So back in St. Louis we all remember RV passing on the yellow. Well TWMX brought that up in an interview on page 42 of the latest issue.
Question:
"Let's talk about St. Louis. You were leading the race, but Ryan Villopoto passed you under a yellow flag and went on to win. That was another instance where you kept your cool on camera."
--Now the last few questions dealt with him not screaming his head off like he did in Bubbas world. He has been saying he keeps cool now, no reason to get crazy and let his emotions get the best of him....
Now back to his response:
"Yeah, I was really fired up. . .rules are rules. . .and I thought that the FIM and AMA would get it handled. . .I talked to Reed and Millsapps that night, and we all agreed something would be done. . .later I talked to John Gallagher from the FIM and the lame-ass excuse he came up with about why nothing was done is was what pissed me off. This isn't a slap on Ryan Villopoto, this is a slap on John Gallagher himself because it shows how he makes up the rules as he goes and has such a bias towards certain racers. I know that if it were a privateer who did that, he would have been docked a lap without question."
Now I'm gonna have to agree with Stew on that one. Like him or hate him.....he's right. He went on to say that the flagger was holding yellow and another was yelling at him with a red cross but if RV see's both flags then he can pick which one he wants to follow, that one being yellow and Gallagher let him choose whatever he wanted.
Then he said they shouldn't of penalized rv on the restart if they let him get away with passing me (Stewart) because he passed Chisolm on a yellow and you can pass on yellows, you can't pass on reds. RV passing Kyle Chisolm was the penalty and it was assessed at restart. (again BS should have docked him 2 at the end of the race.)
Anyhow it's a good article.....if you don't subscribe just pick it up at the newstand.
