Among other possibilities:
- other rider gets hurt
- other rider’s bike receives “significant “ damage.
If you do either of those, you might’ve performed a bad block pass, worthy of a penalty that would prevent future occurrence. Losing one position seems most reasonable since pass is attempted in order to gain a position.
Interested in others thoughts on this. In order to have an opinion worth sharing on this, you have to lay aside what you think of this most recent incident and think of this apart from that.

Ferrandis ended craigh podium chances for 2020.
That's like getting $50 fine for putting someone in a wheelchair for the rest of their life. No proportion at all. Instead, we leave it to the rider to "owe" ferrandis a hit. It like being back to 1200 century.

Marv on tomac was bad, friese on peick was bad, dylan on craig was bad.
Play with words.
Driving into the side of another rider with no intention of making the corner at all shall be considered a violation of the "Don't be a dickhead" rule as outlined above. Riders in violation of this rule will receive no real punishment because we really don't have a clue what we're doing.
Contact - Rider does not go down and you both ride away= No Penalty
Contact - Rider goes down and you ride away= No Penalty
Contact - Results in both of you going down= Penalty (Docked two spots)
Contact - Rider goes down and is injured = Penalty (Race DQ+probation)
Contact - Results in both of you going down and other rider is injured = Penalty (DQ+2 race suspension + probation)
Any contact should be under investigation.
You also have A-Stars medical unit to confirm injury. (Injury would be something sustained preventing you from racing later that night - even it is the main. If you couldn't race a theoretical next race, that's an injury)
If you do significant damage to someone's bike - this will be something to investigate but not an automatic penalty. (Possible 1 spot penalty or last gate pick at next race regardless of your qualifying spot.)
I don't agree with assessing position penalties based on how many spots you gained or the other guy lost. Make it an across the board position penalty so everyone knows up front.
Osborne built his career based on these kinds of moves - what did he get? Applause.
People wonder why the sport is circling the drain?? Because it's main fan base are pieces of shit homer losers.
Pit Row
A block pass is when one rider tries to block the path of another, causing them to slow up, to get passed them. Contact is sometimes made when performing a block pass. When contact is made, the likelihood of at least one of the riders crashing goes up.
Injury and who crashes is such a flawed system.
I think intention needs to come into, based on a judgement call on immediately preceding behaviour or a ‘beef’.
I think poor judgement result in causing an accident (in DF case) should come into it.
Repeated dangerous riding (cross jumping etc)
Also this question - would they have made the corner without making contact? If the answer is no then that’s an instant penalty
Looking at intention and possible beef causing the incident makes sense.
That’s a good question to ask, too. I like.
