First of all, what the hell was up with Ronnie Stewart's Moto 1 start. That was awesome! All the way from the outside I see this yellow speck just charging into the turn. It was like some Alessi shit.
2nd - What was up at the end of the race? A few guys had words with him. Peick laid into him, which isn't a huge deal, but even Wilson was getting after his ass and DW seems pretty chill. Obviously it was a lapper situation, but I don't think the coverage actually showed most of it. From what I saw, he was staying out of the main line, but there were 3 of them battling for position and it's a tight track.

I replayed the point right up to the,finish and it didnt seem like he did anything too bad, was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I'm amazed by these lappers. Everyone that have raced knows that you as a rider know everything in you surroundings during a race, he knew those riders were coming.
This is not only Stewart, we see these things every round from lots of riders.
Why don't you do something constructive like zoom in and count sprocket teeth and post suggested gearing changes to all your favorite riders? Visually check sprocket bolt torque while you are at it. I am sure they will appreciate your opinion and expertise.
Seriously though, expecting a lapper to move out of the main line is just an excuse for the front runners to save energy and get an easy pass. Everyone of them hopes lappers disappear for them and then hold up the next guy.
Next thing you know people will be calling for "no ruts" motocross.
Stewart was on the last lap and wasn't even close to anyone that he was racing at the time and still thought that taking the main line was a good idea.
We see this almost every week and that is the real joke.
You don't have to stop and wait for them to pass you but slow down a bit and take the slower line, its not that difficult. Just don't be in the fast line, please.

I'm not 100% on the wording of the rules but he said the lapped rider is not to impede the riders or the race that are coming upon him, they don't actually have to get out of the main line (again I'm not 100% on the wording). I feel like he said he thought someone he was racing was coming up on him.
Peick better be nice to Ronnie Stewart, the sport is small and rides aren't a plenty.
Did somebody interview him after the race?
