What's going on in the AMA booth? Does the black flag even exist for any reason?

Yup, AMA has an opportunity to DQ him without materially affecting the championship results. That was ridiculous. I'm hoping he lost a lot of fans tonight.

Because this is what the powers that be want. They want the playoffs to be an insane takeout fest. With how the points system is and the money on the line, This will keep happening.

Absolutely should have gotten black flagged...and now let's see what they do about dangerous riding, etc.

What a little pussy. True colours showed through very clearly tonight.

Not that anyone cares at all but this whole debacle "gave me the ick". I used to think the AMA was a prestigious sanctioning body like the olympics. They are just another lame entertainment organization. Mike Pellitier should be disgusted with himself.

That's what I was wondering, but wasn't going back to watch it.

It was a long lap, and my recollection is that all the shenanigans were within 1 lap.

Not sure though.

The AMA no longer determines the rules, the greedy pos promters do.

6 month suspension minimum and an anger management course completed before his return.

I doubt they want a takeout fest, otherwise we wouldn’t see penalties. I think they want more than one guy to be in the battle for the title in the last round. Instead of having a guy cruising in 4th and locking up the title.

I'd love to hear the reason they say on their hands

I don't disagree with some kind of suspension, but that wasn't out of anger. It was a strategically intentional amateur-hour shit-show.

Not sure how this could get downvotes but it's Vital. Sure do miss seeing you on the line @ VC back when Brandon raced. You've probably seen more racing (and incidents) x 100 than most people. Hope all is well.
