I wonder if I am the only one in the motorcycling community who finds it ridiculous:
The STK1000 race was red flagged due to technical issues for Marino spoiling the track with oil. As 3/4 race distance had been completed the riders got ranked based on the last completed lap, since which Marino even lost a place. So the rider who was unable to complete the official race distance (and in my ranking should have been a DNF) actually benefited from a technical error
Why not pull a string to inject oil in the exhaust as soon as minimum distance has been run and you are under pressure?
The SSP600 race at Lausitzring also had a red flag end with less than 100% fair results...
Is anybody apart from myself questioning the correctness/fairness of the rules? I mean at the organizators' or teams' level?
