The triple crown was awesome but they should reverse

Something that I really don't like about the triple crown format is how they determine a winner in the event of a tie. In the 250 class Osborne and Forkner tied in points, but Forkner was awarded the victory because he had a better finish in the final race. In my opinion, victories should be the first determining factor in deciding a winner. If each guy won one race or if neither guy won a race then I understand using the current system, but if one guy is a winner and the other isn't I feel like the guy who won should get the overall.

Just my opinion, but I like seeing a greater emphasis put on winning.

they should make it. 3 points to win the first one. 2 points to win the second one. and 1 point to win the third. so the best possible score would be 6 points. than the intensity would be high in all three

They should reverse your 1st moto gate pick in the 2nd moto.

Who wants possible contrived outcomes?

I dont see whats good about a rider who is far from the fastest win because he gets a holeshot and there isnt sufficient time for him to be past by the faster riders..
What are we going to have comp game type catch up mode? Transponders retarding your ignition as you get to quick?

Most of what a l heard from the riders, the ones that make the show and take big risks said ?thumbs down..

They don’t care what you and the riders want. They want more winners (they got that last week) and they want more people in the stands and watching tv. They think this recipe gets them there.

They know you and I are gonna watch and go and they know the riders are gonna ride what they are told to ride.

Everyone lines up under the same rules. There are no individual penalties given out.

I dislike the triple crown. I can't not watch SX, so have to deal with whatever these promoters come up with and in this case of the triple crown, those within the industry who thinks its so fantastic.

ATL. The last main.. was not so exciting, because Anderson could just ride around and still win the OA. Which is what people were saying from when it was introduced. If your total in 1 and 2 is XXX above the others, you know you only need XXX position to win the 26pts, they won't push to win the "main" as actually winning it is meaningless. Just finish top 4, 5, 8, or whatever the number is.

I'm hoping they move them around to different cities each season so that everyone gets the chance to see them live.

Are you suggesting that they just change the number of points for the winner and still have 1 point gaps? This won't change anything. It's just adding 3 points to everyone's score.

If you were suggesting that they change the gaps between all positions, then you have it backwards. This would make the last race the least important. If they were to double points in one race it should be the last one. Look at what the scenario would have been last weekend heading into the last moto.

With double points for moto3: JA was on 3 points, JB and BB were on 7, ET on 8 and MM on 9. JA could finish no worse than 1 place behind JB or BB and no worse than 2 places behind ET or MM. JA wouldn't have been able to cruise in the final race. Instead of going in needing a 4th to guarantee a win, he'd need a 2nd.
