Louis qualifies via AVG: 55:14 and feels like the underrated technician: efficient movement, controlled breathing, and no wasted effort. Those athletes often outperform expectations in Majors because they don’t fall apart when the spotlight hits.
Phoenix storyline: quiet scalp-hunter. Louis doesn’t need attention — he needs clean stations and a steady squeeze. If the race gets scrappy, he can be the athlete who benefits from everyone else’s mistakes. Don’t be surprised if Louis spends the whole race “just outside” the cameras… and then suddenly finishes top 8 because he simply didn’t break.
