Anyone else expect this dude to be on the box frequently this year? Always had the speed to hang with the front runners and now he's got a great team and is coming off a championship run in aus.

Anyone know what coast he'll be on?

I'm going to go out on a limb here, but I really don't see him as a top 3 guy. Unsure

I agree with you. I think he can do it on rare, special occasions. But I don't see him doing it with regularity. Maybe he proves me wrong though. Time will tell.

I've always wondered how he goes from having strong performances indoors at SX and then doesn't seem to do as well outdoors. Maybe this will be a breakout year for him. If it's not, it'll be the beginning of the end for good rides I think.

Holshot and top runners half out B/C injury perhaps, healthy field 5-10th at best. Way too many kids willing to risk life and limb to a vet to podium in that class.

I think so. They kid did extremely well last year to be a privater IMO. He did it all last year, poor kid had to be worn out! He can actually focus on riding now and not being a one man show. Add the confidence is bringing from the AusSX championship should help too!

He led lots of the NY supercross last year. I think he's more serious this time.

I wouldn't be surprised if he snags at least one podium, and a few top 5's.

Jimmy will have his best season yet but I still think that just means being in the top 10 consistently

I would agree with that statement. I can see him consistent top 10 as well. With some standout performances here and there.

I am waiting for the "This is Jimmy Fawking D!!! The Rippa!!!" comments with way unrealistic expectations. He did better last year than I was expecting, hopefully he can improve this year again.

1 Top 5 and 5 top 10s, most being 6ths. Had 3 bad races in the teens. Finished 8th in points in 2015.

Flying to the races, time to train properly and have a good base not coming off injuries, bike is completely taken care of and the confidence winning the ASX championship WILL improve Mr. James Decotis results.

He had a fill in ride before, remember him telling the truth about the fill in ride for Gieco years ago, said on the DMXS show it just isn't what most people think it is.

Now is the real opportunity.

His popularity stems from ripping a 125 and having a good personality. Simply the good guy under dog thats clawing his way up.

You could have posted the same type of list about Weston Pieke a few years ago, what now?

From the vault it looks like Peick is coming in right around the same spot overall in series as some people here are saying Decotis will in his class.

Peick still hasn't won a main or moto, neither has Decotis. In fact, he's only stood on the podium one time.

I'd say the comparisons are similar. Both made it on to a great team. Neither are going to win the championship. It'll be some standout rides, but otherwise not in contention for overalls on a regular basis.

how can you compare Pieck with Jimmy D s results , getting a 3rd in the 450 class and loads of top 5 s even on a privateer bike . compared to jimmy D who s best result is a 5th in the 250cc class, on the weaker of the two coast s . there not even on the same page as far as results go .

If he is training like he says he is, he'll be on the box. I think that's all he's been lacking. Injuries forced him to be behind in his program in years past.

you think FC Honda hired him to win the championship and be on the podium every week like some people are saying . the op asked where he d finished ,i just think he will be behind all these riders most races .he ll be a solid top 10 guy ,and thats why FC honda hired him imo .nothing wrong with it . but when has he ever shown the speed to win. never ! if i made a thread about vince freise wining races and being on the podium every race . people would be up in arm s over it saying i am mad , yet vince has shown far more speed and way better results than Jimmy . jimmy seems like a cool guy and i really hopes he proves me wrong . but going on history , how is he all of a sudden going to win races just because he is on a great bike. i would doubt he ,himself thinks he is

Not sure who said he had the speed to win.
"Be on the box frequently" is not unrealistic at all. Great team, great off season, a lot better than last year where he had solid finishes.

Last year you could as well have listed plenty of guys that were faster than McElrath (ON PAPER) and still he had two 2nd place finishes and finished 3rd in points in a stacked west coast lineup

Actually there was that one mud race a few years back that he looked to have the speed to win. Can't remember which race, but it happened. Tongue

Mostly top 5's, a podium or two and a couple outside top tens. This is of course if he stays healthy. He has the speed for these results provided it stays on two wheels.

Jimmy seems to have his head on straight & his training figured out. He already had speed & with a great bike I think he can do damage. I won't make any predictions, but I don't think podiums are out of question.

He knows its go time in his professional career. Hopefully he forges his way to the front at what I would call a career crossroads for him.
