WE MADE IT!!! We finally made it to the end of the Vurbmoto Madness Bracket Challenge that started all the way back in March. We didn’t intend on stretching this out until mid May, but you know, stuff happens bro. Blame Slaw Dog and his weird SLAW19 code that saves you 19% on shopvurb.com.

Or use my code: TROYDOG20, which will save you 1% more…

Anyway…for one last time…here’s a refresher.

If you’re late to this party, Troy Dog spent a weekend creating the ultimate list of the best riders to ever do the thing and we seeded them into a sweet sixteen bracket. Each week you have voted either here on the website, or on social media, to decide which riders move onto the next round.

The final championship round was between Ricky Carmichael and Eli Tomac and without further adieu, here are the results…

Slaw give me a drum roll please…

He’s never around when I need him…

Instagram Vote

Ricky Carmichael: 63%

Eli Tomac: 37%

Site Vote:

Ricky Carmichael: 12%

Eli Tomac: 88%

X (Twitter) Vote: Tie Breaker

Ricky Carmichael: 56%

Eli Tomac: 44%

Ricky Carmichael, The GOAT, is the winner as we suspected. However, we were very impressed by how close this race actually was. We go by percentages here to determine the winner, so when our site vote and Instagram vote were flip flopped we took it to moto Twitter to decide the tie-breaker.

RC won the Twitter vote, but only by 8%!

What does RC win? Nothing from us. He’s got enough trophies and championships. He should give us one now that we think of it. We deserve some kind of award for coming up with this amazing bracket and creating chaos on social media.

Don’t worry, the fun has just begun. We’ve started working on a new bracket challenge and we can’t wait to share that with you! We’ll get there when it’s time.
