.COLT NICHOLS : 250 SX / SECOND PLACE
way around Decotis, the two would seemingly jab at one another, with Nichols delivering a strong enough punch
to push the Suzuki rider behind for good. It would be smooth sailing for the Oklahoma native, as he would stay upright and sound until the checkered flag would fly. His mentality would be filled with positivity as the gate would fall for the main event, and the number thirty-nine would register in fourth on the opening lap. Quickly transcending into third, three of the top prospects were in immediate conjunction of one another as the laps would begin to stack up. Hounding the number twelve of McElrath, the KTM wouldn’t budge, as Nichols would begin to stick a wheel in. After laps of knocking at the door, Nichols could take no more, and pushed McElrath aside just after the finish line, as they both dove into the following left-hander. Nichols, now second, would be just a bit too far out of reach to contest that of Adam Cianciarulo. However, he would walk away with a large sum of points, and remain the leader of the standings, as the tour would move ahead.
