cheers.
Its about common sense racing is dangerous there are others on the track. Do all things as safe as possible. Coming to a dead stop at the finish line is not what an experienced racer should be doing. Hence the pain and lesson is the resultant is what it is! I hope all racers gain from this and learn to act with more wisdom while racing and avoid unnecessary injuries.
He's racing for a position for his country, just like everyone else out there. Just because Jason has finished his race, doesn't mean the race is over. He's racing to the end, with someone else right on his tail, and that's what racers do...it was a blind jump, he doesn't have X-Ray vision. By the time he's spotted Jason celebrating in the main line, in between the face and landing slope, it's too late. Shit happens fast at the speeds these guys are moving at!
If it wasn't Notsuka, it would have been someone else. It's a miracle nobody was seriously hurt.
DeCoster: If they don’t address some of those problems the participation from the U.S. is going to… I’m sure Jason is going to think twice to be on the Motocross of Nations team in the future.
Sounds a little like "more privileges again or we don't participate anymore"
I'm sure the rest of the world will like it
as for the crash, mostly on Jason for cruizing slowly over the line, a little on the flag man for not putting the yellow out, but not a huge amount of time to make that call, ,
for those that think the Japanese rider should not have jumped, (incl Decoster) are we expecting all riders after the winner not to jump the finish line double as they take the chequered flag at A1 now?

DeCoster just sounded like a sore loser.
Any team manager desperate for a win would have picked Forkner before AMart.
Regarding mxon in usa, budds was really good, colorado sucked big time.
Glen helen might work but for the ultimate mxon experiance, go watch it in europe, stay at the camping! :-D
But I understand their frustration. 5 years in a row is really a lot. Keep in mind that any other Country is struggeling to get 3 decent riders together every year. To wreck it 5 Times is a thing of absurdity actually. The pressure on them is pretty good I'd say. Then the ridicoulus amount of bad luck this year. They are definately having a rough time at the moment. Next year. Glen Helen
Anderson was rolling on the racing line, it sucked it happend, but rolling any jump on a active track is risky.
I bet any money that if Jason had his time again he would not celebrate on the top of the jump and roll slowly off it.
If the rider that landed on him had his time again he would hit that jump exactly the same, not to land on someone but because that is what you do in a race, race to the finish line! Which in this case means launching a jump as you finish.
Make sure you have a go pro on at your next race Pilot dude can't wait to see you post the footage of your rolling the finish line jump in every moto from now on just in case the rider in front of you on a blind jump as choosen to roll it!
Sure glad you are a frequent poster my friend and hope you have a good week.
