00:000-9 and then we've got Jake Cannon improving every time he goes out on the
00:04track as well he was a 45-4-0-8 so no no slight laps just over the the monster
00:10bridge and then just loop around the gate and then straight back into thing
00:12but the track generally okay the whoops have been fixed since their time
00:16practice just the one session on track this morning rather than a free practice
00:20at the time practice yesterday a kind of a hybrid sort of not quite the length of
00:25two sessions but slightly more than the one session that they got yesterday so
00:28no lap for them no lap no no no I noticed that yesterday but I was thinking did
00:32we miss that when other things were going on but Anthony Bourdain strange entrance
00:36though yeah over the bridge over the thing loop around and then straight across the
00:39front of the gate and then in okay but Anthony Bourdain second in the standings at
00:46the moment Jake Cannon there number three he is fifth on 17 points three points
00:50behind Joel Pietra the Yamaha rider 389 what a great couple of races he had
00:55yesterday Joel Pietra led one race ended up finishing third and that was in race two there's
01:00Saad Soleimani he arrives here at six overall in the classification with a fourth a 13th and a
01:05fifth but the 15 second board up here and we are up for our first race of the day SX2 race one all
01:11six races count three from yesterday three today in that Paris that Prince of Paris
01:16classification Kate's about to drop now over on the right hand side number four Luke Cloud on the
01:21the bud race in Kawasaki a little bit lethargic but it's Calvin von Vielle who leads the way on the
01:26number 11 he gets the Milwaukee hole shot but look at Luke Cloud nice and tight from fourth to second
01:31in the blink of an eye and he's already exactly where he needs to be Saad Soleimani holding a nice tight
01:35line through that second corner but where is Anthony Bourdain is that him in fifth position I think it is on
01:41that Honda Motor Blues SR machine we'll get him over the line here Cannon sorry Clout already to the lead at the start of the second lap
01:49so Clout, Fonvier, Joel Pietra, Cannon and Bourdain and Bourdain slides his way into third great move that but Pietra
01:58looking to bounce back and get around the outside up the inside of him maybe if he can doesn't quite work out for him though
02:04and for Clout just that inside if you get off relatively clean and can sneak around that inside
02:10he's been making that work all weekend long he's a great starter anyway but uh you know between his
02:16quick lap times and also just the savviness to be able to move around that inside he's put himself in
02:21good position and yes he's had a little bit of an edge in race two and race two over Bourdain but I would
02:25say the starts have really been the biggest factor because you're talking about marginal differences but
02:30Clout already has uh you know three second lead over Bourdain that's you're asking a lot to close
02:37that down in a short race yeah we have less than four minutes plus a lap to go into that so just to
02:42the right where these guys here that far rhythm section down the back into that left-hander see
02:47the spark come off the foot peg there of uh Bourdain uh Bourdain's Honda where he uh obviously
02:51tail take titanium onto maybe a little bit of hard dirt slash rock um if they got that on a slow-mo nothing
02:59fancy but uh anyway here is Luke Clown it's not the uh the Tiger King today no right though that's a
03:08neon going on but uh I mean Claude's a veteran at this point right this would be arguably the only
03:14race of the year I you know it's arguable that he'd be racing a 250 450 veteran battling for
03:19australian supercross championships was on the podium at stuttgart a week ago so he has a lot of
03:23experience yeah a lot of experience not necessarily in Paris but it all translates and I think you've
03:29seen that comes to a race for the first time has been running up front all weekend long and really
03:34outside of race one where he lost the lead it's been basically flawless well obviously uh if you are
03:39joining us for the first time this sx2 this 250 class is uh pretty much uh it's got two prongs to it
03:45it's part of the french supercross championship which Calvin Pompier there on the red plate number 11
03:50uh currently leads over michael hicks but it's also uh the prince of paris so there'll be two
03:55separate podiums at the end of the night for the sx2 guys one for the overall on the day and one for
04:01the overall prince of paris so uh but in terms of that prince of paris the best 250 rider in this
04:07paris supercross loop clout currently on four he will move to five as he uh looks to take a win
04:13bordon currently on five he will pick up a third place finish that'll put him on eight so
04:17there'll be a bit of breathing space there for clout but clout is not escaping the clutches of
04:22the two frenchmen well actually i would i'm more impressed with fanbiel like fredone's closing the
04:26gap a little bit but this is the closest he has been it's really been a one two kind of runaway
04:30after a couple laps in you wonder if it's a lot of it because track is brand new so like the the
04:35margins compress a little bit as far as just skill and everybody can kind of go the same speed but this
04:41is by far calvin's best race of the weekend minute and a half to go plus a lap in this five minute
04:47plus one lap two of these races they get at this distance before a nine minute plus a lap
04:51uh final race of the day and of the weekend which will determine the prince of paris but
04:58yeah luke clout looking like he's responding here
05:00fanvier can't escape the clutches of bordon bordon saw this a couple times yesterday uh apart from the
05:07first race where he hounded down luke clout made his way past and won by a second and a half in the
05:11end but that was the rocket the backside that the australian needed wasn't it and and what we saw in
05:16that first race yesterday when bordon followed and made the move sometimes easier well most of the time
05:23it's easier to follow than it is to lead and clout was probably caught in that am i doing everything
05:27okay right blah blah blah am i taking too much risk not enough risk and then of course when he found
05:33himself in second in race two he was able to do what bordon did to him follow him stalk his prey
05:38and uh obviously make the pass stick and that seemed to be the sort of uh the icing on the cake
05:42as bordon charges down the inside of fanvier takes second with uh about 30 seconds plus a lap to go
05:48and he's still very much in contention for this prince title and clout has changed one line and uh
05:55they're they're coming up to it he changed one line at the end of this next straightaway he'll go to
05:59the inside here and that was where he got passed in race one yesterday ever since then you'll see
06:04him up the inside he skips on skips off ever since he switched that he's really been in control since
06:08then so bordon's line is really quick there i just think he did a great job of identifying where he was
06:13passed he's made a change has never gone back and really his results have never looked back either
06:18look how choppy that uh right turn is at the end of the fmx jump there just you see the front end
06:23fighting there from luke clout slippery as well and slippery yeah day two moisture coming up through the
06:27ground yes it's a little bit flatter but the dirt kind of breathes differently inside here you got
06:32the roof is closed so uh just that moisture starting to come up all all the time yeah and you can tell
06:37like this race when you talk about 42 years of history you're going to get a little bit of everything
06:41i've raced this race and watched this race where it's hard packed slippery especially 80s and 90s
06:46really hard then you went into 2000s ruddy really treacherous soft and you just wonder if it's the
06:52precipitation levels coming in what is the difference but this is kind of a happy medium yes
06:57a little bit tricky but also there is traction two corners to go are they getting ready for the
07:02checkered flag yes they are the white flag is about to come in here and it's going to be luke clout who
07:06wins race one here day two three wins in a row now because he was second in race one yesterday back to
07:13back wins in the final two races he gets off to a winning start here will extend his lead at the top
07:18of this prince of paris uh competition there you go look five seven um because obviously bordon pulling
07:25back a point when he made that move on calvin from v a von v a is going to sit third on 13 pietra on 18
07:31and so uh yeah oh cannon so excited he's just going to celebrate right there not really trying to give
07:38knuckles to uh pietra there so jake cannon getting better as well so a good fifth place finish for
07:46him in this second in this first race of the day yeah cloud you know it's interesting he would never
07:53admit it but yes he won but he probably was also like man he was catching me there like he was he
08:00perdon was closing the gap down and maybe it doesn't matter for the overall in the end because cloud has put
08:05several race wins together now but uh that's been a trend change we've seen cloud be able to either
08:11hold leads or extend them that's the first time since race one yesterday that perdon looked a little bit quicker
