That's good news. Well, at least he hasn't left JGR. That could've been the biggest mistake of his career.

When James sat out 2010 MX, people wanted an * next to Dungey's title.
Who will be the first to put one on James' IF he wins it this year?

This season comes with asterisk in bonus. There is no way around it.

Probably should have said "could be" instead of ". . . could've . . "

IMO he needs to stay and work it out.

James cant win with you guys.

If he doesnt race yall say he is a pussy.

Now that he is you say its cause RV is out.

He already said at the beginning of the year he was racing the nationals.

RV should have the * for the SX season then. All his competitiom got hurt. So it wasnt legit right???

Injuries happen. Sucks for all of those that are injured. But the races must go on and thats how it goes.

Saying he is only racing because RV is out is bullshit.
^Yup^

Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't...

If he races and dominates, he will have made it a boring MX season... but only dominated because the competition wasn't there...

If he races and doesn't dominate, he's a washed up has been that may as well retire because he'll never win a championship ever again...

If he crashes and gets injured, he'll be accused of pussing out and faking injury (that is unless the fools that come up with this crap actually see bone and blood, then he might get a small break from the bashing)

I bet he shows up on a Red Bull Zundapp.

Any takers wanna bet that DeCoster throws in the towel? He keeps the KTM truck parked and saves KTM a truckload of money this season?
Take a second and re-read your last few sentences.

Now don't you feel like a complete tard? Why the HELL would KTM "throw in the towel"? They have a real legit shot at an outdoor title.

If anyone think Stewy will go 24 - 0, well, your on somthing good, I guess.

I'll be surprised if he really starts at Hangtown.

I think it's sweet no matter who he rides for. I am willing to bet Suzuki got their budget back this week and are taking him on for nationals and next year with Red Bull helping out the team. STAMP IT.

Bunch of bitches in here man! If James doesn't race, he is scared and doesn't care about the fans or the sport. If he does, he is only doing it because everybody is hurt! Make your fucking minds up BITCHES!!!!

if this is true, then what does it say about moto journalism and the massive secrecy thing that goes on with the teams, reporters, and teams and reporters in cahoots with one another. Why play up all the drama, do an interview with Coy Gibbs on 4/24 (5 minutes with....Coy Gibbs), your co-worker at RacerX interviews J-Bone on 4/17 (the jgr/stewart rumor update), all making it sound like no one knows what the hell is going on. Then say, pffffft, knew it all along, been in the works.....

I get it if he's not going with JGR and is doing his own thing and J-bone and Coy knew nothing, but if he does line-up on a JGR bike, then that's kinda lame.

My opinion is Villopoto's, Canard's, and Reed's injuries played into it. Especially Villopoto's. All signs pointed to no before that, including that interview with Albrecht. There's only one guy he'll have to deal with now.

I will say though that in this situation, James couldn't win. If he races, it's because a lot of the top guys are out. If he doesn't race, it's because he doesn't care about his fans or the sport. It's a lose lose situation for him. Now had everyone, including himself, on the team said from the start and all through the SX season we're riding the outdoors, it wouldn't be a lose lose for him.
bullshit...the only racer that would have that effect on james is stefan everts. i doubt if james is afraid of anybody on the track when he is on a scooter he is conmfortable with. RV is a badass but by no means does he intimidate and influence the others on where and when to line up at the gate...you crazy turd tacklers all gaga over RV and his "mx superpowers" need to come down from the clouds once in a while
