Please read this guys crap for an article. He writes James Stewart doesn't not "Believe" he can beat the Ryan's ? He claims the Ryan's are two RC's, wtf!!! JS7 has fought more hard earned battles with Reed,RC and Windham straight up than than the two Ryan's have to this point in their carriers. That squid JT needs to find another job cause he sucks at writing articles on real pros.

FWIW, they do GAP him(James) by the same amount RC used to...

Oh and, maybe Ctrefz787 should write articles for Racerx, show us your credentials :-P

To me it reads like a fairly logical writeup based on the authors pro racing experience and what we have seen all year long. Obviously JT's viewpoint will not be popular with the hardcore Stewart fans.

Well written article and unfortunately, for the hardcore JS7 fans, spot on.

I do think stew will get that edge back, hopefully for SX next year at least

Anyone who discounts the 'mental side' of racing at that level is missing a huge part of the equation.

JT is the best thing to happen to moto journalism since Matthes. And you, sir, strike me as someone destined for a short posting career.

I'm in agreement with JT for the most part. I do think Stewart was trying to keep RV at bay in the 2nd moto at Red Bud, and even took RV's line away to the point where RV went off the track. He certainly isn't riding with that level of intensity all the time, though. He seems to have backed it down a notch, and is even alluding to it in his interviews.

I think with all his injuries and mishaps, 7 is doing the right thing riding smart! He knows better than anyone on this board what he needs to do, GO JS7!

Killer article. JT$ hit that one out of the ballpark as far as I'm concerned. #sportpsychology

This touches on why 2011 was such an exciting season. In James' mind, he was still better than everyone else that year, or at least was trying to convince himself, due to the challenges of his peers. With that mindset, Stewart put up a hell of a fight on the track. Same for Reed, he had plenty confidence and was in his zone, until Millville. Dungey was coming off a stellar 450 season from 2010. Canard was hot off his 250 outdoor title and MXdN win. As for Kdub. He raced two events in Huston and Vegas, which have a history of lighting his fire. The point is, it takes more than just an outstanding field of riders to make a perfect storm; it takes the right mindset of each racer to go with it, too.

Sorry to upset you. It's just my opinion and that's the fun part about bench racing right? I know DC reads the message boards so hopefully he will see your analysis and bring your talents to RXI.

I actually agree with the majority of Jason's article. The main point he is making seems spot on to me.

JT$ don't worry that guy is an idiot. The article was dead on the money and James has pretty much said he's not on their level right now.

I agree with a lot of what JT wrote, and I'm a long time Stewart fan as most know. This last weekend, we saw Bubba peek out from behind the curtain...and the big smile is back, so obviously James is having fun & in a good place at last.

That...if nothing else should get the Ryan's attention!

Believing is as fragile as not believing ...and not believing can easily be fixed by winning.

1. JT$ was correct, and was a national level pro for about 17 years. He was a national level pro when Adam C. was about -2 years old. I have listened to him on dozens of podcasts and he knows his stuff-big time.

2. This is not 2008. That was 5 years ago...half a decade...a semi-eternity in a motocross pro career.

3. He is up against younger, more fit riders who have won the last 3 450 outdoor titles and 4 supercross titles between them and whose own career records eclipse his own in many ways. At Washougal, they flat out smoked him.

I agree that James' talent is off the charts, but lose enough battles with the ground (as he has) and even that will be diminished. The truth is that James won last Saturday because the Ryans had trouble. No Ryan trouble...no wins for 7. Even getting a better start will not help him unless it is a drastically better start.

Father Time and Mother Nature are cruel parents-ultimately to everyone,

It's No secret that your not a fan of JS7. I thought it was hilarious last year or so, when you and ping started the rumor about James just hanging around long enough to collect redbull money. Then when James came on the pulp show to squash the rumors you had nothing to say. Yes I'm a James fan.

I think most of us, including James, will believe when he beats the Ryans straight up. A pass on each would make it more convincing.

I like James and I want to believe but it has been a long time now. I love that he's taken what he could get this summer and has been slowly building it up. He's close...

They all start at the same place and they all have to race the same distance.
What happens between the start and finish doesn't matter. All that matters is who gets to the finish line first.

I get tired of the "straight up" talk.
