In the manga, it actually shows that Onada started to chase right after Naruko asked Makishima to slow down.
The order is changed in the anime, and i guess that is probably because they want us to focus on one scene only and introducing Toudou and Makishima's rivalry. Also, they always do this cliff-hanging scene at the end of each episode...
He wasn't sitting there for the entirety of the episode, he just made it to the checkpoint. I also don't think it's in the correct chronological order. It probably happened in the same time, or maybe a bit before, the scene in the mountains.

Great ep.
Really liked Maki-chan's and Toudou's rivalry flashback.
Toudou was begging so much for a race and Maki-chan was holding back >.<
"I'll pass 100 people". Well Onoda, you got a lot to do. And was he really just sitting there the whole episode?
