The results from Houston 2 are still not confirmed with a statement reading: “As of press time 450SX Class results had not been certified due to pending appeals with the AMA and FIM regarding flag rule infractions.”
It is believed the riders in question are Roczen, Anderson and Plessinger for jumping on a red cross flag after Sexton crashed.
If Roczen is penalised, it means he could lose the the red plate with the German only one point ahead of Barcia and two ahead of Ferrandis as the current results stand.
More as we get it…
*Update” It now looks like Roczen has indeed lost the championship lead, but it’s still all a bit confusing – latest here.
