So that is why he was so slow.What gets me is you can see the muscles that tells you he works out regularly, but I assume it must be in a warm safe gym because he shows no signs that he has done 'real hard' work beyond sitting at a desk.
I know the scenes we get to see are edited, but they can't edit in something that did not happen. And time and time again we see him complaining or slowing down when other racers (male and female) race ahead and get a task done.
