The wierd thing is why a pass should be okay in the last race and not all other races through the season..
It’s like people here think that they should throw away the rulebook and go by prison rules the last race just because ”it’s for the title”, i really don’t get it, and thankfully neither do the title contenders now days.
but go watch any 04-08 race, Chad Ricky and James were doing that to each other over an individual race win, they just didn’t want to come second.
Osborne’s pass on savatgy was brutal.. but it’s for a damn title..
At the same time, I can't recall too much that was intentionally way beyond a respectable sporting effort or egregiously dirty... Thought that may be my crapped out memory, I've hit my head a LOT as I'm sure you can tell 😂

But, really, isn't it soft to not use any means necessary to win a title? Kill someone yourself or pay a hit man... you like the first, but hate the second?
There's figure-eight and demo derby for those who want smash-'em-up sports. SX is going to remain the Hockey of motorsports unless it adopts cleaner racing and broadens its appeal to a more civilized crowd.
Last week was hilarious, as all of NASCAR fandom, the same ones who constantly decry the demise of the Alpha male and the wussification of America were shocked, horrified, and outraged when the black guy acted like so many of their favorite drivers did back when men were men and flags in the infield were Confederate.

I get so tired of hearing people act like racing isn't fun or interesting unless there's a cleanout occurring every 2 minutes. If you truly don't get your kicks from watching straight-up racing decided by skill and fitness, then I believe moto is not the sport for you and WWE might be more up your alley.
I am not saying aggression isn't a vital part of the sport. But I don't have much respect for riders who have built a reputation off of committing borderline dangerous moves on riders who are almost always faster than them.
When your skill and speed don’t cut it to win any more i have a hard time to see it as a strenght to clean a rider out to gain a position.
It’s called racing, and then i expect the riders to race, and if you lack the speed, go home and practice. Don’t turn racing in to something else.
Tonya Harding is VFs style, not James or Ricky. Pay someone else to do your dirty work..

But the favourite rider was Bradshaw .
Easy answer in my opinion, Stew and RC were faster more days than Reed was faster than them, however there were weeks, seasons, when he was right there and on the odd occasion he was better.
But saying Reed was not even close to their level is ridiculous.
To me, yeah it's not an apples to apples comparison, but the RC/JS/CR times were kind of a this season Tomac and Sexton deal, with them out front with Roczen and Anderson having the pace on their good day but either having raceday struggles or just something being a little off. They didn't quite get it together but were still legit fast dudes when things lined up for them.
I am not saying the AMA needs to ban him, but I do think something needs to be done. Also for the record, my problem isn't with the move itself. I loved the Osborne / Savatgy incident and anything similar within reason (no crossjumping etc.) when it's for the title. My problem is with the 2k offer to Harlan. Real title contenders don't do that shit.
