Honestly, he just looks like his heart isn't in it anymore.

He looks frustrated. It`s some stupid silly little stuff every weekend.

Wasn't it RC who said you make your own luck? Correct me if I am wrong but he isn't not putting himself in good positions by not getting the starts he needs. All in all a good night of racing and best wishes to Reedy, without him I don't know who is going to step up to challenge Villopoto the rest of the series but there is plenty of time left.

You think he's unlucky....?

Ummmm.... The guy is worth MILLIONS of dollars, buys and has whatever he wants, I'd say he's one lucky muthafugger..

Plus.... Have you seen him crash in the last 6 or 7 years, He's made of rubber, again that seems to make him lucky....?

The next 4 weeks will be important for him. I think they'll be better on the "eastern" dirt. How much better remains to be seen. I know the JGR guys will exhaust every resource to make this deal work. A little better luck, keep making progress on the bike and this deal could turn around quickly.

Did you hear him after the heat race win, he didn't seem confident with his answers about testing during the week. James said I don't really know where we at

That said a lot about his confidence. He's just not feeling it - he needs to find his mojo.

i took his post race interview to be that he's just confused as to the unpredictability of his bike right now.

he's not comfortable out there, it's showing basically every week

that coupled with bad luck in some weird spots and yeah his mojo bearing is spun.

I think you are right. He has lost a lot of fight, almost like he has given up. Weird seeing him in this position . Never thought there would be a time where he couldn't run with the front runners. Hes like Davalos now. Hope he can figure it out. RV needs somebody to battle with now.

No they don't. Just the James from last summer. But he was on a yellow bike though...Oops.

He needs to break into his piggy bank tonight and buy out of his contracts and join TWO TWO tomorrow. He needs some Reed mojo. Im not even joking. Reed has turned some past negatives into one big positive and Stewart should be there for the ride.

He needs to change the track up at the compound, get on a 125 and 250 smoker and ride the piss out of them for a while to get some old habits back. And then attack the new layout on his racebike and get his head together. Hearing "Stewart is down" is getting old.

When he puts as much into racing as the other top guys.

I'm not blaming it on starts but just as with Dungey, his starts have been crap. This is the first issue that any rider who wants to be running for this championship needs to address. The days of 2009 where any top 10 position out the gate for James was OK are over. You need to be up there right away. Alessi is consistently good at it and James isn't. So obviously there's a way round this.

Once he's up there he'll at least be able to see RV and (from his point of view) hopefully run with him. But either way he's never going to know stuck in the pack with all the BS that goes on back there. As I said the same applies to RD. Now that Reed's probably out (or at least handicapped with injury) there is one less guy to deal with and this may give him a mental boost, though I guess you could say the same for RV. We'll see.

James is not comfortable on the roach. There I said it. The yami is the big elephant in the room. Stewie is struggling to maintain the pace of the top guys. That thing swaps, pushes, looses the front end, looses the back end and Stewy is doing all he can do to keep it on two wheels. You stick James on a Crf250 and he drives everyone on a 450 nuts. I guarantee it.

I think hes doing alright. Shit he came from dead last to 6th on a completely one lined track. IMO dude woulda won if Davi didn't get his shit all mixed up.

The answer is RV and Reed are faster than him now, plus they get good starts while hes playing catch up. I think james not doing the outdoors last two years has hurt him.

Your joking right, do you realize how fast CR and RV were going out front, guess not. Those guys were gone from the pack when Reed went down.
