Man the young guys are going to make this a lot of fun the next few years. You got Deegan already making himself a contender, Beaumer having a great rookie season, and Adams coming through I would assume next year?

They said he is turning 16 soon on the broadcast, I hope he makes the jump because he is strong enough to do it.

Rules states if he gained an advantage.. Jett didn’t gain an advantage.

Everyone at PC has improved on last year.

Hiring the Honda engine guy has been a good "steal". It is probably not the only thing that went their way this off season but it is one of the little pieces of the puzzle.

So Eli needs only to finish third and the win is his no matter where anyone else finishes. He has definitely ridden well enough to do that.

Any rider who took the inside line through that corner had very little chance at seeing it until it was too late. Its directly behind a waving flag from that perspective.
 

But atleast they docked everyone. AMA need to take responsibility for the danger caused though. 

I’m trying to watch/listen while cooking. Was that official?

It wasn’t behind a waving checkered flag. The red cross flag was sticking out into the track, and the waving checkered was behind it as in further off the track and not actually behind it. Both flags were clearly visible if they looked. They all just assumed it was checkered only. That’s on them.

Rule states if he gained an advantage, he’d lose the positions he gained and docked an additional 2 positons. The rule for not gaining an advantage but still breaking the Red Cross rule is 2 positions.

What I figured. I’m glad they stuck to the rules but obviously shit placement if you have four champions miss what should be a very important and obvious flag.

Im curious, do yall think Jo will go back to PC, I think he signed the hrc contract before the were able to figure the bike out last year, but imo PC is the place you want to be, the bike is clearly a lot more powerful

Rules are rules you cannot give anyone a pass for jumping a Red Cross.

The flaggers needs to be seriously looked at after that, if that was a life or death situation at least run down face of the jump or go to the last corner, they must do a better job warning the riders, that was seriously pathetic.

There was no care or urgency by that flagger, just static.

I doubt Eli would  feel good winning that way .

Knowing Anderson he probably flipped the flagger off.

Do we know why he got docked 4 instead of 2? I must have missed something during the race.

In one thread I’m called a rabid Jett nutt-hugging fan and in another I’m wrong for saying Jett should be penalized for breaking a rule. Gotta love this place! Grinning

Does this kid has family at Yamaha? Because honestly how is it possible that a 20 year old is still supported and not by john do motorshop but by Star Racing never the less! Do they pay for the ride? Same with Reven Gordon (Team Green) also 20y old. In the MXGP MX2 class the time is ticking by then...

Nice race again from 16-year old Cole Davies from New-Zealand. Hopefully the KTM Group handles already because otherwise someone else will. Would love to see another Kiwi at Pro Circuit to be honest! Drew Adam (15y) nice win from the Team Green rider and Lando Gibson also 15 year old nice second place! A podium where the oldest rider is 16y old! Nice to see that kind of SX Future races!

At this point he’s going to be a career futures rider. I believe this is his 4th season running it.

Is this the second time this season he's been caught jumping on red?

Agree

This has to be looked at by all riders and ....Ugh,  AMA to look at this in the eyes of the rider.

Don't build a big jump finish at the Checkered flag that will cause this type of scenario
