So the leaders veer off-course (their mistake) for about 20 seconds, and he wins by well over 3 minutes.
What's the problem?
I guess they're claiming that Luke should have waited for them? Why? So he could win by only 2:45 seconds instead??
Something similar happened to me in a half marathon once and it still pisses me off that the guy who went off course claims THAT is why he lost. Such BS. I was closing in on him when he veered the wrong way and he lost MAYBE about 15 seconds. I won by over 2 minutes...but he claimed afterwards he would have won had he not gone the wrong way.
It is a big mental thing going off course, tough to recover from. Plus we're all competitors, understandable the guy would claim what he claims.
