Well I waited a couple of days for this one to heat up and get all sides of the story. If you watched this weekend's World Supercross race in Abu Dhabi then you know, the story of the race was Vince Friese. If i'm being honest, I think Vince is a very good rider and would be a crowd favorite if he would quit the over aggressive riding. Will he ever do that, probably not…
Anyways, in this video were going to look at Friese’s recent interview in which he explains his side of the story, and we’ll go through all the rules vince friese broke and the appropriate action that should be taken. Lets get into it.
Race 1 lap 2. Vince Friese is leading the race when they come around to the start where Aaron Tanti and Justin Brayton were down with injury. Friese jumped on the red cross flag.

Yes the red cross flag was a bit hidden as the flagger was in between jumps, so that's something they should work on fixing but Friese along with Wilson jumped on it and I believe Moss and Savatgy may have as well. With that being said maybe they can overlook this rule break considering the flaggers false positioning. But if not, Friese just earned himself a 2 position penalty.
Race 1 lap 8. Vince Friese is running 2nd after Dean Wilson made a clean pass on him, then Friese proceeds to cut inside on the corner thus cleaning Wilson out.

That was a clear example of unsporting and or reckless behavior during a race. According to the FIM World Supercross rulebook, this move subjects him to anything from a one position penalty to a disqualification.
Now lets take a look at what Vince had to say about his aggressive riding and track cutting. Friese spoke in a post race interview with Troy Guenther saying “If you put a bunch of money on the line, like we have here, and put us on an arenacross track, I think that is the way it is going to go. At least for me, I’m not here to just ride around and have fun - I’m here to make some money, pay my bills. That is what we are doing, we are battling for a position. If these guys want to take it easy, they can take it easy, but I am going to race hard.”
“Honestly, I don’t know what happened, whether I got a penalty for it or not, I just know that I got third overall. But, I mean, it is what it is… if it was wrong, then I will take the penalty. I’ve read through the rulebook, but it has been a while - round one was three or four months ago, so maybe I’ll give the rulebook another read-through. It’s hard to say if my front wheel was ahead of his or not, but yeah, I just tried to ride slowly.”
