"My goal right now is to make it back for the last four races [Unadilla, Southwick, Steel City, and Pala]—that’s the hope." - James Stewart
When asked about his return to racing. It has been reported that he is training hard and riding every day trying to get back to his racing speed. Basically he is trying to get his wrist back to strength...

Silly Season News: I've been hearing alot that Honda wants Pourcel and that it is a possibility. Pourcel though has a history with Kawasaki, and there has been constant talk of Mitch starting a 450 PC team (Hanny was supposed to be the first 450 PC rider).
I know that Reed's contract was a 2 year deal with the 2nd year optional. I have heard lots of stuff from our friend in the industry that Reed DOES NOT LIKE the Kawi. There is talk that Reed will opt out of his 2nd Year with them, because he wants to be on a bike that he feels he can win on.
- I also know that before he signed his Kawi deal there was talk of him going to Honda.... so who knows - I personally think he will stay with Kawi. An interview that I read, Reed stated that he is not going to go back to Australia after he retires from MX so that he can persue his NASCAR career. (I hate NASCAR) So what would be the sence of him switching teams... especially when Kawi is paying him the most money.
RV2 stated that his Kawi deal is almost in the bag, and that he wants / will stay with Kawi.
Canard is ALREADY signed with Factory Honda as a 450 rider.
Stewart wants to stay with L&M, but has stated that they are still working on a contract. Big James Stewart Confirmed that Malcom Stewart will be PRO in 2011, so we should see him in SX season. JS7 stated that Malcom may race a few of the final nationals this year.
I am sure that Malcom will be with L&M because JS7 talked about getting Malcom a ride on his team on "Bubba's World".
There has been talk though that L&M may not sign JS7 because he is a bad financial investment because he is not yeilding any results (Though I am sure that this is "hogwash".)
I am not sure where Shorty is going, there has been no talk of Honda re-signing him, though it doesn't make sence because he is a consistant and steady rider. As of right now though his contract is done with Honda.
Millsaps's contract with Honda is up and there has been no talk of Honda re-signing him either. Also I have heard from our friend that his accident is "career ending". Not soley due to his injuries, but because he is burned out and doesn't want to race anymore. There has been talk that he has just been racing for the money, which reflects in his results.
I've not heard anything on Jake Weimer yet.
I know that DeCoster wants another 450 rider... I know that DeCoster isn't able to do what he wants with the team because Suzuki motorcycle and car sales aren't there.
As years past have shown, We won't know anything for sure until they show up to A1 on their bikes...
K-Dub pulled out of X-Games in hopes of getting some top results for the remainder of the MX series. I hope he does good!

OK now Chad Reed has the Epstien Bar, so he is out for the rest of the outdoors.
Check out Josh Hill back flipping himself into the hospital. He was trying to prepare for X games speed and style competition. Bad decision no doubt.

I believe the Reed/Stewart era is over. The Dungey era seems to be underway with a few up and comers headed out of the 250s and into the celebrity circle.
I'll be cheering for Windham this weekend too Tork. Also for my man Dean Wilson!
