Unfortunately I was a bystander in that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cI also don\u2019t think five seconds was good enough of a penalty for the outcome.<\/p>\n \u201cI wouldn\u2019t wish this pain on my worst enemy, that\u2019s for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n Crompton said it was clear there was going to be two sides to the contact debate.<\/p>\n \u201c(Golding) tries to fire up the inside \u2026 makes light contact. I think Murray was starting to tighten that line down,\u201d Crompton explained.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s going to be wildly different views about what\u2019s right and what\u2019s wrong here.<\/p>\n \u201cGets him in the right rear \u2013 did he tag him or did the gap diminish? Depends on which team you\u2019re barracking for as to what your viewpoint is going to be.<\/p>\n \u201cThese are tough calls. It\u2019s a great save.\u201d<\/p>\n As for Golding\u2019s view on the penalty, when interviewed by speedcafe.com<\/a> he had not had a chance to look at the broadcast view of the incident. <\/p>\n \u201cI need to have a look at the replay. I thought the move was on, I had to have a go at it, I\u2019m unsure what it looks like from TV but the contact was just enough to turn Cooper,\u201d said Golding.<\/p>\n \u201c[In] wet conditions, it doesn\u2019t take much. [It was] touch and go, I\u2019ll have to have a look.\u201d<\/p>\n The moment that cost Cooper Murray the lead with five laps to go.Source: FOX SPORTSAnd the end result as Cooper Murray was turned around.Source: FOX SPORTS<\/p>\n Golding ended up copping a five-second time penalty for that contact.<\/p>\n So despite making his way past Matt Payne for the lead in the penultimate lap and crossing the line first, Golding eventually finished in third<\/a> once the penalty was applied.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1760217130_889_poster-fallback.png\"\/)
