A question i'd like some info on is the "lack of adhesion" flag meaning - lack of adhesion from what exactly ?? water ?, treated oil spill ? coolant ? the same flag goes out for a rain shower as goes out for cement dust in the road and there's a huge difference in grip

The interpretation Alfie of the Adhesion flag is basically that the track surface is compromised , so ride to what you can see , we do not have enough flags to give a detailed account  of what is causing the compromise and if we were to hold out a board telling them just what the problem is they would not have time to read it , 

To me ! in my way of looking at it , the information we can give a rider with flags is very basic , and the same information that any flag can give boils down to the same thing RIDE TO WHAT YOU CAN SEE !! ROUND THE CORNER THERE IS SOMETHING AMISS   we can say no more 

we can not give any more detail than that , some are saying they should drop to a given  speed under a yellow ,  but sorry no that is not the case at some incidents riding past at 80mph with caution  would be fine , but at others 30 mph would be too much as we wanted them to stop , 

so to riders I say , please respect any flag you come across it may be your chance not to become part of an incident , and it maybe my life you are putting in danger if you ignore them , and you are short enough of marshals as it is
