Seriously? You can apply that rule and hand out penalties each week.
As far as the ignoring the black flag goes... okay.
Penalty is over the top for such a minor instance.

I have said it before, someone like chisolm doesn't do that on his own accord, he was asked or payed to do it. I doubt the stewart camp was involved, but I doubt that it would have stopped there if given another chance. Obviously all of that giberish is just my opinion!

So I guess he got more penalty than Lawrence in some ways
think of the hundreds of thousands that move "POTENTIALLY" cost Chad Reed.
stfu please
I think its good.
Nobody wants to see this title or any title in the future decided by a lapper.
If that would have been 338, he would have been executed on the spot.
Its convenient to apply vague rules at your own discretion.
I care about the suspension being for an additional for the minimal contact.
This is a case where the punishment doesn't fit the crime.
Everyone has their opinion on it, that's mine. If he wanted to punt Reed, he wouldn't have gotten on the binders so hard. I see that people are saying that was an odd line choice going in the turn, well I say Reeds was an odd line choice going in the turn with Bubba. Both worked and I have nothing against either riders actions.
I don't agree with the penalty in the corner everyone is throwing fit about. He should of been fined for hopping in between james and chad in the section before forcing chad wide. The actual contact in the next corner after looked accidental (he was riding on his front tire) and actually cost chad less time then the corner before.
I guess if they really want to make sure this doesn't happen again they'll find a way to make a ruling that will punish not only the rider executing the tactic, but the rider he was helping at the same time. Sure it opens up a can of worms, but if Stewart risked a DQ if any team tactics were played out, you can bet they wouldn't even let the thought cross their mind.
Of course that isn't fair either. It's just a really shitty situation all the way around.

The "FIM" has balls.
It shows.
They seem to roll strong, & act 1st
rather than later.
The "AMA" is my beef.
No balls.
They roll in every direction,
& act if even at all later & always
questionable.
Been that way for yrs. & yrs.
Again, "Nascar", "No BS allowed".
Huge balls.
Acts quickly, & deep penalties are seen.
Making the same mistakes there isn't common.
Here, it's comical at times.
Over & over, & handled different every time.
That's the problem.
And your correct, infractions happen each & every week.
It's how you handle it all that matters.
That's very fixable!

If that was true, you can give out a bunch of penalties throughout the year dude.
I was on the floor in N.O. and there were quite a few that ignored the blue flag completely.
And quite honestly, maybe they should set some type of written penalty for breaking a rule, such as; "if you do this ________, your penalty is this ________" Instead of leaving it (penalty) so wide open for interpretation by some influenced officials.
And with that... I've now let it go. Ha.
That's why they don't have an explicit "If you do this, your penalty is this". It's a judgment call. It's racing. Rarely are these issues going to be black and white.
Had the riders he was competing with for the privateer award been right with him on the track, racing for position, nobody would say anything if he held up the leaders for a moment or a corner or two because he himself was trying to race someone. That sort of thing happens commonly.
