End of 2003 and 2004 Reed 2005 RC 2013 RV 1996 MC tie
Yea, Stanton, Kiedrowski, Henry, Lusk, Emig, Lamson , Pichon, Huffman, Windam, Vulliemen and RC for two years was such mediocrity.
Outside of Reed and Stewy, RC had nobody. Hell, Nic Wey was a top 5 rider when RC dominated.
Pit Row
Still, I've always thought James was the fastest most natural SX rider I've ever seen, but MC is the King for good reason.
Wey, Ferry and Tedesco were top 5 guys when RC was winning, how many wins do they have?
My point is that McGraths comp was every bit as stacked as RCs, but when you're so much faster they don't seem to be.
He didn't just beat MC in 2001 he made it so he never won a race again. In 2000 MC had his second best season in SX and wasn't racing MX like everyone else so he was pretty fresh. 2001 RC came In and changed the game.
Pre back injury DV was no joke indoors either circa 2000 and 02.
Plus Windham only won 1 race after 2001 with RC in the field and that was after RC crashed out of the lead. Think of that Windham won 1 SX race from 01 through 07 with RC racing and never beat him straight up. Ezra Lusk who won 9 races in 98 & 99 and crashed out of more wins only beat RC twice as well from 2001 on A1 01 and Phenoix in 03 and that's it.
RC retired the winnengest SX rider of all time and made it so the second and forth winningest riders never beat him for a title.
RC had more competition than MC for sure. He had MC in 01, gave his competition a race in 02 and started out injuried and from 03 on had Reed and from 05 on has Stewart. Plus Windham, DV, Lusk, Larocco, Ferry, Tedesco, Pastrana, etc at different times of their careers.
And I agree, RC had to race the two fastest guys of that time, but the guys racing McGrath were fast too, but McGrath was just that much faster.
He won them all, with everything and everywhere, in Europe, in the USA, with 125, with 250, with 500, Motocross or Supercross.
If it coincides with other possible GOATS, he would win again. Easy
But yes, a year, which then gets bored and needs new challenges.
RC and RV rival each other in racecraft and could somehow will themselves to first place.
MC is the King, and even well into this 30s was impressive in Supercross during the mid 2000s.
With all of this said if we could somehow make this race happen I would be crazy to not put my money on the man who can win by 20 seconds or yard sale it trying to...James Stewart 2007 (when he actually led RC in SX points through his farewell tour) who has the second most SX wins ever.
