no, i don't. he has zero to gain racing this weekend. he has no shot at the championship, why put yourself on the line, because people on message boards think you should? because he needs a ride for next year? to prove he has "heart" ? i'm sure it's a calculated business decision, not really hard to figure out. this isn't the 40 novice class we're talking about. and after getting turned down for the mxdn's last year after saying he wanted to race, i don't blame the guy. again, nothing to gain.
i'm sure when the dude is ready to race again he will.
Two things, sponsors and MXoN.

Hey may not be under contract with Suzuki but I was talking about his personal sponsors. One that immediately comes to mind is Red Bull. And the MXoN team has NOT been picked yet. Stewart flat out hauls in the sand when he wants to. If he had come out and done well at Southwick and then backed it up with two solid motos at Unadilla he would have definitely been in contention.

Yes it has, they are announcing the team today. With that said I think there is something else going on behind the scenes that is keeping James off the track and it has nothing to do with injury.

I agree, I just wish they would tell us.

I think James just needed his confidence back after first injuring his wrist, which is a blow no matter the circumstances, and second getting smoked by Dung when attempting to race and return. Maybe sometimes he gets in his zone where he is confident to battle anyone by doing whatever HE feels like at that time, which in turn always gets put under discussion and pisses off slow white dudes. Or he really doesn't want to injure his wrist still, so he makes a vid on a highway, "What a pussy he just threw a whip he can go race Southwick"...

Fun video, I hope he races Dilla, I furr 1 is tired of a dang European team winning in my country. Go Alessi?

I'm betting he will be a no show at Dilla too.Of all the tracks on the National circuit
Dilla has his number and he knows it.

How much does he practice on a normal race week vs. a an off week?

Perhaps he is just running a few laps to stay at least some what in tune, but not enough to over do it?

Unless you are there, you have no idea and are just speculating.

This. Putting in some laps on a relatively smooth practice track is prob considered resting to a guy who's usually pounding out 30 minutes moto at a clip. He's not just gonna show up at Dilla straight off the couch

The team was picked before Southwick, and will be announced at 12:40.

Of course I'd rather see him racing, but at least we got a pretty cool video in the mean time. I guess some people just like to bitch.
