Once Deegan does the second takeout move the black flag should’ve been thrown out. The probability of Shimoda being the one down with a broken collarbone was just as big as Deegan.
The lack of officiating made the sport look like a circus yet again.
.
I'm sure they were scrambling with the thought and it was on that lap. Deeeegs gifted them.
Posted the full sequence in one of the other threads, but the last takeout attempt in the bowl turn before they went down should have prompted the black flag. He tried some sketchy shit two or three times before that, but that one was egregious. No intention of making the corner, he knifed into Jo so hard that he ended up going backwards.
Should have been DQ'd even after he didn't finish

AMA needs to really step up here.
But they won't "there's nothing in the rules...blah blah...."
Bullshit.
You guys are dorks. I for one am tired of the AMA getting involved for every fucking block pass that happens. Im glad the AMA doesnt rule over MXGP. De Wolf would have been docked 85 points and banned from racing had they seen what he did in moto 2.
lol
5 points of no consequence. Wow so harsh AMA 🙄
Yep, total bullshit.
Haha that penalty is so weak that they might as well just not give a penalty at all😂
There’s no other motorsport where a racer could deliberately try to make an opponent crash without getting a ban. It’s one thing to be aggressive in the heat of the moment, but putting another rider down multiple times as your only goal in the race is uncalled for. This shit ain’t demolition derby.
Agreed. Something DOES need to be done about Kitchen's shenanigans.
Is the 5 points tripled to 15? Because 5 points for a dozen illegal takeout attempts is nothing.
I love rough racing and have no problem with some big block passes, but that was a joke. One or two times, sure, go for it.. but that swerving all over the track was not racing, that’s trying to wreck (and possibly) injure someone.
I don’t like the idea of black flags at all, but this deserved one, any time you are swerving across a track to endanger someone multiple times, you are putting others at risk.
I love watching Deegs race (usually) but karma is a bitch..
If AMA were concerned about riders saftey they should implement the same points system on the riders license as F1 uses.
When you get enough of them you have to sit one race out.
Things that should get ju a point on your license is things like riding dirty, jumping on Red Cross flag etc. I think you can get up to 3 points at one race during F1 and when you get 12 points you have to sit the next race out.
Those points will be there one year from when you get them so if you choose to do some shit in the last race it could still punish you when the next season starts.
A system like that should be keeping some of the hot headed racers in check.
Yogis got some explaining to do 🤨
What are you talking about?A lot of your US heros could learn something from Kay!Kay was racing forward,Deegs backward,and he didn‘t finish on the ground.
I believe thats what was said on the broadcast.
Pit Row
The AMA did everything they could just short of disqualifying Deegan to help Joe.
lol, yeah that’s what happened
Agree! I think if Deegan had gotten to the flag it would have been black. Would have saved Star Yamaha a lot of bad PR.
You Surron kids should have to take a test in order to make an account on here. I’ve never seen more retarded people in any sport then deegan fans
AMA acting like Deegan is their Ohtani.
Yeah........that penalty is fucking embarrassing and of no consequence whatsoever. Total goon riding. Could have easily injured Joe, and some people think that is okay? I mean, fuck me. Deegan doing what he did belongs on a Jackass video, not as part of a professional sport. A PROFESSIONAL SPORT.
Heard he went back to the truck and told Deegan how to do it the right way next time.
A 5 point penalty would indicate they had no intention of black flagging him. I just don’t get what they were thinking. That was some of the bitchiest riding I have ever seen.
Between deegan and dewolf this has been an embarrassing weekend for professional mx.
5 point penalty from the AMA? How pathetic.
Deegan should be suspended for a certain period from those actions, minimum 1 month. If someone pulled this crap ten years ago, they would never race again.
Does anyone have a good example of a black flag being thrown at a National race? I’ve never seen it happen in the pros. I have seen MANY people disqualified from NFL, NBA, Baseball games.
