BTW copy paste doesn’t make you intelligent and informed.
That's the only reason I can see to be bitching about this in what, the third thread?
The rules are the rules. Cam didn't break any, and they can't change them mid-race to suit you. Crybaby.

The rules need to be looked at but what a ride by mcadoo and it would be a shame to not have that storyline but it is clear it could exploited should a rider want to.
Would not have mattered in AC's case. Once the race is 3 laps in you can't rejoin the race if you were the red flag rider. You cannot line up for staggered start after you cause a red flag. It was way past 3 laps. Heres the rules for all restarts:
