Your bias shows in your wording. Where is the logic around here?
63 to 63 right now

Unbelievable skill and focus to make that pass..
Sounds about right i agree
Let me bias it the other way.
Should the AMA follow the rule book and penalize cooper for cutting the track.
Or
Should it be ignored because that’s what the AMA always does.
Now, for the top half of pollsters to understand the bottom half's perspective, an NCIS visual might be the only way:
-Slide 1 you will see the point at which an out-of-control Cooper exits the track. This slide shows that Webb is clearly behind Eli at the point he exited the track.
- Slide 2 shows you that A: Cooper is outside of the track boundaries or per the rulebook "cuts part of the racecourse", and B: Webb is entering the track ahead of Eli. If you don't like the word ahead I used here, you can use the rulebook's exact verbiage - "gained an advantage without gaining a position"
- Slide 3 shows the position where Webb would have been had he stayed within the boundaries of the racecourse
-Slide 4 is someone else's view from a different angle
The rulebook does not take intent or how badass Webb's save was into consideration...it's black and white:
"If a rider accelerates in an unsafe manner while off course or cuts a part of the racecourse, the rider may be determined to have gained an advantage without gaining a position"
The top half will call the bottom half whiners for wanting to enforce what is in their opinion a petty penalty, and the bottom half will call the top half brainless vitards who can't read a rulebook. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Sounds like a moot point though if no one protested.

Let the down votes flow.
It should read
“Coopers jump across track boundary incident poll”
No way for something as simple as almost wadding it on a tough block.
It’s in the heat of the battle, people here can armchair all they want - dock Webb a couple spots - for the principleof it of ‘course LOL - and watch that mofo (Webb for those not paying attention) STILL have enough points for the championship and watch Tomac do something EVEN dumber then Webb like slow up - at Vegas in a last ditch effort to screw up a riders season - all because he could not and did not get it done when he needed to.
If were talking “TECHNICALLY” here, he was in front of Eli, then Eli was back ahead, then he completed the pass... No penalty. U guys really are splitting hairs here anyways just to talk about something that doesnt matter at all and Eli doesnt even care.
Edited: He is technically a head of him at the apex as well, but this line was easier to make obvious.
Well done!
