I'm sure he will release a statement tonight or ride practice and then decide.

Sounds like he'll do practice like last weekend, then make a decision.

I read somewhere that he wanted to race this weekend but his team were urging him to give it another week of rest. Can't remeber exactly where I read it, think it may have been RacerX

Championships gone. Take your time.
I disagree.

That talent pool is DEEP.


I can see the top 6 or 7 spots being on a continual rotation.


While the odds are long, I don't think it would be too late for a run.

I hope he rides but only if he feels comfortable after practicing. The odds of him winning this title at this point are pretty small but yes he could still salvage his season. He could easily win some rounds and get top 5 or 3 for the year...imho.

It's over Johny. Better luck next year, if there is one.

I can't believe anyone is talking about the "title"

He is either fit to race or he isn't , His position in the standings should never be a factor.

Mike Webb of Suzuki, said James would ride the bike on Thursday to decide if he would give it a go or not.

Hope he isn't. If you have to ride practice to decide you haven't given it enough time.

Title shot? Youre reachin. Having multiple title contenders only makes it harder to come back from a deficit, because now 6 or 7 riders will have to have bad races for James to be able to make up points. He just needs to focus on getting wins/podiums when he can and not pushing it too hard. The extra 30lbs hes carrying around isnt doing him any favors either.

well if he doesn't race this week then I would assume he is done for sx. whatever he is struggling with seems to be more serious than everyone things it is.

Where exactly is he hiding this extra 30 lbs..??

He's like 5'7" and 30 lbs would show big time.. at his (and my) height he would resemble a short Big James.. and he does not... maybe he keeps that 30 lbs tucked in his undies Shocked

YOSHIMURA SUZUKI’S JAMES STEWART TO MISS ANAHEIM II SUPERCROSS

Stewart and Baggett Set for Oakland Supercross Return

Chino, CA (Jan. 22, 2016) – Yoshimura Suzuki Factory Racing rider James Stewart will miss this Saturday’s Anaheim II Supercross. Stewart rode late this week, but still is not feeling 100 percent fit to race. He is slated to return to action for the following round in Oakland, California, on January 30th.
Stewart was briefly knocked unconscious in the season opener at Anaheim I on Jan. 9, while running near the front early in the main event. He ran in practice in San Diego this past weekend before electing to not race.

“James rode yesterday and today and felt he still wasn’t back to where he wants to be to race,” said Mike Webb, Yoshimura Suzuki team manager. “The team is happy that James is taking a cautious approach to his return and we’re encouraged by his progress. We want him to feel fully prepared before he gets back into a racing situation and with the improvements he’s making he feels confident he’ll able to race in Oakland.”

Stewart’s teammate Blake Baggett has been back on the practice track and is getting back to fitness quickly. He was injured in a pre-season testing fall and is also slated to be back in action at Oakland.

“We’re looking forward to having both James and Blake back for Oakland and having the team back to full strength,” Webb concluded.

That really sucks for Stew.

I readily admit I have NEVER been a big Stewart fan, but I certainly enjoy watching him ride, and there is no doubt his unbelievable talent on the bike. Theres no question he adds excitement to every race he is a part of.

But honestly watching him the last few years, its just waiting for the yard sale. It sucks but no one can argue.

And I HATE seeing anyone hurt, it guts me to see someone carted off the track on a stretcher.

I kind of wish Stew hung up the boots a long time ago, instead of putting his body through these season ending injuries Every. Single. Year. since 2010.

Sad

You had a better chance of winning that powerball the other day then James coming back and winning the title, even if he did race tomorrow.
