Sucks that Stewart caused that, but we all have to remember one thing: Stewart's only been in a handful of positions where the blue flag means anything for him. He probably saw them and his instinct kicked in, which was, "I don't need to worry about those." Doesn't really make it any better, but I'm sure Villopoto could've been guilty of the same thing if he'd had the chance and I don't think he would've caught near the shit that Stewart has and is still going to

MM and RD will have separate trainers in 2017, stamp it! Haha.
I thought the 250's would be more exciting than they were. The top 2 checked out by ten seconds at the halfway mark. Let's hope the other fast guys get a better start next week..:.

Re: 2016 SX Discussion
Stewart held his line good but he shouldn't have been in front of them in that section in the first place.. He got caught on the start straight but failed to touch his brakes for 2 seconds to let them pass. I was so pissed.. Musquin should have won that race.

Re: 2016 SX Discussion
I'm not sure if Musquin still could've won, because his mistake in that rhythm wasn't entirely Stewart's fault. Looked like a cross rut off the face to me which caused him to case the 3 inKaseoDip wrote:Stewart held his line good but he shouldn't have been in front of them in that section in the first place..

Re: 2016 SX Discussion
Also, I'm just pumped Stewart put in a full main event. Now he can actually take this info back to camp and use it to learn where his brain, body and mentality is at.
Must say though, is was strange seeing the big #7 getting lapped.

Re: 2016 SX Discussion
Stewart stayed at in his own lane through that rhythm section but I think the argument is he probably fucked up Marvin's corner. He saw the blue flag over the finish; he should'nt have charged so hard through the whoops and take a main line through the corner.mxsrider96 wrote:I'm not sure if Musquin still could've won, because his mistake in that rhythm wasn't entirely Stewart's fault.

If you were to make that argument I would argue that Stewart blocked Dungey more than Musquin.aeffertz wrote:Stewart stayed at in his own lane through that rhythm section but I think the argument is he probably fucked up Marvin's corner.

It was unfortunately but Musquin came up short and while Stewart probably should have checked up instead of tripling Musquin was making mistakes for 5+ laps before that so IDK if you can really blame it on any one thing.
Just glad none of them got hurt more than anything. That was a bad situation with Dungey and Musquin crossing lines in the air, Musquin cross rutting and casing and Stewart trying to mind his business over by the tuff blocks.

Stewart saw them, knew damn good and well what it meant but was clearly to proud to just let them go. Did Musquin actually touch Stewart? No, he didn't but there wasn't any reason for Stewart to still be in front of him by the time that corner came up. I don't care how many race wins/championships you have before, you get out of the way when going a lap down. That counts double for the lead.
Re: 2016 SX Discussion
Yeah he equally fucked up Dungey and MM. Marvin defnintely went from right to left and cased on his own but who's to say he wouldn't have made the mistake and Stewart not been right there.
It is what it is. I'm not mad.

Re: 2016 SX Discussion
I don't think that Stewart deserves special treatment. He is in the wrong. I'm just saying, when you've raced for 12 years, and you see the blue flag in every single one of those races, it gets embedded in your mind that it means 1 of 2 things. 1. I need to move (Has not happened to Stewart very often). 2. These people need to move (Has happened to Stewart VERY often). And when the blue flag isn't specific as to who it's aimed at, it can be easy for instinct to kick in, which in Stewart, as well as many other racers' case, instinct is number 2. If there is a punishment to be dished, I do believe that Stewart deserves it. Please don't think I'm trying to say that he doesn't deserve to be punished and shouldn't be held accountable for his actionsPumaxcs wrote:What is this, Black Lives Matter?

Re: 2016 SX Discussion
No, I'm simply saying that Marvin effectively made a mistake on his own and Stewart happened to be next to him several times when he shouldn't have been. I was shaking my head too until I saw the replays. It was stupid of him to be there no doubt but saying that Stewart cost Marvin the win isn't really true because he actually held Dungey up more and Marvin made a mistake or two through that section. Not saying he should have been there just that the incoming crucifixion isn't warranted. If it was anyone else it wouldn't be as big of a deal, then it would be a "racing incident" right?Pumaxcs wrote:What is this, Black Lives Matter?mxsrider96 wrote:Stewart...RXR_Banjo wrote:Damn...

Anyways, really impressive rides from alot of riders like Martin, Hill, Stewart etc. Stewart was 10+ seconds behind heat race warrior at one point and was pretty close when they crossed the finish line. Davalos won't make the top 20 if he gets a shitty start, anyone care to explain why he's still in 250s?
