You can't equate the two different things. Which I why I don't understand the logic of the question, never mind why it needs to be asked.

Looks like the first lap of 19 52 hit home on the return to Robinson. He looked good when he came into the Moot Hall after the CW round but clearly it didn't last. It was amusing to watch a number of people cheer him in and then look completely bemused when he just touched the door and headed back out again 😀
