With the support of an all-new team and the capabilities of a
brand-new bike, Yoshimura Suzuki Factory Racing's James
Stewart couldn't be more excited about this weekend's
season-opening round of the 2013 AMA/FIM Supercross series at Angel
Stadium in Anaheim, California.
Midway through 2012, Stewart joined the championship-winning
Yoshimura Suzuki squad and has been focusing his efforts on racing
the Suzuki RM-Z450 in the upcoming 2013 season.
Said Stewart: "I honestly don't remember the last time I looked
forward to the start of a racing season as much as I'm looking
forward to this one. I've been really lucky in that we've had
several months to test, which helped us all come together as a team
and helped me get comfortable with the Yoshimura Suzuki RM-Z450.
We've got the bike set up perfectly for my riding style and it's
working really great. I'm so excited to get back to racing and I
feel like Anaheim 1 and the whole 2013 season is looking good for
me, for the RM-Z450; and for the whole Yoshimura Suzuki team."
Last year, Stewart captured a solid second-place finish at one of
the Anaheim Supercross rounds. He also picked up two victories,
plus two more podium finishes before incurring injury midway
through the season. Despite this, Stewart still finished seventh in
the overall championship points. Additionally, in Stewart's first
outings on the Yoshimura Suzuki RM-Z450 in the 2012 AMA Motocross
series, he raced to four consecutive moto wins and two overall
victories.

"We feel good going into Anaheim 1," said Yoshimura Suzuki Factory
Racing Team Manager Mike Webb. "We've really done our homework
during the off season and we've gotten a lot of great testing days
in on the Yoshimura Suzuki RM-Z450. Additionally, James has been
concentrating on his fitness training and we're set to go. Between
the power of the Yoshimura Suzuki RM-Z450 and the raw talent of
James Stewart, we're more than ready to race."
