DC I am sure your people are qualified, but I witnessed some of the worst flag work at the turn before the finish line at Red Bud . When I see flaggers standing or even with their backs turned to the track while riders are in very dangerous positions upsets me. A random guy jumped the fence to keep a guy from being run over while the flaggers did nothing.
When Malcolm was wadded up in a rut , the flagger was moving his bike while the front of the pack was bearing down on him. Whoever was on the little dirt bike running that part of the track was awful.
Riders deserve better DC.

In that scenario someone who isn't afraid of being hit by a bike needs to be the flagger and put themselves at the blind face or the spot of no return for oncoming riders and get them to check up completely. That took about a minute at redbud.... Which is why everyone is ragging on the flaggers. At the end of the day it's hard to find good help, I get that, and I'm sure the Ritchie's did their best to staff competent people.
