2025 Supercross WSX Australia 450 Race 2
Transcript
00:00Next to Roxen and Savace and Anderson and Craig all over there to the far right of the gate.
00:06Get ready, here we go.
00:09World Supercross Championship Australian GP SX1 category race number two.
00:22And it looks like it's going to be Tixie on the 911 getting a tremendous start
00:27and jumping out in front of everybody.
00:32Wow, Cooper Webb.
00:36Yeah, Cooper gets by and gets out front and now Cooper doing what Cooper does and that's pull away.
00:43Yeah, and he is so smart, so crafty.
00:47His ability to nail that start and not only the start but the first corner, then aggression right off the top.
00:53I asked Jace, can he do it from out there?
00:55Well, he just answered, he can't and now he gets the lead in World Supercross.
00:59Savace is already around Tixie as well.
01:01He's up to second.
01:02Here comes Anderson on the 21 and now Ombre makes the move to take over third
01:08and Tixie is dropping the anchor on that 911 and falling quickly back through the field.
01:13And we are about to see a display from Eli Tomac and Ken Roxen who are both outside of the top five
01:20battling with riders that they're not typically around.
01:23This is going to be a very important first two laps for the number one of the 94.
01:26Here comes Tomac from eighth.
01:28He's got Devin Simonson in there with him as they're working through the field.
01:35And there's Roxen back in the middle.
01:36And the crowd is cheering.
01:40I believe Hayden Deegan and Jason Anderson.
01:43Here it is right here.
01:44There's Deegan and there's Anderson.
01:46Deegan on the blue bike, Anderson on the yellow.
01:50And I think the introduction has been made.
01:52The crowd went crazy.
01:54Deegan goes by as we watch Tomac and Roxen.
01:58Looks like a Stark off the side.
02:00Vince Grease off the side of the track.
02:02Ralph, we are getting some action early in these races in the front, in the middle.
02:08Roxen all the way back in 11th trying to fight his way through.
02:12Meanwhile, Cooper Webb, two seconds up on Joey Savace in the lead.
02:16Here's Roxen around to the outside, cuts to the inside.
02:20And he picks off two or three right there in one corner.
02:24This track is racing so awesome right now.
02:28It's dropped.
02:28Oh, Christian Craig.
02:30Craig goes down on the 28.
02:33Back up and going, but he's going to lose a spot or two.
02:36He's back at 11th right now.
02:39And you know what?
02:40If you're Ryan Brees, good on you, man.
02:43Get up front with these guys.
02:45It's not often you get Eli Tomac and Jason Anderson.
02:48This is a great opportunity for him to make a name for himself just in the battle alone.
02:52Tomac to the inside on Brees, gets around the 200.
02:55He'll move up a spot that puts him to fifth.
02:58Brees is not done.
03:00He's going to battle with him.
03:01But as they come over the finish line jump, it's a couple of bike lengths now between Tomac and Brees as they exit off the corner.
03:13Here's Anderson still chasing Deegan.
03:15That's a fight for third.
03:17It's Webb, Savace, Deegan, and Anderson.
03:19And Webb is up 3.7.
03:23I'll tell you, there is no mind like Cooper Webb's.
03:25His ability to learn and adjust in between races, execute his start and be gone.
03:30That's just special.
03:32And how about Hayden Deegan now making his way up to Joey Savace.
03:35And I'll tell you what, he is running from the 21 of Jason Anderson.
03:38There was contact made.
03:40And this 450 debut has gotten a little spicier here at race number two.
03:45Savace, that bike dancing around on him.
03:47Deegan gets across the woods beautifully.
03:50Carries a tremendous amount of speed through that corner.
03:53And Hayden Deegan closes in on Joey Savace.
03:57Man, that rear end really kicking out on the 38 Yamaha.
04:02Deegan is charging.
04:04I like the way he rides the bike.
04:06You know, Ralph, there's this discussion about having to modernize around the 450 and make changes.
04:11He will over time, but he's not going to change who he is.
04:14He comes from that Carmichael, Tomac vein where he rides with everything he's got.
04:20He will become a better version of this, but he ain't going to change.
04:23He has caught Savace, and the race is on for second here in SX1 race number two.
04:31Hayden Deegan making his final Supercross appearance for 2025 and 2026 on a 450.
04:40He'll go back to a 250 for the AMA Championship.
04:43Deegan going for second.
04:44Over the finish line, jump far to far.
04:47He cuts inside.
04:48Down low.
04:49He got him.
04:50Hayden Deegan takes second and looks over to Savace and says,
04:53better get used to me, pal.
04:55Here I come.
04:56For a 19-year-old to have that kind of race craft.
04:59Big mistake there, and Savace goes right back by.
05:02Deegan back to the inside.
05:05Cuts down low.
05:06Big handball for the least back out in front.
05:10Wow, man.
05:1119 years old, making mistakes.
05:14That's okay.
05:15So aggressive.
05:16Oh, and right into the face of that rhythm jump.
05:19And look at Anderson now coming up to battle on the Suzuki.
05:23Three riders fighting it out.
05:25Yamaha, Suzuki, and Honda battling here with the KTM of the champ, Eli Tomac, getting into the mix.
05:32What a great lesson for Hayden Deegan to fight with these tremendous racers and be in front of the pack.
05:39He's got to stop looking back, though.
05:40Yeah, that'll be learned over time.
05:42He'll have to stop looking back.
05:44But right now, I think he's just making sure he doesn't get blasted because he's playing with the big boys.
05:49He's playing rough.
05:50Oh, no.
05:51He's down.
05:52He tucked the front and goes down in the corner.
05:56What a shame.
05:57And, Daniel, I've got to believe some of that is because he was looking too much back.
06:03Yeah.
06:03And you're not focusing so much on what's in front of you.
06:06100 percent.
06:07But he is here to learn.
06:09Brian said it.
06:10We're here to learn so many lessons.
06:12Go back and just review those couple laps.
06:15There are so many lessons in that.
06:17I love what I see.
06:19It was so, so good.
06:22Oh, Tomac with a huge mistake.
06:25Don't worry about it, Hayden.
06:26Even the best in the world.
06:27That's right.
06:28The legends make mistakes, too.
06:29And what a fun race.
06:32And Roxanne got around Tomac, who has another bobble right there.
06:36Savace is up in front of those two.
06:38He's in third.
06:38And it's Roxanne and Tomac rounding out the top five.
06:42And Brice, he finally gets him back.
06:44After all of that, he gets to pass Eli Tomac.
06:46And we are on the final lap.
06:49What a night of racing here at the Australian GP.
06:52And Tomac is still struggling with the backside of that Red Bull.
06:56KTM.
06:57Meanwhile, this guy out front, Cooper Webb, on a wild card appearance here tonight,
07:03having a tremendous run at the Australian GP race number two.
07:07He has no clue what is going on behind him.
07:10And let me tell you, he does not care.
07:12He didn't want anything to do with that.
07:14And that all goes back to that execution.
07:16This man is so smart, so calculated.
07:19Oh, well, he's going to, there you go.
07:21There's a three, a three, and a two.
07:24So he found it, Ralph.
07:24You asked.
07:25There it is.
07:26Cooper Webb.
07:27Sheckard flag lighting the candles here at the Australian GP
07:30with a victory in race number two for SX1.
07:34Anderson, a superb ride to second.
07:37Oh, and down goes, is that Craig?
07:40Yes.
07:41Craig goes down.
07:43Unfortunately, he had a top five finish.
07:45That goes out the window.
07:47Wow.
07:47Oh, what a race here in race number two.
07:51Anderson, Cevacci, Roxanne, and Breeze round out the top five in this one.
07:58That's exhausting, and we didn't even race that one.
08:00I'm tired.
08:00My heart rate is at least 150, maybe more.
08:04And, Ralph, that's why the fans show up.
08:06It's for that.
08:07That's what makes Supercross so special.
08:09It's the unknown.
08:10It's the unpredictable.
08:12And we got all of it right there.
08:14Great ride to Cooper Webb to avoid all of that.
08:17All right, Kristen, take it away.
08:20You guys, I have something to show you.
