Seriously. If you began pulling lappers off the track as soon as they are about to be lapped, they pretty much will finish in the same positions anyway.

Just credit them with whatever spot they were in before they were pulled off. Jesus fucking christ

I don’t necessarily agree with that. But I do think they need to be black flagged. Take what their payout would have been and give it to the medics. That Alves guy is a dipshit.

Agreed. Once they start getting lapped they cant ever put a section together and become a rolling roadblock/dangerous as hell rolling obstacle.

This is why formula 1 has a 107% rule. If you arent within 107% of the leaders lap time in qualifying you arent allowed in the race, period. Too much of a speed gap and would be in the way and a danger to everyone and yourself

Lappers add drama, that’s why they are there. If it wasn’t for lappers that race woulda been a snooze fest.

Just black flag them after they crash someone on the lead lap.

I really don’t think Alves realized Forkner was there...sometimes the blue flags are out and nobody is near lapping anyone. Need to use them things better IMO.

Forkner shouldn't have been floundering around behind Peters for so long and did a shitty job himself passing 222

well idk about you but I was pretty excited for the Forkner/Obsourne battle that was brewing right before Forkner went down (honestly most likely because of the lapper).

But yea I guess if that wasnt about to happen, I love watching races where championship leaders get screwed up by nobodies.

I understand that and agree 100% buuuut; I guess he didn't see the BS line his rider took while being blue flagged.

Alves is a moron. Forkner has a lot of restraint...

Don't do that.

Sponsors pay to see the logos on the bikes/track, taking that away would hurt everyone I would think.

The most annoying thing about supercross, and unsafe...the lappers. Pull them off.

If anyone would pay attention to my suggestion jt removes people who are no where near the pace. Usually the last 2 or 3 riders. We used to have 20 instead of 22 in a main. Not enough room sorry.

107% of the leaders pace or your a hazard to everyone

Classic Vital...Forkner can't get his shit together so we should change the sport. I bet Zacho wouldn't have had an issue passing that kid.

I was going to add that Tomac didn’t seem to have an issue with lappers tonight Wink

As much as Alves was a dipshit for not paying attention to being lapped, I put a lot of it on Forkner. He made the mental errors tonight, but he’s young and learned a little bit tonight. Bet we don’t see him do that again.

I actually have a great idea to fix this whole situation. It would be something that could be tried out at the MEC first or whatever. But it would make for some great racing.
