Default bikes again

"he has run right the way down into the six zéros."

my problem here is to know if the pilot made a run under the 6 seconds (like 5.95 for instance) or around the six seconds (6.05).

It sounds like 6.0something to me.

It would have been better if you had provided more context. In any case, say under six seconds or around six seconds.
