I was furious about how it was handled. The race should have been red flagged, and medical emergency teams rushed to the spot to assist immediately. Instead, there was kato being dragged around like a rag doll by corner workers who seemed only interested in clearing the track. I concede that in the heat of the moment, with the race not being stopped they may not have had any other choice, and were thinking about other riders going down on the debris or hitting Kato, but who gives the decision to red flag?
Very badly handled. I am steamed at Suzuka.
