So Hampshire can take out 2 guys tonight, and it’s perfectly fine. No boo’s from the crowd. Very dirty moves from this guy. Not a fan at all. But if ferrandis did it it would be a crime. Just makes me like Dylan more and more. I know it’s just racing, but what’s right is right.

This one was pretty stupid.



The one with Smith, he barely even touched him.

Have to agree. Not a Ferrandis fan at all and I hated that move on Craig, but the crowd should be treating Hampshire equally if dirty riding is what they're upset about. In reality, they just hate the French guy

Different impacts.
Different scenarios.
and way different outcomes.

The hits we saw tonight , were not even the same level as what Dylan did to Christian. Seriously!!?? BUT.....Even though I thought Dylan's move was a shit head head / bad judgement call , I'm still a fan of his. Actually dig the hell out of Dylan's intensity , but I thought that move crossed the line. I think it was more of a mistake than anything else , but to compare that to what we saw tonight? Haha , not even in the same universe.

Look at the first “take out”. Looks like RJ couldn’t stop as fast as he wanted. All you guys ever do is love Fernandez on here so don’t play the pitty card.

Hampshire's move on Sexton was BS, same as Ferrandis' on Craig. I'm all for good racing, block passes, and elbow rubbing, but that was a straight takeout.

No issue with either RJ pass. It looks like it was a combination of 2 things. RJ cased and bounced off the finish line so couldnt stop. Sexton turned down earlier than he expected.

to me it was a version of this at the end

To be honest I wasn't pleased with Tomac his action in the last main of the day, taking all real estate away before the triple. If he takes away Roczen' front wheel you've a disastrous crash. Also gaining time under yellow and attacking after yellow so that Anderson was taken by surprise.

Also Jordan Smith his action was mind blowing in a bad way. Jumping on top of Jace Owen, who didn't started the next race after that accident.

Who didn't see this double-standard coming? What Hampshire did was way worse than Ferrandis on Craig

....BUT....this is racing and I'm all for it.

wtf are you guys talking about? Those passes are fine and racing passes. I think you guys are in the wrong sport.

And comparing Dylan's high-speed circus show was a lot different of incidences.

I'm actually kind of shocked that you guys are saying the pass on Chase was that bad. I'm usually quick to call out a bad pass, but what I saw from RJ on Chase looked like an agressive block pass, nothing dirty about it.

Now, if he would've t-boned him and/or went in so hard that he also took himself out, then you guys would be right. But I'm just really confused by the outrage on this one...

At first glance, I thought the RJ pass was BS and unnecessary. But upon watching it again a few more times in slow mo, he cased the finish line jump just a little because he scrubbed a little too hard, came up short and bounced on the downside of the jump. And while in the air, he fully committed to the inside line and taking it away from Chase. Then Chase left the door open. RJ didn't have good braking on the downside due to casing the jump and came in a little hotter than expected. It was an aggressive move for sure, but after watching it again slowly, it really wasn't that bad. Chase still took home the top spot of the podium on the night. So no big deal in the end.

Race issue, non-issue.

In my opinion Dylan's move on Craig was much worse than both of Hampshire's (That's without really looking at any of them closely, I could be convinced otherwise). That being said I had no issue with any of Dylan's move and never agreed with the booing.

Are you serious?

Ferrandis, Craig incident was high speed, one rider hard on the gas and unexpected hit.

Hampshire on Sexton, was slow speed, both riders on the brakes and Sexton clearly knew Hampshire was there and it was a spot on the track that type of move (with less or no contact) was happening all night.

Certainly not a clean pass by Hampshire, and hit put Sexton down, but pretty Softley. Craig had not chance to come back and win from his position, Sexton did win!

Tools cant boo because Hampshire is not from France.

It wasn't really bad. First one on sexton, he came a bit short on the landing and could not break as much as he wanted. Sexton left the door opened, could have taken the next line. Racing incident. The second time, i don't even know how Smith crashed, 95% on Smith this one.

I don’t have a problem with the pass. I think he could have made that pass clean if he wanted though, but I think he wanted to bump him. He kind of bounces off finish landing and when he sliding it into the corner, at the last second, he corrects the front wheel to slide it a hair further to bump chase. Dont know if he wanted to put him down, but I think he wanted to make contact.

RJ knows he couldnt pull away from Sexton so bump him, and see if he can get in his head..?

Tomac has changed thats for sure , that pass on Roczen and the way he took away his line just before jump was nasty and good have ended real bad , if Musquin would have done same we know the outcome :-(

When you can’t run with them just take them out.

Do you have to roll through whoops on a yellow? Because Anderson didn’t. He was much slower though. Not sure if he slowed down or just a bad run through the whoops. That was fair game for Tomac.

I was pretty stoked to hear Tomac, Kenny and El Hombre say in the post race interviews how much they hate the TC format. I thought I was alone...

If it's any consolation to you guys, my 8yr old son thinks Hampshire is "A total jerk!"

I don't have a problem with either. It's supercross. It happens. Chase and Jordan can legitimately do it back.
