Absolutely ridiculous decision to restart. Also, where the fuck was a stretcher for McAdoo, what good is basically dragging him stood up off the track doing? 

It did not surprise me at all. The medic crew is reckless and has always been reckless.

I've never said this before but does someone need to step in and tell Macadoo to quit before he does damage he can't walk away from?

That is a ridiculous rule. If a race gets red flagged this late, the result from the last complete lap should stand.

I thought the rule was if over 80% of the race is done when the red flag comes out race is over? Maybe it’s just for the nationals.

You’re telling me you can’t shut down whoop section for one more fucking lap? This screams “add excitement” to a boring race. No way there should be any other winner of that race than max Anstie.

If Anstie loses this races, it's total bullshit 

No kidding!  7 seconds left, what a joke...

They said anything about it? Not looking good otherwise.

The medical crew nail it again. Heavily concussed, barely able to stand. Potential spinal injury. Lets get him to walk off on those wobbly legs.

I agree. It should just be  :

Less than three laps in: full restart

Less than three laps left: call it

Anything in between: stagger

Just call it wtf

With all the uncertainty of Supercross, you can always count on the AMA doing some dumb ass shit like red flagging a race with 7 seconds on the clock….

It’s crazy some of you expect these guys to come back from gnarly injuries and for them to be the same pace as the guys who’ve been racing the whole time. Forkner had a big crash and brain surgery.  I’m just glad to see the dude put laps in.

Forkner came back from gnarly shit to winning speed immediately every year, that's probably why people thought this way. Based on his injury list it's a surprise he's still even out there.

If he gets a top 10 and finishes healthy I think that’s a win for him in my book. Just want him to have a healthy season.

Does Alpinestars medical have something against putting riders on back boards or something?

If you’re going to red flag it, why make Cameron walk to the medics. Pick his ass up.

The commentary is nearly all off-track discussion. Almost no coverage of the events on track. It’s almost as if the race is a back drop for racing chat.

Totally true.  Might as well listen to last weeks pulp show during the race.   Useless.

Said he’s 90% over the flu but didn’t ride at all this week. Doesn’t look like he’s got the speed of last year though!

Macadoo should've stole pierce browns bike and put some green plastic on it.

Red Cross flag the whoops and the corner, let the race finish.

And I’m willing to bet Macadoo wanted to walk off himself, it’s an ego thing I’m sure

The heart is admirable but it's going to kill him or hurt someone else bad. It's every damn year

Seriously, imaging if RJ wins now. I'd be so pissed if I was Max.
