Somewhere there was a photo posted of Dylan attempting to “pass” Jett next lap the same way but in a really bad spot. That’s the problem is gotta slow down his tactics. Anybody know where that photo is??
Can people just get over it!? Its like you never seen a very aggressive "pass" before. He said he effed up and apologized. Move on.

The difference between the two was a millisecond of misjudgment in the Craig situation and you have to concede that either Dylan made an overly aggressive mistake, or he was just trying to purposely take out everyone he could. Which seems more logical?
Dylan was out to give a riding lesson to a young pup ;-)
Everyone has a hard time criticizing someone with broken English thinking they're insulting someone with mental issues.
Ferrandis is a dirty racer, sorry to bring that to everyone's attention.
We get it...you love Dylan Ferrandis.
You can't argue that Dylan has been riding desperate and making rookie mistakes. He's a veteran and champion. I would expect this kind of riding from a rookie, not from Dylan.
Did he purposefully try to take out Jett (or even Craig)? No...I don't think so. Was he riding like a complete bobo? Yes...absolutely.

And I'm not a Ferrandis fan, I wanted to see Jett win. But that doesn't change the fact that he did nothing wrong with Jett.
Webb pulled the exact same move on Tomac in lap 1 of the heat race. Tomac slowed down, pass was made - No problem. Jett left the gas on as he didn't want to give up the position. Understandably - but the dangerous situation was his own fault. Ferrandis hat the inside line.
If stating an opinion is "stirring shit" then I guess this forum is for stirring shit.
Did you watch that race? What they didn't show in that clip is that after the race was over, he rode over to Hill, apologized to him, and they shook hands
He then immediately apologized again when he was interviewed and explained what happened. He over jumped going into the corner and missed the brake.
Taking out riders is not his riding style.
An experienced SX racer, leading on the last lap, goes inside to prevent that from ever transpiring because they know the dangers of going wide to gain .2 seconds. They've either had it happen before or done it to someone else before. Dylan knew that because of his SX experience. That's why he dove inside when he saw Jett go wide. Jett endangered himself by trying to jump through Dylan to still triple. That also shows a lack of experience. The kid is a SX greenhorn and fears nothing because he hasn't experienced enough to be fearful.
The kid has a bright future. He'll learn.
Joking aside, I don't think Ferrandis intentionally took out Craig, but that doesn't really matter. It happened, and those types of actions (accidental or not) tend to have consequences. He now gets to feel the wraith of the fans for the rest of the year and wonder whether or not an apology to Craig was enough to squash it.
I hope someone really punts his ass.
