Joe Bromley made the announcement before the start of racing here in Unadilla that Ryan Dungey (MX1), Trey Canard (MX2), and Andrew Short (MX3) would comprise Team USA at the Motocross of Nations at Thunder Valley in Lakewood, CO, this September.
JS7 was a little pissed he was not selected ... His sx injury kept him out or he waited a little too to get back in the game or he was just cut from the process as he suggests in this letter ... http://js7.com/2010/08/an-open-letter-from-james-regarding-unadilla-and-mxon
I am happy with our team this year. Shorty at his home track at the MXdN!!! Awesome. That place is gonna come unglued. I can't wait. I don't know what Stewart was crying about in his letter. What did he expect? He hasn't raced outdoors in almost 2 years and he thought he would be a shoe in for a spot on the team If you want to race for your country in the Motocross des Nations, don't sign with a supercross only team!
Got my ticket, I was on the fence at Glen Helen last year cheering for Dungey and I swear he looked over at me and gave me a little nod... pretty cool even if it was my imagination. Really looking forward to this race. We are hitting Sargents for some riding on the drive up.
Canard, Dungey and Shorty.... Team 'I'd like to thank the man upstairs'. Solid team. I'll be there in September rooting them on
Short should have a good time 4 sure and RD might just win it all ... He was stepped up things since last year and I'd bet he wants to win a moto or two there ;0) TC is young and should let it all hang out ... watch out for the speed he is gonna show on that 250
The MX des Nations is for MX racers not for reality TV stars. Could you imagine how embarassing and undignified showing the MX des nations on Bubba's world would be? Big James is mad, Sorby would be cruising chicks, it would be awful.
js7 is out of the picture now ... After it was rumored he was gonna race with the PR team, he has now announced he is not going to even finish the outdoors last 3 races ...
Just finished reading this myself. I was one of the biggest Stewart fans a few years ago. Now I can't really call myself a fan of his anymore. Glad Decoster didn't pick him for the MXdN team. Come sx season I won't be cheering for him. He is awesome to watch ride and is probably the most exciting and creative rider on the track but I just can't root for him anymore.
The lost letter was just another example of the lost mentality of the Stewart Camp. It was so poorly written that I think they pulled it and replaced it with a corporate written letter. Look under the August Archives 2010. I think the first one was written under the wrong mental attitude; sore loser.... I can't stand to watch the TV show, my son thinks it's cool...but I think he's seeing the light. Hard work got James where he is and hard work is what it's going to take to return...No spring chicken!
