MONDAY CONVERSATION: JAMES STEWART

Alpinestars has been delivering performance of the highest level on the motocross tracks of the world for almost 50 years. Racing on Sunday and developing on Monday is a way of life at Alpinestars. Welcome to the Racer X Monday Conversation. When Yoshimura Suzuki’s James Stewart announced he had a torn ACL (suffered during practice at the first race of the year) it seemed like only a matter of time before the knee gave out completely and he would have to get surgery and call it a season. Instead, he’s actually gotten stronger. He’s avoided further damage to the knee despite a few getoffs, he resumed training and riding during the week, and finally, in Atlanta, got a good start in the main event. From there, it was on him to deliver, and he did. At the team hauler after the race, we talked with him about it—and Stewart made sure to mention how critical the team was in getting this win.
