Wish they had this race in English. One thing RC taught me was never bet against him. Every year before a season would begin, we'd hear about the next guy who was going to win titles instead of Carmichael. And, every year RC would fix whatever needed fixing and hammer down on anyone who challenged him. On one of the forums they talked about whether RC could be Tomac, if you had a time machine and could get both of them in their prime. Some think Tomac would win. I like Tomac, he's a great champ, but I'd never, ever say someone could beat RC.

Never seen this before. Good race between two legends although Ricky was the true goat. Everts kind of sand bagged in Europe and wouldn't have dominated in the US. He was super smooth and obviously fast but didn't have that win or die attitude that takes a champ to that next level. Ricky wasn't pretty to watch sometimes but had a knack of getting the win. Stewart was the only one who truly challenged him and Bubba still remains my favourite rider to watch to this day.

Realmente acho que o Carmichael foi o melhor piloto de motocross de todos os tempos, mas na minha humilde opinião essa batalha foi injusta, não faz sentido algum 2 pilotos alinharem em um gate com motos de torques, potência e velocidades, peso diferentes, obviamente Carmichael levou vantagem por estar em uma pista onde a 2 tempos corresponde muito melhor, todo respeito ao Carmichael por sua história e ao Everts também, mas essa batalha foi injusta.

You idiots just can't stand the thought of your supposedly best of all time in Europe. Stefan EVERTS would have never won a title over here in AMERICA. CARMICHAEL WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE WAY MORE FASTER AND JUST ALL AROUND BETTER THAN ANYONE WHO EVER SET HIS ASS ON A DIRT BIKE. THAT TRACK IS WIDE WITH SWEEPING TURNS AND THE GOAT WOULD HAVE BEAT HIM ON DAM OLD MAICO IF THATS WHAT HE WOULD HAVE BEEN on. Tortelli was the only rider ever from Europe that could beat Carmichael at times. But again he couldn't keep pace all of the time without wrecking. Why cause he was riding over his head to keep up. Younger and ended his career trying to keep up with EVERTS

Would have loved to see them over a full season. Do not know as much about carmichael but everts (especially at the end of his career) was consistent throughout.

Zolder, Belgium, what a track, they don't make them like that anymore! Or racing like this anymore!

Ricky on a 250 chasing down the mxgp champ on a 450 riding his home track made of SAND. What an absolute animal he was.

The fact that Carmichael beat everts the best mxgp rider ever, on a underpowered 2 stroke speaks volumes

Everts was doing his thing sat there in second behind Ricky, playing with him like a cat, but in all fairness, Ricky was on a 250 2st, everts on a 450 4st, I'm a massive Everts fan always have been always will be, Everts should have had the advantage over Ricky in his own back yard👍

Push hard for the win, just to prove you're faster, stack it and loose for your team mates, that's just not Stephen Everts, he did exactly what needed to be done on the day, he got the job done, there's no bravado in Stephen. He's not selfish like that, I thought he was taking it easy in all fairness, I'm not just saying that either. I know I may sound like that.

Good ride by Ricky, but he had nothing to lose. Back then, even stalling one of those 4 strokes could end your race.

RC said everything : nobody cares about the win by team belgium in this race : the race was the race battle of the king and the king is rc

Ricky was getting so much headshake lol. That track really favors a 4 stroke that has that rotating mass driving you forward and isn't as affected by the sand and deep soil dragging the engine down, plus the traction and raw HP and torque advantage out of the corners and up those hills. You can hear it in their RPMs and the intensity, RC is having to work twice as hard and take much more risk. Also, some of the transitions into the jump faces are really abrupt and weird, seems really sketchy and easy to get spit over the bars on a couple of those. A lot of people don't know that MXGP allowed the 450's to be bored into a 500 at the time, so more than likely Stephen was riding a full Factory WORKS YZ500F. You can hear he's running a gear tall which helps keep the chassis from binding and just maintaining good roll speed then rolling on the throttle in low RPMs and still going similar speed, meanwhile Ricky has that thing pinned to the stopper with the bike dancing around and the front end shaking more than Michael J. Fox... lol. RC is the man.

Everts was a great rider but in America, he would of only been top 5, AMA is a huge step up from the FIM everybody knows that. it's usually traditional for the top European riders to move to America after a few FIM world titles. Everts never did that he played it safe in Europe. Greg Albertyn who was a very talented South African rider competed in the FIM against Everts for 3 seasons racing on the 250's, he was head and shoulders above everts and beat him for 3 seasons in more or less every race. after he won 4 straight world FIM championships he moved to the states and it took him 5 years to adapt and improve before he won his only AMA outdoor championship. if Albertyn had never made that move everts would never of won any of those world titles.
