Riders say "we" for a reason. They win or lose with their team. I don't blame Ben for failing to have enough gas. That's someone else's job. And I don't blame the tech when Ben loses the front. That's Ben's job. Either way, the team didn't get it done.
But that's a different question from whether his failure to finish the race resulted from rider error or not. If his engine blew up in the last turn, no one would be saying it was rider error. But it would still be the fault of the team.

massimo meregalli offered some insight into the ben spies fuel issue from race 1. the team refrigerates the fuel tanks so the fuel is more dense and they can, effectively, put more fuel (about 5%) in the tank.
due to the redflag situation, the tank/fuel temperature "normalized" resulting in insufficient fuel when they topped it off.
