No, SMX uses olympic scoring, so the better second moto is all that matters, there is no extra point for getting first in moto 1 as is the case in motocross.

So in this case, both 1-3 and 2-2 add up to 4, but 2-2 has better second moto and thus finishes higher than 1-3.

Are u sure? Is moto wins only the tie breaker for the SMX championship then and better 2nd moto just for the overall?

That would be awful though, a moto win should definitely be the overall tie breaker aswell imo if the score is the same

Nice to see he doesn’t have shit to say about taking Ryder D’s head off. Man it’s hard to like him.

Yea…that was a very high risk attempt even without Ryder loosing the back end a little.  I still think he hits him…just not in the head.  …but you are right….not one cell in his body gave a crap about Ryder.

How many fans are around the podium during a regular 250 SX?

So….zero doubt Deegan tries to get behind Jo at some point, even letting him by, and put him down.  He’ll try to do it in a way that makes it hard for the AMA to take it away without an outcry.

imo most likley scenario is Deegan tries to cut Jo off the start next moto by lining up next to him. Causing Jo to be buried, allowing the likes of Levi, Vialle, Hammaker to pull away resulting in Deegan winning as it's very hard to make up time in this track (so the class Jo Shimoda charge through the pack is not possible.

It's honestly such a shame this track is so hard to make up time on. Kind of a let down for what's supposed to be the most important race of the SMX series. Charlotte was sketchy, but actually allowed the faster guys like Deegan and Jo to work through the pack.

Even if Jo is 2nd he wins the “Championship“ correct?

Confirmed Jo only needs 2nd overall to win the title. Doesn’t matter what Haiden does.

Did anyone else see Joe cutting the track? Right at the 2:00 min mark. That should be a 3x penalty.

You two are morons, first of all he’s probably got a lot going on in his mind he isnt considering the racing incident that happened, sure it would’ve been a nice gesture but stop acting like he was at fault. Secondly, if Ryder didnt lose the back end he’s several feet ahead and that never happens. A super unfortunate racing incident no reason to EXPECT Deegan to have that on his mind.

He is thinking on the championship, not the time now as I'm sure he was briefed Ryder walked away.

I see they’ve blocked off the corner where Deegan was cutting the track.
