Im not saying that Bubba is gone for sure, but if he is, we wont find out til its long been settled. That's just the way it is, and has to be. Think of it from the team/sponsors perspective. I know we all want our information "yesterday" but it cant happen that way in these sorts of situations I would think.
I think rather than call JBone, the journo should have put a call into Ping to get the official story on that tweet of his.
great CN article by Carruthers and probably several hundred italian MotoGP boards burning to the ground over the Rossi deal!!

So I guess you are saying his family is why they did that as well.
OR
maybe you are talking out your ass, don't have a clue what you are talking about and should shut your mouth instead of insulting someone who is widely considered one of the nicest guys in the sport.
Stewart waited and waited for Kawi, then they didn't offer crap. I think Matthes said Kawi did offer them contracts, but they were way, way, way down deep lowball offers to both of them.
Kawi does a good job, but they seem like total dickheads [as a company].
Back in 2004 at Unadilla I went to Stewarts motor home to get an autograph on a pic I took but he was inside. Big James was outside and saw me holding the picture and said he would go inside and have James sign it for me. He did that and had James come out and give it to me, Big James also signed it. So I know first hand he's a nice guy but I also know from people on teams that he is tough to work with.
What are the odds of ruling something like this out?
I wonder if we will see James do his own thing on a Suzuki under his own tent and bringing on JGR as part of the team?
He could still run some of their stuff & promote them to keep his foot in the door there.
And that would get him away from the Yamaha (if that is what he is looking to do.)
Things could get more interesting.....who knows?
Pit Row
I remember when that all went down.
Clashed with his RedBull deal and he wasn't happy.
I'm pretty sure that is part of the reason James left Kawi and rekindled with RedBull.
But at the same time,Kawi knew what they were doing.
James just posted a picture on his facebook saying he is filming a new Oakley commercial. I thought he was hurt?
I'm not a fan of a few guys riding right now, but I certainly don't blow up their twitter accounts with a bunch of "you're a f'n loser" comments!
twitter and their personal facebook pages are most likely all they look at.
still no excuse for all the assholes who say that shit to them, but for what it's worth
Great thread, BTW. If getting off the Yamaha, gives him back his confidence and nothing else, I hope he does it. Big James may be, "Mini Dad" all grown up, but it sounds like he is good to the fans. I've neve had the opportunity to meet James Stewart, but I certainly wish him no Ill will. Mostly want to see is him get his head back in the game and show us some racing! So what he's fallen on hard times. When I saw him ride in person, he was electric, doing things I didn't think were possible.
