00:00Trying to build any sort of gap right now, that may be too much to close down.
00:04So Jake Cannon, yeah.
00:05Impressive ride by Cannon is so far to start, though.
00:07You know, he's kind of gotten better and better a little bit.
00:08Oh, Claude was in the second by Monvier, and so now this is a teammate in front of him,
00:14which, I mean, Cog's been faster than all weekend, so this probably won't take too long,
00:18maybe in the books here.
00:18Steve, you know that's Charlie Cannon's brother?
00:21I did not know that.
00:21Yes.
00:22Australian?
00:23Yeah.
00:24Yeah, pretty talented family, to say the least.
00:26Yeah, and he's...
00:26Similar to Lachlan Turner or Lachlan Turner.
00:28And there you go.
00:29There was the pass around the outside.
00:32He made it happen as we just got the way.
00:34And Fonvier looking for a way up the inside.
00:37Cannon unseated as he entered the sand there, so hanging on to that second position at the moment.
00:41I wonder if he can try and follow his teammate through a lap here just to sort of see on line choice
00:46and things like that, just to try and, you know, break free from Calvin Fonvier,
00:51because Clown definitely has more pace.
00:53Well, Bordon just got another spot in the sand, so Bordon is moving up here.
00:56He got in the fifth right now, so this starts right ahead of him before he starts seeing Clown.
01:02Humphrey's pretty impressive here, sitting in fourth.
01:05I mean, we haven't really seen him have a lot of breakthrough rides racing.
01:09Yeah.
01:09Super talented kid, does a lot of different disciplines of riding, but this has been pretty impressive from him.
01:15Yeah, and here he is just under pressure from Bordon through the whoops.
01:19Bordon looking to make a move, and he makes it stick, moves into fourth place.
01:22Now he has daylight, and Calvin Fonvier just ahead of him on the number 11 KTM.
01:27Of course, he's the championship leader, or has Fonvier gone through?
01:30Yeah, Fonvier has found his way past Cannon, it looks like.
01:34Or has he?
01:35Yes, he has.
01:35Into second on the number 11.
01:37Just lead rider in shot in the left-hander now.
01:39That's Cannon to the outside, Bordon to the inside over the stripe.
01:42But Clout, just over a second clear of the Frenchman, Calvin Fonvier.
01:51But number three, Jake Cannon.
01:53Yeah, like a cannon out of the start, and still hanging on in there in that third place at the moment.
01:59But it's his whoops speed that just let him down, but that might improve by the time he gets to tomorrow.
02:03As you said, Steve Mathis, those whoops just get a little bit easier, a little bit smaller through the course of the weekend.
02:08There was the pass there.
02:09Cannon fodder from Bordon there.
02:11Oh, Bordon.
02:11I'm on fire here.
02:14Bordon's got to get busy here if he wants to get a chance at this.
02:17Clout hasn't made a lot of mistakes.
02:19Obviously, he passed him in the first main event really impressively, but he's got to latch onto him.
02:23And, man, if you look at this lap times right now, Clout is at 47 flat.
02:28He just said his fastest time.
02:29Bordon's 47-2, and he's four seconds back.
02:32So Bordon's got to start flipping that up quick.
02:35Yeah, Cannon 7-6 so far, and currently in fourth now.
02:40With Bordon going past a month ago.
02:42But again, a rider from Australia, he enjoys riding Supercross.
02:45He came over and did a futures race beginning of this year.
02:48And obviously, he did an Aussie race last year.
02:51But in between that, he's been doing European Championship, the MX 250.
02:54So not getting a lot of Supercross time.
02:56As Bordon forced his way up the inside on Thampierre into second place.
03:01So, well, should we have been concerned with his eighth or tenth place start?
03:05Clearly not.
03:06No, not really, right?
03:08Got some time to make up here.
03:09But fortunately for him now, first race and second race was five minutes plus the lap.
03:13That's exactly what he's got left.
03:15So he's got, you know, he's in a position where he's about three seconds, maybe?
03:21Four seconds?
03:21It was three tenths quicker that lap.
03:23Bordon was then to Clout.
03:24So he's starting to, once he gets it done, he starts to make it happen.
03:27Well, that's the overall classification at the moment.
03:29Clout on four, Bordon on five, Bombier 10, and Pietro on 15.
03:33So that's how it will look podium tonight.
03:36No Prince will be crowned until tomorrow after two days of racing.
03:39But Anthony Bordon, the gap is four seconds, 4.1 seconds at the moment.
03:45But Luke Clout, what a fantastic ride for him.
03:47Not sure how long he's been in Europe and whether he's been going backwards and forwards or not.
03:51But certainly, I think he goes to Australia a week from now.
03:54He's been back, yeah.
03:55I think he just came over for Stuttgart.
03:56He came straight to Bercy, and then he'll go back and finish the Australian Championship.
04:01I'll tell you what, though.
04:02This is so difficult here because he can hear the crowd cheering for Bordon.
04:06And I don't know if you can pick it up on the broadcast or not, but the crowd is really behind Bordon here.
04:12So to fight that off mentally, because everything's working in Bordon's favor with that adrenaline and momentum and push forward.
04:21But Clout continues to put in great lap time.
04:23So I like the mental fortitude that Clout has shown so far.
04:27The gap still hovering around four seconds.
04:30So three and a half minutes plus a lap to go.
04:33Will it be a mistake or backmarkers that determines the outcome of this final race and the top step of the podium here on day one in Paris at the Paris-la-de-Ponce Arena?
04:45But Nantair, about five miles north of the Eiffel Tower, the crowd definitely get behind.
04:53Anthony Bordon here, right through that rhythm section there.
04:56Saad Soleimani and Jewel Pietra bar-to-bar here.
05:00And having a little bit of cat-mouse, Pietra wins that battle as he moves into sixth place.
05:07And these two still going at it.
05:09And Pietra is ironing up a podium here, is a little bit loose there.
05:13Meanwhile, out front, Clout keeps putting a tick or two on Bordon the last three laps in a row.
05:19Slowly opening that lead up.
05:20It's 4.5 seconds now.
05:21So Clout looked like he lost some time for a couple of laps and there was time for Bordon to go.
05:26But Clout has stabilized and now slowly pulling away from Bordon.
05:30And we got 16 minutes to go.
05:30Here comes Pietra.
05:31Sorry, we got seven minutes to go.
05:34Two and a half.
05:35What? Oh, sorry.
05:37My bad.
05:37I got Canadian now.
05:39I was just looking at Pietra and Saad Soleimani going at it there, that last lap, back and forth.
05:47Saad Soleimani is short, stocky.
05:48You know, you wouldn't want to mess with him in terms of the riders in this category,
05:52especially when you're Jules Pietro, who looks like a wafer thin.
05:56I've seen more meat on a sparrow's kneecap, you know what I mean?
05:58Yeah, sparrow's kneecap is nice.
06:00Seen a lot of those.
06:03But these two still fighting over that, what, sixth place in the race, but two Frenchies.
06:09Well, French by way of Morocco?
06:12By Morocco.
06:13He lives here and everything else, but, yeah, he's Moroccan, first of all.
06:18But Clouds, yeah, extending his lead to almost five seconds as they hit the line at the end
06:26of lap eight.
06:27Minute 40 to go, plus a lap.
06:30Still impressive, this, though, from Jules Pietro.
06:34Unless Cloud makes a big mistake, he's got this.
06:37He's got this.
06:37And if you're Bourdain, though, you know you took one main event win passing him this week.
06:41Tomorrow's three more, right?
06:42Anything can happen, so Cloud can get the bad start.
06:45Like Bourdain did this main event.
06:47So I think if you're Anthony Bourdain, like, hey, man, I went one, two, two, close to him.
06:52And, you know, you pack it up and wait for another day.
06:55And the other thing as well, yeah, Paris is always two days of racing and intense racing
06:59as well, especially with those whoops thrown in as big as they are.
07:01You know, it's like these guys will head back to the hotel, still fueled with adrenaline.
07:07They'll eventually get to sleep probably around about 2 o'clock in the morning.
07:10Then they'll wake up.
07:11It's a day show tomorrow.
07:12We're live from 2 o'clock Central European time here rather than 7 o'clock in the evening.
07:17So we'll be all done and dusted around about 5.30 in the evening.
07:22And so obviously, yeah, they'll get a little bit of sleep.
07:24Then they're on track.
07:25There won't be a free practice.
07:26It'll be straight into time practice.
07:27There'll be a short window.
07:29Then we'll open the doors.
07:29And then we've got the program a little bit more revised and fine-tuned for data.
07:34It usually is.
07:36I've got a little scared.
07:37Everybody saved themselves by the end.
07:39JT, you would have hated these whoops.
07:41I hated all whoops, Steve.
07:42So, yes, by default, you are absolutely correct.
07:45Seattle stuff you liked in these stuff.
07:47I tell you what, though, like, in that situation, it helps Klout to be taller.
07:51There's so much, right?
07:53When you get a little loose, the motorcycle doesn't put you out of position.
07:56You just have so much more clearance.
07:59Yeah, the gap now, 5.3.
08:02I think Bordon is, well, actually, you know what?
08:04He was two seconds off pretty much in the time practice session as well.
08:07So I'm not sure if you just hit a wall after that first race and then that second race result
08:12and then into Super Bowl.
08:13Because he hasn't been the same.
08:15He was impressive coming through the field, but either Luke Klout was just responded.
08:20Yeah, I think Klout's just cleaned it up a little bit.
08:22Honestly, do.
08:22Because the gap now is six seconds.
08:27But it's only day one.
08:28He's going to be second overall.
08:30There's only going to be a point separating them as they go into day two.
08:33Luke Klout is heading for the checkered flag because time is up.
08:37He's got Wave Jell-O's here.
08:40Spider down off the side of the track there.
08:42Oh, that looks like Humphrey.
08:44Yeah, that looks like Humphrey.
08:44Yeah, he's gone down at a seventh place.
08:49Maybe just came up short on that Milwaukee wall jump there.
08:52You come out of the left, you've got like a little step on.
08:54Very easy to make that mistake, but a couple of corners to go for Luke Klout.
09:03And Luke Klout takes his second win of the night.
09:07He's gone 2-1-1, back-to-back in his race wins.
09:11He will lead after day one.
09:12Gourdon second, he'll be second overall.
09:15And Calvin Fonvier will probably be third on the podium ahead of Jules Pietra.
09:20But then Jake Cannon, Sard Sinamani in there as well.
09:23But your race finishes with Luke Klout, Bourdain and Fonvier.
09:27Cannon 4 and Sard Sinamani 5.
09:30Jules Pietra losing out the battle between him and Sard Sinamani.
09:34Michael Lamarck will be seventh.
09:35Hugo Manzato, Andrea Bonifacio, Carl Osterman of Germany.
09:39And then it will be Dorian Koch of France.
09:44Nice to see the sportsmanship between the top three guys there.
09:46All happy and congratulating each other.
09:48There you go.
