It was mentioned multiple times throughout the broadcast. You have the volume turned down?

This was my POV.  Kyle Wise had tipped over just prior to being lapped by the leaders.  Masterpool and Deegan rolled the jump, but Hymas jumped it.

I was on the fence line right in front of the jump and had a great point of view. As mentioned, Kyle Wise went down between the double.  The flagger, for no apparent reason, immediately started waving the red cross flag.  Wise did not appear to be hurt nor was he unresponsive. He immediately got up and was trying to get off the track, he had his bike started and was clear of the track when Hymas came over the jump.

Masterpool and Deegan rolled the jump (yes the red cross flag was still being waved even as Wise was riding 10 ft off the track). 

I fully understand you must roll jumps on a red cross flag, but I would very frustrated if I was in the Hymas camp.

You gotta see the flag. No one to be frustrated with other than himself. If there had been a rider down he would have hit him.

flag doesn't require an injured rider. its waved to keep guys from leavin the ground if theres a risk of hitting bike or rider. don't matter how fast wise got up

The Red Cross lights/ flag may be waved/flashing long after the rider leaves.

 

There has to be an adequate gap so no one can jump and land on any riders rolling it just ahead of them.
