He has to be in the top 10.
Reluctantly, I’ll place him in the top 5. There isn’t enough room. Some old favorite has to drop down in rank.
If he wins at MXoN and has great seasons next year then where do we put him?

I can’t tell you the ranks of the top 5 except for #1 obviously
1. RC
2. McGrath
3. Stewart
4. RV
5. Tomac
6. Reed
7. Dungey
8. Johnson
9. Hannah
10. Roczen
The Shop
USA between 5-7.
World probably 10-15.
Now what happens if we compare Dungey's outdoor stats to Reeds?
I just think its very impressive for Reed to have the success he had during a prime RC and JS. Dungey was the king of consistency and placing him over Reed works for me.
Honestly I think Reed, Dungey, Tomac slide in behind the Top 4 and could be interchanged depending on your opinion.
2. RV
3. RJ
4. MC
5. Hannah
6. Stew
7. RD
8. Tomac
9. Ward
10. Stanton
1 is obvious, 2-5 you could make arguments for each guy being 2nd and IMO could move around easily.
Can’t put Stew lower than 6th I just can’t you could make a case for Eli above RD but Dungey’s bad days where 4th. Eli’s are 11th. Too many bad days to put Eli above RD.
Another thing is Wins get brought up to much and not Win percentages. Modern guys have more races for the most part. For Example Hannah won 27 SX races in his career. But if you plug his win percentage from 77 to 79 in todays 17 race season he would have won 27 in those years alone.
RV had a lot of injuries but Eli was looking next-level when he wrecked his shoulders in Colorado. And didn't he barely lose a SX title to RD even after some mishaps? Was that the years his pants came undone?

Eli and Bob Hannah are incredibly similar:
Stewart won so many races but failed to put the titles together... Obviously just a bunch of opinions, including mine.
