Powered by the over one million data points I've added to my database in recent weeks, I can provide lap by lap positional data back to 2003.
My full article is at my site smxmuse.com but here are a few highlights from it.
Carmichael's numbers jump straight off the page. From 2003 to his retirement in 2007, he spent over 90% of his main event laps inside the top three. The Ryans are right alongside each other in yet another Supercross stat. Sexton's numbers surprised me a little bit. For all the talk of his inconsistencies, over half of his laps in the 450 class have been spent in a podium position. Jett is the only active rider that has a better mark.
Percentage of Main Event Laps in the Top 3:
| Ricky Carmichael | 90.09% |
| Ryan Villopoto | 67.71% |
| Ryan Dungey | 66.74% |
| Jett Lawrence | 65.35% |
| James Stewart | 64.47% |
| Chase Sexton | 54.37% |
| Ken Roczen | 51.88% |
| Eli Tomac | 49.43% |
| Cooper Webb | 48.33% |
| Chad Reed | 45.27% |
Percentage of Main Event Laps in First:
| James Stewart | 41.31% |
| Ryan Villopoto | 41.02% |
| Ricky Carmichael | 40.46% |

| Ryan Dungey | 25.10% |
