This is a Racer X slideshow from 2006 when James with team mates Ryan Villopoto and Ivan Tedesco also brought home the Chamberlain for the USA:

Everts did not stand on the top of the podium that day.
Everts did not hold the Chamberlain Trophy that day.
No official results of that race show Everts as the winner that day.
ALL of those things were AND ARE FOREVER James, Ryan and Ivan's.
now, as far as, this fastest rider stuff I have these things to say:
Greg Albertyn
Seb Tortelli
David Vuillemin
Micheal Pichon
Chad Reed
Tortelli= injurys beat by RC
DV12= Beat by RC and MC
Pichon= beat by lots in usa, not so much in europe
Reed= beat by RC,Bubba,Dungey,RV, ETC...
Totelli - beat Everts 1998 - 250cc world champs, came to U.S. couldn't win.
DV, Pichon and Reed, left the world champs very early in career to race U.S. only Reed was able to win U.S. championships (premier class).
point is that Everts stayed in europe as his competition left. If these riders had stayed in europe there is no one who'd argue that his win and championship count would be nothing near what it is.
That's just talking non-U.S. riders. Had the emphasis and glory not turned to the U.S. championships in the 80's, he would have had to deal with McGrath, Emig, Henry, RC and many more throughout his career. But he didn't, he stayed where the competition wasn't.
I know this horse has been beaten badly, but thought I'd give it another good whack.
I am a fan and was a fan of his fathers (Harry Everts) when in 1975 he was world champ on a Puch!
Certainly great legends of our sport!!!
