Probably not . But the the last race at Steel City was a winner take all scenario an McGrath was healthy as he had won Binghamton. Emig straight up took it so that makes it a little better though I have always been a fan of Emig so my opinion may be a bit biased .
People always bring up 92 and 96 with Emig, but in 93 and 98 Emig had some bad luck himself. He was the fastest but did not win those titles.
Didn't he lose an outdoor title to Canard because of a dnf or something too?
seized engine, yep.

sorry dude, the only year dungey backed into his title was in 17'.
in 15-16, he had the most wins, and podiums, was clearly the best guy.
Canard actually came on strong and Pourcel crashed and hurt himself at the last race
Shifter fell off in one moto and the carb in another if I remember correctly, and his dad was the mechanic! Budds Creek I think.
No it wasn't. He started top 5 in the main at Arlington and easily had the others covered, then his front brake locked up which caused him to crash. Pure mechanical that cost him likely 19 points, and he lost the title in the end by 5 (although if he wasn't trying to bunch up Dungey at Vegas he easily could have run in a 1st place for an extra 3 points).
RC4 06 SX title...
I don't understand why circumstances of Osbourne coming through the pack and punting Joey is ok but it's not ok when it happens in any other main event, if that was Deegan people will call for his head which has already happened in Deegans career with a lot less of a crime.
I don't mean Osbourne ended Joeys career through injury but it sure as hell got to his head mentality and hasn't been the same since, yes it's on him to get over the mental battles however Osbournes pass sparked it.
Why do the goalposts change when it comes to taking someone out at certain points in the season, not trying to be a asshole I just want more understanding, I've seen a lot less get docked in this sport.
I'm pretty sure Davalos was going into the final round as the points leader and had a bike malfunction mid-week which resulted in a broken leg which handed Bogle the title.
Reed was getting smoked by Alessi and they both got smoked by RV first round. I never say any championship winner isn't deserving. But let's not pretend he had anything for either of them. 2011 Reed was a total different animal. Like a completely different guy than the 2009 version
😲 you referring to fuelgate? RC threatened to take his ball and go home 😂 or RC winning the AMA title and JS the World title?
yepp fuel gate... JS and CR both got docked points for the same thing.. RC4 got caught and he had a sook..
side note.. im a huge RC4 fan. but that was a stitch up
Got smoked? Didn’t have anything for either of them? 😂
I wonder why they run more than two rounds if that’s all that’s needed to decide who’s going be the best and win……🤔
I hadn’t thought about 06 SX in this scenario, but while RC will always be the GOAT to me, fuel gate was farcical.
That brings back memories. It was the corner right before the sand whoops and MC tried to use the single to jump onto the tabletop. He came up way short. I was standing right there. He wacked it so hard you could feel the ground go thud. Anyway I like telling that story and I don't think Emig would have won the title that year if MC didn't get hurt.
there is only one candidate for this. And that is Pierre Karsmakers in 19743 or 1974
unofficially he won the ama outdoor titles on points. But due to a rule change in 1973 only an can american citizen win the title.
Pit Row
i think about how the sport and history would be all changed if RC4 was actually docked the points. wonder how that all stacks up. Imagine if Rc4 was docked and didnt win that title. wonder how it would play for Stew and Reed if one was to win that title.
GL in 03, only won one moto I believe.
Ryno raced southwick with a broken leg and missed Budds.
As far as this year goes, I’d say your flat out wrong, chase had many victory’s and had fastest lap times often as well, would he of won had Eli not gotten hurt doubtful, would he of win still had he pulled off after one of his crashes and gave up maybe not, fact is he didn’t get hurt won many times and earned it. There has never been a wrong champion ever, it’s always been earned.
RC DNF’d a round due to a broken shock spring and still won the title.
And crashed into a boat!
Dungey also got some help from team mates that year. To me Tomac was the better rider that year, just like Dungey was in 11. I also seem to remember a penalty in 17 sx for someone, anyone remember who?
Bruh, are you a crack smoker? Osbourne’s championship win exemplifies everything there is to love about this sport.
Man, I watched that season through the exact opposite lens.
He was fast as hell, but the entire season Forkner was having really huge dramatic crashes, especially in qualifying, and I was genuinely a bit amazed that he had dodged a serious injury going into the last few rounds.
The circumstances shouldn’t change the goal posts but they did.
Can't remember the year? Maybe 2012? Dungeys first outdoor title on the KTM? RV out injured? JS wins the first 4 motos. Then crashes and gets injured while in the lead when a photographer(?) runs across the track in front of him. Dung goes on to win every round. Then Redbull releases a YouTube series with Dungey saying it all clicked around that time and thats why he's started winning. But hey, you got be in it to win it
Maybe you mean Kiedrowski knocking down JMB so Stanton could win the championship?
Or Stanton going to Japan and giving Mike Healy a T-bone to make Trampas Parker (Honda...) win The championship, history is full.
But not this time! Please understand that! This time Chase won and earned the championship!
" exemplifies everything there is to love about this sport."
Bullshit, Deegan rubbing his team mate triggered the shit out of a lot of people.
Ferrandis there was an outrage when he made that mistake on Craig.
Barcia/Frieze how many times?
That's my point why does a situation or points different or championship dictate or change definition on what's deemed a take out, a take out on the last race of the year last corner for the championship is no different to taking someone out mid season but both are treated differently.
