ha ha Mike is a racer and rode well I think JS made a bobble too but Mike Just latched on good for him....but I saw Mike ride really well and match some times in Seattle 2009 (until he went down)

JS had a 54 flat same as practice and MA pulled a 54.6 from latching on so I'd say it was more Mike. (Mike was 18th with a 56.5 in qually.)

Just for Fun Seattle 2009 Fastest time MA 53.6 then RV 53.9 then JS 54.0 now I know JS coming from behind...championship etc etc. But MA has shown the speed before-(at least once Smile )

Wow!........ So I thought this set up issue was supposed to have been resolved?? The Yamaha is just a strange and odd bike. I don't care if JGR has all these trick resources or not......it's still a Yamaha. He should have went with the Suzuki.

It was bad decision to after the money instead of the bike. Sounds very similar to some french guy.

Not if it's a one year deal. At this point in his career you can't really blame him for taking the money. He has won pretty much every title there is to win and James seems to be pretty upbeat about the whole situation. If he is happy with it we as fans might just have to adjust to the fact that he isn't as pressed on winning as he is with securing his future. Just MHO.

Yep, at the end of the day. Motocross is a very short career and he should make all the money while he can. He was brilliant for going with the money (if thats what he did) because he's only a few years away from retirement.

Pretty much. But Stewart was fine on that bike for the first half of last year. It's like a night and day difference between JS 2012 and 2011. Last year, he did have his crashes, but he still looked fast and fairly comfortable on the bike. This year, it really looks like the bike is holding him back. It's like he can't push at all.
He looked like he was really tight and nervous about crashing, not smooth and aggressive at all. Could have been hurting from the practice crash also, that crazy ass crash would really kill your confidenceSick
