Seventh is Ryan Dungey, who’s bought the titles up there however not all of the wins he wants. The factor is, to me, he bought beat by Villopoto 4 years in a row, after which he was positively not the quickest man in his final two title years however used his smarts and expertise to get it down. [Editor’s note: Scoreboard – AH]
Rick Johnson is subsequent, and I bear in mind being on the race the place he handed Hannah in all-time SX wins. It appeared just like the sky was the restrict for him however that was it, he misplaced the subsequent week when he fell late whereas main after which broke his wrist. He by no means received one other SX once more. Additionally, the ’87 title was most likely his if he doesn’t knock himself out at spherical one after which break some fingers afterward.
Bob Hannah was, by all accounts, the quickest rider in ’83, and possibly ’84, on manufacturing unit Honda, however saved getting damage. He was, after all, the man within the late ‘70s and there was no finish in sight for his profitable till he broke his decrease leg water-skiing.
Knocking on the door are Webb (two titles, 21 wins) Jeff Ward (two titles, 20 wins) and Jean-Michel Bayle. They’re all legends, for certain. JMB, particularly, doesn’t get talked about sufficient as a result of he retired actually early so the numbers aren’t spectacular. Ask anybody who raced him how good he was, although. And sure, it’s superb Damon Bradshaw NEVER received a 450SX title.
Okay, these are my rankings.
