MXA only has the top 20 listed, and I believe they made a mistake

They have Ryan Sipes with 88 SX points and he did not race the 450 class in Supercross

Crazy...How many people would have bet that Stewart, Reed, and Villopoto would be way outside of the top ten this year.

Awesome as usual thanks Dwayne.

To be honest I’ve been trying to muster up the energy all day to post my list, but it’s been a looooong weekend and after an O-dark thirty flight home this morning, I’m just too exhausted to even think!! LOL

Anyhow, from what I can see yours looks pretty accurate, and maybe on tomorrow or Tuesday I can post mine so we can check each other’s math again.

That being said I’ll just throw out some fun observations about this year’s list:

- As you can all see by Dwayne’s list, there are now a whopping 5 new riders to the permanent # club (top 10 overall combined 450 SX, 450 MX and 250 MX). Canard, Rattray, Chisholm, Brayton and Wilson all get to choose a permanent # now. Unfortunately for Hahn, Weimer, Barcia, Searle, Tickle and Wharton, their #’s were NOT permanent (I know, it’s confusing!), so look for some new faces on those valuable low digits next year. Plus Preston, and Ferry will have to give up theirs as well, so the #’s 10, 11, 12, 15, 17, 19, 20, 21 and even JB’s 23 are all up for grabs (Ramey’s #25 as well).

- Canard initially told me that he would take #41 in honor of his dad which is way cool, but when I asked him yesterday what he would do since he can now take a single digit he said the #6 looked pretty good so now he’s not too sure. Tough call and I’m sure dad is proud either way :-) ).

- Rattray, Chisholm, Brayton and Wilson all get to choose (in that order) a permanent #. Before yesterday Brayton actually had 1st pick but after a rough day, he got passed by both Rattray and Chisholm, and even almost got passed by Wilson! All 3 of those guys had great rides yesterday, so bad timing for JB. He did tell me that he thinks he’d like to ditch the #23 (which is not permanent) if a good lower # was available, but depending on what those guys ahead of him pick, he’s still looking at 12 or 15 which is pretty cool.

- If you look at the top 3 overall in this combined points list, you have your USA MXDN team!! Pretty cool if you ask me!

- Unfortunately the guys who stand to loose the most next year are T. Hahn and Weimer. As usual it will really depend on who picks what ahead of them, but roughly speaking I have Hahn (who is “the best of the rest” if you will, in other words, the highest “non permanent” guy for the second year in a row - which is how he jumped up to #10) winding up around #15 or #17. Unless someone like JB decides to keep his #23 (ala Josh Grant last year with #33), then he can jump ahead again. Weimer looks like he’ll wind up at around 34 or 35 (tentatively, same deal applies here except he’s even further down the list so those guys can fluctuate up or down by as many as 2-3 #’s, once again depending on what the permanent guys pick). It will look weird when he’s killing it at the front of the pack on a factory 450 in SX next year ;-)

- It’s interesting to me that because of all the injuries/SX or MX only deals/etc. (Stewart, Reed, Hill, Alessi, etc.) that Wilson snuck in there with only his outdoor points (4th in the 250’s). It’s actually rare that a small bike rider who doesn’t do any opposite coast big bike rounds in SX, and doesn’t finish 1st or 2nd in the MX series, gets in the top 10 overall. We’ve seen riders like Sellards do it by finishing 3rd overall in 125 MX only, but he earned a boat load of points. Anyhow, I’m not too sure a 125/250f rider has ever earned enough points from 4th position to get one, I could be wrong though I am tired after all :-)).


One last thing: in talking to three of the “powers that be” this weekend, one of them told me “we’re not changing anything for next year” (which gets my vote), and the other two told me that they’d like to change it to where the riders who earn two digit #’s MUST run that two digit # (or single digit if they earn the right). They don’t like the trend of all these guys sticking with their amateur/lucky #’s (like Alessi – both Mike and Jeff - Lawrence, Pourcel, Hansen, Davalos, Morais, etc.). As much as I don’t want to see the numbering system change (again) they actually have a good point.

Oh, how I wish those were the numbers they would wear next year.

I know the marketing reasons behind it, but I hate the permanent number system.

Why doesn't that surprise me?!? LOL They absolutely butchered it last year (sorry Basher, hope it wasn’t you ;-) )

They claim to be the authority on everything MX but can’t seem to comprehend the rule, or even do simple math.

It is correct. He only raced Washougal-Unadilla-Southwick-Steel City but never scored a top 20 moto finish this summer. Better days ahead for him hopefully.

Thanks Paul for breaking it down for everyone. I look forward to checking out your list.
And I did not look into who had better finishes when riders were tied in points. So I am sure you will have a different order then mine.

Cunningham rode the 250F for the full east season. He then went to the 450.

Ok Dwayne, I finally updated my list lol (again, I was being a little lazy because I knew yours would be pretty accurate and I was tired after Pala).

Anyhow, as you know it’s REALLY easy to make mistakes when doing the list (ahem….cough…..MXA….cough….. Wink ). That being said, as far as I can see your list is completely spot on!! The only tiny mistake that I found was Coulon, you had him with 25 points when he actually only got 20. For what it’s worth, you helped me catch a small mistake of my own with Jeff Gibson Smile

I’m not going to waist my time doing all the tie breakers or typing the entire list on here based on what I think Canard, Rattray, Chisholm, Brayton and Wilson will pick for their permanent numbers (not to mention there is still the possibility that the rule with be changed all together), but just for fun, here’s how I think the top few will look (this is just a guess people, but as mentioned in a different post, depending on what # the new permanent guys pick, it could move the rest of the list up or down 1 or 2 spots so do the math from their, however this should be fairly accurate):
* Denotes permanent #

2 RV*
3 Brown*
4 RC* (for one more year I think)
5 Dungey*
6 (Canard still thinking about this or 41)*
7 Stewart*
8 GL*

And so on down MXerDW’s list until you get to Joshua Clark and Terren Odell and Greg Aranda at 97, 98 and 99 (again, I didn’t do the tie breakers, but they have 8 points each and this is where things get REALY complicated. If they pull out the FIM license guys (I.E. Desalle, DeDycker, etc.), as well as guys like Townley who might hang onto their 3 digit # (remember, Pourcel, Alessi and Lawrence are permanent 3 digit, the rest are not so they usually leave them on the list - E.G. Jeff Alessi runs #801 but earned #53, so it just stays open – and I say this every year: it’s more work than you think trying to contact all these guys and more importantly get a straight answer out of them/their agent/their team manager/etc. on if they want their 2 digit or not, especially when the public is screaming “where’s the new numbers?!?” two weeks after the last race), then after all of that the people with 7 points might get lucky and move into the top 99.

Another observation, based on those numbers, is that the 450 class was fairly weak this year overall. 8 of the top 20 point scorers are 250 riders, although Canard ran a few 450 rounds.

Then you include Metcalfe who rode 250SX, and Townley and Alessi who rode outdoors only, and half of the top 20 only scored points in one out of the three point scoring series.

Finally, WIndham finished 4th and only rode half the MX season.

Say what you want, this wasn't a strong year competition wise for the 450 class.

Very true, it was a strange year full of injuries. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, it's pretty rare for a guy to grab a permanent # by finishing just top 3 in the lites class outdoors (E.G. Sellards), but it's even more rare (possibly never even been done but I'm not positive) to do it by getting 4th like Wilson. I'm almost sure it's never been done, but I've seen guys like Metcalfe and Weimer come really close to doing it.
