The only closely contested championships in motorcycle racing these days are the support classes. The most interesting one out there is the AMA Supersport series which can and will come down to the last race of the season. The Road Atlanta race was sure fun to watch, what with all the lead changes, the upcoming Martin Cardenas, and the battling veterans all racing quite closely. It was too bad the backmarkers influenced the outcome of the race. They affected the leaders on the last two laps by not simply getting themselves out of the way. No I don't mean just holding your line and letting the leaders pass you, I mean get out of the way! Pull off the racing line and let the race happen. I know you're vying for that $50 cash payout or that 28th place position but it's just not that crucial. Both times the lapped riders got in the way on the final turn which has only one real line through twelve and both times they were not battling for position.
Just pull over and shut it down. That blue flag is not there for your viewing pleasure. It actually means something!
