Is it possible that riders have had a few years to study and have caught up to his speed? Or has Stewart lost a step. I am not saying he won't "go the other way" on his settings and begin to dominate, but Reed seemed close last year, Villopoto at the end of the year and now Dungey?
I thought once he got on the 2010 magic carpet YZ 450 that he would be untouchable. Perhaps L&M needs a different approach on bike setup. Two years in a row they have missed the mark.

So which is it, bike set up or has he lost a step. Contradict yourself in one post consisting of 2 small paragraphs.
Why does a good race have to turn into such bullshit when it comes to message boards?

'sept now.
L&M had Stewart's and Hill's bike working great. Stewart rides hard and will pin it even when things aren't the best. Did you see other riders bike's are night? Everyone was struggling with the track and whoops. Stewart just isn't scared to gas it when the track is rough and rutted.
Hill looked solid in the main event and moved past many top riders, to finish 6th overall. Hill actually looked very smooth and in shape all the way to his top 6 finish.
Were in the era of a mature James Stewart.
i've said it for a long time now.... Feld SX ='s WWE
oh and about bike settings........ blubba could have won that race with an old clapped out 98 KX125... he's just that much faster.... "settings" is just a very lame excuse...
Pit Row
Once he got knocked off the leader board in the first practice session I watched him to see if he was going to grab a top 5 spot and each time he crossed the finish line.....no "2" on the leader board. I'm not saying that he looked bad, I'm just saying that the speed wasn't there on Saturday night. He was the first person out for the second session and about 3/4 of the way through the lap is when he fell.

That was pretty amazing, how he closed up a 4.5 second gap in 2 laps and passed RD. If that didnt convince you, nothing will.
It kept us on the edge of our seat anyway....... Cant wait till next weekend!!!
Looks to me like Dungey got tight, and Stewart started riding the pace that Dungey had been on until that point. Had Dungey kept his pace up would he have won? Also noteworthy Dungey turned his fastest lap the latest in the race of anyone...
And yes, Dungey kicked ass. I definitely wasn't psychic enough to predict that.
That said, Dungey's pace put them both waaaay in front of third. Hope that the Kawi camp gets it turned around and make the show better.
Man, it was a great race. Don't worry, be happy.
