I hope he calms the fek down and just rides how he can and he will have the title.
The week off is when NWey should get a hold of him and get him settled, relaxed as I’m sure DV will be working on Dylan

l. Failure to re-enter the track at a point as close as practical to the point at which the rider left the track or slow down after leaving the course, and in so doing gaining an advantage.
AC Enters at the closet practical point and he surely slowed down as he was next to Alex Martin when he went off track and was next to the rider who was behind him when he came back on track, Joey Crown. He didn't gain an advantage as he lost time. It could be debated that he didn't slow down enough but the rule doesn't give a specific speed to slow down to. He lost time. Translation: Slowed down. When the rule is written in a manner that leaves it up to the discretion of an individual then we're going to have inconstancy of when and to who gets a penalty.
They been sitting on him since Lakewood. Colorado incident took hours to come to a decision, but this one was decided in a matter of minutes?
As a fan this is one hell of a good story line and has proved hours of entertainment.
I do believe there should've been some sort of penalty but just for the way he came back on the track.. Like he said if he had've slowed down too much (off track) he would've been back in a much more dangerous situation with more riders in the pack!
And no I don't believe going a little off track is a mistake that should be THAT costly to the rider..
Ask Joey Savatgy if he ever thinks about getting docked points for going off track.
At Lakewood AC waited for next rider to come by and then REJOINED the track.
Now remember about the race. At this exact moment he knew he had to let Cooper get a gap as that was how it was before his wee detour.
This week he never waited for next rider to pass so he could enter safely. Now you might say he only waited at Lakewood as it was Cooper but then why did he then wait to let him get a gap? Remember riders make these decisions in a fraction of a second.
FWIW I do believe he is (wrongly) under the microscope BUT hope the Star team are mindful as well for the last few races.
Pit Row
Go watch the video again or the gopro (you can see JCrown get level with him at one point)from AC. If he had let Joey go past and gave himself another fraction of a second to compose himself it would not have mattered.
It doesn’t matter what bike sounds like, it’s all about the position
As I mentioned earlier. Make the rule that the have to stop at the edge of the track for 5 seconds and then enter when clear and safe. That way there is a penalty to be paid for leaving the track. As there should be.
For two, Joey going inside has just as much bearing on this incident as AC not coming to a stop and letting the entire field by, like many of you expected him to do.
If it's a practice day, AC probably would've rode around the inside of the banners on the grass until he was at the exit of the turn and then gotten back onto the track on the straight when it was clear. Remember, grass can be quite slippery.
If it's a practice day and AC did exactly what he did during the race and I was in Joey's position, I would stay to the outside line, like Nichols does and there would be no issue.
If it's a practice day and for some reason I feel the need to shut the door on AC trying to get back onto the track and we get close and I jump out of my line because I know he's coming, then I'd probably just keep on riding as I knew what was in store and I took that risk.
Joey knew AC was coming. There's no way Joey was committed to that line and jumps ship as well as he did.
If it's a race and AC did exactly what he did during the race and I was in Joey's position, I would stay to the outside line like Nichols does and there would be no issue. There's no way I go inside knowing AC is off track and looking to get back on.
Maybe they implement a penalty flag where you have to pull off into a penalty lane and come to a stop and then go? They can put in next to the goggle lane.
