Bubba shouldn't be in the top 10!
Wow, that's a surprise coming from you John.
Stewy IS one of the greatest. You cannot deny that. With the inovation and speed he brought to the sport, it's virtually unmatched to date. He WAS the "fastest man on the planet". Something else you cannot deny. He could fall, be last, and be first in less than 5 laps. Consistency and focus might have been a couple of his only issues. Especially of late. He had a chance to be the greatest, but gave that up for the bling. Hey, nothing wrong with that as long as he's comfortable with it. He's not living the life you want him to live. He's living the life he wants to. He worked for it and deserves it. I ain't got no beefs with Stewy. Past hopes? Maybe. His life, not ours.
I think he deserves a top 5 just due to the pure skill he had over his competition in years past. Sure, we've had better ambassadors for the sport. Some way back in the list, but not many that wowed the crowd like he used to and still does. Well, in SX practice and heat races only.
He'll have something for the MX series also, but as is the case all his career really, how many times will he go down and what will it cost him?
