Both interesting points - but the question is - if all riders didn't come off for the reasons that you mention, then the issue is with the rider that did.

If you have a field of 25 bikes and 24 of them manage with the oil/rain/etc. but one doesn't, then surely by definition, the red flag will be his/her fault since for whatever reason, they were unable to cope with the conditions. Ditto with mechanical issues - that's the team's problem!

The only instance where I don't think that would apply is if they're deliberately taken out by another rider.
