Ever since MotoGP for another racing weekend c Jerez introduced a stricter rule yellow flags, is much debated. Although everyone agreed that it should be in case of an accident ensure security on the track to the one who fell, and to the drivers who follow him, there has nevertheless been much criticism.
For example, in the qualifications for Czech GP is the driver of the KTM Espargaro Pol angry precisely because of the yellow flag that prevented him from jumping into the front row. The time of his round has been deletedbecause he improved it under the yellow flag.
There was no reason for his anger the signal of the flag itself, but how and where it was shown. “It is too late at the place where the yellow flag is displayed. I didn't see her, " said the Spaniard at the time. The signal was triggered when Cal Crutchlow (LCR Honda) fell in the 9th turn.
Also British is critical of the new yellow flag rule: “The time of the round was also deleted for me because I did not see the yellow flag in exactly the same bend. It's hard because you try and push, you see yourself getting better from sector to sector, suddenly someone falls and everything goes to nothing. ”
Crutchlow emphasizes that it understands the idea of a new rule: “I have been involved in such and other accidents and all in all it is anything but pleasant. But this has been and will be part of the motorcycle race and I know we all understand the risks well, ” he said British.
“Marshals always do a great job when they spot a racer. The question is whether the racer really sees the flags. ” Po Crutchlow's opinion, despite an accident in a particular sector, the time of the round should not be deleted.
This, of course, should ensure that they are the flag is clearly visible to the driver. Such as Asparagus in Crutchlow, is also Valentino Rossi considers that a step forward needs to be taken here. "Sometimes it's really hard to see the yellow flag from a motorcycle," he says Italian.
“Maybe we can improve the system. For the most part, the excursion zones are thankfully large. But that means the one waving the yellow flag is far away from the track. It would be good to find a way to make the flags better visible. Monitors like the ones they use in Formula 1 seem like a good solution to me, ” suggests The Doctor.
“We can put them closer to the track. I think this could help us see the yellow flag sooner. We sometimes talk about this in the Security Commission, and I hope we can improve on that. Because sometimes it's just hard to see a man with a flag on a motorcycle, ” he concluded VR46.
