James Stewart was a fucking awesome rider to watch, there was nobody who ever rode a 125 as well as he did. A 125, a bike that is now not competitive with even the best rider. On a 450 he showed flashes of brilliance, in the first few years he was next level when he didn't crash. He was riding so close to the edge the closer people got, the more he crashed. But it's approaching 10 years since he was a threat for anything but some wins, and almost five since he was anything more than a footnote. Raised the bar, the field caught up, time marches on, end of story.
Will he come back someday and be a threat? I think there are people who want to believe it, but he's just a human, a human who will be 32 years old when the gate drops at A1.
I don't see Eli Tomac or ever the German pulling in the kind of attention to this sport that James did.
Age doesnt mean anything. However, James hasnt been riding and that means something im afraid...
