I know he is not know for being great at setting up a bike or a strong rumor alway s has been out there that he is nt great , but god looking at his bike yesterday ,how can he be such a great rider and miss the bike setting in both races that much , the bike just looked terrible , it was all over the place , the back of the bike was hoping all over the place , IMO the factory suzuki is the best bike out there , and he looked great on it in SX this yr , but dam yesterday , they got it sooo wrong , peick and IT9 ,both looked great ,and had good results ,bike looked alot better ,

When did he complain about his setup?..I thought he said the plan was to make it out of GH in one piece...

James has a lot of good people around him for bike setup. I think it's about as good as it's been.

Did you see all that from Ireland? Unless you were standing along the fence at Glen Helen how did you see enough of Peick and Tedsco to feel that their suspension was better. Not a lot of TV time for those two.

I 100% agree this weekend was all the bike. I have no doubt if the setup was on point he would have walked away with it both moto's!!! Even the fastest man on the planet can't make a turd fly.

Why is it that when Stewart doesn't win it's bike set up. I try not to respond to the stupidity but it's like driving by a wreck. How about this for the 10,000th time. Maybe James Stewart isn't any faster than the other 9 or so guys most days, some times it's his day, he's on and he wins. Sometimes it isn't his day and a 5th or 6th is all he is capable of. I know it doesn't fit the FMOTP pedestal but it's the truth. Why do some people find it impossible to accept this? If Lenny can accept this how hard can it be?

one , i never said he would win , i was only asking the question ,,of why his bike was bucking all over the place in the first race especially , compared to everyone he was racing , most time s we hear of a bike setting off , people just say the rider is making excuses, cause its hard to see , but these guys are only trying to get 100 of a sec hear and there ,i dought he could have won , he just was nt the quickest on the day , but god in that fist race the bike was all over the place , and it does nt take a genius to see that , i am sure its not all JS7 , making all the dessions , and i know everone can get it wrong , still a steady start for him and and a younger james would of maybe hit the ground hard trying to win when the bike was off , so good for him , he finished ,steady and is in the championship for the long run hopefully

It is one thing for Stew to finish P3 or P4...10-20s back. But this was different. Does anyone really believe that Stews natural level of speed is similar to Weimer? That is the pace he was running the 2nd half the last moto. Did you see anyone else's bike squirming in the rear on the hard sections and kicking off of lips like his? Looks to me like they set the bike up for the softer / sand sections way too much. If you look at the lap times...you will see Stew's variance in laps times was all over the map. He nearly crashed half a dozen times. He looked really really fast in the smoother fast soft sections....hence the pass on Barcia. He was also very fast in practice 1 when the track was smooth. As the track got rougher and more square edged..he went downhill big time. Smart ride to get the most he could.

You'll be gone in a day or two. I didn't read one racist remark in Randy's post.....but you sure do like to throw accusations around.

On the Stewart setup thing....I don't think his setup looked bad at all. A lot of it had to do with line choice.....choose bad lines and it'll be a rough ride no matter what you're riding. I think James did the best he could yesterday and he met his goal of just scoring some points and getting out of there healthy. The track was brutal and was making some of the fast guys not look so fast ( or smooth anyways )

This is the first race of the series, folks! The guys at Yosh know how to set a bike up, even if James isn't the most gifted at telling them what he wants...and I'll bet it'll be a different story next week. Frankly, from what little I saw, James didn't look relaxed and like he was having fun. He rode tight. Maybe he had some first race anxiety or something. There has been lots of pressure on him to kill it since RV is out...and the haters don't consider Dungey a real threat.

I'm thinking Stewie for the W next week.

Results definitely back that up.

I'm going to guess that you're not smart enough to see the irony of calling Randy a racist redneck, then complaining about "personal insults." Intellectually stimulating indeed.

What he said! James clearly states that they were way off on the setup, hopefully they get it figured out by next week

Well your first one in this thread was pretty dumb for someone with 2800+ posts.

Everyone knows the first race or two the bikes aren't going to be dialed in. Especially on a track that no one has been on in five years. It's different than say Hangtown when they have the previous year's settings to refer too. Couldn't do that yesterday.

I'd be willing to bet if GH was round 3,4,5 etc...James would have been faster than yesterday.

I actually thought you were just being sarcastic and I was legitimately saying your post was excellent. If you were actually being serious you're just a kook who won't last a week. Your call.

Let's see, the last time GH held a national Reed was on a bike very similar to what Stewart was on yesterday. The KTM 450 and YZ450F didn't exist. You really want to play that hand?

I just got an imaginary text from Stewart, he want's you guys to stop. Seriously.
