Vid: Everts Rides Again

Tuesday, November 22, 2011 | 1:05 PM

Video: Micky Neale // MPORA // MOTO


Moto was lucky enough to spend the day in the company of greatness in the form of 10 time world champion and true legend of our sport, Stefan Everts. Despite having being retired from competitive riding for over 5 years it is clear that everts has lost none of the bike skills that allowed him to dominate GP's for so long.

RC would have come out on top...not being biased, but have you seen how stubborn RC is? ask js7, or cr22, or st101, or kw14, or...the list goes on...no disrespect to Everts, what an amazing run he had but he is not the badass rc is...

Everts broke his wrist I think, he crashed into a slow rider while practicing about a month ago.

RC handled Stefan at the Des Nations they entered, that's for sure. Stefan seemed to handle most everyone else from the US including "the fastest fraud on the planet" Bubba....There really isn't a question of who is the best (RC, hands down) but Stefan was a great champion over in Europe for many years. One thing Stefan has that RC never will is an ISDE overall....

You clearly didn't watch that MXoN, tomktm. James rode intelligently, for the sake of the trophy, and you are a tool. Just another one of those guys who runs their mouth and has no skill on a bike to back up their ridiculous comments

Shocker... Everts still playrides. Was I supposed to get all wispy eyed? I'll save that for watching RC blast around on a two stroke!

Is the 350 program is being tossed in the garbage I wonder.....Roczen and Musquin are on 250's and Dungey the 450.....nobody racing the 350

Dak446 - did or did not Stefan beat Bubba? If you don't remember I suggest looking it up. And no one is going to buy that James was riding smart - when has he ever done that??? LOL. What a Lou-zah you are!

KilloMoto - KTM sold more 350's last year than any other model so I doubt they would scrap it. I agree that they didn't get the success they wanted in the Pro ranks but for they killed it in the consumer market.... which is where the company makes money.

The Everts family are legends over here in Europe. Harry Everts 4 times World Champion, Stefan 10 times World Champion and Liam Everts.....well who knows.

I think I read that Musquin and Roczen are gonna compete on opposite coasts, and then ride the 350 in the pro class, when their coast is resting. Confirm or correct me if I am wrong.

everts was tasked with reserecting 450 program as rd5 wanted full power version of open class machine...
pity they stopped development as nagal would of been champ this yr in my opinion unless you are ac222 you are wasting your time on 350 and even he is giving away 15 places at the start....
think ktm will run 450 with some smart mapping options to tone down hp during mid laps so not to use up to much of rider strength....
just a thought...

oh yeah dak 446 james was trying his ass off to get away when stefan cruised buy on the pegs through one of matterly basins long off camber turns it took james two laps to recover and by then the race was gone he had nothing to offer that day but stefan was destined to end his career like that just one of those days everything went perfect for him...
james had hit the deck in leg one too
best rider was watching though that day the track would of set up perfect for rc he would of won by half a lap.....

Was it just me or did the music suck??? The vid showed the same thing over and over....... Watching one of the best mx riders in a sand box playing "left turn" Was a lame as watching figure skating for 5 minutes. I don't think he broke 15 mph the whole vid! "Thumbs down" Can we get a make up vid of SE racing ?????

Hey REF-man - sorry that the truth hurts! I find that most people who lash out against criticism of Bubba are either A) 12 years old on their mommy's laptop, B) never ridden a day in their life, C) Posers who follow the big names of the sport but don't know the history of it, or D) flat bill hat wearing Cali dudes who drive around in the lifted up truck their daddy bought them.... Which one are you?

@tomktm......you forgot E) Guys who get fed up with one track mind, idiot haters that use every story as an opportunity to get a dig in on somebody they obviously don't like and are more than likely jealous of..............that is the one i am!! Now, go exfoliate your face and make sure your dress is clean for work (or school) tomorrow!!

About that MXdN Bubba-Everts thing...

I was there, believe me, Bubba looked just like any other racer that day.
He was trying hard, bike was all over the place.

Track was super-deep-rutted, just what Everts likes.
Everts crushed them all that day, Cairolis ride was awesome too!

Bubba is probably the worlds fastest rider (for a couple laps) and he´s 125cc outdoor motos still makes me drool!

But that day, Everts was the man.
Bubba, teamtactics? No way! He has a bigger ego than that....
Imagine getting beat by a 35 year old euro!

Cant wait to see team USA at 2012 MXdN. Bubba, Villopoto, Barcia!
(And Herlings with the fastest lap...)

JS got worked by Everts that year, get over it superfans. The "riding smart for the team" thing is laughable, he is incapable of riding smart as said.

RC would win hands down. And yer, Bubba got his ass well and truly kicked in 06 by the King. No excuses. He lost. End of.

Everts was, is, and always will be, the man. RC might have beaten him in the odd race, but over a whole season racing all over the world and not just in his back yard, RC would be sucking the big one.
Everts was a God, RC just a little boy by comparison. I know it´s hard for you yankie doodle hillbillies to accept, but it´s the truth. Of course you´ll all start sprouting your usual crap, blah blah yadda yadda, but it will never alter the FACTS.

Stefan Everts = 10 times a WORLD (you know, that place the USA is just a tiny bit of) Champion.
Rikky Carmichelle = 10 times a national (means one single country) Champion. It´s a great achievement but it ain´t WORLD CHAMPION dude. Sorry.

Unfortunately for you Euromike your ass backwards theory holds no weight and no one cares what you have to say. You've proven yourself an idiot time and time again. Have a nice life in Euro-land wherever you are wearing your nice beret, metrosexual fashionable clothing and smoking your ultra thin female cigarettes.
