He can't run a tube. They all run mousses in rear. Tube in front.

If he runs a rear tube in a national, i would take him off nations-team immediately 😄

Jett penalty makes sense from rules standpoint. I think most guys barely jump so gate is falling as they hit it, get hung up, back up, go, no problem....... Jett went so early and kept pushing so gate went forward and he went. Would have been better off if he got hung up but if you don't penalize what he did you could just guess and bust through and take the holeshot. I think ruling it this way is only way you actually take the discretion out of it and just have a consistent rule. 

And why is tomac on Twitter between motos? 

After reading the explanations here eg; gate going forward vs backward makes the penalty makes sense to me. 

Just saw the Tomac tweet!  Lmao

I would say Kitchen has been the biggest disappointment this season. I really expected more out of him. Guess that just shows how deep this class...

Kitchen has been underwhelming for sure but I think Masterpool has been a bigger ‘disappointment’. How many races has he even lined up for? And the ones he did left a lot to be desired.

Seems cut and dry for Jett’s penalty. Even if he didn’t mean too

AMA is actually such a joke. They're always so petty, and look for any reason to drop these unnecessary penalties. He literally started in 23rd, and was not even ahead of the field. At most he was 1 centimeter ahead for 1 millisecond, before being quickly swallowed up.

I'm guessing the mechanism to keep them from going forward doesn't engage until the gate is actually dropped? His gate was all the way forward before the gate dropped. Not sure how anyone argues that isn't worthy of a penalty and the penalty itself is not up to discretion based on the rule. Wouldn't even waste time appealing this one.

For as many times as hunter has given his brother the easy pass, seems like today would be the day to return the favor and give hunter shot at overall.

1 centimeter for 1 millisecond? You must be a genius!
