Fastest until Lucas for sure.

Best is a little disrespecting to Cairoli and Everts, those dudes hauled for over a decade straight and won title after title against some unreal competition.

Cairolis 2010-2014 run on a 350 is probably the most dominant run in MXGP so far. Cairoli also still holds more premier class wins.

Not while RVwas still racing. Both TG and JH are still racing. So I don't get your comparison

How many titles do you think he really should have, it's been so long it's hard to remember.

In an Dutch TV interview he said he lost 4 championships due to an injury while having a big points lead.

He broke his neck too. Maybe 2020?  That was another potential title gone.

Agree, but HRC does not always have the riders best interest in mind….just thinking about 84”s legacy…with seemingly little competition for him in the GP”s and the talent just keeps leaving for US National series….I”m sure if he wanted, he could put together a deal to make it happen….

Let's not compare 40 years ago to today's teams, HRC have turned themselves around in the past 4-5 years perhaps a bit longer

JH already did quite a 'Flex', at Ironman, way back in 2017......

Congratulations to Jeffrey Herlings. Truly one of the best, if not the best, to come from Europe. Seeing Jeffrey ride sand is something special.

What does Dungey making RV quit ( or not) have to do with this?

Both Tim and Jeffrey are still racing. Neither is retired. One of them has more championships than the other. Jeffrey has been in the class every single year that Tim has won a championship. He couldn't keep the pace without getting hurt. That is a fact.
