Obviously the guys in the lanes on his left and right created a small, yet forceful enough bow wave when they broke out of the turn that he was able to get a boost from their forward momentum.
Yeah..that's how he did it. ;)
Nice theory except, since he was ahead, he would be in front of everyone else's bow wave.
