Luca frowned when he saw Ansel's drop in position on the leaderboard.
It wasn't only the pitstop that had relegated him; he must have suffered earlier overtakes.
"Darn you, Ansel. It's just one point. Hold on to it."
Luca wasn't even sure what he was in support of. Was he actually interested in Ansel's progress, or was he interested in Ansel's previous position as the barrier between the upper half of the pack and the lower half, where a smaller yet impactful group of rivals were creeping up from?
