British Superbike stats, results and history
An ELO-based rating system that ranks every superbike rider in history based on race-by-race performance. 0 riders rated across 6,091 races from 1952 to 2026.
Men's MXGP / MX2 / AMA SX-MX / SMX / WSX / MXoN and historical 500-250-125cc are rated together against each other. WMX is rated as its own ladder so the women's ratings reflect head-to-head competition within the WMX field rather than being diluted by the larger men's race volume.
The same mathematical system used to rank chess grandmasters since 1960. Every rider starts at 1500. Winning races against higher-rated riders earns more points than beating lower-rated riders.
We process every race result chronologically from 1957 to today. Each moto is a separate event - your rating updates after every race, not just at the end of a season. Over 6,000 races feed into the system.
Finishing P1 in a field of world champions is worth far more than P1 against a weak field. The system automatically weights competition strength - beating Jeffrey Herlings moves your rating more than beating a privateer.
Because ratings build on each other across generations, we can compare riders from different decades. A rider from the 1970s who dominated a strong field will rate highly, just like a modern champion.
ELO-based, tier-weighted, eligibility-gated. Every race is scored head-to-head between every pair of finishers using the ELO algorithm used by FIDE for chess rankings. A win against a higher-rated opponent moves the dial more than a win against a lower-rated one.
Championship tiers. Not every race counts the same. A win at MXGP against world champions is worth more than a win at a junior feeder series:
Eligibility. To appear in the Power Rankings a rider must have raced at least 500 Tier 1 races - the "competed with the best" bar. Change the floor above to see more or fewer riders.
Two views, two questions.
Ratings are recomputed nightly from the full results database (1952–present). If you spot a rider ranked in a way that doesn't pass the pub-argument test, let us know - the methodology is always open for debate.
