Nothing wrong with it unless it involves Barcia & Roczen or Reed & Stew.

Canard pulled the same move on Barcia a few laps later, but Barcia checked up and they didn't hit.

I didn't see anything wrong with the pass on Metcalf. Sometimes you have to make aggressive passes to make them stick.

Canard was on a mission going to the front and I would say that move on metty was a little more aggressive than
what Trey is used to but it wasn't a bad move. If bam bam had put the same move on metty there would have been nothing said about it. My question is what caused Trey to get such a bad start?

I think trey was expecting metty to run it a little wider.... And i dont think metty realized trey was that close. Racing incident but it did throw metty off which kinda sucked. He looked so good in the beggining of the moto

That was far from a punt. It was a push
What Alessi did to Tickle in Supercross was a punt...

Funny how when you are a likeable guy you can get away with much more. Like Short for example.

No big deal. The only reason Metcalf got into a bad position is because of the big bank of dirt on the outside. In any normal situation, he'd have gone a little wide and that would have been it.

It was fine.

What isn't is a vertical wall with no transition being used as a track edge.

What if Trey hits him earlier, Metty highsides and lawndarts into a wall.

I didn't have a problem with it. Get off the tracks when the Treyn is coming through Tongue

(I recycled that one from the race discussion)

And probably 4 more once he got going. You could tell he was flustered or something, getting passed by people he shouldn't be.

I was thinking the same thing! What is up with a vertical wall right there? It should, at the very least, be cut at an angle.

I agree with GL: "As aggressive as it gets without being dirty."

Metty had to at least hear Trey coming in hot.

Nothing dirty. Metcalfe was just being forced to check up and didn't.
