Actually it means hold your line.... Watch the replay before you start talking shit.

I initially thought it was stews fault too until the replay played....

Marvin was out of control. James and Ryan were straight as an arrow.

Blue flag on the last lap he should have yielded in those whoops a little and let them go.

Jesus Stew. He really didnt need to go through that section like normal. He should have checked up, I dont think Marv was expecting Stew to just keep hitting the rhythems like that

Hold your line and run the same pace at the race leaders on the last lap

Solid Blue Flag :
1. Indicates you are about to be overtaken by faster riders.
2. When conditions allow, move out of the fast line.
3. Hold your line (don’t ride erratically) and do not impede the
faster riders progress.
4. Riders disregarding the blue flag may be black-flagged at
the discretion of Race Director.

He should have conceded the position in the corner.

He's still not totally aware of what he's doing out there.


Side effect of brain damage.

James could have stayed inside after the corner and held his line too.

yeah, Stewart was awesome out there, did the right thing and didn't cost MM the win at all, super smart move on his part....I'll just say that instead of how I really feel for fear of being labeled anything or upsetting the JS7 mafia that trolls this place saying he never does any wrong....

There should be no blue flags, If you can't pass a lap rider then you don't deserve a win anyway. GO STEWART!

Held his line through the whoops on the left side... made the left hand turn held the line on the left side

He did concede, marvin got caught up worrying about what ryan was going to do.. and came in relatively hot into that turn, into james.. the arc of that corner from the inside is fucky.

Marvin was fine till he came up short.. cant blame anybody for that but the rider on that particular bike

I thought james was at fualt at first too. But upon the replays, you can see it wasnt the case.

That right there.
Stewart best get familiar with the blue flag rules. It is going to be apart of his life moving forward.

Watch the replay... If he went outside he would have hit marv..... if he woulda tried to slam on the brakes to take the inside he would have been in the same exact line he was except going even slower risking Dunge hitting him. He kept his line... Which is the safest thing to do.

I've seen plenty of crashes due to someone trying to change their line because they saw a blue flag. The faster riders are coming up on them and can make a line switch better than the person up front with no rear view mirror.

Why the heck does Stewart all of a sudden decide to turn on the gas...He's running slow enough to get lapped then all of a sudden he decides to turn the juice back on. Marvin must have been thinking..."what the hell is this guy going to do?"

Stewart is in the wrong here. He made a mistake and it was costly for Marvin. There's no way anyone can say otherwise. Stewart received multiple blue flags and had opportunities to move out of the way and didn't do so.

You guys that are blaming Stewart apparently didn't watch the replays he held his line but I still believe blue flags are for pussies...some people are fucktards though

I posted the rule there bud... read it. We are both right and stewart didnt impede anyone. You must first hold your line... Thats the only way to not impede someone in that situation. He was on the far left of the track... What would you like him to do? Cross jump to the middle? I believe that would have impeded more than HOLDING YOUR LINE like the rule says for you to do.
