I remember dowd going off the track and falling right on top on Screw U. His bike almost went down the hill. I think it was the 1st moto but could be wrong.

How is the Meredith Suzuki team?

He should be running away with those warm up races especially with good weather and hard pack.

1998 RC was on a vehicle not designed for boating... and in a different class to Everts

99 RC was on a Green 125, and had a DNF... In a different class to everts...

http://www.dirtcool.com/raceinfo/99result/desnation.html

2000 Everts didn't show...

2003-2005--2007 RC shows everyone that he'll get it done, no matter what...

When they matched up in class, RC beat him down... In fact, RC beat everyone down...

Say what you want dude, RC woulda made it happen... And i'm not an American, my favourite rider is Reedy and i've cheered him on whilst booing RC... from Australia of course...

But the fact is, you never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever...

As an A.M they put alessi on a 450 as soon as they could because he's always been a better big bike rider. Now they want to put him on a smaller bike.?

hhmmm Cairoli won 2/3 moto's on that KTM... they must suck.

Everts said the bike was so good he almost came out of retirement, and he's basically jesus, so I'll believe him.

The two series are absolutely even. Different tracks, conditions and riders but the same level of competition! I don't see why this is such a difficult concept! One is not better, one is not inferior, just different. WIth that being said, Mccread is the most annoying member of the genitalia comparison arguements. And this is coming from a guy that thinks the Euro series has cooler tracks than the States.

KTM 250SX hits the scales at 210.3 pounds. For comparison purposes, the 2010 KTM 250SXF four-stroke weighs 216.1 pounds, while the 450SXF is 230.6 pounds.

On the dyno, the 2010 250SX made 49.05 horsepower
The KTM 250SX makes 12.7 horsepower and 11 foot-pounds of torque more
than the 2010 CRF250

Anytime we go out on a long ride (desert and elevation) there will always be one Katoom that breaks down or something breaks. And the people riding them are usually over 40 and maintain them like a professional.

I'd never consider one for motocross.

BET AGAINST RC

NEVER LOST A TITLE OUTDOORS. NEVER LOST A TITLE DEFENSE.

Again RC won 10 outdoor titles in his own country racing the GPs is totally different.

I'm not saying he wouldn't have beaten Everts for a GP title... or even that Everts would have beaten him I'm just saying he never tried so we will never know.

And I know Everts thought he could beat him for a GP title.

I am dealing with facts you are being presumtious....

RC raced outdoors outside the US only 5 times - England 98, Brazil 99, France 2000, Belgium 2003, and france 2005 individually he won 2 of those races and lost 3.

I think you need to calm down, and stop confusing presumtions with facts.

The Nations is not a barometer for a GP title. BT beat Everts in 05 in the MXDN and ran RCs pace that day but got 3rd in the GPs.

Everts was hurt in 2000 ( Tortelli beat RC that day), it was RC who didn't show in 2001, 2004, he was hurt in 2006.

RC was the greatest in the US
Everts was the greatest in the World GPs

You can't compare, their careers are too different but they are both equally great.
