"After missing the last two rounds due to a concussion sustained at the season opener, James Stewart’s main event at Round 4 of Monster Energy Supercross in Oakland ended after just eight laps, as the former champion pulled off, citing blurry vision, according to a team press release.
Stewart qualified directly from his heat in his first race back and was running third early in the main event before his lap times dropped from 54-55 seconds on laps two through five to the 56-58 seconds on laps six through eight.
According to Yoshimura Suzuki team manager Mike Webb, the symptoms started early in the main event. “James came in feeling he was good to go,” he said. “He rode three days this week and put in a lot of laps. He was riding well and looked more like the old James. He was solid all day and did well in his heat although didn't feel 100 percent. He got a great start in the main but after a couple laps he started to struggle with blurred vision and by lap nine he pulled off.”
Webb said that Stewart will undergo tests early this week and the team will proceed from there"

For the asshats who have been posting redonkulous stuff in other threads, i hope you all get clicked.
From the moment I saw him on the bike Saturday night, he looked the most uncomfortable that I can ever remember. His rhythm was way off, and he just looked out of place.
I hope that either he fully recovers to the point that he is himself again, or hangs it up before he gets hurt. Lot's of time left in his life. I hope he lives it out in a very healthy state.

To the folks saying put a fork in him, is that what you really want? Like him or despise him, he adds entertainment to our favorite show and is fun to watch. The day he says to heck with this, will be a shitty day for all of us.
Instead, he came back out of shape and unmotivated.
Unless he is on top of the box all you hear is he is a pussy, he is washed up etc.....in his current status of being fat, slow , looking like shit and so on...he still was right there with the best of them .....he'll get it figured out....health is first!
If Dungey had pulled off, not a single person would wonder if he was really hurting. Same goes for almost every pro rider ever. Problem for James is that he has pulled off so many times after a bad start, quit so many races while having a bad day and skipped so many races with dubious excuses. More than anyone ever, by far. He always got a reason, some lingering injury or practice crash. The excuses get thin after a while and they are as thin as cheap toilet paper for James now.
So maybe he's truly hurting this time or maybe he would just rather quit than get passed. Doubt anyone posting here really knows.

Let's see, it's been two weeks since he passed the test and he still wasn't ready.
Doesn't take a doctor to understand he was not ready, therefore the test is not a good enough determining factor.
James came into the season in great shape and with excellent speed. If not for the incident in the first main event of the year, when he was running near the front, he would probably be sitting nicely in the points.
