I wondered if RL wasn't attempting to use Rapp to hold everyone else up for a few laps. IIRC the announces said Hacking had to win the race to win the championship, so letting Herron pull a decent gap would seem to make sense. If I am wrong I blame Ralph. Remember Gabor Talmacsi?
Don't know if the orders came from Kawi. Stanboli knows where his bread is buttered and he knows that one of his riders impacting a championship for Kawi could have consequences.
