Don't think so. Points are down to 20th aren't they?
Everyone who makes the main gets a point.

Maybe he went down there with the idea that he'd ride if he felt up to it at the time the gate dropped?

What he said ^. Besides, Pourcel can't be too mad at Canard. Trey didn't put him in the LCQ.

Yeah if it's literally just a sore shoulder then that's ridiculous that he didn't ride. Really? A sore shoulder? Now if he's broken a bone or separated a shoulder, then that's a different story. I'm sure we will know more soon.
Oh ok, let us know the last time YOU got ran over by a friggin dirt bike and then still rode 20+ minutes at the elite level....

Canard was barely in front of pourcel in the LCQ.... Canard. The dude that had a factory Honda ride for years and now has a factory KTM spot.

Yea, I think it's safe to say I would justifiably be pissed that Canard pulled off the starting line when he could have just as well done that in the lcq. Pretty much jipped Pourcel out of potentially earning some points for the night just because he wasn't feelin it. Not very cool in my opinion. At least save face and make an attempt.

(This is coming from a huge Canard fan btw)

The gates are so stacked this year it's gonna be hard for most guys to get into the main. Factory or not.

If Canard was "barely" in front of Pourcel, then Pourcel should have ridden faster. That's not Trey's fault.

CP had shit starts and it's his own fault that he didn't qualify for the main. But with that said, come on Canard. The shoulder can't possibly be that bad that you race through a heat, semi and the LCQ and choose to not even try the main. For 1 point?

Stupid.

And it's also stupid that they don't have 2 reserves in case that some one that made the main doesn't line up.

Canard choked. Didn't qualify out of the heat race and crashed all by himself leading the semi. Is that not the definition of choking? Did you people not see him wash out his front end in semi?

Canard (an even higher paid factory rider) was just one spot better than 5th in the LCQ, so watch your fuckin tone bro

So because of that Trey should have just pulled over in the LCQ in your opinion? Seriously?
Clearly not.

My opinion is, Trey hurt his shoulder through the day. The proceeded to ride like shit in his heat, semi and qualified very last spot, CP the alternate.

A bit of team communication would have meant before the main, AFTER the LCQ, CP could have got some inside info and raced.

You have a copy of Canard's and Pourcel's contracts? If not then you have no idea how much they get paid.

Your comments are usually funny but not this time "bro"

I've never ridden at the elite level, so that's your answer right there.

Right. My question is this: how do wash out your own front end? I'm sure that Canard wanted to sit out the race while his teammates all finished on the box so badly that he intentionally crashed himself out.

A wasted mind is a terrible thing.

Maybe Canard still thought he could race the main at the start of the LCQ. If you're sore and trying to get into the main from the LCQ, why would you race hard and risk crashing to get 21st gate pick instead of 22nd? Just cruise around to keep your spot in the main. No need to risk crashing and risking further injury and missing the main for no real improvement in gate pick.

For real, I don't see how people can't see this. I mean, Kenny choked at the MEC.....with the lead no less, classic choke.

Nothing to do with Canard specifically but I think it's crazy that the rules state you still get a point without lining up. Isn't not showing up to the line more like a forfeit situation?

If you qualify for the main through finishes in the qualifiers...then have to set the race out because your injury might make it unsafe for you or even others around you if you rode irregardless, I think that being awarded a point is fair. I think it might be better to have it be conditional or something, but I think a rider who qualifies high enough to be there deserves the recognition.

I can't stand the term 'choking'.

It might apply when a rider makes several mistakes over the course of a few laps and is clearly rattled or underperforming, but the margins of error are far too small and variables too numerous in Supercross to label one miscalculation as a choke

Agreed, if the altervative promotes injured guys goin out there that arent in proper race shape.

The statement that an athlete "choked" is usually coined by those who have never been in said athletes boots.

So you're saying that if Canard would've rode in the main he had regard for his fellow riders safety?

By adding "ir" to a word that already has "less" as a suffix turns it into a double negative. Thus by using "irregardless" you're actually saying "with regard".

Also, since I'm being a ass for correcting your grammar, one doesn't "set" out of a race. While someone could "set" out to race they "sit" out when not racing.

I am saying that Canard had regard for himself & possibly those around him that might have been negatively effected by his lack of control brought on by his injured shoulder.

Was that grammatically correct enough for ya, bud?

My comment was purely sarcastic, because of what TogaSet wrote:

For people that have never been to the knife's edge at that level it's easy to armchair quarterback a situation...
