Osborne should be docked points

5/6/2017 9:41pm Edited Date/Time 5/9/2017 12:31pm
Osborne should be docked points for that overly aggressive pass. Sometimes it is a fine line and a rear wheel can take out the front wheel of the other guy, but there was absolutely no fine line here, he flat out took out Savatgy. This is not a sport where you can deliberately and recklessly take out other riders for any reason. That is what Osborne did to get the championship.

GTFO. Ride of the decade to win that and Savatgy put himself in that position. That's all....

Valid point. I will make sure the AMA is linked this post and takes appropriate action.

Bingo.

Totally legit pass.

Considering the circumstances, I can't even call it "dirty".

This is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. It was for a championship, of course he's going to take him out.

What a pussified response. Savatgy should have been miles ahead of osbourne. He was the rolling road block in that race. Pulling an anchor.

Seriously that was about the last corner for a pass and the championship is on the line. More is legal there than the last corner of an LCQ. Anything goes Savatgy didn't deserve the title anyway.

Let this pass serve as an example to all the boys and girls who decide to line up behind the gate of exactly what you do if you are in Osborne's situation.

Never give up.
Fight like hell.
And execute a textbook blockpass for the title.

It was perfect.

It was definitely aggressive, but I've seen far more blatant takeout moves gone unpunished. The only way it would be too much in that situation is if he straight torpedoed/ghost rode his bike into him from a different lane

Savatgy has no one to blames but himself. I was hoping Adam was going to end up with it. But hats off to Zach for never giving up and going out and taking the championship.

I thought the pass was borderline but ok, this however is the issue it shouldn't matterweather it's for a championship or not if it's deliberate and really dirty then yeah action should be taken but if it's deemed ok then let it be and get on with it, but the inconsistencies is what everyone is blowing up about nobody knows what legit or not anymore and it doesn't help that the powers to be come down harder on some with less aggressive moves then some guys get away with flat out take out moves where's the line no one knows that's the issue

You must have only received participation awards growing up, because that pass was what champion are made of.

Sure are a lot of dicks on here. I just have to imagine they are 13 years old. It doesn't matter if you are passing for 6th, going for a race win, or the championship. A block pass is one thing, but cutting the corner to turn your bike into a missile to achieve the pass is another issue.
