The leap was doable but you had to go so far outside that if anyone was racing you'd they'd easily just cut you off. Seeing people behind like Ferrandis doing the leap on someone who didn't made it obvious that going wider made up for it but was just overall too risky.
Yeah, but honestly it's so dangerous to have the lines funnel so that you could possibly land on someone who didn't do it but still faded outside because that's where the line was. It just wasn't a good combination, and I think making the leap completely doable is the safer option.

This is what got me. How are you gonna penalize people when the Red Cross flagger was standing on the landing of an almost blind takeoff? Yeah Ferrandis might’ve seen it first since he focused up front, Roczen chasing Ferrandis ducking roost probably seen it last second and it was already to late. Why wasn’t the guy closer to the takeoff?? In my opinion it was a bad call and just hurt Roczen in the end, nothing against Ferrandis just to make that clear.
There was a red cross flag going into the corner, but still doesn't make sense that they were penalized differently.
Yes it does..
You can read about the decision from DC himself on vital if you want. But the difference is explained in the actual rule.

2.10.b
ii. White and Red Stripe Flag (“Wheels on the Ground” Flag) and or Red and White flashing

passed the area of concern. Passing is NOT allowed. This flag and or flashing red and
white lights takes precedence over all other flags that may be displayed.
Penalty for

Think you got caught in a troll there.
