Without RC, James would have won the 06/07 seasons uncontested... 08 Reedy was somewhat better, 09 probably goes the same... After that James' head and the blue bike colluded for an awful lot of dirt naps...
Not sure it makes a difference to RC, he won regardless and there is really only one series that he maybe wasn't the best guy at the end of it, 03... Reed lost his mechanical advantage and RC gained one next time they met and held it till he quit. Chad was easily the slowest of the three to adapt to four strokes so I don't think he'd have beat RC without James there.
No four strokes? Maybe different.
Might be right about 06/07 speed, but RV in 13 was fucking ridiculous... The Dungey club can piss and moan about lost titles in 11 (Reed was better haha) but RV was no doubt building and by 13 he was so good it was clinical. He'd have at least given RC/JS all they could handle. I still go back and watch a few races that from that year and it was a terrible year for Reed!
