FULL MOTO: James Stewart's Suzuki Debut after 3 Years Away | 2012 Hangtown 450 Moto 1

Coming back to the AMA Motocross Championship after a while away isn't easy, but James Stewart made it look that way in 2012 on a Suzuki, even after not having raced a full season since he won every single moto in 2008 on a Kawasaki! Not only that, Stewart had raced supercross on a Yamaha in 2012, and had made an ultra-rare switch between supercross and motocross, making his return to the outdoors even more complicated. It didn't matter, however, as Stewart immediately gelled with the Suzuki and trounced the field, going 1-1 in his triumphant return. New team, new bike, no problem!

Huh I noticed Stew had a red seat while his teammate Metcalfe had a black seat haha. Wonder what was up with that.

[@gawdszn302]

They actually showed battles back then instead of follow the leaders who have checked out lol

[@nilediggs5794]

Due to injury huh?

I wounder how James S lap times on this track and many others compare with todays machines and current hot-shot stars lap times on the same tracks 🤔

[@uncleyetti9553]

Same track technically yeah, however they have different layouts every year; so couldn't accurately compare. Would be interesting to see tho if we could
