would linger near the top of the leaderboard, reiterating to all that he could throw down a fast lap with anyone. Blitzing his way
through the whoops, and scrubbing the finish line to fullest extent, he would look over at his mechanic for a bit of reassurance. And after the acknowledgement, he knew he would be sitting well as the heat race would roll around. Locked and loaded for
the dropping of the gate, he would make his way to the lead almost immediately.
Literally swapping positions with that of Colt Nichols, Decotis would show no signs of backing down, nearly making the past permanent on the series leader through the
whoop section. Staying just at bay of the rear wheel of the Yamaha rider, Decotis’ stamina woes of the past seemed to be washed away, when he was holding off the likes of Ferrandis and Mosiman. Staying strong for the series of seven laps, he would come across the checkered flag refreshed, knowing that he did all he could to succeed. Fifth place to start the main event, his Suzuki would beam lights of radiation off of the reflection from around him. Moving up to fourth by lap seven, he would try his best to pace himself off the likes of Cianciarulo, McElrath, and Nichols in front of him. With a brief bit of shuffling going on around him, he knew he would have to stay focused in order to finish in a strong spot. However, around lap nine, it was RJ Hampshire who would mosey his way into the thought process of Jimmy D, as the Honda from behind would rev his engine loud. Hampshire would then unfortunately make his way around, pushing Decotis back to fifth. Finding a comfortable pace for remainder of the moto, Jimmy would land here, sporting another solid run for the JGR squad.
