He won every moto the remainder of the season in 2003 when he returned from the 5th round on.
He won 18 of 24 motos in 2002.

Recognizing that Stewart's accomplishment in the class exceeds RV's is no discredit to RV.
I would guess he's a blue blood motocross fan, who most likely never raced competitively or successfully competed in the sport, himself. He's welcome to prove that statement, incorrect.

I'm planning on going to the MXdN in St. Jean this year, so I'd love to see Stewart representing the USA this time, since I didn't get to see him in Italy in '09.
Sorry, didn't really mean to turn this into a "who is Team USA going to be this year" thread.
I never meant to sound like RV (or anyone) will ever compare to RC outdoors because they won't. I was saying he will win and win by large margins just like RC did if JS isn't present to give him some competition.
If you recognize or remember that RD, Daselle, Everts, Roncada, RC and Larry Ward have all given JS fits at some point outdoors why couldn't/wouldnt RV?
Shoot RD almost had a perfect season in his rookie year outdoors doesn't mean he's untouchable.
For everyone who says "Villopoto will destroy everyone outdoors" over and over, what is his outdoor record on a 450 anyway? My memory isn't a steel trap, but it seems like he's participated in very few 450 outdoor races. Wasn't it just one race (which he did win)? Though I consider Ryan an excellent rider who very well could destroy them, people act like the series has already been run and Ryan is a proven 450 outdoor rider.
250 greatness doesn't equal 450 greatness, although it certainly helps in making a sturdy prediction.
