Chase when he's riding well takes a bit more risks and if you think about it with James being a riding coach now does he triple that because of that influence? I think it's save to say we all know James would triple that! Risky certainly, and most likely not necessary to get into the main. But it leads to some opinion / question.
If it's an option to triple to the inside or outside, double to the same I'd try it as you may need to do it in the main to make a difference in position if the race is close or on the line... And if you've done it two - three times in the heat race you have the confidence to do it in the main?
From Colts point of view two things for me. Obvious in the slow motion / still frames he looks over. So he could be thinking if I get over and commit it'll slow Chase down / won't triple. Another outlook would be did he do it to mess up his confidence if he does triple maybe he doesn't hit me but is it a close enough call that it does mess him up going into the main in that particular section of the track?
Outside looking in, I feel like some "Race craft" was involved in how it all played out. Nobody wants to get hurt, but I think a lot of riders are okay riding on that edge for whatever reason. And with this being the last race of the Supercross season maybe it was worth the risk. In the end paid off for one, and not the other.
I don't want to see anyone get hurt at any level - so well wishes and a speedy recovery to all that unfortunately got hurt this year! And congrats to those that were named Champions Sunday.

I bet no one knows or paid attention to this but he never has had to run a LCQ to make a main. For pretty much one of the youngest to where he is today, it says a ton about his consistency and his talent.
