Dylan made a mistake, said he was sorry, and was disappointed he won that way. NBD.

That’s always been Supercross. The only bad part was the hug and handshake. Settle it on the track.

Hill took it well, imagine this happening to guys like Anderson lol.
But Ferrandis later did genuinely aplogise and state it wasn't his intention for such a hard move, rather it being a result of him overshoothing the triple into the corner.

Think they'll both be fine. Maybe some Sparks tomorrow though. Be a different story if that happened in the SX series here I think , where points matter. These are just warm up races where these guys can make some extra coin.

Looked bad at first, but the replay made it look much different. Ferrandis definitely came in hot, but he was at least turned before there was any big contact.

True but think of it this way if he got hurt this is a meaningless unlike the series

Yup, i agree, nothing wrong with that move. Hill got spooked hence him going off the track.

Good on DF for apologizing. Hill and his guys will look at the footage and can only deduct that it was a solid pass without any attention of aggressiveness. Absolutely within the rules of racing.

Here's the twist, had it been Hill running in and DF going off the track...the frenchies in the stands would have eaten Hill for dinner...

Not entirely meaningless Rob, the seat time in racing conditions, gathering of data, the start money, prize money and vacation can be refreshing for these guys - all positives.

Let me use Mookie for example, he missed a bunch of racing and races like this allow for him to get seat time under racing conditions. These ad-hoc races are beneficial for him and the team, plus he will have the extra $$$ for a fat Christmas turkey.

For the most these races are beneficial for different reasons.

For established front runners like Roczen, Tomac and those guys...meaningless...probably yes.

Ferrandis OJ'd the triple out and the suspension rebounded, making it nearly impossible to slow down as quickly as he intended. I wouldn't say it was poor judgement, it was just a mistake.

I was going to say the same thing, he overjumped just a little and it looked like he tried as hard as he could go get it turned at the last second.

No harm no foul, looks like they talked it out and all is well.

No such thing as a meaningless race.

I’m just glad to see Hill up front of a race. This is promising the dude is awesome. And yes I’d be worried if it was Hill doing that to Die-Lon the bleachers would
Empty into the pits. It would be not good for Hill

you really think he accidentally oj'd that triple? please, that whole pass was planned out way ahead... obviously. maybe the takeout wasn't, but the rest was.
hill owes him one, apology or not...

Always cracks me up how people’s reactions to stuff like this changes depending on the riders involved.

Hill should have known he was coming, fair enough pass on a tight track, you need to be aware of whos can come up the inside,

Hate to ask, but is Ferrandis on a 450 ? I know the white plate is for the big bike's, just don't know the rules over there. I would vote Mistake if that was an option, and he looks to be genuinely apologetic.

I've seen much much worse, but when someone goes flying off the track, it's a bit much. It wasn't dangerous though.

If you were aiming to win the 'dumbest post of the night ' award , i reckon you nailed it.


What do you want them to do, build jumps on the start straight in the 15 seconds they have before they come back up it.?

The outrage when someone goes down from a Block pass in Sx is almost always puzzling.

Reminds me of the Musquin/Tomac incident, but Ferrandis handled it way better with words after.

More aggressive than I expected here. Most of the guys are in a mode where they want to get some racing and testing in, but they also want to go home safe and start getting ready for the next season.

On one hand, Justin did leave about enough room on the inside to drive a Mack truck through. But DV's reaction kind of said it all. Smile

This.
That's what Dylan said as well.

Looked like a racing incident to me. Nothing malicious or intentional.

Dylan might not be comfy on the bigger bike yet, and its power delivery. He definitely looked like he OJ’d the jump a little, and came into that corner way too hot. I’ve seen a lot worse.

Good, clean, very hard racing. He obviously was coming in way hot after that triple but also
was very clearly on the brakes, turning hard and trying not to clean Hill out. Hill, after all, left a Savatgy-size hole there. Solid display of sportsmanship, as well. No problemo.
