Pete lost his chip somewhere along the course. I think he is still down there looking for it
.
To make matters worse if you look at his Strava and Greg Callaghans he was faster than him in some places such as the Expressway. He was definitely heading for a podium if not top step
Alas though we will never know how fast Pete actually was.
Just good thing he is not the type to have a chip on his shoulder
