......man was that close......I am a Peick fan but I just rewatched it like 10 times on tv and man it looked like Kiniry had it. Maybe it was the angle.....last night I was happy to see Peick get it but it did look like Kiniry had the win......sure....Peick OJ'd it but that's after the fact....

This is where someone who knows someone who works for the AMA tells me, how great their "friend" is..
It looked to me like Peick just barely got him. As close as it gets.
Last year he was the first to the checkers too.
Now, I grew up in NY watching Kiniry so I'm a bit of a homer in that regard. But I'm trying to figure out what exactly happened. The broadcast made it seem like the transponder had Kiniry first, and then the ruling was reversed based on official sight (maybe video since that is allowed in the rules). Right?
If per the AMA rulebook "the officially designated finish line is defined as the uppermost leading edge of the finish line obstacle," then why didn't Kiniry race the main? Looks like his rear tire is farther than Peick's in the picture. Maybe the YZ is just shorter and Peick's front wheel did go over first. That is so close though!
