and faced with the chequered flag when you were expecting the white flag, wouldn't you just hammer one more lap anyway just to be sure?

The track worker was at the exit of the next corner waiving them off.

Why? You race to the checkered flag. You get that, the race is complete. And like mentioned above, the track workers were waving them off.

Typically, white flag is a courtesy, checkered flag is final.

I guess if it was contested, he had enough evidence to point at the waved checkered flag. Try making that split second decision though

That brought back bad memories of pulling off on a white flag at Whitney, in the lead, thinking it was a checkered. My Dad rarely got hot at my races but he chewed my ass out for that one. I was taught if there's any question take another lap.

Essentially, you might get 2 white flags, or none at all, and it has no impact on the race results. A checkered flag is final, and directly impacts race results.

If I was Colt Nicholls, I'd be stoked that my name is so similar to AMA Pro, Colt Nichols' name. Cool


EDIT: Just teasing you, OP...

If I'm Colt Nichols I'd be thinking that this year looks like my buddy Justin Bogle's '14 and that's good but I'll rack up as many bonuses as I can before moving up to the big boys.

If I were him? This would be me looking at images of #1 plates while realizing the current state of the rest of the field

I'm not saying he is gay, but he does have some interesting tags on his instagram.

White flags are courtesy flags. If they show you ten white flags, keep going until you see the checker. After taking the checker, you decide to take another lap you might "earn" a penalty. If they wave you off the track, go.

I guess I might not have the confidence in the AMA making a good decision. If Colt pulled off and everyone else continued on, the AMA might decide to make a poor decision. Of course, the team would contest it and will have some seriously good grounds to win.. but who needs that hassle when you can just ride another lap? Call it a parade lap afterwards if you're worried about being penalised for it.. a fast parade lap, with a few waves to the crowd.

Nor sure in supercross, but lots of races end early or you get cut off for whatever reason. Checkers are finito
