Stewart and Ferry to Skip X Games

IRVINE, Calif. – Monster Energy Kawasaki riders James Stewart
and Timmy Ferry will not be participating in the 2007 X Games in
Los Angeles in order to keep their focus on the AMA Motocross
Championship series.

Stewart and Ferry are currently just seven points apart at the top
of the point standings with just four rounds remaining.

“We understand the exposure and excitement that the X Games
offer, however, our number one goal is to win the AMA Motocross
Championship,” said Monster Energy Kawasaki Team Manager
Mike Fisher.

“Racing on an indoor course requires different bike set-up and
riding techniques. And with the series championship this close, we
just don’t have time to properly prepare for both events. With
only two remaining breaks in the series, we will ask our riders to
continue preparing for motocross.”

Stewart currently holds the AMA Motocross standings lead with
290 points. Teammate Ferry is close behind with 283, as they
prepare to close out the season. They will be racing four out of
the next six weeks, beginning with next weekend’s event in
Millville, Minn. TransworldMX
