After Ryan Dungey was penalized for jumping during a Red-Cross flag in the 450 main, Red Bull KTM team manager Roger DeCoster explained that Ryan’s line was on the outside of the turn and because of his line of sight he could not see the flagger who was on the inside holding the flag at waist height.Photo By Rich Shepherd
