Clean Rider is a win with no respawn and no penalty. Racing family, 1.9 percent. Both halves matter. A win with one cut is not clean. A win where you crashed, respawned and still arrived first is not clean. The checker, a blank penalty column and no respawn are the three facts the icon wants together.

Cheat! is the icon almost everyone already has, at 100 percent, precisely because the first penalty is easy. This is the evening you do not take that penalty. Track limits on a berm, obstacle markers, and the cut that looks faster on the inside are the usual donors. Ride a circuit you know. Loket hard-pack shows the rut and the edge clearly. Sand at Riola Sardo hides both. Volcanic soil at Bariloche hides them in a different colour. Pick the one where you can see the mistake before you make it.

There is no neighbour on this record. The practical neighbours are still the narrow win and the Expert win, which you can stack later. Do not stack them on the first attempt. Amateur AI, a short distance and a bike you trust will produce a clean win more often than Expert AI on a long MXGP grid of 20. By a Whisker wants the margin under a second, which tempts a last-lap cut. Leave that temptation for another day.

Online adds other people's crashes to your race. A contact that knocks you down can force the respawn this icon forbids. An offline grid is the controlled version. MX2's 16-rider offline cap is a smaller accident factory than MXGP's 20. PC Update 1 improved AI off-track behaviour at Arnhem and AI on the slopes at Foxhills, so those circuits are less chaotic after the patch than they were on the raw launch build. Install the update before you judge either track.
