I've heard rumors that Malcolm Stewart has been saying his motorcycle is not that good and this why he's not doing good this year. But from watching the races, seeing how well he gets off the starting line (Mt. Morris start is up hill, he got a good start and his a big guy). If a big rider can get off the line in the 250 class on an up hill start, the bike has plenty of power. His riding a Suzuki, we all know that the Suzuki is a good bike and his suspension looks good, so it has to be his fitness.

Starting in the front and fading back and back could only be one thing, he's out of shape. He's using the old excuse of "my bike is not fast enough or good enough and if it was, I'd be doing better". That is such a bad way to show no respect for the team that is supporting you and paying your salary. I feel bad for Suzuki City for having to put up with that type of attitude.

When is Mookie going Supercross only. Bubba and Hansen both showed that you don't have to win in Supercross to be exclusive.

I'm sure it's a fact. If it's on the interweb it has to be fact. True story.

Just a sideline opinion but he looked way faster at Freestone during the first half of the race than the second half. He was coasting into the corners alot more during the second half, as were some of the other riders that dropped anchor. His results may have some to do with the bike but even a factory bike won't get him in shape if that's why he was fading.

Didn't his goggles come apart and he had to toss them?

Maybe but he looked tired in both motos.

It's just very obvious after the 20 min mark who is still charging and who is cruising.

I wonder if we would even know who he was, given his results/finishes, if his last name wasn't Stewart?

That's just an honest question, I don't really like or dislike him for any reasons.

Why wouldn't we?
Top half of the field in his rookie year, top Suzuki on the day and doing so on a privateer team

Has yours, or other people's, sense of reality become warped??

For ANY RIDER, he's having a good rookie outdoor season

Yes, and he's bashing a rider because of a rumor he heard. No facts. He didn't hear Malcolm say anything.

I don't see him really "dropping anchor" in either of those motos either. Sure his times dropped off slightly but so do almost everyone else's except for a select few guys.

I thought he looked pretty good at hi point. If he's out of shape I don't know what that makes Barcia because they rode together for most of the first moto.

I'll tell you who definitely isn't out of shape is Bagget. The kid looks even more impressive in person outdoors. Total animal at the end of the moto.

I've heard rumors that Malcolm Stewart has been saying his motorcycle is not that good and this why he's not doing good this year. But from watching the races, seeing how well he gets off the starting line (Mt. Morris start is up hill, he got a good start and his a big guy). If a big rider can get off the line in the 250 class on an up hill start, the bike has plenty of power. His riding a Suzuki, we all know that the Suzuki is a good bike and his suspension looks good, so it has to be his fitness.

Starting in the front and fading back and back could only be one thing, he's out of shape. He's using the old excuse of "my bike is not fast enough or good enough and if it was, I'd be doing better". That is such a bad way to show no respect for the team that is supporting you and paying your salary. I feel bad for Suzuki City for having to put up with that type of attitude.
you heard rumors? lmao!!

may be he has an illness or something?

Yet Andersons not happy with his bike, and j-laws rumor for not showing up was bike releated, but I'm sure highcams right when he says he's just out of shape.

Here's a very straightforward analysis of Mookie's racing...

He can pull a start as good or better than ANYONE...

He can't run the pace that Baggett & the "fastest' guys can...yet.

I called his trainer Eric Sorby, of STD(Sorby Training Data) he says Malcolm is in shape.



Malcolm is a kid who seems to never have taken racing very serious prior to last year. I'm very impressed and think he's going to be a factor next year.
