I have not given much credence to the JS and KTM rumors because quite frankly I though they were complete nonsense. I just could not see KTM coming up with that kind of money.
So I come across a comment by Ivan Cervantes who has just signed with GasGas for next year. Cervantes is a 3 time World Enduro Champion and has ridden for KTM most of his career. The interview was in spanish and I had to use a translator but one comment he made was that KTM was cutting back on some offroad to free up money to hire JS. I'm still not sold this is in the works but it was an interesting comment.

If Stew won on one, big 4 sales would take a shit, badly.
They save this year and buy a top guy.
IMO, the others arent doing well and KTM seems to be getting stronger.
My next new bike will be orange.

Beirer: It isn’t really a realistic first step. We have learnt that lesson in Europe when you add the superstar before the bike or team is ready (in 2006 KTM signed Seb Tortelli and Mickeal Pichon and both failed miserably), it doesn’t bring you anywhere. Maybe that rumor came because of our close relationship with Red Bull, but James Stewart is not our main target today, we are focusing on many other things. We want a strong Supercross bike for next year and get a really good rider, nothing around the other story.
not afraid of confrontation!
