Blake Wharton docked 4 spots?

If you race for monster you can launch your bike into another riders head and the other rider will get last gate pick for both motos and you'll get a, "bad child" warning.

You can jump on a flashing light rhythm section, claim you don't look ahead and the AMA will give you a "bad child don't do that again" warning.

You can then skip the entire triple section, and safe places to enter the track and the AMA will give you a "bad child don't do that again" warning.

You can then pass on a medic flag and the AMA will give you a, "bad child don't do that again" warning.

Now if you ride for Rockstar you can get sketchy in the whoops, go over the bars, struggle to get up, lose 5 spots and the AMA will dock 4 spots from you.

Does anyone see a problem here?

Now you accidentally get sketchy in the whoops, go over the bars lose positions, and still get penalized?

It's turned into a damn joke.

I'm pretty much there.

I don't see Reed Stewart or Dungey getting that many gifts.

Seems that Blake Wharton crashed in the whoops and his bike bounced into the next lane, and when he got up he took off in that lane, so apparently the AMA docked him 4 spots (after he lost 5 spots in the crash). I don't know if this has been discussed. When a rider goes off the track, he's supposed to reenter at the nearest safe entry location to the place where he went off the track - it would be hard to tell where the "nearest safe location" would be if his bike was already on the track headed the other direction. The AMA might have this one right, or they may not. Certainly, they're not consistent - I remember JLaw cutting the entire first turn at Daytona one year to avoid a first turn pileup and went from near last to about 5th in the process and I don't think they docked him. It seems to me that you'd have to figure out if he advanced his finishing position by reentering where he did.

Okay he checked himself up and let leaders by but his actions nearly took down RV and others.
Perhaps the AMA need to put some of those solid plastic water blocks between lanes at Daytona first turn to stop a repeat of this happening next year?
