Maybe he doesn´t care. Is he doing enything else or just sitting at home on his ass counting dollars?
Wouldn't a better team by Dungey, and...Wow, not that many on the waiting list is there. I guess some of those young guys would be good. What's his name and thingamygig.

Seriously, Stewart doesn't deserve to be there.

Geoff, you're telling me that GL wouldn't be doing backflips if James was racing?

Now I know you're just trying to stir the pot.

Nobody had any problem when RC went to MXdN after only competing in 6 rounds of the nats. If RC would have raced in 3, I still doubt there would have been any argument. MXdN is not about who has earned the right to go over the course of the nationals. Often the nats are used as a measuring stick to see who the fastest riders in America are. If Stewart races one nat and mops the floor with the competition then he should be selected to go.

On a further note Roger Decoster is the sole man responsible for choosing the team. I distincly remember him saying in a dmxs interview last year that if James was willing to race the MXdN he would be on the team. Stewart took himself out of the running not the other way around.

Gibby,
That thing you did, I saw it. Thank You.

As for Stewie......given that his MXDN performances have not been his usual stellar performances I think he should stay home regardless. Something about the MXDN races just don't agree with him.

Pot stirrer! Remember the 2nd 450 rider will be the Open class rider, usually the weakest rider on the team (other than Philippaerts last year) Grant, Short, Alessi they all have the speed to get a good result in the Open class.

And what did you have to say about Dungey before last year's MXoN?

One thing we really have going for us is that there is nobody on earth I'd rather have picking the team than DeCoster. Not that we won't second guess him anyway.

However many rounds it takes him to show he's still the most dominant rider around. I'd be satisfied with one.

Your posts are quite entertaining. RC's motivation was never questioned for the race. Stewarts is, along with Carmichael did it as a semi retirement and James is simply not participating. Two different scenarios.

I am not comparing RC's motivation to Stewarts I am simply comparing their speed/ability. My point being that the best rider should on the team because he is the best rider not because he earned it through the nats.

Furthermore James "simply..not participating" is an untruth; he has stated that he would like to participate and is planning on participating in this years nats when healed.

Why does everyone piss on him for making money?....he took a season off you'll be kicking yourself when he DOES come back and lays waste to everyone on the gate and thus "It's boring" comments will arise......

You go to the Olympics by competing at the Olympic trials and by being at the top ,,,,,If he doesn't race then he shouldn't go.......If he isn't in the top 3 americans at the middle point of the series he shouldn't even be considered.....USA has won without him, and can do it again..

He chose not to participate last year. Hence the contradiction. He stated last year he didn't deserve to ride because he wasn't racing the nationals. If he races them this year which I hope he does. Then we will see. Until then I think its stupid speculating. I'm still waiting on the RV2 vs. JS7 battle!

Must finish season 2 of Bubbas World first.

Lets nominate Brownie until red bull greases all the palms then drop him.
He's used to it.

So you are saying the team is picked based on who is in the top 3 at the middle of the series? What if the top 3 get hurt the race after the middle? What if a guy only races the last half of the series because he is hurt but overalls every race he enters?

It should be earned...So if he overalls all the last part of the series .,and wasn't racing during selection time which is about a month from now then no he shouldn't be chosen....The only reason he would race this year is because its in the US...Give that opportunity to the people who put out the effort, and deserve the chance to represent. He has turned down the chance on several occasions...

Yes, because a 1st, 2 2nd's and an admittably bad 23rd? After a crash and tough re-start that cost him a lap is certainly an unacceptable performance against the best in the world.

The MXoN doesn't need James Stewart to get a crowd. We need an American team for sure, but tell those 60,000 people in Italy that James Stewart was needed to make that race a success.

I didn't say they needed James to get a crowd. I'm just saying it wouldn't break his heart to see James there.

I just hope we get a similar size crowd this year. Then it can be the next race of the century. Apparently centuries aren't made the way they used to be. Wink

I believe this is irrelevant because this was a year ago. I am sure decoster has different opinons on stewart now, and wouldn't just "Let him be on the team."

Thank you for proving my point. This is James we are talking about and second place for him sucks.

He's gotta at least race 1 national and prove that he is worthy of a pick. If he wins - he is worthy.
