Ok how did they red flag a race with 8 seconds on the clock during SX but have no issue with sexton laying on the track for 10 minutes?

Probably because of the split lane.  They could safely route the bikes away from him.

Their certainly have been exceptions, but no replays or conversations usually isn’t a good sign.

ok good point yeah. But still, surprised they didnt red flag the race

Who's stepping in?

they dont care at all? wtf

Do you think it’s more likely that they don’t care, or maybe they just don’t have an update to give?

The red flags come out if a rider needs medical assistance and the medics can’t safely get and tend to the rider.

They won’t show a replay of Sexton until they know he is relatively ok and the amount of time he was down says he isn’t probably doing well. Fingers crossed for him.

So are we down to Tomac, Justin Cooper, and RJ for MXDN? Let RJ and Coop arm wrestle to see who rides a 250 or 450...

I hope Sexton is ok but that did not look good with him being down so long.

At this point, Deegan may never ride MXON. 

Does he get paid to race MXoN?

I can’t be the only one who was hoping they’d throw the red flag while Jett was 3rd? 
Hope Sexton is okay, that was a very fast section.

That interview really reveals Jett's psyche -- he wanted Hunter to win.

Is Jett referring to Chase “thinking about other things right now.” ?

As a fan, I don't like this family talk. I want the race to have integrity as opposed to the results not reflecting the full effort of each rider.

 If competitors are not trying their hardest, it defeats the purpose of a professional race.
