From what I could see Lava Man did not gain the lead until the last couple of jumps and for him to say AP Xcellent falls to third just made me wonder what race he was watching.

When Lava Man moved to AP X, Vic made the assumption that AP X was packing it in and with Molengao joining the fray from the outside, he called called him third. 9 times out of 10, that is probably what would have happened. In this case, AP X dug in, Molengao flattened out and Vic was very wrong.

I still put Vic in my top 5 current racecallers, because of his enthusiasm and obvious love for the game.
