00:00from Stewart with a good job and it's going to be Malcolm Stewart if he holds
00:03the inside line on the exit with with the Milwaukee hole shot couple riders
00:08going down and Hunter Lawrence down and the 72 in bad and is that yeah just took
00:16jet out he didn't wow he did not mean to but that was that was a hard hit so
00:21both hunter and jet then suffering in Super Bowl and the opening lap here of
00:26race one but it's Cooper Webb who leads he grabbed the Milwaukee hole shot
00:30Stewart in second Cedric Stuberas his third fourth behind them is Marshall
00:36Welton another journeyman Mitchell Harrison just behind him in fifth Adrian
00:40Escoffier Roman Pat Valentin and a Valentin in eighth Paul Harberland and
00:44Adrian Malaveau but Cooper Webb on the Yamaha Monsterage Yamaha leading the
00:51way I'd love to see if we get a replay of that hit between Viao jet turned down a
00:56little bit but Viao jumped really deep into the berm and it's it's really
00:59tricky on that opening lap you have to be so aware of your surroundings so
01:04here's the first incident I just got tagged probably by Webb on the way through
01:12watch Viao get deep here oh yeah that was completely unintentional yeah he
01:20massively over jumped and then cased and headbutted the handlebar whiplash on the
01:24way out yeah didn't know where he was and the difficult part for jet is jet seeing
01:29redder than that Honda right now and until he gets a replay or someone speaks to him
01:35he's gonna think Viao did that with intent yeah clearly was not the case no no no
01:39well he's right at the back he's uh where is he on track just through the whoops now
01:45through the first way past Viao somehow not sure if Viao maybe stopped to get
01:50his bike tweaked or what happened there but Jets already made his way past so Webb
01:55leads Malcolm Stewart second Suv third Welton fourth Harrison fifth no change in the top
02:00five it's coffee in fact yeah Harrison is uh up and so too is uh Welton so Harrison up to
02:07four Welton down to five it'll be interesting to see what uh what Malcolm's endurance is like
02:14Steve Matheson a text and then we'll speak to him in a little while but he was just saying that
02:17Malcolm's preparation for 26 isn't where he wanted it to be just uh he had some injuries
02:22during the the playoffs in super motocross so he is working through the recovery process
02:27who's that uh for Malcolm Stewart so I think sprint speed has never been a problem for Malcolm
02:32but especially when you think about that 13 minute plus a lap after all of these laps later I'll be
02:37curious to see what that looks like great right this at the moment for Mitchell Harrison there look
02:42number 86 just using this as an opportunity just to put himself in a shop window and show what he's
02:51capable of and it's not easy is it traveling the globe and riding for different teams different bikes
02:56different setups you get an engine one week and then something completely different different brand
03:01suspension different gear brands and therefore different boots and things like that as Lawrence
03:05Hunter Lawrence up the inside of and of Allen's in there as he moves into seventh place
03:11Jet Lawrence up into 12th he had a 13th last year and won the next five and still lost out I see
03:17Hunter's fork are there broken off probably won't inhibit anything but carnage carnage early for the
03:23Lawrence's so far and it's really important like if you fancy yourself being the king of Paris this
03:30weekend you need to make up positions now look at Jet last year one out but a really difficult first
03:37race cost him yeah the championship yeah last year he was uh he won the first race and then crash in
03:43race to 13th then he won the next four races 18 points he finished on so it's one for win two for
03:48second that scoring system this weekend Cooper Webb never finished lower than third had just the one
03:55race win three seconds and a couple thirds he finished on 13 points and uh Malcolm Stewart 16 to clear of
04:01Jet Lawrence so these are kind of the parameters uh Jet Lawrence is uh still circulating to other got Roman
04:08Pat ahead of him but the good news is there's still just under four minutes plus a lap to go good run down the
04:16whoops there for Malcolm Stewart wonder if uh what was the last time Cooper Webb I mean he's been riding and
04:22training as Stewart rocks down the inside I was going to say arm pump things like that is that a
04:27possibility here with Webb could be but you know like I don't necessarily see him too far off the pace
04:32he's still turning really good lap times here I think Malcolm's just putting in a splurge here yeah
04:37try to get past him but this this is Cooper Webb's strength right like he doesn't really crack under
04:42pressure he's very good at defensive riding so he's going to learn where Malcolm's speed is certainly
04:47it's always the whoops but I think he's just going to try to wait Malcolm out here every single attempt
04:52that fails will just be a little bit more difficult for Malcolm to make a move so Webb and Stewart
04:58separated by eight tenths and this time he runs it down the inside he rehearsed a lap ago wasn't able to
05:06find his way through and uh oh he's off the side of the track rejoins but that looks like Malcolm Stewart may
05:13just have done enough now he's definitely charging anyway you see that new line he put together there
05:19quad before the exit of that so that's a that's a new rhythm unlock there about to see that the next
05:25lap around wonder if he's uh just because I don't think he's doing it in time practice no that's the
05:30first time I've seen anybody pull that so we talk about that people have uh new rhythms in their back
05:36pocket that was a new one James his brother James was famous for that would save big rhythms and time
05:41savings for when it counted good corner speed through there good whoop speed again out of our
05:46window here's Hunter Lawrence he's still circulating in seventh place Adrian Escoffier just ahead of him
05:51there on the 137 the Yamaha rider the Frenchman he's the second best French rider after Cedric
05:57Suburas in third two minutes to go plus a lap so around about two minutes and 44 seconds left to run in
06:05this race you're asking when was the last time these guys would have been battling towards the end of
06:11the Supercross championship Malcolm was getting better battling forward and Koop was just trying
06:15to hang on to it so those races Denver Salt Lake they were actually battling a lot more than people
06:20would have probably remembered yeah but you can see Hunter Lawrence gaining hand over fist over Adrian
06:26Escoffier Marshall Welton just ahead of him in the uh the reddish boots he is in fifth place Hunter
06:32Lawrence if he can get a top five he keeps his king of Paris aspirations well and truly alive Jet
06:37still in 12th place with some work to do again if he can break into the top ten that makes his job a
06:45little bit easier but he's gonna have to be inch perfect from there which on tonight's evidence so far
06:49that doesn't even look like it's a possibility right now anyway Lawrence Hunter Lawrence gonna try to
06:59pick up to the inside here he does and that was that down Harrison down out of fourth place that's a big
07:05help for Hunter so a two for in a corner there because two positions gained by Hunter Lawrence he
07:10goes past the fallen Mitchell Harrison and Adrian Escoffier he will move into fifth place fourth place maybe
07:19because Welton is still ahead of them Jet Lawrence up into 11th so he's found his way past Roman Pat
07:27Vial in 13th
07:34but action-packed drama in the first couple of laps certainly in the first couple of corners Hunter
07:40Lawrence going after Welton here yeah this would be big moving into fourth here would be uh really nice
07:46recovery going down to the first corner certainly was helped by the Vial jet incident too but all
07:52these all these hidden points you don't think about right now but tomorrow evening it will be and in
07:57terms of uh Monster Energy Supercross qualifying races how long are they eight minutes or eight laps
08:01uh for qualifying sessions yeah yeah yeah yeah the heat races uh they're eight minutes plus of eight
08:06minutes actually sorry so about the same maybe the track is just slightly under par in terms of speed
08:1244.5 seconds yeah and you have to remember these guys aren't really in race condition right now I'm
08:17sure they have their base fitness from prior season but they haven't been doing all the laps you know
08:22October weeding up is kind of an off month some testing but not a lot of race laps so they're going
08:27to be feeling it more than they normally would Lawrence moves into fourth so we were talking the
08:32potential to try and get to a top five then obviously he found his way past Escoffier Mitchell and all of a
08:37sudden he's found his way past uh Welton moves into fourth place that's a big move for Jed as well
08:43massive thinking about points and he's only two seconds down on balance I think you can get him
08:47in the final lap Lawrence Jet Lawrence could find his way to eight what a ride by Malcolm here oh
08:52fantastic and I wasn't taking anything away from uh Mookie when I was talking about Cooper where maybe
08:57potential arm from but we saw the intent was clear right from the very first lap from uh Malcolm
09:03Stewart yeah in terms of I'm here I'm not I'm not playing silly buggers anymore I'm here to
09:07play for real well and it really felt like Coop kind of had it under control he went immediately
09:10to the front and looked like he was in firmly in control but Malcolm just had too much pace
09:17two corners to go and then the one lap board should go out I believe or is we getting ready for
09:23yeah there's the flag Malcolm Stewart wins race one comfortably over uh Cooper Webb who's still yet to
09:35cross the line and uh crosses the line now that gap nine and a half seconds
09:42or 11 12 so yeah well yeah 11.9 12 seconds in the end cedric super s third hunter lawrence will be
09:49fourth marshall welton will be fifth and we've got mitchell harris and the scoffier jet lawrence is in
09:53eighth at the moment
09:58and just looking out of the window
10:02for uh yeah jet lawrence is not going to find his way past the scoffier is too far back
10:06because uh scoffier over the line now and jet lawrence just about to hit the line as we speak
10:10but great ride for malcolm stewart on the number 27. the rockstar energy has farna rider getting off to
10:21the perfect start here in paris jt yeah that was uh picture perfect he won't have any idea of the chaos
10:28that went on behind him but neither will he care and when you see you have to start stacking the scores
10:43you
