Jace tried to pass him during the 'U' ramp but he just followed Jace up. Which was a detriment to both of them since they both slowed down. They then continued for a bit longer until they came up to the downward turn.
Jace began slowing down until he could feel the wind resistance. As he did heard the announcer who was focused on the front runners a moment ago. "HOLD UP. IT LOOKS LIKE JACE THE SPECTRE IS UP TO SOMETHING. HE SLOWED DOWN AHEAD OF THE DOWNWARD TURN. THEY HAVE AN ASTRONOMICAL LEAD ON THE OTHER RACERS SO HE DOES NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BEING PASSED. BUT STILL- WHAT IS HE UP TO?"
Jace took a deep breath and followed the others as soon as the downward turn happened. As he entered the tunnel he pressed a few buttons and the hoverbike flew straight down on the side that would become the roof at the bottom while the others were slowly rotating to the other side. He then leaned forward and pushed the handles forward.
