This is a tough question to answer fairly, to me it comes down to JS and The Dogger. I have to give the edge to Dogger because what I seen him do on a kx500, he could ride those bikes like there was nothing to it.

If Lechien drank you under a table, you weren't a drinker.

But, to answer the question of could a modern rider stay out all night like Lechien and still win, yes. I wont say the riders name, but in 2010 he met three girls in the hotel bar and at 7 in the morning when we were going to the track he was in the hotel sauna with them, naked with a bunch of champagne bottles around them. He was there on time and won that day.
Possible riders from the 2010 story in each class.

250:
Tomac
Pourcel
Rattray
Wilson
Canard

450:
Reed
Dungey
Windham


Jeez, I don't know who the rider in question was but after looking at who won in either class anywhere in 2010 I have my guess but all these riders don't strike me as super party oriented...

I went through just overalls so it's possible I missed someone who just won a moto, not overall...

Most talented riders I've ever seen are Bubba, Everts and Travis. Current most talented in the US is probably either CP or Kenny.

1 name thats been skipped. Jeff Ward. The only rider that successfully transitioned from the 70s style and tracks through to the 90s style and tracks. He was a legend on 80s. Champ on a 125,250, 500s, and sx. Came back well after retirement and won supermoto titles , beating guys like Henry, TP , Caselli.
