The woman announcer spends the whole race discussing anecdotes and quotes. It's so frustrating. RG3 tried to get her to actually discuss race tactics and she immediately evaded and inserted another quote.
Midaway through the race I was like, "This might be the first time I've ever seen someone lose a race from being boxed." to me being boxed in is the most over talked thing ever.
However, I'm not sure that's why he lost. Id like to see a replay but don't think I can rewind it.
Yeah, it was more like he gambled that it would open up but it didn't until it was too late for him to catch the winner. Maybe he doesn't catch him, regardless, but it looked to me like he just miscalculated. He could have come out earlier but he gambled that the box would open. It did and he was closing but he didn't go soon enough. So, maybe not boxed totally but being boxed was an issue that he mishandled.
I have to watch again but I think he was in that box before the bell. He kept taking lead, slowing it down, but finally let someone get in front of him and the box formed around him.
