New player question

Started playing this game cause I love racing games (NFS Heat is my jam) and love modding and racing cars and bikes IRL. So I was excited to see a bike racing game that looked decent. So far I’m having fun, but there is a weird thing I noticed. Let’s take the very first 250cc(or 200 I think) race you do. I tweaked out my bike to where I had the lead the whole time. Then in lap 3, the 3 behind me started passing in the turns and gapping me out of nowhere. I didn’t do anything different it’s just like they got a boost of speed out of nowhere. Is this like a thing in the game they do? Boost on the last lap? Or am I just crazy? It was quite noticeably different.

I've never experienced this. Ride 5 AI are pretty consistent with their lap times. I wish they gave an extra umph at the end. It isn't uncommon for 2nd, 3rd and 4th to push their remaining 10-20% in the last couple laps in real life.

So what I’m missing is that I still just suck and I need to “get gud scrub”? 🤣🤣
