“The opinions expressed regarding James Stewart during the Cycle News interview with Jeremy Albrecht on the 21st
of April and subsequent article by Kit Palmer do not reflect my or Joe
Gibbs Racing’s thoughts with respect to James. My experience with
James is he is a responsive communicator, even late at night he always
calls me back. With respect to being at the track, it’s often my call
on whether a rider is healthy enough to race. I know it’s always best
for the fans when as many riders as possible are racing, but there are
times when it makes sense, especially when a championship is not on the
line, to spend a little more time rehabbing an injury so he can come
back strong and not risk further injury. James is a racer and there’s
no doubt that if it is safe for him to race he will be on the gate.
Anything that was perceived to be negative toward James in the article
is regrettable. We hold James in high regard and I wanted to make our
thoughts on the article clear.” – Coy Gibbs, Team owner.
