"Unjust"? May be termed a close call, controversial decision, whatever else, but it sure wasn't unjust. As Welsch said at the time, felt 50-50 and could be understood either way. Personally, I turned to a guy next to me while they were still 50 yards out and said the leader was coming down. I usually need the head on to see what happens in those cases, but could tell here Saez had carried Lopez out at least 3 paths. As CJ said, you hope for consistency in what they look at and how they adjudicate and the GP stewards have actually had a better winter than usual. Certainly feel awful for the ticket holder who has to absorb this kind of outcome, but the game has vagaries that test you constantly.
