It's a shame that Stewart had such bad luck in the beginning of the season because it'd be a really good battle for the points between him and RV at this point. I'm curious if Villopoto would be able to ride any faster if he needed to beat Stewart for the championship and wasn't just in protect mode...

Personally I think that there should be stricter rules regarding how long you can stay in the class. Like say 4 full years maximum, with a full year meaning without missing more than half of the year due to injury. And I don't follow any of the traditional sports so I wouldn't know what their rules ...

I was just saying nobody was trash talking Davalos when he wasn't in a winning position. Why are you assuming that because I'm defending him, that I'm on the "bandwagon" or that I'm a fanboy? I don't give a shit for Davalos and I sure as hell won't care if he wins or loses the championship. I just ...

I guess I don't know anything about moto since it's been my entire life since the age of 3 and raced at Loretta's. Doesn't mean you're not an idiot. There are a lot of racers out there that fail when it comes to intelligence and excel when it comes to ignorance. So I'm an idiot because I feel that ...

Ddavis and the other Davalos haters need to quit running their mouths. Get a life MiNi. I actually know what Garrett is talking about and knows the Davalos family a lot better than we do. I understand it's out of his control, I just don't see Davalos as an amazing rider, he doesn't just whip stuff ...

I was just replying to how he said us "dirtbags" haven't been bashing him until he won a race. I simply stated that nobody here really wanted him to win the title from the get-go, either.

This topic amazes me. Davalos has never been expected to win races, let alone championships before. Regardless if he's been in the 250 class for this long, he deserves the title just as much as anybody else out there. He moves up at the end of the season anyway, so who gives a shit. Besides, none o...

Haha dude.. all I'm saying is every excuse you make for him is irrelevant because every other rider out there seems to deal with all their problems without having to ride the same bike for 9 years. If other guys did it then I'd be fine with it, but there's a reason he's the only one doing it.

I don't know exactly and I said "many factors" for that reason. But, if I were to guess I would think that it has to do with injuries, personal issues, sickness, shit whatever that can hinder you from being the best you can be. It all matters and it shows. You can't just say oh they're sandbagging ...

Martin and anyone close to him know his actual struggles thus far, and for you to call him out when you really don't know anything is just idiotic.

So then what are the factors?

Sandbagging or working his ass off to get to where he is today? This. Coldenhoff for example is riding like i think his 5th year in the mx2 grand prix. He is 22 now. So now he does not deserve it to win races? Or a championship? Damn I'm not sure how the GP's work as far as how long you stay in mx2...

Sandbagging or working his ass off to get to where he is today? Sandbagging. You get 3 years maybe 4 in the 250 class before you move up to the premiere class. At this point in his career he should be working his ass of to contend with all the big boys. Don't forget, he turned pro the same year as ...

Haha holy shit I got all your panties in a bunch with that comment on Davalos not deserving it. Obviously he's one of the best in the world and all these guys put in a lot of work to get to where they are. I just don't really like the guy as a rider and I think it's unfair to other riders for him to...

Speaking of points, how is Vegas gonna work? Are there gonna be a separate East/West mains plus the shootout like last year? Or just a non-points paying shootout?
