New to watching, keep hearing people talk about tomorrow’s race being a “flag to flag” and to me that just sounds like any race since there’s a green starting flag and checkered finish flag. What am I misunderstanding?
Track goes from dry to wet.
Also that they keep two bikes with different tires to swap out as needed.
I was trying to find a good reference but all I could find was bloated SEO garbage.
I think the deal is that a flag-to-flag race is not red flagged when it starts to rain. Instead the riders can switch bikes, which is not normally allowed.
I agree that technically all races are flag to flag, but yes, when they say “flag to flag” they mean a wet race where the riders are allowed to change bikes when conditions change - instead of just stopping the race.
Flag to flag coverage? Means the whole race is covered by the media.
