Trakus has him losing about 49 feet in the first half mile. That seems like too much compared to what I saw. But he did lose a ton of ground overall.

The first turn is where I think it is wrong. I don't think this was calculated using the Trakus system as I said. He certainly lost a lot of ground but I think Trakus is exaggerating it.
