Since we're in 2015, and we've done half of this 2010/2020 decade, I decided to do some stats. I add every points each rider have gain (SX/MX) since 2010 from now, and in 2020, the one who'll have scored the most points could be named the best rider of the decade.
But at the half of this decade, we've got one rider that have a massive advantage with that point system: Ryan Dungey scored 5190 points since 2010. Believe me, that's huge...
I think the second rider who've scored the most points will surprise you. His name is Justin Barcia with 3230 points! But it could well change next year because Eli Tomac is only 94 points back of Barcia and could take 2nd place in 2016.
Another big (and I said BIG) surprise is that the 4th rider who've scored the most points since 2010 is... Blake Baggett!
He scored a total of 2972 that edge out Ken Roczen's 2913 points!
Ryan Villopoto (who's been dominant at times) is in 6th position with 2755 points. I would have imagine that he would be higher than that, but he has only race in 8 out of 12 championships since 2010.
After Villopoto, the top 10 is completed by Andrew Short (2701), Trey Canard (2478), Marvin Musquin (!) (2471) and Broc Tickle (!!) (2394).
As for the legends, Chad Reed is 11th with 2180 points and James Stewart is only in 17th position with 1650. James better watch out too, because he is only separated by 4 points from 18th position Jeremy Martin's 1646 points.
I did the same thing for the GP guys and no surprise there with Antonio Cairoli being 1st with 3837 points ahead of Jeffrey Herlings with 3494 points. Clement Desalle has been consistent and this stat prove it again: he's third with 3078 points, followed by Paulin (2708 points). Jeremy Van Horebeek complete the podium with 2466 points. 6th position is quite surprising though, because Frenchman Jordi Tixier (2263pts) stand ahead of Max Nagl (2162), Tommy Searle (2041) and Kevin Strijbos (2013). As for MXGP current points leader Romain Febvre, he only stand in 14th position with 1659 points.

If we're talking in 2020 and someone ask me "In the last 20 years, who was the best",
I'd say Villo. (Of course, someone can be more dominate and solidifying than he was by then.)
And if I add the points Ken Roczen gain in the GP's and in the USA since 2010, he would stand in second position with 4138 points.
interesting stats though. bb4 is really a surprise.
The Shop
In the USA, the guy that have the biggest amount of win since 2004 is Ryan Villopoto with 134 wins and the second rider is James Stewart 123 wins. It could change next year though because they're closely followed by Ryan Dungey and his 111 wins. They're above the rest of the field because Chad Reed is 4th with 48 wins but he'll probably lose this place next year because Eli Tomac got 46 wins. And that's 16 more than 6th place Ken Roczen. Pourcel is in 7th with 28 wins ahead of Trey Canard (26 wins) and Justin Barcia (25 wins). Then Marvin Musquin (24), Blake Baggett (22) and Jeremy Martin (21)
As for podiums, again a big domination from Ryan Dungey who got 268 podiums. Villopoto come second with 199, that gives you a 69 podiums difference, that's huge...
Chad Reed is third with 188 ahead of James Stewart's 185...
Then there's Roczen with 111 and Eli with 103. Ken already passed the 100 mark at 21 years old, that is remarkable.
As for the GP guys, Cairoli has the record of wins with 134 (same as Villopoto) ahead of Herlings with 75... You want a big surprise ? Ken Roczen is third with 31 wins ahead of Clement Desalle with 28 and... Marvin Musquin with 27. Then comes Nagl (26), Rattray and Paulin (22 each).
As for prodiums, no big surprise with the front 3 Cairoli (223), Herlings (111) and Desalle (100). Rattray and Philipearts are in the top five with 74 and 70. That put them ahead of Germany's Max Nagl (64) and Ken Roczen (60).
Oh and yeah, Cairoli seems looks even more unbeatable than Dungey here, but AC will probably stop this unbelievable performance sooner than Ryan...
Was it's the bikes fault he got injured? I never saw the defective recall on the KX 450...
it will be hard for anyone to get to rv's, js7's and dungey's amount of wins with the depth of field we have nowadays.
The OP has suggested a decade long championship and one rider clearly stands above the rest.
67% of RV2's and Herlings' podiums were 1st places. Sick.
Pit Row
*2 disclaimers: 1) Yes, I'm an Andrew Short fan; 2) No, this isn't really my first post. I couldn't remember my old info...frequent visitor, infrequent poster.
Point of my rant, his best accomplishment in his career has to be his 4 straight SX titles, but what I am going to remember of RV, is his balls on the cross bar outdoor style. He was just so ferocious on an MX track, never got stuck behind anyone.
racer? this one's tough... I'd say Villopoto, but it's very very hard to not say Dungey. the euro's are all over the fuckin' place so can't say any of them, maybe Cairoli if you were to say a euro.
