So you guys want the flagger waiving two flags.  Red Cross is visible as it could be but Jett not paying attention.  If he doesn’t get docked then the AMA will once again be showing favorites.  There are many incidents where a rider didn’t see the Red Cross and got penalized.  Jett let his attention wonder.  It should cost him….even though it will screw my fantasy picks.

Perfect storm. Super tight corner and on the finish line. Jett wasn’t the only one to miss it. Most of the front runners besides Hunter and Tomac.

Pretty sure this stadium has the spider cam but they keep trying to sell us this shitty drone footage like we're so lucky to be able to watch it. It's terrible use the spider cam or floor cams.

In his interview, Jett stated he never even looked. It's on him. No getting away from it

Isn’t the sensor under the face of the jump that counts for position prior to the lip? It’s like midway face of the jump. If so, jet passed the sensor line for finishing position prior to passing the flag at the lip of the jump. So technically the flag was waived AFTER he was scored for finishing the race. They count that sensor line for positions, gonna be interesting to see how this plays out

What clown show. So you waive the checkers and not the Red Cross? 
 

Jett will be docked a position but the flagger needs to do better. Added note, if it’s truly a Red Cross, fuck the checker flag. Just waive the Red Cross flag.

Doesn't matter. In the slow mo you can see the 18 never even looked towards the flag stand until he was on the face of the jump. He was fixated on the rut he was in

I agree, that's what the mic picked up him saying when the team was talking to him though.

But if it occurs after the finish line can he be docked? And it wasnt being waved. He probably thought it was checkered flag at first.

 

Be interesting to see what happens. Drop him to third and Eli can cruise home for the win in third race.

But he saw it.

If anyone needs a penalty it’s the AMA flagging crew

Would have really liked to see what Jett did to drop Eli, but glad we got the deep deep dive on Cooper's tip over.

Seriously man. Ive been defending the broadcast and announcers, but this is getting ridiculous.  The entire industry has been waiting for this battle fir a year, but these guys want to show us Justin Cooper dropping anchor. I mean what the hell man? How out of touch do you have to be, to make thatvcall. This is just incompetence 

How is that the announcers fault?

Ok so if not waved then the Red Cross needs to be further out from behind the checkered in that situation.

Adams looks so physically strong for his age, that hair color does well in this sport.

He definitely saw it - when he landed he knew he was hosed. 

Exactly. People are making excuses for Jett that he’s not even making. He saw the flag, he acknowledged it on the track & on the podium during his interview.

Regardless of waiving or not, he saw it. Eli saw it & didn’t jump. That rule is always strictly enforced because it has to do w/ rider safety. 
 

Dock him, he shouldn’t get special treatment. He’s a rider like everybody else.

I’m not sure why people keep using the race was over as an excuse, Red Cross is for rider safety, you don’t get to pick and chose when you follow the rules

I hope Eli proves me wrong, the series needs 3 vs 18 desperately.

You gotta love the rationale of some people.

Rules are rules.

....yet we all know the AMA is going to break their own rules.

 

Jett deserves a penalty....I seriously doubt they're going to give one to him.

Idk how to feel about that one. Tomac saw it, but it looked unnecessary and definitely a weak attempt to make it noticeable in a tight corner.

He was 4 seconds behind.
