I understand the argument against helmet radios for rider safety, even though I haven't made up my mind about it. However, how hard would it be to wire an LED light strip to every handlebar? Divide the track into segments for every straightaway and corner. You could have it sync'd with the transponder so that if you enter a "cross flag" section (determined by the AMA up in the booth on a computer), your red light goes off. Same thing for yellow flag sections with a yellow light. For blue flag scenarios, the blue light could automatically go off if a person AHEAD of you in position is BEHIND you on the same section. It seems like we have the technology to do this right?

Her exact words:
Why is that white bike holding up the leader ?
If he wasn’t held up he would have won...
She knows nothing about moto, so pretty obvious to me.
Anyway, like others have said in here it’s better for Roczen to look ahead. I understand he’s pissed, but he has nothing to gain with whining about what happened...
You might inherit my “down voters”!
On the second last lap on the left before the table on-off, there is a blue flag waving right in Dean's sight line. Prior to that Ferrandis actually looks over pulls over on the start straight even though he was trying to pass Dean, effectively taking himself out of that possibility. Dylan certainly had a lot more awareness of what was happening, but he also had Roczen get alongside him in the whoops.
Moving on to where they are behind Dean, the guy with the blue flag in the sand section on that lap, he's just standing there holding like 8 feet off the track. Not waving it at all. Then after getting the white flag they hit the whoop section and the flagger is way off to the right, I doubt Deano could see that one. But why couldn't there be a blue flag out of the turn after the whoop section, just before the mechanics area? I mean the riders in theory are already looking that direction for the pit board. EDIT: In the post-race replay with different camera angle there is flagger across from the mechanics area, riders left. Dude his holding the blue flag out behind him with the yellow flag wrapped and pointing toward the riders. WTF??
A couple laps before all the action, I also noticed a guy just waving a yellow flag along the whoops and there was no rider down or obstruction. I bet if one goes back through most SX races we can find a lot of flagger shortcomings.
As much as everyone wants to completely burn Dean Wilson at the stake here, on that second last lap the only blue flag he legitimately SHOULD have seen was the one before the tables. It sucks for Ken, and it sucks for Dean.
Seriously, what exactly is this flagger doing here?

Deanos the man. Great dude, just made a mistake. Kenny’s lack of aggression and poor line choices lost him the race.
