Late afternoon bikers

Moto3 of the Americas was on a shambles of a track, very civilized and soon became well strung out. Two long laps for a jump start? Crumbs! McPhee was up to 3rd and he’d done a fastest lap on lap with 11/17 to go when a crash stopped the race with a red flag.
    A 5-lap dash was to follow. McPhee was leading at half-way when a Gangbusters!! crash with flying bikes brought out another red flag. Through sheer good luck, no one was killed and the 3 involved were walking about within minutes.
    The result was declared on the basis of the first 7 laps, which put McPhee 3rd. Full points awarded? That shouldn’t have happened. The winner was a kid who was throwing a tantrum in his garage because his bike croaked during the 2nd stint!
