Clearly the fastest guy on the track, but seriously lacking the mental fortitude to sustain it, and having too big an ego to take blame for any setbacks or failures he suffers. Prove me wrong.

Stewart did not lack the mental fortitude to go fast. His problem was that he never stopped going fast and it bit him.

Sustain was the key word here.

No, I think to be the “new James Stewart” means stupid fast but crashes a lot.

I’d say Tomac, forkner, cianciarulo are closer to that description. Cianciarulo maybe exactly.

Hitting the ground is not being "unable to sustain." He'd get right up and go that same speed again.

If you're trying to compare Roczen and Stew, you're implying that Stew would let Webb catch up to him. He wouldn't.

James mental was his strongest asset lol...

Look up daytona 2011, he destroyed himself and ended up lapping faster than anyone.

Maybe you mean tomac it he's still riding.

"Strongest asset".... You've got to be joking. Speed was clearly his only asset. James' situational awareness and mental approach cost him more titles than he won.

They are the opposite of each other. Both very fast, but very very different in their riding. Wtf are you on about..

Kenny has lost positions or races to Webb being hesitant.

James was anything but hesitant.

Mentality willing to push it to the max, mentality having the will to win at all costs, mentality to do obstacles no one else does even to this day.

I got robbed 3 times in the ghetto ok?all by the same guy. First time I went down the street for the 3rd time that day and he got me at THE FINAL TURN, almost made it. Second time I knew he was around but he cut right across a debris filled vacant lot, got my stuff and nearly broke my damn foot! Well this last time I was in the clear, could’ve cruised my way out, but someone had their hazards on in the middle of the street going 2mph, giving the bastard just the window he needed to get me a 3rd time. I’m blaming that slow mofo with the hazards this time. BTW that same thieving bastard even took my ol lady on a trip through years ago.

Ken may never be the same racer he was before his arm was destroyed. We often see flashes of his old speed and racecraft, particularly with his starts, but he nearly always fades in the final laps.

It is disheartening to watch such a skilled and fierce champion struggle like this and see all the spark drain out of him as the laps wind down. You can see his corner speed fall off, and he's coming up short everywhere.

I turned off the race with about 3 laps to go because I knew Cooper would somehow take it away from him--again--and am tired of seeing Ken lose like that.

He isn't anything like James, though.

Just my opinion but i feel Roczen metal game is stronger than most if dean would have got out the way I believe webb would've caught him but you'll never know now

I dont agree with a lot of what was said here. But, I do agree with KR never takes full blame for his own issues. Just complains about them publicly.

H2 he whined about the ruling over the Red Cross flag. Great it was an accident but you still did it. I got a speeding ticket once, I made an honest mistake of what the speed limit was there and was going too fast. Still my fault. Own it.

H3 he makes a scene over Deano not moving out of the line KR wanted. Which I agree he should have been moving out of the way. But, Great take another line, or just make it happen. You have heard others say passing at Houston has been difficult. Also, KR you line choice after passing Deano was INCREDIBLY poor.

I just wish KR would start taking some ownership instead of crying over everything. It’s racing nothing is ever perfect.

I would say they are similar at underperforming in the amount of big bike championships they have or will have.
