FFS Nichols that was disgusting. What a dick move, that was the worst cross jump i have ever seen.

That is a move that in my opinion should warrant a DQ from the event.

Nicholls deservedly hurt in that .. play stupid games, win stupid prizes

Without the look across, that's a racing incident

Okay, I'm a racing fan, but I've never rode a bike, just love watching the racing, so maybe more experienced people can help me out. That definitely looked like a cross jump by Colt. Am I wrong in thinking that? Or do you put the onus on Chase?

I hate the way these guys cut the shit out of the track, I hope they dock Sexton a few spots in that heat race, there is no reason he couldn't have went back on the track in the same spot!!

Sorry, RC called that wrong imo. Nichols pulled a shitty move and it looks like he paid the price.

Cross jump or not, Sexton should have seen that one coming

Colt did what everyone fears the slower dude in front of you at the track does. Rolls the jump in front of you and swerved over where you’re about to land.

Bad move...

Bad judgement from Nichols and Sexton there. Chase should've known he would shut the door hard, and Nichols had to know Chase would spear him if he put himself in his path.

WTF is RC talking about being Sexton's fault. Colt looked back and moved to the inside.

When he looked over and saw Sexton was coming up the inside hot he should’ve known to hold his line.

In my eyes that was dumb by Sexton to try that again. He showed himself the previous lap and should have known that Nichols would cover the inside. 250 kids lack some race smarts.

Downvote me all you want.

Dumb move by Sexton in my eyes. He put a wheel on colt the lap before, did he think colt wouldn’t respond. Colt doesn’t care if it’s a heat race

So if Eli makes it into the main, he‘s the champ, right?
I hope he chugs a beer on the gate and wins big! Kenny‘s my man but Eli deserves this title. Kept it together for whole thing

Not sure what Sexton could have done different there - he was committed and Nichols looks over, and cross jumps from the center of the track to the far edge. I’m a fan of Colt but that was a bad look.

I don't think it was his fault but he should have expected Nichols to close the door there after almost running into him the lap before

That was a 50-50 incident and 100% dumb by both 23 and 1E.

Didn't the AMA make it illegal to accelerate along side the track? Yamaha should protest.
