To establish in writing for the first time ever that the lead in lights are a thing.

Doesn't really clear up the "the lead in lights were off but the red cross flag was still out" in the 450s.Still sounds like there should have been a penalty there.

Good to distinguish red from yellow, and no more red lead in light. As noted above, what if no red light but a red cross, or vice versa?

I challenge anyone to find reference to a "pre-light" prior to this week. Rule book, email, audio from riders meeting, anything..... see if you can find it.

So the rules regarding a red light and Red Cross flag remain unchanged, so how about those penalties for last weekend? Because not once has there been a rule in the rule book that said you can jump on a red light or red cross flag.

2/25/2026 4:28pm All that tells me is that you haven't read the rule. The rule from AMA is quoted below. The red cross flag and the flashing lights have the same meaning. AMA came up with some bs story about lead in lights to avoid handing out penalties and none of it is in the rule book. White Flag with Red Cross...

2/24/2026 6:15pm They all should be penalized..... the only exception should be the 450s if they were already committed when the flag came out. I haven't seen the video to determine one way or the other.

2/24/2026 5:37pm I'm a fan of Pierce and it was cool to see him win. Really wish it would have been under different circumstances but he put himself in that position by jumping on the red lights. It was his fault for missing the lights and breaking the rules. The AMA can spin whatever bs they want, but Pierce, and others, jumped...

Smuffers Added a reply to Shimoda´s red light?
2/23/2026 1:28pm There isn't a rule like that. "Lead in lights" are not referenced in the rulebook. The rules referencing hazard lights are below (emphasis added). They literally made this up to fit the outcome they wanted. The AMA is a joke. e. White Flag with Red Cross or Red Flashing Lights 1. This flag or a red flashing light may be...

I stood outside the AMA rig until almost midnight in the cold of get a statement. They wouldn’t give one. I gathered info from the teams invoked and released it in our post-race show yesterday. Myself and Lewis both heavily criticized the position they took on this.

Here is the actual rule from the AMA rule book (emphasis added). The rule says red cross OR red flashing light. e. White Flag with Red Cross or Red Flashing Lights 1. This flag or a red flashing light may be displayed at the beginning of a triple jump or a series of jumps to indicate a potentially hazardous situation on or near the racetrack in an area that may not be clearly visible to oncoming Riders. 2. This flag indicates a significant safety concern and takes precedence over all other flags. 3. Until the Rider is clear of the...

So you want riders coming out of a corner who see the lights to then check if there is also a flag to go along with the lights, and then make the decision to back off in the fraction of a second that they have for all of this? You are going to end up killing somebody in the name of "safety". Pathetic incompetence. The sport deserves better.

Imagine a situation in a race this season where there is a red cross flag, for a genuine reason/rider down injured, but no "lead in lights", and a rider either doesn't see the flag or "doesn't see the flag" and proceeds to jump and then land on or crash into the medical staff and/or downed rider. This is a very real situation that could now happen if they stick with their decision in regards to this 450 flag debacle and don't make a hard rule otherwise. What a fucking shambles
