Great stuff here for sure. Must have taken some time.
Interesting to note that only four people have ever repeated. Villopoto will likely make that five this year.
Current active racers:
McGrath and Carmichael:
Annnnnnnnnnnd to stur the pot... Stewart's win percentage by brand. Yeah, that Yamaha is a turd:
I have always thought stewart was amazing, but this puts it in to a different perspective. He is still pulling better averages than RV and RD in most departments. They are so young, every time they win their percentages jump significantly. Plus, JS had to attempt to steal wins from RC during his first 2-3 yrs in the big boy class...crazy...
i think the think what frustrates people is that he had the potential to beat RC and MC amazing records...he was talented enough... and we all know crashes, decisions, etc...will inevitably erase what 'could have been'...
nevertheless he is already one of the top 5 guys of all time to swing a leg over...
MC was in a ton of main events...nearly double where js7 currently is.
REED has been in a bunch too, 33 more than Carmichael...
i love these stats
is Aldon really all that? (read the article)
it was interesting until you brought that shit into it.
back on topic...
it's unreal the percentages for every rider really. reed's podium percentage is amazing, as is stewart's win percentage.
will be interesting to see RV's percentage over the next few years
year, and compare numbers through their first 4 years. You have to take into account
RC and MC's numbers went down in their last few years.
Pit Row
Check out part 2!
I keep a similar list myself (for use on my little Race Day show in the pits for Feld…..that nobody listens too lol) and the two numbers I usually point out as the most intriguing are:
Reed’s career start/podium percentage at a mind boggling 80% (I’ve had him as high as 86% at times in the last few years) and then Dungey’s equally mind boggling 93.5% start/top 5 percentage (I’ve also had him a tad higher at times, as high as 95%).
To me, those are both some very “Cal Ripken like” numbers! Insane, both are champs, both are crazy fast and crazy consistent, a very dangerous combo! Especially Reed, and especially when you throw in the little tid bit that Paul did near the end of his article: the little known fact that Reed has come OH SO close to winning a handful more SX championships (he’s finished 2nd FIVE times, and usually by just single digit points). I'd say Reed's place in history as one of the all time greats is secure.
At the risk of getting the “asterisk” mob to attack me……think about who both Reed and Dungey have had to contend with while they managed to rack up those numbers! Reed’s career collided with two other "all time greats"; RC and JS, while Dungey has had to deal with JS, RV AND Reed (and of course, Reed has had to deal with RV and Dungey too the past few years, which again, makes it even more incredible IMHO).
Don’t get me started on stats people……I’m taking a rare weekend off, so I’m not on an airplane to Toronto right now, I could bench race all day about this kinda stuff lol
Paul
I used to ask people in the pits “besides Stewart and Reed (#3 and #4 respectively on the all time SX win list) who here, racing tonight, has the next most career SX wins?”
Got ‘em every time ;-) Nobody believed it was KW with 18, who BTW, is one win behind Bradshaw for what was 9th on the list (until RV passed them both last month) and the distinction of “most career wins without a championship”
Just sayin…….
Ok, I’ll shut up now
Paul
Since everyone is trying to do the math on JS catching MC, we all know he’s obviously not getting any younger………but someone go ahead and do some Goggle research on the DOB’s of JS vs RV
AAAAAAND discuss (I.E. yell/scream/argue/flame/call BS/leave me out of it lol)
Paul
P.S. RV is "the new guy" right?
I'd be interested to see the stats of Stewart on the Kawi vs. Yamaha broken down 3 ways to be Kawi, '09 Yamaha, and '10-12 Yamaha and see how those look
Kawi-.625
'09 Yamaha-.647
10-12 Yamaha- .267
