In the lites main event from Vegas on the final lap there is a tuff block thrown onto the track right in front of Pourcel.

What caught my attention was the running track marshall, who later pulled it off the track again.

Speed didn't replay anything, but was it knocked on the track by another rider or did something else happen ... ?

Thanks for the fast replies!

Already thought it wouldn't go unnoticed if someone intentionally threw it on there.

Thanks for the insight, I was wondering how it got out there also, I am such a glass is half full kind of guy(insert sarcasm thingy here). I figured the track marshall slipped and knocked it out, I know how I am on uneven ground.

It was Chisolm, he saw the #1 Suzuki and thought it was Reed but he was a race early. Haha.

I noticed that too, it looked almost like the track worker kicked it, but if you watch it again he was trying to stop it from going on the track from the wind.

Maybe RV went by so fast the wind blew the tuff block onto the track.

i know at some stage in the night, a rider railed the sand corner, and sent a tuff block across onto the landing of the triple-double / double-triple section

was that the pourcel incident?
