Paulin will propbably never win a world championship ,but is 4x mxdn winner.
Febvre one world title 3mxdn winner.
Will these two riders go down in history as some of the best French riders ever ?
In twenty years ,how will they be talked about...?

Special note to Seguy, Charlier, Frossard and Ferrandis too.
When the MxDN comes around they will be talked about thats for sure. For Paulin it will be his career highlight much like Magoo but that is because they don't have championships by them selves.
France was stronger in the late 90's to mid 2000's. Injury's play a role as to who goes but they had Seb, Pichon and Bolley racing at the same time and they were winning the 250 world championship year after year plus you add on DV who won every where in the world and Roncada who was 2 points away from a AMA title. If Everts is the bench mark than Seb beat him and it only took 2 years and Pichon took it to him multiple times on a 250 two stroke vs his works 500, arguably the last full works bike raced. IMO if Pichon was on a four stroke like the CRF450 the 03 season could have been much different and he is a two time world champ anyways and national winner.
When your ranking the French do you use SX as well? They are the second best SX nation. If you do JMB, Marvin, Pichon, Seb and Pourcel plus DV are in a different league then the rest. They all won GPs, Nationals and at least 125 SX races with most winning 250/450 SX races.

He was not happy with his bike this year and obviously underperformed by his standards. He will work his ass off this winter and will come out swinging next year.
