Juha Salminen (Fin)

Nobody will argue that 7 time World champion Juha Salminen does not belong in first place. No matter what size bike he rides, he showed he can win an Overall WEC championship. If not for his two years in the USA (2 GNCC Championships in dominating fashion), and bad luck in the ISDE (1 time Overall winner and 3 time class winner), his resume would be even more impressive.
