JAMES STEWART SETS SIGHTS ON MX
J
ust days before the April 23 Foxborough
Supercross, the Yoshimura Suzuki Team
announced that James Stewart will sit out the re-
maining rounds of the 2016 Monster Energy AMA
supercross Series and focus on the Lucas Oil
AMA Pro Motocross Championship, which gets
underway May 21 in Sacramento, California with
the Hangtown Classic.
Injuries have decimated his supercross assault
and Stewart is going to use the time to let his
body heal and rest up, while also using the time to
get in some outdoor testing.
"James has a hairline fracture in his ankle and
he aggravated his back injury from his Daytona
crash last week in St. Louis," said Yoshimura
Suzuki Team Manager Mike Webb. "Clearly, he
needs time to heal and get ready for Hangtown."
"I want to be out there racing," Stewart said.
"My fans and sponsors are important to me, but
ultimately I need to focus on getting completely
healed-up and be solid and ready to go the next
time I roll up to the starting gate at Hangtown." CN
James Stewart will
sit out the rest of the
supercross series to
focus on the upcoming
start of the outdoor MX
championship.
