Maybe not, but look at 2011, once RV got on the 2012 KX 450 it seemed like he was doing better. Could have been a better bike for RV, but could have been something else too.

Try again.
When KTM flew Dungeys ass to Austria and closed the door on a private room and promised to do whatever it took if Dungey would do the same they didn't ask him to beat Arvee, they asked him to win a SX championship on the bike they were going to build for him, he did it and a shit ton more, all with a cool demeanor and solid commitment.
His story is part of MX and SX history.
Davey Coombs is a part of AMA American MX history and digs that about Dungey and IMO those intangibles were involved in the decision to place Dungey in 4th.
Nothing against Arvee, his ability to carve around a outdoor track on the back wheel is magic, and his line selection toward the end of the 2nd moto is unmatched. A great champion, but not a great story.
The other moved to a program that never won a premiere championship here and was underdeveloped
One guy won the premiere title his rookie year the other didn't
Head to head in 2011 Dungey had more wins
Dungey had 46 wins to RV's 27
I'd say what guys do in the premiere class outweighs whatever they do in the lites
RV at speeeeeeeedddd.
See how this can spin out of control?
Chad was very obviously the best guy that summer. Go watch the races before Millville.
Like I said originally. You can’t count “ifs” it doesn’t work. Dunge choked at steel city and lost the title. Period.
You're not the best guy that summer if you lose by 96 points

This post was in response to gabrielito's last post above.
Like others have said, RV has 5 titles to Dungey’s 4 and Dungey never beat him in a series straight up. Seems like RV should be higher.
head to head rv had the wood on dunga in wins, afaik
who scored the most points in head to head races would be interesting
its "content" and draws a crowd even me, so its done its job.
