A so the red flag was displayed after the leaders had already past the chequered flag then this is exactly the situation that arose in the Manx a couple of years ago the rules are quite clear on this and it would seem Eddie Nelson applied the rules exactly as they should be.

For those who doubt me and we all know who that will be here is it as copied for the ACU handbook


"Exception: if the race is interrupted after the chequered flag, the following procedure will apply:
4. For all the riders to whom the chequered flag was shown before the interruption, a partial classification will be established at the end of the last lap of the race.
5. For all the riders to whom the chequered flag was not shown before the interruption, a partial classification will be established at the end of the penultimate lap of the race.
6. The complete classification will be established by combining both partial classifications as per the lap/time procedure."




Well done Eddie Nelson
