Stefan Everts Motocross
Stefan was born in Bree to Harry Everts, four-time Motocross World Champion, and first jumped onto a bike at the age of four. He made his debut in the 125cc World Championship, at the age of 17, and two years later he secured his first title in that division. He moved up through the different divisions in the years that followed and collected an as yet unsurpassed number of titles (10) and GP victories (101).
He was famous for his very smooth style on the bike, making his riding look effortless. He oftenly maintained a standing position on the bike much more frequently than other riders, even in very tight corners. His cornering control was unique and he was noted for running his engine in a higher gear to torque his way around the track, as opposed to revving it out hard in each gear, even on the 125cc and 250cc two-stroke machines he used at the beginning of his career.

Despite never placing much focus on American-style supercross tracks or riding styles, he still proved to be competitive with top US riders even at their own game. Everts’ vast experience helped him to reach an impressive consistency, Ini the later stages of his career, making erratic movements or mistakes very rare, as illustrated by the fourteen-to-one win-loss record in his final season.
Everts became motocross race director for the KTM factory team, after ending his active riding career at the end of 2006, ultimately responsible for coaching their riders on the technical, mental and physical level. He renewed his contract in July 2007, with the Austrian manufacturer for another two years.

Stefan Everts Interview
Will To Victory: The domination of the paddock. You can see it with Jeffrey Herlings this year. It comes to a point where the rider’s belief in his world championship becomes other people’s belief. I think everyone in the paddock this year believes Jeffrey will win. And I believe, when you were racing, most years everyone in the paddock believed you would win. The first rounds you see everybody is still going full gas because they believe they have a chance. They have their own vision of their year. And then, after some rounds, the order gets established. Or not, and the battle continues. And the best seasons are when nobody gives up. It’s a little bit of this I want to talk about, this domination of the paddock. How does one manage that? How do you get there? How does the idea go from your mind into the minds of everyone else?
Stefan Everts: I think, to start off, you are not working your ass off in the winter to have that goal to dominate the paddock. You think, “I want to win this championship” and be as ready as possible. At one point, like in the situation now with Jeffrey, everyone has been beaten before the start. Everyone is already racing for second place. They know that Jeffrey is from another league. But everyone is beatable, even Jeffrey herrings is beatable, but you have to find the way how and for sure its going to take a lot of hard work because the work he puts in is a lot. You are going to have to also put in a lot, maybe even more, and find that weak spot. But it’s true, that’s the way it is. You’ve seen that in many championships, and many big champions, that the paddock is already beaten before the race has started.
For me, in my time, I wanted to control everything. I wanted to be in charge. That was my goal always. To control my riding, my bike, my setup, my rivals, tracks and control myself. Control my mind, control my confidence. It’s about being a control freak. Not everyone is getting to that point but I was lucky to get there. I could go to a GP and know in advance what to expect already, what was coming. So again, it was control about situations that were coming and, especially in my last years, I was most of the time right. And it felt good. That gave me a big satisfaction, to be the boss, you know, and control everything. To control the paddock, to control motocross. This felt good. I felt like a king then. Just for myself, not to play it outside to the people and act like that, but that was my satisfaction.
