the Lites, it's the big bores where guys solidify their names in history as the greats. RV isn't rocking the world in the big bores in SX. The jury's still out in MX, too.

I'm not sure how Chad got into this thread but how do you explain the 2 out of 12? Seems like some hating going on, not that the RV hating is acceptable either.

Chad:

1999-Australian Supercross Champion
2000-Australian Supercross Champion
2002-AMA 125cc West Coast Champion
2003-World Supercross GP Champion
2004-AMA Supercross Champion
2008-World Supercross GP Champion
2008-AMA Supercross Champion
2008-Australian Supercross Champion

Ryan:
2006 AMA National Motocross Lites 250 Champion
2007 AMA National Motocross Lites 250 Champion
2007 AMA West Supercross Litess Champion
2008 AMA National Motocross Lites 250 Champion

Ryan is still young and still has a lot of years to add to the list.
