I'm not sure if this is a thing or just me but the trusty old S10 seems to run quite a bit differently from the legendaries. Firstly it is slower, but not by much but I feel like it carries momentum from hitting gates like nothing else. But if you miss even one it drops to pathetic speeds. It goes from like 130 down to 95 compared to 110 on a legendary if you miss one. It's also weaker blows up more often is harder to control its pushed around more by other sparrows. I've been able to get 2nd place a lot especially with 6th place comebacks.

Not to mention it corners better than any other sparrow.
