The End Of The Race

"Elijah, stay on alert," Elijah heard his crew chief say. After Sandro forced Pierce out of the race, Elijah knew that he had to be alert. He should have noticed the tricks that Sandro was playing during the first stage. But now that his head is clear and focused on the race, he could already notice the subtle harassment that Sandro is doing to the other racers. 

His mother had already warned him about that. She said that despite your focus on the race, there were outside forces that could throw you out of the race. Not everyone plays fair and Elijah had seen that. 

"I got it," Elijah replied. He is back in the seventh spot. In front of him were the top contenders but among them was Sandro. He plans on staying behind Sandro until the third stage.
