The Anderson nut-huggers are pretty legit in here too lol

I think the dumbest move of the night went to Mookie. He was running up front and squandered a good start to take some revenge.

Because it could’ve easily been another person knocked down by JA. How many more times does it need to happen before it’s considered reckless and deserves retaliation from some one ?

It is great watching Mookie and Ando race this year. Hell - Mookie splitting Ando and Tomac down that straight was awesome. Yes -Ando came in too hot - but nobody hit the dirt. The best way Mookie could have got Ando back was to beat him in the race. He chose the dumb move to take both him and Ando out. But - we are all waiting on the next race - this is going to get good and fun to watch.

Ask dean and barcia how that works out

Anderson made a dive up the inside of Tomac/mookie from too far back. Malcolm retaliated from that move and the takeout the week prior. Malcolm also makes poor decisions to cut down when there are riders close behind him. Don’t know how there’s so many different views on this

The dumb is Anderson knowing Malcolm (or any other rider) can use the “turn down” and sticking his nose in there anyway. Repeatedly. Anderson’s racecraft has been all about the bloody nose given, but Karma’s paying Anderson a visit this year and she’s throwing haymakers.

It’s only because of what Malcom chose to do following turn two that anyone is even talking about this. Anderson’s inside dive is normal action at the start of a race. Involving different riders and without the retaliation, people would be saying it was a great move. I can’t believe the attention this incident is getting, no one even went down! So yes Anderson got paid back for his aggressive ways and it cost him dearly, but anyone who says that Malcom’s actions weren’t dumb, are only fooling themselves.

This take is exactly correct. The whole episode would have been avoided if Jason didn't try to use Eli as a berm. As I commented last week...at some point, Eli is going to have to 'force' Anderson to stop playing this game. Maybe Mookie did it for him? I doubt it but we will see.

Sure

Yeah and with the angle that Webb mookie and Eli were on or what people are calling “cut down” that would allow them to triple onto the table. There is no way Anderson could triple out doing what he was doing, mookie and Eli were racing forward and Anderson was only thinking about that corner.

If you only saw the second camera angle, you'd think Mookie cut down in the first 1/4 of the turn. The first shot shows him much deeper into the corner and he is about to turn down, cutting a bit tighter than Webb. Would it be a good idea for Mookie to try to open up the corner more so early in the race? Probably. Would Anderson have made contact with Tomac, and maybe Mookie, if Malcolm had been more conservative? History says 'probably'. Anderson plays a risky game, by choice. Much of the time it works, sometimes it does...

This screenshot is after the contact had already made by Anderson everything would have been fine and no contact made if Anderson didn’t dive bomb Eli…you can’t just show that screenshot without the one with Anderson dive bombing to the inside as shown in the second photo above…How many times has it been said that if you make enemies on the track in a championship fight they may come back and cost you later…Anderson’s fate in this championship so far has proven that to be true..

Watching this back my takeway is this: Mookie gapped Tomac and Anderson down the straight into that corner, he was clearly racing ahead of him and his decision to turn down was based entirely on Webb in front of him. No issue there. Eli was coming from the right hand side (realistic position to make the pass clean) and just close enough (within a couple bike lengths) that he was able to legitimately try to get underneath Mookie, but once he realised it wasn't going to happen he started backing off. Then you have Anderson who was 5-6 bike lengths...

Idk man. Look at barcia, people fear him when he’s near. I love what Anderson is doing. He makes passes happen. Didn’t we all bitch about dungey never being aggressive enough??? Anderson moves through the pack like a goddamn G. Mookie doesn’t have awareness to anticipate what is going to happen. He almost wrecked musquin last race doing the same cut down shit when he was on the inside.

A Still shot grab from video doesn't really tell the entire story, 3 seconds later you could throw up a screenshot of Mookie and Eli almost falling over. If, IF, El Hombre hadn't been treating all the other riders like bumpers in a pinball machine since round 1, This incident in Daytona wouldn't even be an issue. Jason has a few people very upset with him and they are not willing to forget and forgive.

That was a great to pass in turn 2 . So people saying now, even when you don't hit people it's too aggressive . What a load of crap . Mookie lost his head because of last week . Completely destroyed his race . Complete and utter idiot move . He might of won that race last night

This. They're not isolated incidents any longer. But, that's what makes him so fun to watch this year. Championship far from over. New mantra going forward for the matador El Hombre from New Mexico... Aggressive "block" pass on the white 27...Bad Aggressive "block" pass on the Red 3... with Glee.

Anderson had it coming, and Stewart made a HUGE FAN out of me for doing it.

A lot of realities where Tomac doesn’t win this race… I don’t know, when he came across that finish line it really did feel like he ascended to being a legend forever.
