Riders went down from some sort of contact in every single race, but in the few instances the rider happened to be wearing an American shirt suddenly the 'euro's' race dirty?
i think it was awesome for him and philippaerts/pourcel to get together for a couple of laps... i don't think anyone at the track, or on here expected pourcel or philippaerts to beat him for a full race but just to have those few laps of action was great

James Stewart (along with the Ferry & Villopoto) is highly respected the world over, not just in the US. What that guy does on a bike is phenomenal and I can promise you that the majority of the crowd at Donington showed their appreciation by clapping him around every practice session, every warm up and the final lap of every race. Ok one dickhead threw a plastic bottle which was indefensible, but thats happened in the states too remember!
It's true that a few cheers went up when he crashed and couldn't start the bike, but thats because us Brits always root for the underdogs - Rattray suffered exactly the same luck in his first race. Stewart was cruising to another clear victory so it was totally unexpected and suddenly opened up all sorts of possibilities for the French team aswell as the Brits who were in a decent position at that point.
The only thing JO2910 is saying is that it would have been nice if Stewart could have been magnaminous in victory rather than reject Pourcel's consolidatory handshake. It's not good sportsmanship and suggests a slightly inflated ego thats all.
JS thought he would just ride away 3 seconds a lap like he's used to, but simply couldn't. But saying they tried to take him out is just bullshit. They were just fighting for a position.
USA won and order was maintained but you have to expect the GP guys to put up a fight. If Stewart had walked away like he did all summer long, what fun would that have been. I would rather see us lose the title in a good battle than ran away with the win.
Makes no sense there, buddy.
He was 12 seconds clear when he cross rutted and tipped over.
He won the first moto by how much? (after an easy "victory lap")
Or you don't know anything about european MX...
That said, he was still by far the quickest rider out there. But you can't blame Phillipaerts or Pourcel for having a good go, because no one else has all season. Stewarts just immense.

oh and btw bubba did act pretty bad after the last race there was a lil jeer from a crowd of people by the podium set up and everyone was talking about james shaking his head at seb pourcel and refusing to shake his hand, oh yeh and taking other riders out is part of the sport people....or i could say love taps ? i think thats what villopoto called it after he took alessi out. but hey usa won congrats !!!!!!!!!
Not that it makes a difference who threw it, I just figured you'd like to know so you don't start giving the Belgians a bad name too for no good reason. But thanks for trying to clear it up...lol
Edit: This is what he had to say:
"i was stood about 5 people down from the prick who threw it. they were brits im afraid. they were sticking there finger up and giving it the wanker gesture to bubba nearly every lap. we were stood with a huge group of belguims that had been drinking form befor 8.00 am but they were great fun, totaly respectfull to all the riders, and we had a real good laugh with them, its just a shame that YOU, THE MIDDLE AGED ADULT ( you were wearing a baseball cap and glasses) had to make the british fans look like thugs. Personaly, i would have liked to of punched you in face for being such a ignorant twat, but i didnt want to risk getting kicked out.....like you should have been."
Give me a break, JS was just pissed he couldn't get his bike started.
Post a reply to: JS cry baby?!
