00:00E é o que é tudo isso para agora para o resto da noite.
00:07O rádos da gate estão sete para ir.
00:1630-secondos, a board é up.
00:17O Gold Coast de Austrália é conhecido por estes grandes beacheses e incríveis locais.
00:23Hoje é onde você vai encontrar o maior gathering dos melhores supercross racers no planeta.
00:28Eles estão aqui por uma razão, a quest para ser crownedoração mundial.
00:32Dropa a gate!
00:36Headed off to the first corner, and Anstey's on the inside of the 99.
00:40Can he write his night?
00:41He's not going to get the whole shot.
00:45As you see, the rest of the field, Cody Schock coming through there,
00:48but Anstey is right up in the mix, Daniel.
00:50And that is how you back up what you did in qualifying in Super Bowl.
00:54This is a tone-setting race for Enzo Lopes, and a big opening lap for Max Anstey.
01:00Lopes out front of the number 16, riding for Rick Ware on the Yamaha.
01:04Chasing him is Max Anstey on the Team GSM machine.
01:10Different rhythms right there.
01:11Max gets that big triple.
01:12Enzo singled in.
01:13They come out the same, and here's the big test that it will be all night long.
01:17All through the woods.
01:17Here we go.
01:18Lopes gets through there great.
01:19Anstey gets through there even better.
01:21And Cody Schock and Shane McElrath do as well.
01:24McElrath squares up the next berm as they come over the finish line jump.
01:28McElrath inside.
01:30Here comes Anstey pushing on Lopes already.
01:32Inside.
01:33New leader.
01:34Yes, new leader here on the Gold Coast.
01:36And he didn't even wait.
01:38He didn't let for the race to settle down, let Enzo Lopes build a little confidence.
01:41He says, no, I need it right now.
01:43I'm going to take it.
01:44That was aggressive.
01:45Great move by the points leader.
01:46Every race that we've had this year at an SX2 category event, Max Anstey has won every single one of them.
01:55Eight laps, 12 laps, main events, premium races, doesn't matter.
02:00He's won everything.
02:02Maximum points all the way across the board for Max Anstey in 2025.
02:06And this is a big moment for Enzo Lopes, too.
02:08You've been great in the whoops all night long.
02:10Can you pull it right now?
02:11Anstey a little quicker in, a little quicker out.
02:14And now you've got Lopes looking up behind him on his teammate, Cody Schock.
02:17That's not a good sign.
02:18And if you're Max Anstey, that little gap that you've got allows you to take the lines that you want.
02:23Look at McElrath.
02:23Here comes McElrath, trying to make a move.
02:25But guess what?
02:26Cody Schock takes advantage of it on the 69.
02:31And he will be back in front of McElrath.
02:33And these are your top four in points, so seeing him up front is not surprising.
02:38But the order's a little bit different than we've seen this year.
02:40Shane McElrath has had a tough go as your defending champ.
02:43He had body issues at round one, bike issues at round two, but he looks better tonight.
02:47Keep an eye on the 43 back behind them, the red bike.
02:51That's Cullen Park, who just missed out on Super Bowl by, what, a hundredth of a second, something like that.
02:57And here he is in fifth and closing.
03:00And the guy that he's been battling with all season long, Cole Thompson, is two spots back behind him.
03:06Maxime Desprez between the two.
03:08Here's McElrath looking inside.
03:10His shot takes the spot away.
03:12And McElrath moves up into the top three.
03:14And I think we're seeing the passing spots on this track.
03:17It's after the whoops, after the finish, and in the first corner.
03:20Those are the 180s.
03:21Oh, look at Schock coming back up the inside.
03:23Cody Schock up the inside.
03:27McElrath trying to find a way to defend it.
03:30He gets a pretty good drive off the corner.
03:31Hugs to the inside.
03:33Great side-by-side battle, but Schock is a little quicker off the corner and into the wall jump.
03:38That was great defense by Cody Schock.
03:40Jay McElrath wanted to get him back with that right-handed 180.
03:43Schock gave him nowhere to go.
03:44But now, look, Colin Parks joined the party.
03:47Yeah, as we said, all that fighting between McElrath and Schock has allowed Park to close right in.
04:01McElrath right along the top blocks as he blitzes through the woods.
04:05He was very quick through there.
04:06Yeah, and last lap he was closer, so he had the chance to make the pass.
04:09This lap, he was a little further behind, but you saw Enzo Lopes having a little issue there, too,
04:14where Anstey is really starting to check on these guys in that section en route.
04:18We talk about the Starks' new speed, but Anstey's been great in the whoops, too.
04:21We're seeing it now early in sprint race one.
04:23Shane McElrath, the reigning SX2 champion.
04:30Oh, McElrath way loose, and Park gets by.
04:36Park clips the top blocks, and that'll give McElrath a chance to come back,
04:40but he can't get it done through that rhythm lane, and Colin Park moves himself up to fourth,
04:45and the reigning champ slips back another spot in frustration.
04:50And that's how quick things can change.
04:51Remember, two laps ago, he's playing offense.
04:53He's looking for a way around shock.
04:55One mistake turns to two, and the next thing you know, you're on defense,
04:58and then the big mistake lets Colin Park by.
05:01And now for Colin, you've got a free run at Cody Shock.
05:03What can you do with a little open track?
05:05Well, and it also continues the problems for Shane McElrath,
05:08who had physical issues at the opener, Argentina, mechanical issues in Vancouver,
05:15and today, I don't know, what would you call it, Daniel, just riding issues?
05:19Yeah, little mistake.
05:20I mean, one turns to two, and that happens as a racer.
05:22When you make a bobble, it's hard to recover, get back on pace,
05:26and then when you make the second one, you start second-guessing.
05:29That leads to a third mistake, and it's really hard to recover.
05:32The rider who's making no mistakes is Max Antian.
05:35This is why that pass on lap one was so important.
05:37He's been able to ride somewhat free since then,
05:41and if he would have settled into Lopes' pace,
05:42this could be a completely different race,
05:44but he did what he needed to do early.
05:46Max Antian was crowned champion of the SX2 category in 2023.
05:51He is well on his way to his 16th race win in SX2 competition in his career.
06:00McElrath sitting here in fifth.
06:03This one winding down quickly, scheduled for eight laps,
06:0610 points up for grabs, and even though Max had issues in qualifying and Super Bowl,
06:12he's looking to be perfect still in race competition.
06:15And I got to point out, the track looks good compared to what we saw in qualifying.
06:20They got some moisture in.
06:21They worked it in.
06:22But it's still slick, and it might even be a tougher type of slick
06:25because that little bit of water they put on,
06:27it might take a race before it really works itself in.
06:30So you see these mistakes.
06:31These are coming from maybe a little bit of a false impression on what that dirt looks like
06:35and what it really feels like.
06:37Here's one of the spots, Antian is so good as he rips across the top of the woods.
06:42Yeah, it's the entry speed.
06:43I mean, when you come in that committed, that trusting, that fast,
06:46you can just carry your way out.
06:47We saw Lopes make a little mistake here and there,
06:49and that's all from the entry speed.
06:51And Max, that confidence, we've seen it from A to Z.
06:54Everything he's doing this year is just on another level.
06:56And the best battle on the racetrack is coming up right here.
06:59It's a fight for third between the 69 and the Rick Ware Racing Arby's Vax Machines
07:04of Cody Shock and closing in on it fast as the Model Concepts Racing
07:09entry to the number 43 of Cullen Park
07:11as we are on the final lap here in the opening race of the day
07:14at the Australian GP.
07:17We've been talking all week.
07:19Cullen Park's riding has not matched the results,
07:22but it's been from issues outside of his control.
07:24A big second place finish in the first race of the year,
07:27and then issue after issue after issue.
07:29So this is a big bounce back and a rebound for Cullen Park.
07:32Here's Max charging at you once again.
07:36To the finish line, Jeff,
07:38and Max Anstey gets career race victory number 16
07:43with two more possibly getting added to that total here tonight
07:48as we get set for race two and three in a little bit
07:51in SX2 competition.
07:54Lopes, Shock, Park.
