Saw Gallagher talking about that they looked at a replay upstairs... I didn't know they did that..?

I surely hope no one in charge is dumb enough to think this place is a vane marking the winds of reason.

The gate malfunctioned, race starts over when they verify. End of story.

They didn't learn anything from the "The Cup" start gate fiasco?

All eyes in the stadium are on the start and nobody in an official capacity is watching the gates? Should have been flagged a lap or two in not almost halfway thru the race.

Switch Cooper Webb with Mookie on the restart and this place would go nuts. LOL

it would take more than one official to watch all 22 gates, its unusual and hard to pick up one gate malfunctioning, and you would have to check to see that the rider did not hold it up himself,

It was the right call to red flag the race.


But they shoulda let Reed complete the race and then make the decision, that way there is a result in case he wins an appeal.

That stupid red flag cost Cole TV Time! Boycott the starting gates!!!
I was gonna say something about that. So Ralph Says Touchdown during a Cooper Webb pass. Then calls Mookie Malcolm Smith. Then Gallagher dicks around for 6 laps before making a decision to red flag a race after taking 2.2 seconds to BLACK FLAG a rider. Then Seely Nation gets screwed out of his interview.

Agreed,I understand how passionate these riders are but it just looked really unprofessional.

gate screws the 16, tv shows a replay of 16 gate failure in slo mo on big screen at around 5th lap in. same time, the 17 is finally holding down first and the 16 is moved up to 15/16th from 17th..
my take is, team Husky bitched at ama,but said go race..
slo mo on big screen shows to world around lap 5 ,gate fucked up.
AMA thinks,oh shit.flag the race....
webb acts like a selfish little kid.he has no idea why red flag is out,but acts like an 80cc spoiled brat.
as far as he knew, somebody could of landed in a jump lifeless .2 seconds earlier.
