I think RC is a sandbagger. Sheesh, send him off to Europe. At least there he will race against Everts who has won in every class and the ISDE.
I mean, you have RC who won 24 straight moto's by a LARGE margin yet he is still in the 250 class. He needs to move on to something else so we can see those that don't have the skill battling for 1st.
BTW, all of that is sarcastic. Bubba is only 17. Bubba has only been a pro for 2 years and he has crashed himself out of 2 chances for championships. Once in his rookie SX season and last year before the outdoors. Seems to me he has a lot of learning to do unless he wants his KX250 to take a scoop out of his hip like RC's did!
Just b/c he shows amazing speed does not mean he has all that he needs to compete in the 250 class on a consistent basis.
What he is doing is best for him and his career.

I beg to differ. Records don't mean everything. You have to take into account quality of competition. Others are just now stepping up to RC's level, while most prior champs were fighting pretty hard for their titles.Overall, when you consider the records, RC is the best rider ever to date.
