Bear in mind that RC might have opportunity to win the 125 class at the last round for some years to come. His breaking that record is inevitable.

As much as I like Travis, I believe RC would have smoked him out there today.

The "record" is meaningless , just as what brand he was riding when he set it.

Ricky sandbagged in the 125 class for years against "B" talent. He hung around and around and around.

it was a weak scenario and won't earn a lot of respect from real race fans. If the race had concluded without the gratuitous actions of Mr. Brown, RC is 2nd overall. It wasn't legit and he won't gain any respect.

But RC has consistently shown that he is all about him, and him alone.

but I believe you’re missing my point: What does he have to prove by dropping back to compete against what is obviously inferior competition?
How does that make him a greater rider in the annals of MX history?

Well, if he had jumped a year earlier, we wouldn’t be having this discussion, would we? That year let him further pad his stats. Looks like it makes all the difference and you made my point for me.

Everyone considers themselves a real race fan but I have to wonder if your choice of mount (’00 KLX300) doesn’t taint your objectiveness on this subject.

In your opinion.

If you don't think he is one of the greatest riders ever, then I must argue that you are showing your bias against RC to an extreme. That is a fact - not an opinion.
Oh yeah, I've not seen many facts recorded that contain the words "sandbagged" and "cherrypicked". Very interesting. I'll have to look them up.
They need all the help they can get, cause they sure can't sell KX's ... I hear you can get a smokin' deal on a KX at just about any dealer in the country. Maybe the titles will help them sell-off the dusty 2001's, before the 2002's get here?Congrats...Team Green 125/250's
Congrats to Team Kawasaki for a GREAT year! RC's records are just icing on the cake. The team must feel great - they won all the major US championships with bikes that get little respect from the press.
