While watching the Moto 2 class on TV at The Gran Premio Bwin De Espana Circuit Sunday night l was amazed with the actions of the Marshalls who ran out onto the track while the race was still running to pick up a bike which a rider had fallen off which was lying near the edge. Yellow flags were being waved to let fellow riders know that there was an incident ahead.
Also there was another incident where a rider had fallen off his machine but managed to get back up on his feet and pick his bike up and then he was trying to restart it with the help of the Marshalls pushing his bike with the rider on it right.
Once the bike started and the rider continued on with his racing the Marshalls then ran off the track on the opposite side they entered.
I remember a few years back where Marshalls had gone out onto the track to help fallen riders while the race was still going and lost their lives by being hit by Riders who were still Racing and never saw them until it was too late.
I know the track needs to be cleared but isn't it safer to clear it once all of the bikes have passed the area and then it is safer for the Marshalls to go onto the track to retrieve fallen machines without putting their lives at risk?.
Your thoughts!!!!
