Who do you guys think is the least liked rider that is currently racing by fellow racers?

I would say Bubba has got to be at the top of the list. I may be wrong though. Of course Alessi.

I am wondering about some less obvious choices.

I think it's either Hansen or Friese. Is there anyone that likes those two?

Trey Canard or Metty and everyone likes Nick Wey too......IMO

These riders typically stay out of the drama....

Can't forget kdub, but I'm sure Friese may have a different opinion Laughing

Probably the most likely answer.

I think Wilson was pretty well-liked when he pulled over and gave the win to Hannah or whoever that was.

Also, same to KW for doing the same. Pretty nice of those guys.

Friese doesn't seem to be too popular.

If I understand correctly he wasn`t the most liked person on a track. He was mean in a competitive sense of the word.

Yes, he wasn't so popular with the other racers when he was kicking their asses week in and week out. Especially when he first started dominating in the earlier days. RC wasn't there to make friends but ended up becoming the most respected racer ever. One of my favorite RC sayings is the one where he said he Made his own luck.

Respected and liked....are two different things. Every racer out there respects RC and they should.....but I'm sure there were quite a few guys that hold a grudge against him.

Most well liked , I know KW has to be one of them. I have heard Tyla Rattray , Short , Wilson a few others are well liked as well. But Short has a few guys over the years where he has bumped and grinded and may of pissed off. Some people say Short is kind of a dirty rider.....and I love that guy.

I think guys like RV , Grant ( and now probably Dungey ) don't really care for Alessi. But I think Mike gets along great with Reed and Stewart.

It's the same way with us isn't it? I have friends I love , and they have friends I can't friggin' stand!

what are you guys basing your kdub theories on? he's pretty well liked by the fans. so are u assuming that the other riders like him as well based soley on the fact that he has a strong fan base?

ive heard ppl dont like nico izzi too much, some hate on josh grant as well

seems like the industry is full of clicks

to be honest, most of these guys are sheltered and have no social skills, especially those from the midwest or south. being home schooled in the middle of no where isn't exactly the best way to be "normal" or liked IMO

How does it come about that the face of a motocrosser is incised on the carapace of a message-boader?

Jorge Lorenzo is the least liked guy on two wheels, fans and peers alike.

If you watch some nationals from 97 and the interveiws after the races ya can see why RC could rub people up the wrong way, Windham hated him back then... Although thats probably because RC was doing what K.Dub was meant to be doing. RC matured though.

You'd think the least liked would be guys like Barcia and Stewart just out of a safty aspect. And Bagget just because he seems to cry about everything...

"We're all individuals! I'm not."

The rider I most find un appealing (no hate) would be Josh Grant, however, I would still ask for his autograph.

The most disliked rider on any given weekend is the guy who won the race.
