I thought he already said he would be out 6 weeks?

Would be awesome if everyone was there though and able to race....

it makes sense....in a mudder there wont be too much impact on his hand and wrist perfect opportunity to make up some points. especially if stewart doesnt finish well.

Dude is tough for sure. Riding through dislocated shoulder at southwick, broken scapula at minnesota. Mx riders are a unique bunch.

KW beat him to the punch!

Bye the way, highly doubt that he will be racing unless the broken hand rumor was bullshit. A lot of soft tissue damage which produces swelling and affects range of motion(if fx is near a joint, not to mention stability and strentgh to hold that bike. Highly unlikely!

Too bad he wouldn't wait til the last minute to see if James sat out or not, and then show up and gut it out all secretive and all...................Silly

That seems too risky for permanent damage to me. The title is down to a one in a million shot. I don't think the title has been won by 50 points since the mid 90's......which is what he is looking at.

I guess never say never. Gutsy none the less.

As much as he wants to be out there, I just can't see him risking it....

Even though he never gets to hurt to race in SX, I would like to see him sit out the rest of SX and be 100% for MX.

wouldn"t a Rekluse auto-clutch save some energy by not having to reach for the lever ?

It's not over yet, RD and RV could crash out two times in a row. Plus, Stewart is a former shell of himself now, and doesn't seem to have what it takes to keep it on two wheels anymore. Well, I take that back, he HAS kept it on two wheels a few times.

Nobody is scared of Bubba anymore, he is just another rider now!

Agreed. I think, or least hope he has realized the MX crown is vastly more important than the SX title.

Well I think the SX crown has a little more prestige but another MX title would even out his shelves..

He's already screwed in the points. Why even try, I say no way.

REED... If you ever for some stupid reason read a thread in vital.... Don't pull an Alessi and come back before you're ready!

WOW!....that's a big statement dude! He had one shitty race , and he's a "former shell of himself"? He'll be healed up within a few weeks , so i guess we'll wait and see. Again , Stewart pissed me off this past weekend , but if that dude is healthy.........Every single rider on that track will have to race the best race of their life to beat him!

Didn't work real well for Alessi in MX.

Must have been a DoDo bird.
