you mean by winning?

[BMFR6]

either that or he means getting pushed off track.... twice.

on top of how fast spies is and how quickly he is picking up the new tracks, i also have to hand it to his team. that R1 is brand new and they are able to help spies get the most from it.

[brady]

no, like forgetting bad things happen when you're near Biaggi in heavy traffic at the start of a race!

[nmendell]

Here's hoping he's figured out the whole Xaus Avoidance Protocol, too.
