By now, you certainly know what happened in the 450SX main event last Saturday in Atlanta. If not, you can watch it here, read about it from Jason Thomas here, or hear from Marvin Musquin here.
Today, Red Bull KTM and team manager Roger DeCoster issued a statement absolving James Stewart of any blame.
“After the race a lot of blame was given to James and I just want to make things clear that the mistake from Marvin was not directly caused by James and we shouldn’t blame him for it,” said DeCoster. “Credit to Marvin, he rode an amazing race and was under tremendous pressure from Ryan [Dungey] for the majority of the race. To lead for 19-consecutive laps is no easy task and how quickly he has adapted to the big bike class in just eight rounds is very impressive.”
There you go.
