Where exactly was RV at when the lights signaled for him to single that section or the triple?
The thing is ,before he jumped on that step on step off were they already signaling to roll the triple?
If he was committed to that section then there probably isn't much he could have done/should have done other then ride it out.
I'd like to see it from a different angle.
No way he is going to lock em up on the face of that triple or in that section if they just came on to signal for him to single them..
I would assume that is why the AMA ruled the way they did.
If the AMA does nothing about it, they are useless, and really the series can operate without them.

Did the guy on the Honda jump that section? or was that who went down?
And with that being Dungey in front of him and tripling ,he went for it just as Dungey did.
His eyes were on Dungey looking forward and staying focused I would assume.
He would have to be.
He was committed to that triple when he landed before that single into the corner,you can bet that.
He had to keep his momentum up.
And no way he could have seen the glare of the red lights til he was on the face the jump.
Their not out there rolling around half throttle in first gear like C riders looking at every bump 3 feet away from them.
They are racing faster and farther forward.
Bottom line is he jumped on a red light and AMA for whatever reason did absolutely nothing.
That could be the only logical argument I think he would have.
I would assume the AMA/FIM talked to him.
Pit Row
Even if they had docked him a penalty that would happen to not change the outcome (like a 5 second one), they would have re-inforced the rule that you're not supposed to jump on red lights. With no penalty, they are saying well, OK, sometimes it is OK to jump on a red. Seems like a pretty dangerous precedent to me.
Think about it.
The yellow flags really don't matter in this situation.
The red lights do.
So where do they draw the line?
If a rider is 2nd or 3rd gear wide open on a 450 coming up to the face of a jump should he lock em up if the lights just turn red and risk injury on himself?
Or should he stay committed and hope for the best?
What would you do?
It would have had to be far before that single into the corner I would assume.
He was landing and launching that single,making the corner and WFO over that triple.
It may not look like he was going that fast on the video over that single into the corner....but when you see these guys in person,they are hauling ass.
You get what I'm saying?
