I can't help but think the holdup on the Stewart deal is either
A) Waiting until the Nations is over for one last Kawi ride.
or
B) Kawasaki is negotiating with L&M to start selling thier brand thereby keeping Stewart on green. I know Villapoto is moving up but I can't believe Kawi would let Stewart ride anything else with him on top by such a large margin. He is 99% guaranteed to put your brand on TV each and every minute he rides.
did anyone else remember that Dungey may have had an influence on this deal. Dungey has been training with Stewart most of this outdoor season and he most likely was looking for a change and with Dungey there he could have help set up this deal.
