Message: [QUOTE="JMD, post: 1233121, member: 24087"] Villopoto ran a fantastic race, no doubt. But I recall that Ricky gave Villo his top gate pick and took the far outside for himself; he got tangled at the start and saw the whole pack pass him by while he was on the ground. Then he battled the entire moto and passed almost everybody, working his way up to third. Then, seeing that his protege, Villo, had the race sewn up, he may have decided not to expend any more energy passing Reed and maybe even Villo; the U.S. was obviously in the catbird seat even with Ricky in third. So maybe Villo would have beaten him straight up and maybe he wouldn't. It doesn't much matter. RC is gone and the young Turks are taking over. I'm excited about motocross in the coming years.
