Morning Steemers,

What an event Southwick turned out to be! Wow, we had it all from battles and stand out rides but we also had a few more things to talk about... One of those being a certain 'pass' made by Alex Martin.

Martin was hunting down Forkner for the lead in the second 250 MX moto and saw an opening. He made the move and attempted to force Austin Forkner into the left line but both riders stuck to the inside and hit the ground pretty hard. Forkner came off worse from the tangle but it begs the question... Was this a cheap, dirty pass or was this just a racing incident?

What do you think guys? There is the saying "If you're not rubbing you not racing" but how close is too close. Certainly this was too close but was there intent here or just one of those things that happens in racing? Let me know what you think guys.

I don't think it was malicious, I think he just didn't see him until it was too late.
