It was doubly important that #8 held fifth position. Had the #8 not topped the #7 at the end of all of that, the winner is DQ'ed without question.
Admittedly it seemed that the long delay was for reasons of simply trying to figure out just where to place the original winner.
It would be expected that the rider will be penalized.

Huh?
The 10 didn’t touch the 3.
