I don't even think he's come in much better than a 20th place yet...I know he hasn't been inside the top 15.

because the officials had to watch the replay to determine if the rider was the reason the gate failed, like if he was up against it preventing it from falling, or if it was really a malfunction....which after watching the review, it was determined that the gate itself was to blame, and not the riders fault.
if you scroll up to the 1:30 mark...the official explains it.

Yeah I know that but how many laps did they run before they red flagged it?
6 laps?
How long does it take to review the tape?
Then, how long does it take to make the decision?
Then you have the guys out there wearing themselves out... and the other guy has less practice on the current track conditions..
I don't know, it just seems like it should have happened a bit quicker...
At least nobody had deflated balls :-D

It did take a bit longer than it should have. You could tell he did not obstruct the gate as soon as ya saw the replay!! No deflated balls just deflated ego's!! Not gunna drop names but Bowers musta been butt hurt. Ooops :lol:
Foxx4Beaver:
does it really matter at this point?....you asked a question...you got an answer...if you don't like how the officials handled it, write to them...not sure what else to tell ya. :-)
