San Manuel Yamaha’s James Stewart has confirmed he’ll be back this weekend in Toronto’s round of AMA Supercross after escaping injury in a scary lap one crash during the main event at Jacksonville last Saturday night.

Stewart was in good form during the practice sessions across a new layout, a tight entry to the series of jumps after the opening curve saw the 25-year-old fall in what was a scary accident.

Initially it was feared that former champion had dislocated his hip, but a message sent from his team after a medical check indicated that he hopes to be in contention for next week’s event in Canada.

“I was really hoping to pull this one out,” Stewart said. “It was my home state, I’m familiar with the tracks, all my fans were cheering me on and it’s just really disappointing. It’s all about Toronto and the rest of the season now.”

Stewart slipped to fourth in the standings, 23 points behind series leader Ryan Villopoto.

Round 12 this weekend will see the world championship series leave North America for the first and only time this season as the Rogers Centre in Toronto represents the next stop on the calendar.
