If Tomac beats him for both titles this season then it remains a tough debate...
They're superheros and kick some ass, but meh. They're boring as shit!
The people want Wolverine and Deadpool.
And I'd easily put Dungey in my top 10 greatest, but my top 10 would factor in more than just number of wins.
Guys who ride a bit closer to the edge occasionally crash catastrophically and lose a season. Reed, Tomac, and Rokzen have all gotten seriously injured in the past few seasons.
With the equipment and tracks as extreme as they are, I think the Dungey approach will be examined and discussed for a long time to come. He will definitely not be forgotten. I think his stature will only grow.
Hannah's titles came between 76-79. 4 years derailed by the water skiing accident. He kept wining races after and if not for injuries would have been a champ again in 83.
Johnson's titles came between 84-88. 5 years. He won some races after, but his wrist screwed him from being way further up the list.
Ward's titles came between 84-90. 7 years. He outlasted Johnson and out matched Stanton for those last 2 500cc national titles.
Stanton's titles came between 89-92. 4 years. 2 of his titles (89 SX,92 SX) while won fair and square were gift wrapped to him after Johnson broke his wrist and Bradshaw threw away a massive points lead.
#1 and #2 are firmly entrenched as RC and MC. MCs 95 and 96 motocross seasons proved he was the man outdoors during the mid 90s, plus he was leading the points in 98 when he pulled out with a broken wrist he suffered in SX. He got cocky and lost the 96 title by a couple of points after dominating the beginning of the season. All he had to do was roll around at Washougal or not try an impossible jump at Millville.
Take out Millville he wins that title. Stamp it.
Its like football. It doesnt matter how a QB does in the regular season. All that matters is the superbowl, which is why Brady can be considered the best QB. He has 5 superbowls over the course of over 16? years and he only missed the playoffs twice.
I would organize it just a bit different when combining mx and sx.
he is definitly one of the greatest, though he is lucky RV was injured as often as he was. had RV been healthier he wouldve been closer to RC's title count
I honestly don't even know where to start to counter your points, so I won't............just, wow
I like Ryan Dungey but the guy is just as much of a snore as you apparently are.
I give him credit where it is due. He has beat all of the greats of his time: Villo, Reed, Roczen, Tomac
But he isn't flashy. Last year and a few times this year he did have some flare of absolute speed. He was able to crank up the speed when pressured.
Pit Row
His ability to maintain high speeds with relatively few mistakes (plus his humble attitude) are reasons why I became a fan of his. If he wins this Supercross series, while I would still rank him behind RV, he would have even more weight behind his name.
People always talk about Dungey's consistency. At the same point in their careers, Reedy's was better.
Fanboy? If you think any of those three crashes was from over-riding, I don't know what to tell you. Front wheel hit a little kicker and washed on the face at millville...
Kenny moved over to avoid a lapper in San Diego, they're in whoops, no-where to go...
And was riding pretty easily behind RV in Dallas, got a little spin on the inside of the rut and lost a fraction of drive.
None of the three was he riding over his head, when does he ever look like he's riding over his head... just shit luck.
