It's hard to believe it's been 7 years. I'm just really happy that I was able to put together the memorial get together at his home track that so many of his friends were able to attend. In today's world of social media I know his legacy will go on for many, many years. His pictures are being shown every day around the entire world. Rest in Peace my friend, rest in peace.

I don't like to write long, drawn-out responses on here but I feel like I owe it on this one. This guy is without a doubt, one of the best influences this sport has ever had. Whether you liked him or not, Stewie was a competitor that brought eyes to this sport and is probably the most exciting rider i've ever seen in my life. Watching this interview is just a struggle, you can hear the pain in his voice from about 1:35-3:00 when he talks about the fact of the matter that he knew his career was cut short...

Man, Paul Malin is an incredible announcer! and to do it all by himself, that's talent.

Antonio Cairolli, ever heard of him?

Massive Everts fan, BUT what AC achieved last year and the way he stepped up his game put him above Everts to me. take Herlings out of the picture and the way he was riding at his age was incredible.

AC222 is like a fine wine.. Love watching that dude twist the grip off. He rides like a 20yo kid.. I hope he crushes it this season.

A lot of guys certainly left during Everts' reign, but don't forget that in the last 15 years there's been several MX2 World Champions who left for America before really moving up to MXGP, namely Ben Townley, Christophe Pourcel, Tyla Rattray, Marvin Musquin and Ken Roczen. Also, while Everts had a year where he could get two and even three wins in a single day, he was mostly limited to12 GPs in most of his other seasons, so Cairoli has had as many chances in his 15 years and counting as Stefan had in is 17 seasons. All that said...

The GP's were crap during Everts reign...most all of Everts serious competition (Tortelli, Albertine, Vuilliman, Reed, Pichon, etc. etc. etc. etc.) spent some/most of their careers racing in america (where they subsequently got smoked by RC-like everyone else). Leave all of that competition in the GP's and Everts has several less titles and many many many less wins. Because of that I think Tony is a far superior rider to Everts, right now (and I really like Everts, and his style, he's a bad dude on a dirt bike, so I don't mean any disrespect to him), but only a...

Well , that's the thing though. Tony never had an option to race 3 different classes in one day , and win all three classes on that day. If anything , " Longevity " from Tony has been incredible. Btw.....if you haven't seen the TC movie , you should. That guy's story is pretty amazing , considering where he came from and how he took the world by the horns. Fuggin' guy is a legend beyond legends.

I would think so too , but that's not taking anything away from Stefan , as he was an incredible champion. Two of the very best , and greatest champions of all time. Big fan of both those guys , and always will be!

He’s all ready got his number.

I feel 2018 has been a blessed year for JH: his career path is very close to James Stewart: a huge talent but lacking enough self control to be able to challenge like Jeremy McGrath, RC, Everts or Cairoli. If in 16 years of racing Tony had just two injuries and everybody trying to beat him has ended up rather frequently in surgeries it cannot be luck: it's being so superior that you can keep "safely" a rhythm that is too much for everyone else.

"they called me wide open and out of control because my feet came off the pegs, but as long as I had my hands on the bars I was actually in control" But you are right......history books care and today's fan's.....not so much.
