I remember that video. If I recall correctly, the rider made a last minute decision to pit in from the race line, no signal, leaving the CR with no place to go. That's why we stress proper procedure in the riders meeting. But at more events than I'd like to see, it gets violated, sometimes with very bad results.
There is a reason that, at every rider's meeting, it is pounded into your head that when you see a red flag, you PUT YOUR HAND UP FIRST...then back off the throttle to your 80% pace. Not your race pace, but hustle along fast enough so that all bikes get off track ASAP so the ambulance can roll out.
What is the difference in possible disastrous results on the track by not attending riders meeting and not paying attention at riders meeting!?Attending the mandatory riders meeting and paying attention to the mandatory riders meeting are two very different things. I see too many people goofing off in the back at some TD's during the meeting.
