I don't know. I'm sure it will come out soon enough.

Probably ignoring the blue flag again.

That would seem to fall under the terms of
"Engaging in any unfair practice, misbehavior or action detrimental to the sport of motorcycling in general, whether or not related to a specific competition."

He tangled with Pegram, doing his seemingly usual "I was just holding my line" routine where he blocks faster riders 'cause seems to not understand the rules. Looks like he did one time too many.

Pegram said that Page blocked him at the end of the race, and cost him 4th place. Words started flying and talks of fighting behind the transporters.

They each filed protests against eachother.

Page said that Pegram tried to cut his front tire off in "Roadrage" at the end of race.

Rock Page was wrong. As a backmarker, you need to move OFF the race line and let the race leaders pass under a blue flag condition.

It's not only a matter of costing a front runner a position, but it's a matter of safety.

I am glad JRP is out. Not only is he a crappy racer, but this is at least the second time he has blocked a front running bike. I saw the video of him and Al. JRP was miked up for the video. He set Al up. What a poor rep. for AMA racing. THis guy cares nothing about the sport. He just wants to get his name out for his reality tv show. Go back to the hole that you climed out of and let the real pros run.

What do you want to bet that if Pegram and him would have gone out back the fight would have been on You tube. A set up if I ever saw one.

OTT Twitter said JRP said "mic me up, there is about to be drama" How about that for class?

I suspect that there is more to this than is being published, and a lot will be left over bad feeling from the previous episode.

Why just suspend him? If he isn't up to the standard required for AMA pro racing just take his licence away surely?

In an FIM or ACU situation such as this there would be a full hearing before punishment was meted out, and if he wasn't deemed good enough he would then lose his licence, period.

Being 'indefinitely suspended' is neither one thing nor the other.
