Are you not at all concerned about what the rule book says should happen? Do you really want the standard for making these decisions to be "it feels right" ?

Light shouldn’t have been turned on. The fastest guy won the race. It’s unfortunate what happened, but that’s the way it goes sometimes.

Still no official posting of the penalty report and 250 results are still provisional…

I have had plenty of riders I am cheering on (Marv when he was done). But no matter the excuse I understand. They are the rules. I cringe for the rider. But if we all see it on TV (most the time), there simply is no excuse. 

I haven't seen the 450 one. Havent looked. Cant comment. I am going for Hunter. But I haven't seen it

The 250 one, What the actual F? The only excuse I can think the AMA is saying is Joe was allowed to jump the finish. Meaning he doesn't get the win. However, everyone still jumped the double. There is no world where there shouldn't be points deducted. I have never commented on an AMA decision. This is a joke. 

Australian Nationals few years ago, there was a do not jump flag that nobody could see. Literally the whole field got a penalty. AMA doesn't have the balls.

Fair enough. Look forward to the explanation. 

My guess is they couldn’t fairly apply penalties to ALL. Yes, Jo gets screwed in this deal.

That Monster logo looms large. It's all on video. This is such an easy call.

The only consistent thing with the AMA is the incredible amount of inconsistency. It’s insane to me that riders will get docked to positions for accelerating went off the track, or failing sound check after a race when anything can happen to a motorcycle, but jumping on a red light gets nothing from this weekend? In the past, they have taken positions and points away for guys jumping on a red cross when the flag clearly couldn’t have been seen by the rider, yet they were docked.

Is it on  the official site though? I'd say that's the only one that matters

Havent seen this character since the ”Deegan bike claim-gate… threatening the kid! Seems he is still around! 

I’M   J O K I N G !!!

Still… its a AMA shitshow overall, who controls the lights, who is experienced enough to handle the red cross flags…and who deals with the facts when the race is done…?

I am firmly on the side of penalties needing to be handed out. It doesn't matter that it was an operator error, Jo didn't know that and did what he was correctly told to do, which was slow down and not jump the doubles. He did not know it was an operator error and neither did Brown, or anyone else. Jumping on a red cross even if it's fake due to an operator error is reckless and dangerous, as if that was a real red cross and Brown jumped, he could've landed on somebody. Rules exist for a reason. When you see the lights or flag, you stop jumping, I don't get why the AMA thinks this is a touchy subject or something. Jo followed the rules and got punished for it.

Is there any evidence that the light was on when Brown or any of the other riders jumped? Or did the light go on and off before Brown or any other riders got there?

Bro it’s been shown 30 times. You’re either being obtuse or trolling to keep asking that

…but not sure where this is clipped from.

Also…flagger waving yellow flag in the corner before for all of them before the light can be seen on TV.  I’m betting that AMA flagger sees the light still on too.

This was taken right from the broadcast. They showed this clip in the post race show.

Oh yea…I just watched that late part of the post race show.  Clear as day!  Holy $(*t AMA.  WHAT THE???  Listen…I like Brown, but Jo had a 3 second lead before that.  That’s Jo’s race.

I didn’t watch the post race show. I had to go to the hospital. My father in-law had a medical issue. I was up all night almost 24 hours straight.

100% agreed. Not sure how they can say they reviewed it and are levying no penalties.

I’ve kind of chuckled at the conspiracy posts…but with such clear evidence, and a history of using video to make rulings….i am seriously questioning the integrity of the AMA.  In the past there seemed to be some wiggle room, albeit by a very small margin at times (ref off track acceleration), but there is no room this time.  They are just saying suck it, the rules don’t apply to Star/Monster this time.

Questioning whether they have any integrity at all..?
