And he did pass Tomac and disappear in Moto 3.
And what happens when someone wins the Overall without winning a single Moto?
Do we need to always have an asterisk that says who won, and who was really the fastest?
I think -- whether you mean to or not -- that you're arguing the "one final winner-take-all race" mentality, which is never what motocross has been about. Dorna tried that for a while when they owned the commercial rights to FIM motocross, and it was a mistake.
Asterisk? Indicating what? And you can win a season series without winning a single race, so why would you need to win a race for an overall?
That said, I don't think the commentators paid enough attention to the overall standings for the night, and, as we've discussed on another thread, I don't think championship points should be awarded based on the overall, because there may be no incentive to gain positions in Race 3.
F1. MotoGP. MXGP. Screw the rest.
