Is this a race thread or a complaint thread?

It’ll be reviewed and since they didn’t make any passes, it would just be a points penalty. Wouldn’t affect their finishing positions.

how many times has Shimoda crashed while trying to force a pass in SX, i swear almost every heat race you see him picking up a bike after getting over eager trying to pass. See nashville sx 2023, as well as Anaheim 2022 when he broke his leg trying to pass Marchbanks. He needs to calm down.

I remember a few years back when he was in title contention outdoors and at redbud he tried to force a pass on the inside and hit one of those big round haybales with his hand and broke his hand. Ended the season.

Nice ride by Austin Forkner.  Would be cool to see him make the podium in moto 2.

Tomac bad line choices right out of the gate and Jett’s gone. Do they not practice their lines?

Sexton wanted to make sure the leaders got away before he started charging 😏

Flagging at the landing of a jump is not adequate, there should not be penalties for that and these flaggers once again need a retraining.

I think Jett has tons left in his power bank if needed.

Ken’s bike looks so high in the back and it looks like he’s struggling for front wheel traction

Jett’s content just to leave Tomac right there “Follow if you want. I don’t care.”

If that were true then he could be turning 55 second laps.
