I agree, 3 points is way too harsh. Prado will most likely not be in a title fight so the points do not really matter, but what if this would happen to Tomac or Roczen? 1 should be enough.

I don’t care who it is, a 3 point penalty for post race testing is excessive. The bike obviously passed pre-race, and anything can happen during the race; lose packing, pipe damage etc. it’s not likely to be deliberate?

Bike failed sound because he was revving the ever living fuck out of it like he won a title after the race. 😂 Also, sound testing after a race is fucking retarded.

lame

I doubt he will care, he was clearly the 3rd best rider on the track, I’m sure he will sleep like a log tonight

It’s think it’s pretentious to deploy such grandiloquent vocabulary within his purview.

That caught me by surprise, too. So, if Hemingway wrote about SX/MX, here is what it might have read like (ChatGPT at work...) "The track was cut into the brown earth and the ruts were deep and honest. The bikes came in fast and loud and the air smelled of gas and dust and hot metal. A man sat on the line with his goggles down and his hands steady on the bars. He did not look around. He listened for the gate and he waited for the hit. When it dropped he went like he had been shot forward...

Let’s see, set fastest time of the day. Was riding well during the heat, crashed in a rough section and finished where about where Webb did. Had a couple issues in the main and didn’t finish where he was expected to. Not a great start but definitely could be worse. Pretty sure he’s going to line up next week and give it 💯 again

This narrative was always insane and even more so now
