20 riders, 20 laps.

Gate drops, 5 laps to sprint.

After lap 5, 16-20th place off, that's where they finished.

After each lap for the next 10, the person in last is eliminated, that's where they finish.

Last 5 laps there are 5 riders remaining with no lappers. Let them battle.


...had a few whiskeys tonight after that snoozer of a SX on the tv! Flame away!
What a stupid thing to say! You should have fuck'n passed out before you wrote such a response!

Face it! Some guys are never going to win, PERIOD! I don't think they should give up their dream because there are hell of alot of people posting that would love a chance to roll around in the main. SX depends a lot on your start. Not very many places to pass. All week you practice your starts, you think you have the answer and it doesn't happen. Therefore mentally your doomed. You have to keep rolling because those people that give you the $$ won't be back next year.

wasnt it the cupped out whoops that alessi was cruising through cautiously? i remember RV taking the whoops very cautiously in his last 7 or so laps. could it of just been that m alessi was doing roughly the same and it was just bad timing for weimer. i honestly dont know; im just a benefit of doubt kind of guy. i am glad weimer was not hurt when he went off; or for that fact glad no bystanding track crew didnt get landed on. God bless everyone involved!...........oh wait ; it was a Canadian race: who cares, to hell with them all!! haha!!

Total truth. Total Pro. There is zero reason for 20 rider mains. Maybe 10 but 5 would be better. If your not capable to win the race stay home. The injury situation would not be a problem if there was a minimum qualifying level. 101% rule or something. Shit is not working as is. Sorry but I'm not about providing employment/income opportunities like the USA expects. Motocross racing is win or die. If they don't like it they should race nascar and make millions for last place.

5 riders is a bit of a hyper-correction, but I agree with you that 20 is too much. Besides the safety aspect, the qualifying races would get a lot more meaningful and interesting straight away.

Can anyone (besides team members/family/friends to the riders) honestly say they pay that much attention to what goes on past 10th place (or so) anyway?

But are you watching those guys race for position? It kinda sounds like you aren't.

I feel like there are enough obstacles as it is (without having so many lappers in the mix).

Wasn't just Weimer, Reed tweeted the same before the race even started . . . with reference to the 107% rule.

Good to see you can't differentiate practice from the race.

once apon a time, other riders probably said the same about weimer.
weimer has better stamina and he feels everyone who makes a main should have equal amount of stamina/

Black flagging after going down a lap wouldn't solve anything if I was on the track about to be lapped. Lets see... my options are ignore blue flags and try to keep going to maybe still get another spot before getting black flagged or get lapped and get black flagged. So why would I make it easy on first if my main event was about to end?

Some of you people here are hard of hearing. Weimer said there was a down rider and he guessed wrong on where Georke was going.....his words "racing incident I guess." His said "he made a mistake" when talking about flying over that berm, again accountability. He also commented that he can't believe people make the main then just roll around. That is 100% correct, that is not unprofessional or whining or whatever.

There were 2 lappers that rolled the triple on camera, thats single...single.....single. Every slap dick that doesn't have a motorcycle on this site can go single single single on a SX track, anyone defending that in professional SX is a moron. Being lapped is one thing, cashing it in on lap 6 and calling it a night is different and you can easily tell the difference and who's who's out there when it happens.

People complain when riders give the standard answer of "I'd like to thank Monster, Dunlop, Parts Unlimited, Thor, the man upstairs" etc. when asked a question. Then, when a rider decides to speak his mind people complain about that also? I'd much prefer riders take a queue from the stars of the 80's (Hannah, RJ, Ward, Lechien etc) and speak their minds. Tell us what you're really thinking, tell us you think so and so sucks for rolling around out there and not trying or that they are going to beat so and so's brains in at the next round. Good on Weimer for telling us what he was thinking at the time. I'd much rather hear that then the canned responses we normally get.

5 rider mains would be better? Really?......101%? When it comes to exerting effort, you can only give 100%. Where do you think these 5 riders in the main will get that extra 1% from?.......You talk like the USA is a person who expects employment/income opportunities? WTF?! Are you trying to morph your political views into this thread?.......Motocross racing is win or die? Holy shit! That means you won every MX race that you've ever entered, or that you've never raced MX, or you are wanted for murder or wrongful death....or, are you a ghost?! I bet all but maybe 3 of the top MX'ers would gladly make million(s) for finishing last in NASCAR races! I just don't expect a lot of those type of employment/income opportunities to present themselves. What do you expect?

IMHO, It's not right to make the main and not race it with 100% effort. I also DON'T think it's wrong for Weimer to complain about that.

Your opinions seem more than wrong......bizarre!

Last to first does not mean jack shit when the bottom 15 (out of 20) are not trying to win. Your response is very typical of the average american citizen. It's all about "on paper" for you. Reality is much different. Weimer said the words. He had a better view than you.
Imagine what last to first would mean if the rider had to pass only 4 people! How could oldfart's opinion be that of the average american citizen when the average american citizen doesn't even know what motocross is?

It didn't seem like oldfart was saying Weimer was wrong for complaining, or that he had a better view than Weimer.....but rather 20 rider mains are better then your Einstein idea of having 5 rider mains.

I think you misunderstood what he meant by 101%. He is talking about a rule used in racing where if your lap time is some percentage slower than the leader you would not be allowed to race.

Sounds easy, but with lap times under one minute if one of the top guys crashes and it takes more than a minute to get the bike started they can easily make up several positions if they get going again.
If it takes more than a minute to get your bike started your race is over anyway. Why is bullshit always has an Alessi attached to it.

Tell that to Villopoto after he crashed, filled his silencer with dirt, kicked on it for a long time, had his mechanic remove ithe dirt from the plugged silerncer, and then came back and passed several riders or Stewart after he endoed at Daytona, was there for a long time trying to get back on and get his bike started, and then set the fastest lap time of the event and passed several riders. In both instances they came back after a more than a minute of down time and gained points that they wouldn't have gotten.

I'm really glad this topic is being discussed, rolling around in the main event is Bullshit

Disqualification by PAINTBALL ?

47 second lap times....factory suspension.....one off factory tire compounds....factory motor....factory rider.....20 laps. Lappers are part of sx and most keyboard posters would be 12-15 laps behind the last place rider and that's with pulling the hole shot and not falling down.

got jumps and whoops and ruts and other riders. they're all obstacles and if you can't navigate through them without whining about them maybe you should rethink your profession. it wasn't like jeff or the others were zigzagging across the track or something.

but yea wiemer had a gripe, it's just too bad he looked like a whiner where and when he made the comment. live and learn and at least he does have some passion and wants to do well.

Pro riders at this level should know what is going on at all times. That means you know whats coming up and whos behind you so you can choose the right line to not lose a spot.

touche my friend, but I'm not worried about an internet hero having an iq higher than myself. I put my time in during private school and college. Going for free I might add while riding and racing on the weekends. In addition, I didn't ask you Tongue
