At Muddy Creek (similar laptimes), only 14 riders were within six seconds of Ken Roczen's race laptimes and only 14 riders managed to stay unlapped
What I'm saying is...... if you cut him, you'd have to cut a LOT of guys from the nationals as well, and start using SX gates.
He is good enough to be out there
S*** happens.
The Shop
..smarty pants.
Not sure how it all happened exactly - kind of nasty accident and not sure if he saw Anderson or not, would guess probably not- as surely he wouldn't have jumped it otherwise.
No idea if anyone is to blame. Just glad nobody is injured more than they are.
Meant it more along the lines of this topic really not needing it's own thread, as it's been discussed every which way in multiple others..
Pit Row
Probably more than 80% of riders hit that jump after the chequered flag was out, it's a friggen finish line JUMP, otherwise they would place the finish line on a straight if you weren't allowed to hit it.
Muddy Creek - Roczen: 1:53s
Every rider from position position 17 and down.... 2:00+
On big, wide open tracks like Glen Helen..... it's even worse, even fewer people are close to Roczen, but yet I don't hear any claims about what are those guys doing out on the track? Some guys at nationals are 13+ seconds lap behind Roczen at Muddy Creek!
My point is..... Notsuka could probably qualify (too small of a sample size to say definitely) for a national, and that should answer the question about whether he is good enough or not
Roczen, Tomac and Cole Seely all ran 1:53s and it is precisely this "big gap between big dogs to also rans" that is relevant
Oh..... and he was riding a 250, against 450s, so there's that as well
The race is not complete until the last rider passes the chequered flag.
Anderson rolled a double jump slowly in the racing line.
He road recklessly and caused injury to a competitor. He should be disqualified and points taken away.
Just because they all do it doesn't make it right.
