Yeah fair enough. Disappointment is subjective, so we're all going to have different takeaways.

The disappointment for me was because the race was lost today. Pog cracked so hard his other rivals gained significant time on him while Vinge extended to an insurmountable lead. If Vinge attacked and Pog couldn't follow, it would have been one thing, but it's always disappointing seeing someone crack so hard they go backwards.

I don't particularly fanboy over anyone, so for me it takes a bit of the excitement away when someone dominates, as it detracts from the racing.
