Then he should've done it without cutting the track

Did you see it? Zero advantage gained, if anything it slowed him down. 
Pointless penalty all he did was clip the first or second marker, it’s not like he cut the track.

Was at the race tonight, just made it home! So enjoyable to watch the riding techniques in person, you can really appreciate a lot more, and even the camera work at the actual event is fantastic. Didn't miss bondo at all. 😅

Some observations, 

250:

Man that was an absolute blast 10/10 race for me. Bummed to see Jo go from 2nd to 4th with 3 turns left, but wow it was everyone up there I wanted to see! And I'm not even a fan, but I must acknowledge Deegan is a baddddd dude on a dirtbike. That was gnarly in person. The guy looked so strong and planted on the bike. All the top guys were racing hard, but somehow Deegan raced even harder.. it was genuinely impressive. 

450:

Hunter rode great, looked very relaxed and controlled. I didn't catch him looking sketchy or out of shape once. Just looked like a smart, controlled, managed win. Very efficient on the bike imo. Effortless. 

Ken was absolutely flying and looked so comfortable on the Suzuki. It was a joy to watch. Ken's riding style is just so fluid. Ken in many ways looks as good as ever. 

Not sure what happened to Eli.. he looked amazing in qualifying but his body language was off in the main, he completely lacked intensity, just kind of looked like he was riding around. Not sure if the JCoop thing spooked him, if he felt unwell, or just no flow, but he didn't look like himself. 🤷‍♂️

You mean his body English? 😅

Kitchen is not in the kinda shape he needs to be in to race at Deegan’s or Davies pace on a consistent basis. Neither is Jo.

Pretty sure Jo is still improving his fitness after coming back from being off the bike due to a broken neck. What's Levi's excuse?

Looks like AP has his left knee wrapped. Hopefully just a stinger and not worse.

Actually, Jett was 19 in his final 250 Supercross season turning 20 that year so the exact same as Deegan. Jett’s birthday is just later in the year. Let’s get our facts straight if we are going to spout off.

Jett was 19 throughout his last 250sx series and Haiden turned 20 on the first race of his last 250 sx season. Doesn't make any difference to me but lets get our facts straight if we are going to spout off 😆

You aren’t very intelligent are you? They were both 19 at the start of the season and turned 20 the year they moved up to 450s.

You two have a problem with basic understanding. The rule says riders must not cut split lanes. And what happens if you break a rule?

No one's really sure what happens when rules are broken. Sometimes nothing, sometimes they throw the book at you. Sometimes you get penalised because that is how the rule book is written and it can't be changed. Sometimes you don't get penalised because even though you broke the rule in the rulebook there is are different rules that aren't in the rule book at all and you'll be ok.

I hope that helps clarify the situation

My statement is factual. Jett did not race 250's at 20 years old. Haiden was 20 at the season opener this year. Due to my lack of intelligence it should be pretty easy for you to prove me wrong.

You’re being obtuse. Obviously when two birthdays are 8 months apart it makes exact comparisons difficult but they both moved up in their “turning age 20 year”. Any further argument is just being a fan boy
