To me it looked like the guy in the lead, LOOKED BEHIND HIM just prior to turn 2! Then BOOM, lost focus and everything! I know this is a race, but still . . . what does the STT coaches always say in Novice and Int ??? NEVER LOOK BEHIND YOU!!! lol
I didn’t see if he was looking behind. But he said he was battling for the lead, and downshifted to 2nd to get a good drive up the hill out of T1, but muscle memory made him downshift for T2, which would normally be from 3rd to 2nd gear, but this time put him in 1st, making the rear go crazy like a bucking bronco.
