Well, there'll be no "jumping ship" to Honda for James Stewart, as Kawasaki has announced they've renewed his contract (check out the press release here, courtesy Racer X Online).
I maintained that moving to Honda would be a positive step for Stewart, because I believe that every pro racer eventually wants to ride for Big Red AND I believe the CRF450F is a better bike than the Kawasaki KX450F. At least in terms of handling. And we've all seen James have problems this year with keeping the Kawi on two wheels, primarily due to front-end washouts.
But all of that is for naught. "Jumping" James will remain a Kawi man, demonstrating a level of brand loyalty that is all to rare in today's sport. Here's hoping that the partnership continue to bear (championship) fruit.
So... how about that MXdN announcement, Kawasaki? You ARE supporting James' involvement this year, right?
