It started pretty early , somewhere around 17 laps in , as that was when he started complaining about grip .
And , nobody could see any issue from the appearance of the top of the wing , so all and sundry were baffled about why Lance was all of a sudden going backwards .

Then folks started laughing about him being baffled about it , saying he just simply cooked the tires .
Then , they said the wing got damaged somehow by the tires being cooked .

The guy can't win , at least not with a busted front wing .
