Just have a look at this video ... Herlings was clearly on another level, winning a MX2 race by a 2 minutes lead !!! He lapped eveyone but the second who was Glenn Coldenhoff !!

The thing with Stewart is, he looked way faster on the day with his whips, scrubs and elbows up in attack mode, but laptimes don't lie.

Villopoto only had Dung. No dis respect!!, Dung was cosistent, he would not hang it out. Villo may have had way more mistakes if he had someone pressuring him with no cost to win!!!

If you use Reed as the Metric, that’s why I say they where 6 years ahead. At hangtown and high point 06 Reed was not even competition. Hangtown he’s gone the first moto and James runs him down after stalling and RC came from a first turn crash to nearly run him down, with goggles perhaps he still does and in the other 2 motos with the big two fully healthy he was not even close. Yet in 2011 Reed was highly competitive winning races and motos nearly weekly against RD and RV.
It was not until 2013 RV IMO with RV where you could say that a prime 06-07 Stew and RC would want nothing to do with RV. Since then loads of guys have gone faster on both sides of the pond but they have not really raised the bar from what those two were doing 14 years ago.
14 - Tomac hurt in SX, comes in halfway through the season.
15 - Roczen back injury, Tomac major crash and shoulder surgery.
16 - Tomac still not 100% from the shoulder injuries.
17 - Roczen massive crash in SX
And after that 17 crash, Roczen will never be back to that 16 level. He's still so incredible that he's still able to win races even with almost having his arm amputated. Point still stands though that due to that crash he will never be back to 100%.

I believe the bikes are even better now so we might see a couple of guys step it up in the next couple of yrs.. AC has the talent & just needs some more time on the 450. A kid named Jett Lawrence comes to mind in the near future as well. We shall see..
That was a factory Yamaha signature bog.
As for Motocross Unidilla was huge for me last year. That was easily one of his five best races of his career and his best post injury so there might be a sliver of a chance that outdoors he can find is old magic.
I also think he was on equal or better equipment in 2011/12. Wasn't always the case with RC and Stew. Comparing his riding in 05/06/07 to 03/04 or 09/11/12 on bikes he loved... different rider.
