Dirt Wurx people are not flag marshalls... or are they?

Outside assistance to a rider on the course is forbidden at all
times except when the assistance is given by flag marshals or
officials placed by the Race Director for the purpose of control
and safety with the following exceptions:
1. Assistance by crewmembers is permitted only in the
designated repair and signaling zone.
2. Assistance by crewmembers is permitted from the starting
gate up through the first turn following the start of a race.
(first lap only) These crewmembers must be wearing a
special pass/armband.

I believe its different if the rider is trapped under the bike or injured. Plus they always do that to keep the track clear in supercross. He still lost a ton of time and had to start his own bike so I don't see a problem with it

AMA won't touch Stewart ... they actually fined Reed and then changed their mind after a review for nothing.

Did anyone watch supercross in the early 90's. They didn't fine people much then but now people's feelings get hurt if they get block passed hard and they want a penalty?

Bradshaw must be laughing.

You asked a question, that you already gave the answer to:


"except when the assistance is given by flag marshals or
OFFICIALS placed by the Race Director for the purpose of control
and safety"

Or maybe they're officials... I just thought it was weird to see Dirt Wurx guys helping him out although they might have done it before... I really don't care - I just wanted to see what the exact rule was for outside assistance and realised what happened was technically against the rulebook in a way...

Anyone should be allowed to help if the rider is in danger/could be hurt or whatever. I'm just saying that according to the rulebook, if Dirt Wurx people are not officials, JS should have been black flagged after he got going.
