James Stewart injured his left knee while competing in round eight of the AMA Toyota Motocross Championship presented by FMF on July 28-29 at Washougal Motocross Park in Washougal, WA.
AMA Racing Motocross/Supercross Director Steve Whitelock commented on the change. ‰ÛÏOf course, we‰Ûªre disappointed that James will be unable to represent the United States and participate in this year‰Ûªs MXoN. James did a fantastic job for the team last year and there‰Ûªs no question that he is one of the world‰Ûªs premier motocross riders. At the same time, we‰Ûªre confident that Tim will be able to join the team and help us keep the trophy in the United States. Tim is having one of his best seasons ever in AMA Motocross and that momentum and confidence will be a factor at the MXoN.‰Û
