My point is the Stewie camp keeps everyone in the dark about a lot. We are constantly guessing and reading hearsay never knowing the truth. (Maybe we can't handle it?) And then there's I am racing, I am not racing, I am racing, I am not racing, I am sick, I stubbed my toe, I may do MXDN, I may not do MXDN, I think I wanna do MXDN...etc. etc. etc. People are sick and tired of the drama straight up. As much as I HATED RC for dethroning MC and then giving REED years and years of fits and frustration there's one thing he would not do and that's pull off. Yup too stiff, tongue in the spokes, visor up over his head, bars bent to the sky, a kawi on his back, ... He stayed in till the bell rang And sometimes finished with his own bell ringing. I am gonna take a little flaming for this but I think this is a reality.
James, THE PEOPLE JUST WANT TO SEE YOU RACE!
Just saying.
James will always be stupidly fast.. his speed has never been in doubt..his speed was there on Saturday but his usual problem of riding on the edge when he has people near his speed resurfaced. And my point is that if he is flustered running Dungey and desalles pace.. and you add even more riders at that level only 5 weeks away - then he may make bigger mistakes and crash .. short however may be more consistent and get a 3rd or 4th as opposed to James win or bust style. I guess that is Roger's thinking. Unadilla bore that out.. James was faster but couldn't put two motos together.
I think Short deserves his shot I think he deserves his selection. He is the second best American in the 450s.
Don't forget if James wins the next 6 motos the team can be changed until the night before the event.
1-2 in the 450s and the top 250 US riders is a great team.

Who is They ? the decision makers ?

Well, James ain't earning points for going to any future MXDNs. Maybe someone from the selection committee will respond .... but don't hold your breath. I'm thinking this all should have been done behind closed doors. It's not hard to imagine that the other teams / riders involved simply needed a decision made and couldn't wait any longer. But who knows.
I'm glad he finally views the MXDN as being important ... and just hope he is sincere and not just motivated by his reality show. He never seemed like it was that big of a deal to him in the past.
I'm not thrilled with Short but DeCoster made some rather valid points about why they chose him ... and it's about more than just the rider.

As far as the MXdN, in my business at least it's very common when people are disappointed for it to come down to differences between what the speaker thought he said and the hearer thought he heard, regardless of what was actually said, but it doesn't mean either is insincere or acting in bad faith.
I'd be curious how much communication went on after that, particularly given the uncertainty over Stewart's recovery.
As far as the choice between Stewart and Short, either is a great choice even if for different reasons. I'm pretty sure having two good choices means you make a good choice either way.
btw I agree 100%.
