I did wonder if they were a "series" thing more than a team thing cause it didn't exactly seem like a Philthy thing to do and I noticed they went out when he got passed

I think they are a good idea. Helps people in the stadium that have bad eyesight or that may be new to the sport keep track of the leader.

They were the perfect brightness too, not distracting but still very noticeable.

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that it seems like RC does not like talking about Phil? Every round so far he's ridden pretty good and Lee and Blair give him coverage and it seems like RC just wants to change the subject asap??

I want to be in the meeting that came up with ' lets put lights on the leader, and then who decided Filthy Phil should have them. 

Of all the insanity of A2, this was the most bizzarre.

Wonder if that helps lappers know when its the leader coming up strong

I couldnt tell if I was just seeing some kind of crazy reflection graphic/sticker or what for a bit. 

I honestly like it, should that extend to the top 3 with maybe different colors?

After listening to the Pulp Show last week, I thought they were warning lights to keep people from landing on him when he doesn’t hit the jumps.

The lights on Phil's bike are an experimental thing to see if they could put lights on the leaders...of course Phil gets picked as a test pilot....AND NOW HE IS ACTUALLY LEADING

Thanks!

Wow....I hope they don't go this route.    Dumbing down the sport for non-existing "new fans".     If you're a fan, you know where the hell the leader is.

We will see more of this . I don’t have a problem with it as long as they don’t go overboard with the concept .

This. The actual odds of that happening. Who was in the room?  How long did the figure they would have to wait, could have taken all year to “test” or was it a stunt to put some actual fire on Phil’s ass? What a phenomenon????

"LETS GROW THE SPORT!!" 

"Who cares about new fans, Let's stay core. Bring back two strokes and open-faced helmets."

I think the lights are a good idea, especially when the leaders are coming into lappers. They're subtle, but could be effective.
