What a load of bullshit. All he needs to do is not wave him by last time and pretend he has a bike problem

Conspiracy theory, Jett,s long lost uncle puts a $1 million bet down that Jett would go 1-2 on the night.

Hmmm, thats why that rule is in place.

Then he should've done that and not gone on the podium afterwards saying he gave him the win as a gift. Remember, this didn't benefit anyone (including Jett) and only made the integrity of the sport look bad. To let him off without at least a warning when there's a clear rule against doing what he did would be seen as favoritism. You can skirt the rule through optics, just don't make it obvious and then brag about it on the podium.

I understand the point of the warning and I am still chuckling over Jetts's "big brain" podium statement lol.

I think he made a simple mistake.  Although it was intentional, I'm going to assume he didn't fully know or understand the rule.

This should open everyone's eyes...  Doubt we'll see that again.

What does a sportsbook do with a situation like this? 

Not sure about a sports book but an insurance company would launch an investigation

Well...I had forgotten completely about this rule.  

To be honest...even though I hang off Jetts sack like a buncha over ripe grapes...this shoulda been a penalty...not a warning.

Make a rule and enforce it.  I don't care how big or popular you are.  This type of thing is why the AMA has ALWAYS been considered the way it has.

Like others have said...he could a gamed the system by claiming bike problems (still uncool but whatever) but he STRAIGHT up said he let KRoc bye.

Exactly. All of this plus it robbed the fans of a good race. Kenny said on pulp in his 15 years of racing he had never seen anybody do that, and for good reason lol, it was pointless. Just ride your friggin race.

Rams kicked a meaningless field goal at the end of the game, changed the betting point spread, some bookies lost a lot, Vegas was not happy.

My thought is if you cant afford to lose, dont bet.

You all would know I'm a big fan as well...hopefully not too ravenous, but as a fan I know I don't watch races to see a favorite rider give a win away.

Oh and I agree with your points as well...I still don't think Jett did anything malicious either, I just think he isn't really the sharpest tool in the shed...and I don't mean that in a derogatory manner, he is obviously intelligent but some of the things he does I think he does them before he thinks about the outcome...and I mean this mostly with some of the things that have rubbed people up the wrong way over the years.

I'm not sure that part is ever going to change, but I get the feeling he is getting a bit of coaching behind the scenes on how to behave himself Wink

Probably appropriate.  I’d imagine the AMA officials had a good discussion to determine if there was any intent other than the obvious.

This is just me but I used to be a rabid football fan.  Then I started to believe that Vegas was determining game outcomes.  The news quickly buried reports of officials, coaches, players on the take, soured the sport for me.

I don't believe this is that type of situation but the rule was written for this EXACT situation.  

Jett needs to realize real quick...fastest don't make you smartest.

The Joey rule. I'm surprised that his wave that led to Eli winning $1M wasn't looked into. Maybe that's why Eli stiffed him. Had he given him a cut maybe they'd both be on the hook for rigging a race for profit or some shit. Grinning

I agree with the big brain thing being a nice meme, but people making fun of a guy fucking up math in a professional SX race while leading when some vitards still can't figure out how the olympic scoring works is kind of ironic.

And yeah, as people already, the podium speech is what made it worse. Would have been half as bad if he said something like "Yeah Kenny was faster and I didn't want to risk going down in a battle, so I settled for second."

Justin Barcia can no longer be penalized for taking other riders out, he was giving his utmost effort and competing to the best of his capability!

Lol @ the vitards that got caught on the wrong side of the fence on this one. In reality nothing changed. He was getting passed anyway so he did it the Jettson Way.
