After that hit and seeing him struggle to move afterwards he obviously had a injury to his brain . I felt like I was watching a UFC fighter after getting tkoed. Seeing his post I think he is gonna race but I feel like someone shouldn’t allow him weather that’s the team or the series idk…

He just said on Pulp that he was fine and passed the tests they gave him Saturday night. He should race.

Macadoo podium’d 20 min after his crash in Atlanta. Chase will have had an entire week to recover by Sat.

“Chase what’s your number”.

“32”

“Okay close enough, right numbers, wrong order, just go left at the start and don’t land on kenny, you’re good to go”

There’s no way he’s fully recovered the tests are only so in depth why would u even want him to race ??? I want more reeds and braytons less RVs RDs in the sense of career length let him recovery for a little come back for Dayton .

If he passes protocol there is no reason he shouldn’t be able to race. At the end of the day these are grown men, if they are accepting of the consequences that come along with the way they chose to make a living then the blame for future issues falls squarely on their shoulders. We are all aware of the sometimes severe brain trauma that can affect us later in life after repeated head trauma and we all choose to ride anyway. Unfortunately this sport is beautiful and unforgiving at the same time, doesn’t change my desire to throw a leg over a bike and let it rip.

Concussions and unconsciousness are not mutually exclusive.

He had to have an IMPACT test to start the season. If he passes that, then he is fit to race. A doctor will determine that, not Vital.

With all the issues this year, we have learned this show is run by clowns. Sadly, I see him lining up and passing this so called “concussion protocol”.

He said he checked out fine with the Honda crew but the medical professionals first on the scene said he had a concussion.

What I witnessed after his wreck reminded me of countless boxing matches I've seen where someone gets knocked to their knees, can't stand up, yet continues to argue with the referee they are fine and should be allowed to continue to fight.

He's a professional and I trust him when he says he doesn't notice any symptoms. I think the choice to race should be up to him since he is the one risking his health. If my child showed those symptoms immediately after slamming his head off the dirt I would sit him out for a few months because it's not worth risking over a plastic trophy.

You can cheat on the impact test with a low baseline to make it easier to pass after injured. That said it's his choice to race right or wrong.

Reminds me of the scene in Varsity Blues when they asking Billy Bob how many fingers they are holding up, and they have to change it to the true or false if they are holding any fingers up.

Assuming the protocol is adequate, yes. Having said that, I don't know what AMA/Feld's protocol is. Even if I did, I'm not a doctor, so I'd have no idea if the protocol was sufficient to protect the riders from themselves and pressure from their teams and sponsors.

Yeah I can agree with pretty much all of this, it may be my mistake assuming the protocol is looking out for the best interest of the athlete instead of the best interest of the promotion. Thanks for pointing that out.

I’m not a doctor didn’t know I had to be one to be able to say his brain was rattled in that crash . He’s a adult and can make his own choices . My question is as fans why don’t we want him to rest so he could recover and prolong his career I want to see him racing 10 years from now still at a high level in 10 years no one will care If he missed 2-3 races when he was already out of a championship. Your logic is so snowflaky it’s like saying “are u a actor??? Then don’t tell me that was a bad movie”

He could kinda walk after he got up. Hell, he almost through a leg back over his bike, I'm sure he's fine.

As for racing after going down hard. What would Rex Staten do?

EDIT: Some of you youngsters might need to look that one up.

It’s his Dr’s decision to make, he’s the one doing the testing on Chase and is qualified to do so…you have zero info other than what you saw on TV and I’m guessing you are not a Dr and therefore not qualified to make a final determination on Chase’s health or condition…I’m amused by the number of armchair doctors on here that think they are qualified to make a medical determination on what’s best for riders…

The old carlsbad raceway used to have steel poles holding up actual chain link fence along the downhill.

Once saw Staten crash, take out two poles and the fencing.
Started the next moto.

"Well he passed the test" oh the test that's results are conducted in comparison with a baseline set by the same rider? lol. I am pretty sure there are NFL players who said they literally took the baseline test after drinking to ensure they would pass it in the future if need be.

John Bodnar is one of the best trauma doctors around, If Chase is not ready next Saturday you better believe he will not get clearance to race.
