As much as I like the underdogs to win from time to time, attacking by drafting behind the (neutral) car was a bit too much. If the decisive moves are done this way, why watch such a race?
Even the french TV commentator said: "he's smart, taking advantage of the car!" Huh?
Btw: after his jump behind the car, he did also a bit of moto drafting. But that seems "normal" these days...
