you can't fucking tell? twatter is another thing....maybe
not james stewart racing
our 2012 team building efforts, our rider, James Stewart, will not be able to compete in
the upcoming Monster Energy Cup."
"2012 team building efforts" = JSE (where his camp is going to end up at for 2012.... JGR or Suzuki maybe,or maybe doing his own thing on a RMZ...who knows).
"This decision was obviously a hard one, but it was made after going over the various
factors associated with keeping our program as a top-level team in the AMA
Supercross/Motocross racing categories."
“I had a real tough decision to make,” said James. “I want to race as bad as anyone, but in
the best interests of my team and the 2012 season, I have to make decisions that not
everyone will like or understand. All I can do is stay true and be honest with you all and
ask for your patience and understanding. As soon as there is news about my 2012 plans,
you'll know!”
It's been rumored & confirmed he has been talking with JGR.
We all know they are not ready to go yet as far as 2012 goes....more then likely other sponsors coming on board the Team.
They also still need 1 more rider (if you take JS7 into consideration).
Also,we know that there has been some talk about him riding yellow....
Obviously if he was bringing any personal sponsorship to a yellow team in some sort of deal, that wouldn't be ready to go yet either...(could be for numerous reasons).
None of those teams are going to debut a rider like James with deals half way done at an event.
They try not to do things half ass and for good reasons...if they are still in any type of negotiations.
"We all would have loved to be out there competing at this event; but the consistent focus
of our camp this off-season has been centered on the preparation for the 2012 racing
season. And so this choice had to be made. Apologies to all the fans and sponsors, but at
the same time, we have to thank you all for your continued enthusiasm and support."
Working more deals....to show up at A1 with a full complete package,no rushing.
Things are more thought-out ,nobody's feelings get hurt and things are set in stone by then.
IMO
NO EXCUSES COME A1!
He will have had plenty of time to prepare and get things completed and be on the best program as possible he could put together.It's up to him to perform at 110% all season....regardless of what color or team/tent he is under.
Looking forward to seeing his results in 2012.

Some will never understand or nor will they try but Im gna have fun doing it my way bc at the end of the day, it's me & my fans that matter
Yeah guys so shut up if you dont like the way he does it!
He sorta hinted he didn't think he would have his deals done by then...
I think they just sent it out to confirm 100% he would not be racing it.
It would be cool to see him on suzuki aswel!
I'm not a big fan of the new generations yams at all (i think the 09 yams handled much better than the latest generation) seems alot of riders cant get on with the newer yams. Its a shame because i think as far as build quality goes the yams are pretty hard to beat! James on a yellow bike racing outdoors would be sweeeeeeet!
RC took a new zook and raced at MGM finding several problems and lost due to a mechanical on tghe clutch- YHe was smart and used it as a gauge to build on for SX....it worked he won the sx championship that year-
I don't know about Stewart but I think Dungey should be out there if we learn anything from the past-
If Stewart has been riding SX he might have an advantage as I think most teams are using SX suspension...So even villo may not be set up and "Dialed"
for what it's worth
Pit Row
I have an ametuer friend waiting for a possible JGR AM ride that has to wait to see where JS7 goes.
I will purposely avoid any sponsor that gives JS7 money for being the faster couch sitter in the world. 40th place at the Pala National is faster than JS7 and anyone else who doesn't show up. Give the sponsor money to them.
IF your deals are not done, that means you have NONE, so grab a bike and ride, you have no sponsors to piss off, only your fans, which I am not.
This whole riding and not riding circus of his is a joke. People used to race with broken bones and on "stock" motorcycles when they needed to. He's lost his heart for racing that's for sure.
