HELL NO!

Dungey is a smart racer even in his rookie yr. James hasn't figured that out yet when he trys to win on the first lap.

Every season has an asterisk it you think that way.

No season has an asterisk by it. Last man standing with the most points is the winner.

Its really quite simple.

That is what I was saying, unless someone thinks the opposite, then they would be wrong.

exactly..

The super bowl isn't worth any less if Tom Brady was injured that season.

The World Series isn't worth any less if Derek Jeter is sidelined.

The NBA championship is still the NBA championship if Lebron sits the whole season out.

So why do people argue over and over about this in MX?? Obviously people crash out of a championship chase and it makes people bummed out, but there is a reason somebody is crowned the champ at the end. Because they made it out on top!

You can use all the asterisks you want as long as they form a great big number 1 on his plate.

That is the wrong question - the real question is if he comes back and blows everyone away - does he ride at MXDN?

You mean just like he absolutely destroyed everybody at A1?

And to answer your question, absolutely not - no asterisk. I'd be surprised if he makes it through the 4 races without crashing.

Plus ditto on what everybody else has said.

If he does come back, Dungey will be smart enough to know not to race him and risk that championship lead.

Hmmm, let me ask this. If Ricky Carmichael had not retired in 2007 and was still riding, how many years would he have continued to win the championship? 1 year? 3 years? 5 years? So does every championship from 2007 to, oh, 2012 get an asterisk? The question asked in this thread seems to indicate this line of thinking.

Good point, there's no way he's going to make it through 8 motos without crashing.
His 24-0 season is a clear testament to the fact that there is no way he can possibly make it through 8 motos with absolutely no pressure.

He'll be lucky to make it through Chapel Service Sat Morning...

not really, the fastest guy wins a lot of the time...only exceptions I can see are

hmmm...

Reed's 2 titles 04, 08 (RC and JS were active and injured or not yet arrived)
RD5 2010 (lets see the list of injured...JS, CR, RV...could go on, but he was faster than the rest...)

take 2006 on the other hand...RC, JS, CR rode and finished every round and who came out on top....RC, no asterick, straight laid wood to everyone every week and didn't need anyone faster to crash...he just beat em all...

yeah yeah I know, 'injuries are par tof it, got to be in to win it blah blah blah', but that isn't really the question being posed...

You do realize that one and won are two different words with the same pronunciation. right?

I say NO. James Stewart shouldn't be allowed to race MXDN's even if he comes back and wins every moto. Right? He doesn't race outdoors, so why should they let him race MXDN's? Everyone in this forum is against James Stewart being on Team USA, so stick to it. Don't be changing your mind even if find out he's the fastest guy.

My thoughts on James Stewart racing the last part of the outdoors series is, it will take him 1 or 2 moto's to shake off the dust, then he'll be killing it and win the rest of the moto's / race's. Most likely Stewart will be coming into his own and finding his comfort level about the time the MXDN race comes around. But he should start Supercross testing so he'll be ready for the 2011 SX series.

Your thoughts?

What is the point of Stewart riding two or three nationals? If he is going to do any, he should do the whole series imo. If he was planning on doing the whole series, but couldn't because of injury, then that is a different story.

fair enough. I just think it is a shame for the fans that they don't get to see all of the best riders out on the track contesting one another. But this is an old argument...
