I still do not fully understand all this.I have heard two reasons for the red flag being shown,both of them feasible,but I still don't see the reasoning for those riders who were red flagged,not being classed as finishers.As we all know,there will be an initial large gap between the first away and the back of the grid,thus creating almost half a lap difference between the fastest,first away,and the slower last away,making it almost impossible for the latter to go full distance without being lapped.It was not their choice to do 5 laps,so why were they not classed as finishers,and do they receive a finisher's award? If not,then something is wrong.
