00:00Malcolm Stewart with a good jump and it's going to be Malcolm Stewart if he holds the inside line on the exit
00:04Webb with the Milwaukee hole shot, couple riders going down and Hunter Lawrence down
00:12and the 72 of Luka, Imbert and is that Jett?
00:16Fial just took Jett out, he didn't mean to, he did not mean to but that was a hard hit
00:21So both Hunter and Jett then suffering in Super Bowl and the opening lap here of race one
00:27But it's Cooper Webb who leads, he grabbed the Milwaukee hole shot, Stewart in second
00:32Cedric Stuberas is third, fourth, behind them is Marshall Welton, another journeyman
00:37Mitchell Harrison just behind him in fifth, Adrian Escoffier, Roman Papp, Valentin, and a Valentin in eighth
00:43Paul Harberland and Adrian Malaveau
00:45But Cooper Webb on the Yamaha, Monster Energy Yamaha leading the way
00:52I'd love to see if we get a replay of that hit between Fial
00:54Fial, Jett turned down a little bit but Fial jumped really deep into the berm
00:58And it's really tricky on that opening lap, you have to be so aware of your surroundings
01:03So here's the first incident
01:07Oh he just got tagged probably by Webb on the way through
01:11Watch Fial get deep here
01:13Oh overjumped
01:15Oh, faceplank
01:16Yeah, that was completely unintentional
01:18Yeah, he massively overjumped and then cased and headbutted the handlebar, whiplash on the way out
01:25Yeah
01:25Didn't know where he was
01:26Oh, and the difficult part for Jett is Jett seeing redder than that Honda right now
01:31And until he gets a replay or someone speaks to him, he's going to think Fial did that with intent
01:37Yeah
01:37Clearly it was not the case
01:39No, no, no
01:39Well, he's right at the back
01:40He's, uh
01:41Where is he on track?
01:44Just through the whoops now
01:44Through the first term
01:46Already made his way past Fial somehow
01:48Not sure if Fial maybe stopped to get his bike tweaked or what happened there
01:53But Jett's already made his way past
01:54So Webb leads
01:55Malcolm Stewart second
01:57Soob third
01:58Welton fourth
01:58Harrison fifth
01:59No change in the top five
02:01In fact, yeah
02:02Harrison is up
02:04And so too is Welton
02:06So Harrison up to four
02:07Welton down to five
02:08Be interesting to see what, uh
02:12What Malcolm's endurance is like
02:14Steve Mathis sent a text
02:15And then we'll speak to him in a little while
02:17But he was just saying that Malcolm's preparation for 26
02:19Isn't where he wanted it to be
02:20Just, uh
02:21He had some injuries during the
02:22The playoffs in Super Motocross
02:24So he is
02:25Working through the recovery process
02:27Who's that?
02:28Uh, for Malcolm Stewart
02:29So I think sprint speed has never been a problem for Malcolm
02:32But especially when you think about that 13 minute plus a lap
02:35After all of these laps later
02:36I'll be curious to see what that looks like
02:38Great ride this at the moment for Mitchell Harrison there
02:42Look, number 86
02:43Just using this as an opportunity
02:47Just to put himself in a shop window
02:49And show what he's capable of
02:51And it's not easy, is it?
02:53Traveling the globe and riding for different teams
02:55Different bikes, different setups
02:56You get an engine one week
02:58And then something completely different
02:59Different brand of suspension
03:01Different gear brands
03:02And therefore different boots
03:03And things like that
03:04As Lawrence, Hunter Lawrence
03:05Up the inside of Vander Valens in there
03:07As he moves into 7th place
03:09Jet Lawrence up into 12th
03:12He had a 13th last year
03:14And won the next 5
03:15And still lost out
03:17I see Hunter's fork there
03:18Broken off
03:19Probably won't inhibit anything
03:20But carnage
03:22Carnage early for the Lawrence's so far
03:24And it's really important
03:26Like if you fancy yourself being the King of Paris this weekend
03:30You need to make up positions now
03:32Look at Jet last year
03:33Won out
03:34But a really difficult first race
03:37Cost him
03:38Yeah
03:38The championship
03:39Yeah, last year
03:40He won the first race
03:42And then crash in race 2
03:4313th
03:44Then he won the next 4 races
03:4518 points he finished on
03:47So it's 1 for win
03:482 for second
03:48That scoring system this weekend
03:50Cooper Webb
03:51Never finished lower than 3rd
03:53Had just the 1 race win
03:553 seconds
03:56And a couple of thirds
03:56He finished on 13 points
03:58And Malcolm Stewart
04:0016
04:00Too clear of Jet Lawrence
04:01So these are kind of the parameters
04:03Jet Lawrence
04:05Is still circulating
04:07So they've got Roman Pap
04:08Ahead of him
04:10But the good news is
04:12There's still
04:12Just under 4 minutes
04:13Plus a lap to go
04:14Good run
04:15Down a whoops there
04:16For Malcolm Stewart
04:18I wonder if
04:19When was the last time
04:20Cooper Webb
04:21I mean he's been riding
04:22And training
04:23And Stewart
04:23Rocks down the inside
04:24I was going to say
04:25Arm pump
04:26Things like that
04:26Is that a possibility
04:27Here with Webb
04:28Could be
04:29But you know
04:29I don't necessarily see him
04:31Too far off the pace
04:32He's still turning
04:33Really good lap times here
04:34I think Malcolm's just
04:35Putting in a splurge here
04:36To try to get past him
04:37But this
04:38This is Cooper Webb's strength
04:40Right
04:40Like he doesn't really
04:41Crack under pressure
04:42He's very good at
04:43Defensive riding
04:44So he's going to learn
04:45Where Malcolm's speed is
04:47Certainly it's always
04:48The whoops
04:48But I think he's just
04:50Going to try to wait
04:50Malcolm out here
04:51Every single attempt
04:52That fails
04:53Will just be a little
04:54Bit more difficult
04:54For Malcolm to make a move
04:55So Webb and Stewart
04:58Separated
04:59By 8 tenths
05:01And this time
05:01He runs it down
05:02Inside
05:03He rehearsed
05:04He rehearsed a lap ago
05:05Wasn't able to find his way through
05:07And oh he's off the side
05:08Of the track
05:08Rejoins
05:10But that
05:11Looks like Malcolm Stewart
05:13May just have done enough
05:14Now
05:15He's definitely charging
05:16Anyway
05:17You see that new line
05:18He put together there
05:19Quad before
05:20The exit of that
05:21So that's a
05:22That's a new rhythm
05:23Unlocked there
05:23About to see that
05:24The next lap around
05:25Wonder if he's
05:27Just
05:27Because I don't think
05:29He's doing it in time practice
05:30No that's the first time
05:31I've seen anybody pull that
05:32So
05:32We talk about that
05:33People have
05:34New rhythms in their back pocket
05:36That was a new one
05:37His brother James
05:38Was famous for that
05:39Would save
05:40Big rhythms
05:41And time savings
05:42For when it counted
05:42Good corner speed
05:44Through there
05:44Good whoop speed
05:45Again out of our window
05:46Here's Hunter Lawrence
05:47He's still circulating
05:48In seventh place
05:49Adrian Escoffier
05:50Just ahead of him there
05:52On the 137
05:52The Yamaha rider
05:54The Frenchman
05:54He's the second
05:55Best French rider
05:56After Cedric Soubaras
05:57In third
05:57Two minutes to go
05:59Plus a lap
06:00So around about
06:00Two minutes and
06:0244 seconds
06:03Left to run
06:04In this race
06:05Good speed there
06:07You're asking
06:08When was the last time
06:09These guys would have been battling
06:10Towards the end of the
06:11Supercross championship
06:12Malcolm was getting better
06:13Battling forward
06:14And Koop was just
06:15Trying to hang on to it
06:16So those races
06:17Denver, Salt Lake
06:18They were actually battling
06:19A lot more than people
06:20Would have probably remembered
06:22Yeah
06:22But you can see
06:23Hunter Lawrence
06:24Gaining hand over fist
06:25Over Adrian Escoffier
06:27Marshall Welton
06:28Just ahead of him
06:28In the reddish boots
06:30He is in fifth place
06:31Hunter Lawrence
06:32If he can get a top five
06:33He keeps his King of Paris
06:34Aspirations well and truly alive
06:37Jet still in twelfth place
06:38With some work to do
06:42Again, if he can break into the top ten
06:44That makes his job a little bit easier
06:45But he's going to have to be
06:46Inch perfect from there
06:47Which
06:47On tonight's evidence so far
06:49That doesn't even look like
06:51I think it's a possibility
06:51Right now
06:55Anyway
06:56Lawrence
06:58Hunter Lawrence
06:58Going to try to cut to the inside
07:00Here
07:00He does
07:01Harrison down
07:02Harrison down
07:03Out of fourth place
07:04That's a big help for Hunter
07:05So a twofer in a corner there
07:07Because two positions gained
07:08By Hunter Lawrence
07:10He goes past the fallen
07:11Mitchell Harrison
07:12And Adrian Escoffier
07:14He will move into
07:16Fifth place
07:18Fourth place maybe
07:19Because Welton is still ahead of them
07:22Jet Lawrence up into 11th
07:25So he's found his way
07:26Past Roman Pat
07:27Vial in 13th
07:30But action-packed drama
07:35In the first couple of laps
07:37Certainly in the first couple of corners
07:39Hunter Lawrence
07:40Going after Welton here
07:41Yeah, this would be big
07:43Moving into fourth here
07:44Would be a really
07:45Nice recovery
07:47Going down to the first corner
07:48Certainly was helped by
07:49The Vial jet incident too
07:51But all these
07:52All these hidden points
07:53You don't think about
07:54Right now
07:55But tomorrow evening
07:56You will be
07:57And in terms of
07:58Monster Energy Supercross
07:59Qualifying races
08:00How long are they?
08:00Eight minutes or eight laps?
08:02For qualifying sessions?
08:03Yeah
08:03Yeah, yeah
08:04The heat races
08:05They're eight minutes
08:06Plus eight minutes
08:07Actually, sorry
08:07So about the same
08:08Maybe the track is just slightly
08:10Under par
08:11In terms of speed
08:1244, five seconds
08:13Yeah
08:14And you have to remember
08:15These guys aren't really
08:16In race condition right now
08:17Sure they have their base
08:18Fitness from prior season
08:20But they haven't been doing
08:21All the laps
08:21You know, October
08:22Leading up
08:23Is kind of an off month
08:24Some testing
08:25But not a lot of race laps
08:26So they're going to be
08:27Feeling it more than
08:28They normally would
08:29Lawrence moves into fourth
08:30So we were talking
08:32The potential to try
08:33And get to a top five
08:34Then obviously
08:34He found his way past
08:35Scoffier and Mitchell
08:36And all of a sudden
08:37He's found his way past
08:38Welton
08:39Moves into fourth place
08:40Jet up to ninth
08:41That's a big move
08:42For Jet as well
08:43Massive
08:43Thinking about points
08:44And he's only two seconds
08:46Down on Valencia
08:46I think he can get him
08:47In the final lap
08:48Lawrence
08:49Jet Lawrence could find his way
08:50To eighth
08:50What a ride by Malcolm here
08:52Oh, fantastic
08:53And I wasn't taking
08:54Anything away from
08:55Mookie
08:55When I was talking about
08:56Cooper
08:56Where maybe
08:57Potential arm pump
08:58But we saw
09:00The intent was clear
09:01Right from the very first lap
09:02From Malcolm Stewart
09:03In terms of
09:04I'm here
09:04I'm not playing silly buggers anymore
09:06I'm here to play for real
09:07Well, and it really felt like
09:08Coop kind of had it under control
09:09He went immediately to the front
09:11And looked like he was
09:12Firmly in control
09:13But Malcolm just had too much pace
09:15Two corners to go
09:18And then the
09:20One lap board should go out
09:21I believe
09:21Or are we getting ready for
09:22Yeah, there's the flag
09:24Malcolm Stewart
09:27Wins race one
09:28Comfortably
09:30Over
09:32Cooper Webb
09:34Who's still yet to cross the line
09:36And crosses the line now
09:38That gap
09:38Nine and a half seconds
09:39Or 11
09:4212 seconds
09:43Yeah, well
09:43Yeah, 11.9
09:4512 seconds in the end
09:46Cedric Zuberas
09:48Third
09:49Hunter Lawrence will be fourth
09:50Marshall Welton will be fifth
09:51And we've got Mitchell Harrison
09:52Ascoffier
09:53Jet Lawrence is in eighth
09:54At the moment
09:54And just looking out of the window
09:59For, yeah, Jet Lawrence is not going to find his way past
10:04Ascoffier is too far back
10:06Because Ascoffier over the line now
10:08And Jet Lawrence just about to hit the line as we speak
10:10But great ride
10:14For Malcolm Stewart
10:15On the number 27
10:16The Rockstar Energy
10:19Hasfana Ryder
10:20Getting off to the perfect start here
10:22In Paris, JT
10:23Yeah, that was
10:24Picture perfect
10:26He won't have any idea
10:27Of the chaos that went on behind him
10:29But neither will he care
10:31And when you
10:32You have to start stacking the scores
10:34Againstолов
