[QUOTE="PSJBrock, post: 138317, member: 1050"] Here is where I am confused. They said Kurt Caselli crash around the RM 210 and broke his wrist. They then said that the "support" helicopter landed and loaded up Caselli to give him medical attention. This is what the helicopters are for."Safety Reasons" and I think it is well within the rules to do what they did. The problem I have is that KTM stated Justin Jones got "out of the Helicopter" and proceed with the race bike to the next pit. This is where I have a problem. One it clearly says in the rules the Helicopter CANNOT be used for rider transport. Having a rider in the helicopter gives KTM a HUGE advantage over the rest of the field. NOT COOL. Kawasaki was bitten by Baja when Heng went down with a broken leg 10 miles into his run. Taylor Robert had to unload Heng's practice bike and crossgrain it to Heng's location and then pickup the race bike and continue one. This is why Kawasaki was down almost an hour. I am not taking anything away from the KTM guys they rode an awesome race even through adversity, but I do think they broke the rules. Unless the new Score has changed them. [/QUOTE]
