Proof: Ryan Villopoto

Thursday, August 18, 2011 | 1:40 PM

Author: Eric Johnson/Monster Energy

Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Ryan Villopoto has won quite a few motos this summer, and he even took the overall at High Point--round three of the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship. But the one thing he has been unable to do until Unadilla, even though he was the points leader coming into the race, was to sweep both motos. At Unadilla, aboard the new 2012 Kawasaki KX450F, he pulled it off, winning both motos going away.

Racer X: Ryan, how much better do you feel after finally pulling off the 1-1 moto sweep today?
Ryan Villopoto: It definitely feels good. It feels a lot better to get both the motos sealed up. The decision we made to go to the 2012 made a big difference. I’ve showed that I can win on our old bike but it’s just a lot harder. Our new bike is a lot better.

Tell us the story about how it came about that you are racing the 2012 bike now...
They changed the frame, but left everything else the same, and I rode it just a short one lap, one slow lap, and I could tell right off the bat that it was going to be good.

Did you start getting excited?
Not too much because you never know until you actually go racing. You can test and test and test, but something is always going to pop up when you go racing.

You looked like you were charging the corners way harder today than you were before.
Yeah. I felt like I could charge and just hit my lines the way I wanted to hit them and not have to worry about getting beat up.

People are going to call BS on the bike making that big of a difference, so what can you say to shut them up?
The guys in Europe were already racing it, and when it came available for us to ride it, we flew to California with, like, a day’s notice and went and rode it. I’ve been riding it probably for two weeks now. That’s it. That’s all the time that’s on the 2012. The suspension is the same. We worked on the suspension a little bit more, but it’s mainly the frame that’s the big change. It’s a lot better. Even Jeff [Emig] said the same thing.

You’re now on the Motocross of Nations team, and you haven’t been on that team since you were racing 250Fs. How do you feel about it?
It will be good. It’s always a lot of fun to go over there. I’m looking forward to it. We’ll just see how this plays out; who’s racing what [between Ryan Dungey and Villopoto, who will be racing MX1 and who will be racing MX3].

Well, you know you’re going to have a target on your back, though.
We always have a target; the Americans always do. I’ve already raced it three times. I’m ready for it.

Yeah, you did all right before. Have they given you any idea who will ride MX1 and MX3, or what will be the determining factor?
No. They don’t know how they’re going to decide yet. I thought it’s always been just points leaders.

Do you care?
I do because in years past it’s always been the points leader coming in and normally the points leader is the guy that’s better than most. This year we are closer. It’s a close race for sure. But it’s always been, from what I can remember, I don’t know if there’s an actual rule about it, but it’s always been the so-called points leader at the time of the announcement, I’m pretty sure.

Would you be okay with deciding classes after we know who the champ is?
That’s another talk about if they just make the decision now or make it off of that. I don’t know what they’re going to do.

Who the hell cares which one of the Ryan´s does the MX1 class and who does the MX3 class? The USA will win the MXON anyhow. Not because the US riders are the best, but because the contest is loaded in their favor. It´s the USA against a Europe divided into what amounts to states. We call them countries, you call them states. Same difference. But hey, don´t let me spoil your fun. Don´t let me interfere with your mental masturbation. If it gives you a feeling of power and superiority, like your brave US warriors do when they get to take out Iraqi civilians, then who am I to deny you your fun.

Great interview EJ. Very telling regarding the '11 chassis. Funny how everybody ripped Reed last year when he said he wasn't comfortable on the bike at all. Looks like the '12 is the ticket. I heard many Kawi dealers are alrerady sold out or close. Doesn't bode well for those dealers with '10's and '11's still on the floor.

Regarding MXDN, RV absolutely deserves the 1 plate though they should all be focusing on the team first. He has proved over and over (year-in-year out) he is the guy. Dungey was the guy when RV and CR were out hurt last year. Yes he won last season, but this year (prior to CR's crash) he has been consistently the third best guy. #3 fits.

@dc99. LOL. Very good retort.

Regarding RV2, he looked ridiculously smooth on that new 2012 450. Either that is a way better bike than the 2011 or they have the suspension totally dialed in right now.

I hope KTM steps up their game for RD's 2012 bike to keep the races interesting or things will be boring watching RV say bye-bye to the crowd.

I think the champ at the end of the year should run MX1. I also think RV2 is a little b*tch. "Its always been the points leader." If Reed came back to win the championship, RV2 got 2nd, and RD 3rd, I would rather RD runs MX1, he won the MXdN the last two years as captain. Why does RV deserve it? Because of a 7 point lead? He's a b*tch

They (FIM, promoters, Youthstream & DARMA before them, track owners and others) have been doing EVERYTHING they can to eliminate any advantages whatsoever for the Americans for years and yet, still we win.


With your (crackpot) logic, we should send a team from one of our states to compete..............O.K. we pick Florida, you still lose!

Oh, and good luck trying to get any of the traditionally strong MXdN countries (Belgium, G.B., France, Italy, etc) to throw in with you for your idea of "Team Europe". I'm quite sure they'd rather take their chances and achieve individual bragging rights and solidify their national identity rather than muddle up the works with your "Anti-America at all costs" policy.

I rewatched the races yesterday from Dilla...The speed RV was carrying into the turn when he passed Dungey in moto 1 was ridiculous....I dont think he even let off at all. I think thats what made Dungey cross rut, that streak of green zipping past him out of nowhere....same when RV passed Weimer in Moto 2....just pinned it through that rut..pretty impressive

The MXDesNation saga ---- I think RV is just stating what they have done in the past....not really being a b*tch about it..Decoster will pick his golden boy Dungey, ..when they made the announcement, RV only had one point over Dungey ....now he has 7...if they wait until after Southwick he may have even more points or less...who knows....if they can, they should just wait until the series is over....the champ wears the #1...if not....just follow the frickin rules or flip a coin..

Osbourne is good don't get me wrong but the amount of GP guys who say "someday I want to make it in the US". I am Canadian and I try to follow both series and stay objective but I feel the US series is WAY deeper in talent and run at a much faster pace. Oh well its almost time for the yearly reminder anyway. Mike you should be very very careful who you insult. American soliders put there life on the line for the states AND the entire free world.

Yes, the U.S., whose population is over 3 times higher than Germany's, won. But who got second place to Germany's third? BELGIUM, whose population is about 7 times smaller than that of Germany.

MX1,MX2 it doesnt matter. We are winning but I cant wait to see Cairolli chase down RV or RD for the win. You know Cairolli is gonna win one but USA would not loose the trophy no way. Go USA. Last yr Cairolli almost got Dungey and he was on a KTM350. Makes you wonder whats wrong with Shorty's bike

If you're upset that the US is much bigger than the countries in europe, we'll just send a team from Florida. Will that make it fair? We'd still dominate. Like we do every year...

the grandfather of moron mike was probably a french who worked for the germans during the ww2!

freedom speak is here on racerx and into the American websites, everyone know that!

coward strategy (ala mike) is to blame the others by this own defaults (french speciality) !

Germans, french, dutch, and belgiums never had a world champion in motogp! and they have some of the most popular racing circuits in the world, ridiculous!

sorry for my bad English

Look... I get why people are pissed at MIKE, but to then bash on EVERY European MX fan is just as bad as what MIKE did in the first place. SO your no F-ing better. Im from England and I dont even really follow the GP's. Yet every Monday I look for the AMA race to watch. I used Racer-X and transworld to get my mid-week fix of MX cos yeah, US MX websites are much better. But still, just because of 1 stupid idiot.... Please dont have a go at EVER European MX Fan. Just vent your anger at the one PRICK that slagged the US off.

And for the record... I believe that a US Team of Stewart, RC and Baggett could beat the Euros. And RC hasnt raced in ages and Bubba prob cant even remember what racing outdoors feels like. lol

I would put RD in MX1, he deserves it more than RV, people should look at what he did for the USA team in the last couple of years. About Mike, I hope he is not from Italy, keep politics out of sport, please, Switzerland is a good country because they followed the American model, Italy sucks because they didn't and, living by the border, it sucks even more.
But I myself think about how USA is big and how Italy is small, smaller than California, still we have some fast riders.

Should be fairly good racing , considering the Americans will be riding Hodakas to even things up a bit. Dungey gets the 3 1/2 gallon desert tank.

Mike should remember that if it weren't for the USA back in WWII he would be speaking German today in his homeland of England.
Can't wait to see the best of the world race against each other!

The champ from mx series should be mx 1. BOTTOM LINE! I wouldn't go climbing all the way up on the villopoto Freight train just yet. If he goes one one at the next race, then I would say maybe the bike really made a big difference, but it cracks me up how quick everyone makes it out like he is pulling a Ricky after one good weekend.

I'm thinkin' mikes problem is that sexual rejection causes his hostilities. Hail Hitler- wait they proved he was gay too.(yes mike too-just like you) Sorry to bash the gay community by includeing mike but it's where he belongs. His comments are gay and meaningless. But somehow I must respond. Don't really care what he says, his comments are so stupid that you couldn't loose to this guy when matching wits. Maybe he needs some help. skip that last maybe,you can't fix stupid. Come on mike post more stupidity so we can all blast your dumb a$$ some more, or better yet I'll use the most common post where you are concerned,JUST GO AWAY-WE DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK!!!!!!!

@jd805-- Mike said on here at first he was Irish, then changed it to say he was German. I think he is just all COWARD. He is Irish I'm prety sure, even though he has a picture of Ken Roczen on the ceiling over his bed.

Correct me if I am wrong but is RD the only one of the three to have a DNF. If that is the case wouldn't he be leading by about 18 points or so depending on where he finished in that particular race. As far as the MXdN goes Just win for our country.

Mike is probably just a kid making schit up to see what kinds of reactions she'll get. She, probably doesn't even believe the BS she's spewing.
In reference to the TEAM, since someone MUST ride with the #3 plate, I it believe it should be RV simply because he is, in my opinion, more aggressive and better at passing riders to get to the front than RD is. I'm not trying to slam RD or take anything away from RV, but if you look at which one could more easily overcome a bad start due to a crappier gate pick because of the rules of the event, I believe RV is that guy. Just my $.02 worth.

"keep politics out of sport, please," and then "Switzerland is a good country because they followed the American model, Italy sucks because they didn't and, living by the border, it sucks even more.

I think euros have a big problem with logic!

I think Villopoto, Dungey, and Baggett make a great team for this year's MXoN. Really looking forward to them racing as a team. Also interested in seeing how Roczen does at MXoN this year - he has been on a tear of late and has seemed to quit crashing so much.

Should be a good race! Cheers!

It's funny how most of the americans posting a comment here talk about Europe without knowing shit about it, you have the best Motocross series, but i don't think you should be so proud about everything your country does.

And i really like the USA, i am no hater.

Mike, as I recall, the USA whipped England's ass and declared their independence when we were a hell of a lot smaller.

Why is it that some of these other countries, like England, Australia and France, get all giddy and braggadocious when they finish ahead of an American?

And Mike...if you Euros could get along and become united like we did, you could go up against us as a continent. However, we would still whip your ass, just like we whipped Germany's ass, who was whipping your ass at the time, France's ass etc. Russia kicked Germany's ass from the other side. Now a Russian is kicking your motocrossers' asses, right?

Get it together and realize that even with monkey boy running things, we smoke you. Once he gets out of office, we'll be a hell of a lot stronger. Fear our might. We roost you.
