I dont know something just seems very fishy about the whole thing. Nobody was aloud to interview rv in seattle. Nobody has said what is actually wrong with his knee? Just that hes getting surgery on his hurt knee... Then i read somewhere that hes fine. Maybe hes taking a page out of peyton hillis book. Maybe Rv is holding out for money. Hes probably tellin kawasaki why the heck would I work hard and ruin my whole summer, when I could just go win the monster cup an make more than you pay me for the whole outdoor season... ( i don't know how much he makes, that's a guess). He probably told them well "its up to you, if you want another outdoor championship your gonna hafta do something about my pay or I'm sitting it out with a Hirt knee"
Or maybe he's tryin to get Stewart to sign up then show up and make him look silly.
Anyways I still don't believe he's injured. So far it's got him out of the rest of sx. Now he just needs more money and I think it's still possible he shows up at the nationals....
