Where was Minear supposed to go?
Back to where he left the track
Sure bud rejoin the track at a safe spot every except there eh chief?
So go backwards on the track to get back there?
He had time to loop back and still get a transfer position. Sucks but that's the rule. No one was in the whoops remember.

There is no way even a single rider out there is aware of that rule
Ok, Mike
Makes perfect sense to me. You've gotta cross the finish line.
Not Mike ... been involved in this sport since '74 though...
Here’s some food for thought, say last lap pass happens to Kenny or Hunter and this obscure rule decided a championship y’all would be signing a different tune.
RC literally said on the broadcast, you brake, turn right and go over the line. Why should someone that doesn’t make it around the proper track get an advantage over someone that does? The people behind him managed to make it over the finish line. Simple as that
I agree, terrible call by the AMA.
He got ran off the track. That’s the difference.
He gained no advantage. He literally lost a position. Trying to stay on the track was dangerous and so was circling back to cross. Minear did the right thing and this is a dumbass rule.
Good lord, this sport will never go anywhere. Bush league. Maybe let's bring in Will, Jason, Jason, RC, Weege, and the entire supporting cast of BenHur for their input, back to you Diffey.
The rule is weird because it only applies to the last lap. Which is bizarre because that’s most likely when someone would get blasted off the track right before the finish line.
Where do you want it to go?
It seems that Feld’s Barnum & Bailey clowns have day jobs at the AMA. 🤡🤡
Seen deegs go kinda diagonal in a straight section.. prob gonna get docked 3 positions for lane cutting
Pit Row
He literally needed to brake and turn right. I bet next time it happens now he knows the penalty he will manage it, despite how hard you think it is
where was he supposed to loop back? Pull on and back off in the whoops?
Attention downvoter: show yourself.
You got wax in your ears? RC said not sure what else Minear was supposed to do there after hearing the ruling, and sounds like he didn’t agree with it either.
He literally didn’t have time to do anything but what he did. Hopefully if there is another time for him or someone else, the AMA will have changed the rule because that’s stupid what they did. I get it to prevent riders from just going off the track like that at the finish line. But when you get run off like that, Naw man….that’s a stupid ruling they handed down.
Yeah. Just just continue 1/4 mile to where you can turn around then rejoin the track on the face of the jump. This sport is embarrassing
We cannot bash the AMA for upholding the rules now. With all of the BS decisions the AMA has made this year, penalizing HD38 for the “lane split,” about every race Hammaker has been in this year, but letting Minear finish the race without crossing the finish line, would make heads explode.
We can and we will, because it’s not logical.
Pretty sure it would be excepted due to te safety side of things
Pretty crazy people are defending the ama’s decision on this.
Don’t understand how anyone is complaining about this, if it’s in the rule book, it’s in the rule book.
Maybe if the sport had actual team managers instead of former pros, someone from the team might read the rule book and bring it to the AMAs attention before it becomes a problem
So instead of taking the safe route, he should have flipped a U-turn in the whoops section so he could cross the finish line properly.
This is so dumb! If they enforce this rule they need to make it a rule for everywhere else around the track…. If you leave the track, the rider must re-enter where he/she left.
Pretty sure that is the rule
