Edited Date/Time:
I was watching a video of the last two laps at Assen and it got me thinking...
Herlings and Cairoli have lapped to 10th or 11th and are on their last lap. Cairoli can't be passed back by those riders he lapped at this point so I'm thinking technically he's already won the championship.
But what happens if, hypothetically speaking of course, he crashes and DNF's? Does he actually have to get the checkered flag or is he scored behind the last guy on the lead lap?
I'm sure this has happened before, maybe not in a championship scenario.
Anyway, just food for thought
