Exactly...confusion. I felt for the loan flag marshal watching the actions at the next point. In saying that 'if in doubt hang it out' flag that is. He does seem to go for a radio at some stage, why was he on his own when they seemed to be well manned further down?

Would love to know if there were flags being shown higher up, or were they just as confussed?
I hate to criticise, most marshals do a good job but they need support. I don't want to start a slanging match or start and endless debate.

I have been out of racing for 16 years and no doubt things have moved on but previously having had over 30 years of track side experience from marshal to sector marshal to chief marshal and clerk of the course I am not making my comments without concern for riders and officials.
