Only the top motocross riders will make it to world championship level, and just a small number of them will win a Grand Prix. An elite few have been crowned champion, but only one has managed three GP victories on a single day. And it comes as no surprise that that man is 10-times motocross World Champion Stefan Everts.
Everts triples up at Ernée
It was another trophy-filled season in 2003 and heading to the final round at Ernée, Everts had already claimed his seventh world title in the MXGP class with the vastly updated YZ450FM after a dominant campaign.
Before the French event, Everts opted to ride in the 125cc, MXGP and 650cc classes, following a comment made in the press conference at the round prior. Having already won double GPs in 125cc and MXGP seven times that year, this would be the Belgian’s first attempt at the triple.
True to his form, Everts took a dominant 125cc GP win, following that up with a start-to-finish victory in the MXGP race to seal the double, but it was the 650cc race that provided his biggest challenge.
Having not ridden the bike until Saturday’s free practice and with the increased fatigue from riding in the MXGP and 125cc races, this was a tough task for Everts, but he was soon in a three-way battle with Javier Garcia Vico and compatriot Joel Smets for the lead. Smets dropped out of contention after a crash, leaving Everts and Vico in a head-to-head battle.
While leading, Everts fell at low speed, dropping behind Vico, but was able to pick it up in second. At one stage it looked like Everts was going to lose out at the final hurdle, but he charged back to catch and repass the Spaniard for the lead. He held on to take victory, confirming the first-and-only triple motocross Grand Prix win in world championship history.
Everts went on to claim three more world titles consecutively with Yamaha, taking 14 of the 15 GP victories in his final championship-winning season in 2006. He would also win two Motocross of Nations events in 2003 (Zolder, Belgium) and 2004 (Lierop, the Netherlands) riding a Yamaha, and his 101 GP victories still stand today as the most ever achieved in the FIM Motocross World Championship.
