Oh and Everts was riding a 500cc four stroke while Ricky was on a 250 two stroke so he even had a bike advantage and still got beat so lets just drop the horsecrap about Everts. He was awesome but Carmichael was clearly better.
RCl raced Everts back in 2001 MDN when he was just a kid and not even in his late Honda, early Suzuki prime. Carmichael beat Everts in the semi-final as well as the main. Everts had this to say after the race, “I didn’t have any problems with my riding in the final . . . I got the holeshot and rode at my own pace . . . Ricky was faster than me.” There you have it from the Great Everts own mouth, so enough of this Everts is better or just as good crap. Oh and Everts was still well in his prime
All these arguments are pointless. Its like saying Lewis Hamilton is better than Sebastian Loeb in a car. Ive race both outdoors and indoor motorcross and have done at a high level for years. My best friend beats me everytime in doors and i mean every time. Im never even close. in fact last time we raced he lapped me. But outdoors its the total opposite. I wupp his ass every time.....so you tell me is he better than me or am i better than him..............
They are both as good as each other. Even they accept that. That's why they did the lap of honour together. Everts was a 10 time World Champ and RC was the GOAT (In America). RC was amazing at Supercross and AMA Outdoor but they never raced a whole season against each other so we can't conclude who was the best, they are both amazing racers though.
@PtownMoto haha "damn non english speaking fools" you're so right, I mean c'mon who can't speak english you know. I mean why even bother learning another language if you can speak english right? Everyone should just adapt to english speaking people, the world would be so much better, so much easier !
RC is better then Everts but I feel JMB is the best. Bayle was a champ in both series and was pretty good at roadracing too. When RC beat Everts in the Belgium mxdn, his knee popped out 2x in that race and he still smoked him on a his cr250. Btw, Ben Townley has even said RC is better. He should know more then us since he raced both of them.
Everts never raced much indoors, though he would have been more then decent, he was always an outdoor racer. His whole racing style is based on the outdoor without all the ridiculous stuff you americans put on the track. Outdoors he was the greatest. I am certain that if carmichael or Mcgrath would have come to Europe (why should Everts have come to America anyways) for full seasons they'd lose. He made racing seem smooth and effortless. same cannot be said of RC or Mcgrath.
WTF...we all ride, can't we just get along ??? Fact is, Everts was the greatest Euro champ. Thats it !!! He never raced any american style supercross. So all of you dumb-ass's can shut up. Mc Grath would have smoked him indoors. Everts would smoke Mc Grath outdoors. 2 different worlds !!! Then you want to bring up MXDN ??? Where the U.S. has the most wins...LAME !!!
Dude, Carmichael beat Everts straight up riding a CR 250 2 stoke when Everts was on a Yamaha 450 4 stroke. Plus Everts was too much of a fag to race a supercross seies, which he would have gotten smoked in.
I can't even beleive this is even an argument, everts is way better than Carmichael, and also Bubba he is suppost to be "the fastest man on the planet" but he just so happened to have his ass wooped at matily basin at the desnations, and anyway everts is quite old cairolis the man now he is better than any of ur American riders look what happened in Italy last year at the desnations. Most Americans don't know about any europein riders they see America as "the world"
@49karl49 Hahaha, how was Everts better than RC? Everts admitted that RC used to toy with him. How many times did Everts beat RC, once? And that was back when RC was on a 125 in the mud. RC smoked him every time they met on the big bikes.
@49karl49 Are you on crack?! Carmichael beat Everts ass avery time they ever raced each other! Carmichael hands down is the GREATEST outdoor rider EVER! This is not an opinion, but a fact!
@49karl49 are you a freaking idiot? RC beat Everts every time they raced. European announcers even said Carmichael was the better man. Besides European outdoor tracks are NOTHING compared to ours. They are so easy beginners can ride motos on them and everyone knows it. BTW who wins MDN every year huh? What country has dominated MDN? USA that's who, last year we had a weak team and still won. Enjoy racing Dungey, Villipoto, and Canard this year. You might make podium if your lucky.
@49karl49 You are a tool, RC whipped Everts ass .. Everts himself said RC was the fastest he ever saw on a motocross bike. And why throw Bubba out there, RC waxed his ass too.Idiot.
@todd950209 just look at Stefen's world titles!!!! Everts is the greatest rider of all time.....Mx des Nations Titles do explain it all......Carmichael 3, Everts 5!!!!!
Ama titles ( all american) Stefan has won 10 WORLD titles (all classes) 5 Mxdn titles,101 GP victories in total
14 out of 15 GP's won in the 2006 season.2003: International Six Days Enduro: overall winner, weston beach race winner(various times) and numerous belgian titles, 1 of only 2 men to win 125/250/500cc world titles...only rider to win world titles on all four jap bikes......should i go on?
You guys are forgetting that the MXdN is a TEAM sport. Stewart did NOT have to beat Everts for the U. S. A. to win, but he damn sure could have lost it for the team running full out against Everts.
everts did beat carmichael at foxhills i was there! everts is a legend and althogh ricky is awesome, he chickened out at matterley basin motocross des nations cos deep down he knew he'd get his arse by stefan!!! although america won overall, just really funny to see james steward showing off, but stefan kicked his ass!!!!!!!!!
everts beat a chap 13 years younger then him at mxdn y dnt people just give him credit? people keep saying he wouldnt go to america cause he wouldnt win but y didnt carmichael do the world championship america isnt the be all and end all
I don't know if Stefan Everts vs. Ricky Carmichael would be a very fair comparison...I Mean yeah, they're calling Ricky Carmichael the "Greatest of All Time" NOW...But he's just another one in the line there's been many like him in the past; Gary Jones, Tony DiStefano, Bob Hannah, Ricky Johnson, Jeff Stanton, Jeremy McGrath (Who won EVERY-SINGLE RACE of the 96 SX Season Except 1, where he placed 2nd cuz Jeff Emig, got LUCKY, Now Ricky, next will be James Stewart, then will Mike Alessi...
Well I work at glen helen and let me tell u Alessi will never live up to the hype he just doesnt have the natural talent. And stewart rode smart when he was passed by everts at the mxdn beacause he was told just to stay at a certain position and not hang it all out. And yea Carmichael is a better racer than stewart but stewart is faster straight up. Carmichael just had the right combo of speed, patience and focus that bubba doesnt have when he gets pressured..
he entered a few supercross races and did quite well but stefan isnt know for jumping hes known for his sand and mud skills and his amazing technic.... but wats amazing about everts is that on his last race at the age of 33/34 he won mxdn beating james stewart in both motos and james has beaten ricky at both mx and sx... id lik to see james stewart or ricky do it at that age... its hard to say whos better wen they havnt done a full season togther
Actually, Stewart has never beaten Ricky in the outdoors. Ricky has beaten himself. Everytime Stewart won, Ricky had crashed in that race. And I believe RC and Everts have raced against each other in four motos on equal bikes. RC won every single time. 2003 MXdN they had an amazing battle.
Yes exactly. I don't understand why people don't think RC is the greatest ever. Also, Foxhills was a mud race and in 1998, RC and mud didn't mix well at all. Everts and mud, however, mixed perfectly.
Okay buddy, 1998, Ricky on a 125 and everts on a 250. Mud race...Everts is amazing in the mud and at that time Ricky was horrible in it. Every other time they raced, Ricky won. End of discussion. Ricky is the greatest rider of all time. Everts is second. Stewart third.
Listen idiot, dumbass, RC owned Everts and beat him every time that they faced but one time when everts beat ricky in 125, Ricky was a rookie in that race in 1998.
im not on about millville 06,im talking about foxhills 1998,youve probably never been there so you wouldnt know how difficult it is to ride in the mud,everts was better, end of
I've rode in alot of mud races, but as you said I've never been there so I wouldn't know. But they are 2 great riders, i'm not taking anything away from either of them.
but when rc beat everts everts was past his peak he ws getting ready to retire look dude everts and carmichael never raced when they were both in there prime coz everts was a lot older i still love carmichael but i just dont like people trying to take everts's achivements
They are the living Legends....of motocross....
