Ricky dominated supercross and motorcross
Ricky did NOT dominate supercross the way McGrath did. And it's not close.
McGrath 7 titles, 72 wins
Carmichael 5 titles, 48 wins
And while you might ridicule supercross, that's the one everyone was watching, got all the money and press. And EVERY race on TV. Even people who didn't watch SX went to watch it.
Which was quite unlike the outdoor motocross where Carmichael excelled. People showed up (like me)...but the real show was (and still is) Supercross.
Gosh, it's been awhile since I argued MX/SX. Thanks for indulging me!
