However, for 2015 there are two pieces of information that PROVE who was faster.
Both are owned by Ryan Dungey.
This is the same strange discussion that revolved around JS7 at times and I'm unable to understand the logic.
Fast in motocross seems, to some, to mean a lap or a race, but they don't award number one plates and championships for that. So as a motocrosser it seems strange, to me, that some think being fast at a race or a lap or several races is some indication of something, that's in some way more important.
The gates drop, the checkered flags fall, in the end the guy with the number one plate is the fastest.
Am I missing something?

I am sure the bike and his injuries were a challenge as well but think there is something up with him and his dad - JMO.
Pit Row
Dungey wins because his program is tight and he puts in the work. I'm so tired of all the "ifs". If RV had not broke his leg, If Reed had not tried playing superman at Millville, if Stewart and Tomac had not crashed out, if Roczen had not cased the triple...and on and on and on.
Ever think maybe those guys are riding over their heads to try and beat the guy who goes fast and doesn't crash out. Dungey is a better rider, period.
* He's rarely beat RV straight up in only but a handful of motos, and never beat him in a Championship when RV rode a series (But that applies to everyone else as well)
* Tomac showed he was flat out faster by a huge margin in the 1st 5 motos in 2015. No contest, Tomac is faster outdoors
* Bubba historically speaking has always been faster than Dungey in qualifying and races, as long as he keeps it on 2 wheels
* Roczen was a click faster than Dungey last year when on identical bikes and both healthy.
If I we're choosing the fastest jockey (lap to lap or moto to moto) it certainly would not be RD5. I certainly don't consider the winner of a Championship to be the 'fastest rider' on the planet, just maybe the 'best lucky and skillful rider' of that series.
I thought Roczen said he could win on a stock Suzuki? Now all year he says the bike is the reason he is not winning. Yet he got rid of the trainer that helped him win the championship last year because he wanted to have fun. Well he didn't win either title, but he's having fun and training less.
I'm not sure how anyone could discredit Dungey, you would have to be blind and stupid. The only thing that bothers me about him and others in the sport is when they say "MotoRcross". Seriously guys, it's Motocross.
It's funny. Since Dungey turned pro, all people have been saying is that he needs to improve his first few lap's aggression, general riding aggression, and raw speed. He's done ALL of the above this year and still can't get the credit he deserves. It is what it is.
5 moto's of Tomac crushing it , while impressive isn't enough to draw a conclusion on the who's faster argument. Mostly because it's too small a sample, and dungey just showed him the fast way around the track indoors by a large margin. Looking forward to 2016 in that regard.
Bubba, well he is who he is. The guy has set the bar for one lap speed in his career, and he's paid the price for that too.
Roczen won the title last year absolutely, but it's pretty damn obvious to everyone that 2015 dungey actually got faster than last year. He's improved his speed, and his early race aggression.
Sometimes it's "smartest"
