If you can think of any other flags that we’ve missed out then add them into the comment section below. *It’s important to remember that there are some differences between race series and tracks which means that the flags aren’t always exactly the same. Here, we lift the lid on the different types of flags used during a race and what they mean. Without an understanding between marshals and their signals and riders, motorbike racing would be even more dangerous and impossible. That’s why riders need to learn the flags and why the role of marshals is vitally important to the safe running and coordination of a race weekend. Whether there’s a red flag on show, a yellow one with stripes or a white flag being waved, each one informs riders if there is some form of obstruction on the track ahead giving them vital time and notice to prepare to change the way they’re riding.īut with as many as six different flags, presented and waved in different ways, it’s vital to know what they mean and how you should alter your riding once you’ve spotted them.
While nobody wants to see a red flag during a race, they’re commonplace and unavoidable at most race weekends.
