00:00And he just next to the doghouse, right underneath the W, just to the right of it there.

00:06We'll keep an eye on him to see if his fitness can hang in there.

00:10Riders focused on the gate.

00:11Here we go.

00:15First one in the corner is going to be Ken Roxen, but he's got a lot of company on the

00:19inside.

00:20He's going to lose the lead right away.

00:21That's Cooper on the 32.

00:23The blue bike taking the lead.

00:25Followed by the 17th one, La Conda, Joey Savace.

00:29Yeah, and then Roxen's right there, so he sits in third.

00:32It's Cooper, Savace, Roxen, top three.

00:36And, Daniel, we have a Stark in fourth.

00:39So another good start for the electric bike.

00:41Not the one you would think, either.

00:42That's Zaragoza.

00:43Yeah, Jorge Zaragoza.

00:46But this is great for Justin Cooper.

00:47Another rider who needs a little bit of a bounce back was buried in that first race.

00:51And, Jeff, you know it's two different worlds when you're up front when you're buried.

00:54J-Coup's got some clear track.

00:55And I got Hayden Deegan back in about 10th right now.

00:58Much better start than he had on the first one.

01:00Keep an eye on the 38.

01:02He got 12 riders passed in race number one.

01:05Much better start here.

01:07And look at this battle for second as Roxen gets around Savace and goes right after Cooper.

01:12Cooper tries the outside line right there.

01:15Didn't make it work.

01:16But Roxen riding with a lot of aggression right now.

01:20He wants to make that pass for the lead and set the pace himself.

01:26Not have to adjust to what Justin Cooper is doing up front.

01:30And El Hombre, Jason Anderson, finds himself in fourth on that PMG Suzuki.

01:36Much better start for him than in race number one where he found himself on the ground at the beginning of the race.

01:41And here's Roxen inside on Cooper.

01:45And there is nothing you can do to stop that, Daniel.

01:47Nothing.

01:48Kenny is so sick.

01:49That was awesome.

01:50Out to end.

01:51Cut up.

01:51Got that double out of the corner.

01:52Had the better rhythm.

01:54Rips the whoops.

01:55I mean.

01:55Yeah.

01:55He gained two bike links on Cooper through the whoops.

01:58That's the Zouki state.

01:59So straight.

02:00But guys, he had to do that.

02:02Because he has to get out front.

02:04Set a pace that he can maintain.

02:06And sustainability is going to be so key for Ken Roxen here tonight.

02:11And he is one of the best first lap riders in the sport.

02:14The pass on Joey.

02:15Awesome.

02:16The pass on Jay Coop.

02:17Awesome.

02:18And I'm not surprised.

02:19I mean, Kenny is so great early in motos.

02:21Now have a clear track.

02:22Try to run away.

02:23But, hey, Justin's hanging with him.

02:25We get to see Jason Anderson up there.

02:26Joey Savace still in contention for an overall here.

02:29Oh!

02:30Ben Anderson getting aggressive on the 21.

02:33Coming after him.

02:34Making a challenge for third on Zaragoza.

02:37Oh, no.

02:37That was Savace.

02:38Savace.

02:39Yeah.

02:39Savace messed up that triple into that.

02:42And Anderson jumps in.

02:44And I think it all kind of happened a little too quick.

02:47Savace got a wake-up call from the Suzuki rider, number 21, who sets him forth.

02:52Yeah.

02:52It was too quick for a lot of us.

02:54Deegan making moves, too.

02:55Up to eighth now on Simonson.

02:58Not going through the pack as quick as last time.

03:01But still has made some moves.

03:03There's Zaragoza on the 99.

03:04And he's fighting with Christian Craig on the 28th.

03:07That's for fifth right now.

03:09Give that spot to Craig.

03:11But for how long?

03:12And I've got to say, Devin Simonson, that number 88, he's looked really good today.

03:19He's had some strong rides.

03:21He's, unfortunately, he might have just had Deegan gone around the outside of him.

03:25Yeah, bottom of your screen, bottom left.

03:27Battle of that, though.

03:28Hayden up to eighth.

03:29Hayden Deegan up to eighth.

03:32Oh, he just got hit.

03:34Simonson did.

03:34And we are halfway through this one.

03:37Was that Aranda, the French rider?

03:39I think so, yeah.

03:40But you're right.

03:41Simonson had a great run there battling with Deegan.

03:43And he's actually a 250 Supercross racer for Club MX, but riding the 450 and riding it well,

03:48battling with these big-name guys.

03:50So, awesome to see him up there.

03:51But Hayden Deegan, here he comes, banging another tough block.

03:55He just banks off of the tough blocks at every outside of the turn.

03:59He's got to be so stoked to be riding a 450 with the power that this is.

04:04Watch it right here again.

04:04Here he goes on Zaragoza.

04:06This would be for sixth.

04:07Hayden Deegan coming after him on the 38.

04:09Keep an eye on him.

04:10Looking to the inside.

04:12Great pass.

04:13Hayden Deegan gets another one.

04:15Finds himself up to sixth.

04:16Yeah, he was so committed.

04:18He tripled in.

04:19I mean, if Zaragoza had just hung tough, Deegan probably would have hit him and went down.

04:25I mean, he's riding with reckless abandon for sure.

04:28And great race craft, too.

04:30If you think about the passes he made in that one, this one, he's not afraid.

04:33Justin Cooper got him in the first one.

04:34He got him back.

04:35I like the race craft for a kid on a 450 just figuring things out out here in Argentina.

04:40Like, he's racing hard and making moves.

04:43Here it is again.

04:43Watch him on the 38.

04:45Zaragoza on the red bike.

04:46He went in deep.

04:48I mean, he tripled in.

04:49And when you do that, you come in with so much speed.

04:52Goes over the triple and just lays the Yamaha flat.

04:56Finding that flow early is Hayden Deegan on that big 450.

05:00So taking a look at the lap times.

05:02Last time around, Ken Rocks at 53.7.

05:05Cooper just half a second off.

05:08Jason Anderson, 53.5.

05:10Fastest rider on the track, both Suzuki's.

05:17Just a couple of laps remaining in this one.

05:20Race number two for SX1.

05:24Here's Deegan.

05:25Right now, Hayden's in sixth.

05:30Trying to catch Christian Craig.

05:33Well, and Deegan and Craig were teammates on that Yamaha team for a while ago.

05:37A few years.

05:38Yeah.

05:38Think back to earlier this year in January.

05:41Christian Craig was Hayden Deegan's coach.

05:44They worked together.

05:45He was actually working with them during the Supercross championship.

05:48Oh, Uncle Christian sitting right in front of him.

05:50He might have a chance to get him in this one.

05:52And Roxxon still out front.

05:55Time's running out though, boys.

05:57Kenny's had to work a little bit harder in this one than he did in race number one.

06:02We'll see how much more he had to empty out of the tank.

06:04If he'll have anything left for race number three.

06:07The one that pays the big points at 25.

06:10Well, and remember at this point, Ken Rocks is considered a wild card along with Justin Cooper.

06:16That means that as of right now, he's not scheduled to race every round.

06:23Cooper's scheduled to race the first two.

06:27Which would make the Anderson-Savachi battle, Craig battle.

06:30That's more of your championship battle right there.

06:33But I'm just impressed with Justin Cooper and Jason Anderson's bounce back in this one.

06:37Getting to see them at full speed and in some comfort.

06:39But they really just don't have anything for Kenny.

06:42I mean, the balance that he rides with, with aggression and efficiency.

06:47He's the perfect 450 rider.

06:49Especially on a track like this, that's slick.

06:51I just don't know if they can touch him if he's got that energy in race three.

06:55And that's a big part as we work this final lap of what the Deegan team.

07:00And I say that because it's the family, the race team, everybody.

07:03The Deegan team all around Aiden wanted him to experience.

07:06Look at the names that are just in front of him.

07:08Roxton, Cooper, Anderson, Savachi, Craig.

07:11The best in the absolute business of Supercross, motocross racing.

07:15And he's right there battling with all of them here tonight and doing it on a challenging track.

07:20And Ken Roxton wins another one.

07:22He goes two for two as he takes race number two for SX1.

07:27And the rest of the field comes across the line.

07:30Anderson in third.

07:31Here's Joey Savachi.

07:33He'll get fourth.

07:33Christian Craig will take fifth.

07:36And the pupil behind the teacher of Craig is Hayden Deegan with another fine effort as he comes across in sixth.

07:43As that debut night of the 450 continues.

07:48Simonson gets seventh.

07:49Zaragoza.

07:51Where is he?

07:52Things are going to shake up a little bit there.

07:54Yep.

07:54Hill is going to get in front of Zaragoza.

07:56So it's Moss and Politelli and Brees and Zaragoza is going to finish deeper back.

08:02He's going to take it.

08:03He's going to take it.

08:04He's going to take it.

08:05He's going to take it.

08:06He's going to take it.

08:07He's going to take it.

08:08He's going to take it.

08:09He's going to take it.

08:11He's going to take it.

08:12He's going to take it.

08:13He's going to take it.

08:14He's going to take it.

08:15He's going to take it.
