I don't have tevo so couldn't replay it, but it looked he like screwed up under that red cross flag in LCQ. Even after the section he kept looking back, like he was kind of freaking out.
If so and he had been penalized, he might not have made the main.

I can frame this one of two ways, and will get flamed no matter what I do - so here are two contradicting posts....
(Edit: did all this from my phone laying in bed - sorry for the formatting and multiple posts)
Here is proof
Tomac has no lead in time to see the flagger - and the flag was not fully waived for the first time until he was on the takeoff.
If you count a table top as two jumps like some people in here seem to do (I don’t), you could argue he also doubled a jump in the middle of the section.

Scenario 3:
Tomac could not prevent the first jump on the Red Cross as shown in scenario 2..... but after checking up upon seeing the flags - still had his wheels leave the ground over the table:
ITS AT THIS POINT HE LOCKS UP THE BRAKES
My view, but I am a bit of a Tomac fan
Tomac is a Monster athlete. RV has done questionable things in the past as well and they let it slide.
Pit Row
But as usual it's easier to just forego the facts and fill in the blanks with whatever to fit your narrative. It's not like a Monster Energy sponsored rider has never received a penalty before.
I'll say I take the layout we got over a simpler layout because "flagging could be trickier than normal".
