2020 ANAHEIM TWO SUPERCROSS | COMPLETE COVERAGE

The 2020 Anaheim Two Supercross will have a lasting impact on Dylan Ferrandis. The Monster Energy/Star Racing/Yamaha rider confirmed that he has been put on 12-month probation for his run-in with Christian Craig during 250 Main Event, a crash that forced Craig to the sidelines for the rest of the race due to the damage on his GEICO Honda.

The issue was a pass attempt in a flat, fast right turn after the finish line jump, when Ferrandis dove to the inside of Craig and then collided with the GEICO Honda rider at the exit of the curve. The contact sent Craig flying and put Ferrandis on the ground, and while both were able to get to their feet without injury, Craig’s handlebars were bent too much for him to ride. Ferrandis was able to remount and pursued Jett Lawrence for the lead, which led to block pass attempts, Lawrence’s collarbone breaking crash on the last lap, and Ferrandis’s first Main Event win of the 2020 season. 

The crowd in Angel Stadium of Anaheim voiced their displeasure with Ferrandis when he was shown on the big screen and their boos drowned out his podium speech. The results of the 250 Main Event were withheld after the podium and post-race press conference, and Ferrandis was called to meet with race officials for his actions. Hours after the race was over, it was announced that Ferrandis would be credited with the Main Event win and 26 championship points.

Per Ferrandis, he has been put on a 12-month probation by the AMA that will result in a fine should he violate it with overly aggressive riding.

First win at the Angel staduim last night πŸ™ŒπŸ» πŸ₯‡ crazy night and race, gave absolutely everything I had to the finish. Unfortunately I had this racing incident with Christian Craig that make both of us crash during the main event, I want to apologize to him and I hope he’s not injured, definitely not the way I wanted to pass him. Racing is never easy, specially when you dedicated your whole life to win and you had a 15min race to do it, sometime the decision we take are not the smarter… The AMA gave me a 12 months probation with fine if I violate a rule in my probation period. Head down and back to work. πŸ“Έ @supercrosslive

      Couldn’t agree more. That should’ve been a loss of position and 1 or 2 race suspension.
