So, who dunit?? Me thinking #3, looks like he squeezed off Roczen toward Anderson, then hit rear facing side of Roczen's front tire locking it up, triggering the avalanche, then rode off to the pits. Duno for sure, go check it out and tell me what you think, would like to see a straight down verticle vid, but there doesnt seem to be one, what do you guys think?

There was an overhead replay on the show and from that it looked like Anderson started it from the inside by shoving Roczen into Tomac.

Looked like Roczen and Tomac locked bars, which led to Roczens front brake getting hit. His front tire knifed and started the chain reaction.
Really nobody’s fault in my expert Lazyboy opinion.

When you have 22 riders all fighting to get into a place that only 5 or 6 bikes can fit I don't think you can really blame anyone for some carnage.

no ones fault, but it started with Anderson and Roczen in the apex of the first turn.
That turn was made for shit like this to happen, as well as the little bump placed just after the home plate triple.
this is why Supercross in general is just an excuse for Feld to show carnage under the guise of racing. Combine that with the WWE opening ceremonies and you got too much sideshow shit and not enough racing.

Chad Reed's fault for sure on the outside, don't know why that guy bothers racing anymore
No, but he sure tried to fuck the field (and his back) by DOUBLING the home plate triple while in third place for no apparent reason on the first lap.
Im sure the guys right behind him had to change their shorts after the race.
