00:00He's been choosing the same gate he had in Moto 1, pretty far outside of the box, or
00:04pretty far outside, just outside of the box, more it's further inside.
00:09Oh, here we go.
00:13Revs are up.
00:18Gates down.
00:25Is that Justin Cooper?
00:28I believe it is.
00:30Hunter nearly had it.
00:31But this time, Justin Cooper rectifies the start problems into the lead on the Omaha.
00:36This is what we've been waiting for.
00:37Ever since Thunder Valley, Justin Cooper hasn't been out front, so let's see what he can do.
00:41Felt like he had a pretty good pace, and Chase Sexton almost went down.
00:45He clipped it back in at Dylan Ferrandez in that first corner, so did a good job at saving
00:49it.
00:50But now, few positions back.
00:52Let's see what Justin Cooper and the 96 can do out front.
00:55Jason Anderson.
00:56Yeah, almost passed Hunter Lawrence for second.
00:59Still going for it.
01:00No love lost between these two.
01:02They've had multiple run-ins this year.
01:04Anderson with a run-in with our camera.
01:06Why do you do that, bro?
01:07You need that shot.
01:08Flirting, I'm going to say, with the track markers, and then back to battle with Hunter,
01:15who's all over Cooper.
01:16That's important for these guys to, one, they want to race each other.
01:20Clean air is pivotal.
01:21You want to keep that number one plate, but you don't want to slow each other down and
01:25let that number four come up.
01:26Maybe you can work together and get out, but I doubt for those guys that's going to happen.
01:31Let's see if Hunter Lawrence can get up the inside of Justin.
01:35Oh, Anderson, all kinds of aggressive up that hill.
01:42Still not enough to make the move.
01:44Now Lawrence side-by-side with Cooper.
01:47They worked on some parts of this racetrack and left some other parts, so Hunter was good
01:51here earlier.
01:53They worked that outside track.
01:57They put down some water, but it's not wet enough.
01:59These guys have to be really patient, so I think they can be aggressive on these opening
02:03laps, which it seems like they are.
02:06By the way, it is Ferrandez fourth, Nicoletti fifth, Sexton sixth, the first moto winner.
02:12As Cooper and Lawrence battle it out.
02:15These guys have had so many of these duels in their years in the 250 class.
02:19There's Sexton in the bottom.
02:22I think he's working on Nicoletti and Ferrandez as well.
02:25I don't know if chase went down.
02:26I thought he was ahead of his teammate.
02:29Aaron Plesinger is in front of him now.
02:33We'll reset it now.
02:35It is still Ferrandez in front of them and then Plesinger and then Sexton.
02:39Ferrandez up the fourth and holding it and pulling away just a smidge now is Cooper.
02:48Justin looks good.
02:51Now that they worked on the sand rollers, these guys don't have to be so much concentrated
02:57on it.
02:58Try to make haywire sunshines, right?
03:00Get away.
03:01Like what I see from that number 32 Yamaha.
03:06You talk so much about this track, the exits and the momentum in the corners.
03:10We get to the bottom of the hill up here.
03:13I feel like that's an area where Cooper does really well, doesn't have that hitch.
03:18He rides really light on the motorcycle, but he doesn't move around a lot.
03:23He doesn't put so much g-force on that bike, which means he's not slowing it down.
03:27He's not slowing that bike down in some of these deep corners.
03:30It allows him to get out of these corners as if the bike was, no one was on it.
03:36You saw right there how smooth he was.
03:38It is now Plesinger battling Ferrandez.
03:42Fourth and fifth.
03:43Sexton behind them.
03:44Sexton, we mentioned, no hole shots this year.
03:47He's certainly been able to win without it, but this is pretty far back.
03:51Sixth place.
03:52Yeah, I think with chase Sexton, he's not too worried as long as he can keep those leaders
03:57inside.
03:58He knows he's strong.
04:00Seems like he's got a pretty good pace.
04:04He's got a really good pace.
04:05Dillon just found out.
04:06Now he went to the inside.
04:08He had too much pace.
04:09Couldn't hold that inside.
04:10Hey, good to just see Ferrandez.
04:14One of these duels and Plesinger down.
04:16The rodeo to cowboy just slid out and that's from the track drawing out.
