00:00...under, ransack, and lay waste to the competition.

00:03This is the highly coveted World Championship crown.

00:06Skull and drop the gate!

00:13Headed into Turn 1 and Anstead thought he was going to get the whole shot instead.

00:17He's going to be back behind at least two different riders.

00:20He's got Hicks in front of him in the lead,

00:22and McElrath right there on the number one in second place.

00:25And this is Australia all over again.

00:28It's the same two riders, maybe even Enzo Lopes,

00:31but Ralph, the Stark Michael Hicks is up front.

00:34He has been good all day long here in Stockholm,

00:38and he is showing it again here as a rip into the Whoop-Patt for the first time at speed.

00:43They are ripping right now.

00:45This track is perfect.

00:46You're about to see the most aggressive attack laps all night long.

00:50This track is going to change.

00:52Oh, it's going to change, but right now it is good and it is fast.

00:55This is by far the softest dirt anybody can ever remember racing on.

00:59When you talk to the riders, they say in their entire career,

01:03this is quite possibly the softest dirt they've ever been on.

01:06Daniel, I'd love to find a couch as soft as some of this dirt.

01:09Yeah, well, a couch with Velcro because these guys are being sucked to the ground at all times,

01:14and there's parts of the track that stay pretty good,

01:17and there's parts that are just going to absolutely run up.

01:20Whoa, shame.

01:21Well, and Anstey sitting right now in third as we see McElrath get a little too wide

01:26and up into the tough blocks.

01:27He has been absolutely perfect in every race we've had so far this year

01:31coming into round four here in Stockholm.

01:34He hasn't lost a race.

01:36Could this be the first one as we approach the halfway point?

01:39This might be it, and look, he's got two things on his mind.

01:43Bummer for Enzo Lopes, your Super Bowl winner,

01:45but if you're Max Anstey, you've got the championship.

01:48That's the big picture.

01:49That's what you want the most, but he's also been perfect,

01:51and these riders are so competitive.

01:53They don't know anything but winning, especially when you've won nine straight,

01:57so a lot on the plate tonight for Max Anstey.

02:00And for Hicks, what an upset it would be if he could win this one.

02:05Good timing, too.

02:06I mean, think about the bosses are in town, Ralph.

02:08This would be the night to do it.

02:10Watch this for Enzo Lopes here on the 16.

02:13He's running in fourth.

02:14Oh, he just gets a little wide, and the rear end comes all the way around.

02:17Yeah, the rear was going out, but then the front kind of did a little bit of a tuck there, too,

02:21at the very end.

02:22But, I mean, Michael Hicks, Ralph, is not just winning.

02:25He's pulling away right now.

02:28I mean, he looks flawless.

02:29He was great at the Super Bowl, so I'm not surprised.

02:31No, nobody should be surprised at the fact that Michael Hicks is at the front of the field.

02:35This is an arena cross.

02:36He's well more than comfortable leading and winning races and championships in that form

02:41of two-wheel motorsport competition.

02:44Racetracks are a little bit tighter than what we're racing on here tonight.

02:47Yeah, not just the racetrack, but the environment.

02:50I mean, if you're Michael Hicks, you've got the defending champ behind you.

02:53You've got a former World Supercross champ behind you.

02:56He's pulling away, but it's a big night for Max, and he's starting to make his way back up to second.

03:01I love the way this is setting up while the track is still in race conditions.

03:04He's closing in on McElrath.

03:06The fight for second has developed here in race number one for SX2.

03:10Max Anstey looking to be perfect still in 2025 World Supercross competition in this 250 category.

03:17He's got to get around McElrath and Hicks if he's going to pull it off.

03:23Not the best lap for Hicks.

03:24Oh, and look at this.

03:25McElrath coming after Hicks now, which could help Anstey close that gap.

03:29Absolutely.

03:30It's better for Max Anstey if this thing tightens up and becomes a congested battle.

03:35And for Hicks, he just had a rough lap right there, and Shane is starting to warm up.

03:39Here they come.

03:40McElrath right alongside of Hicks.

03:43Hicks has led all the way, but with two laps to go, is he about to get the challenge he can't handle?

03:48McElrath and Anstey closing in quickly.

03:51Anstey on the Team GSN machine.

03:53Number 99 back in third.

03:55Going inside.

03:56Trying to get McElrath.

03:57Into the whoops they go.

03:58McElrath on the inside.

04:01He's got the lead.

04:02Anstey gets second.

04:03The fight rages on here in Stockholm.

04:06And that's a piece of World Supercross right there.

04:08We've seen it all season.

04:09One wide.

04:10Two, three, four wide at times.

04:12And great move by Max Anstey to take advantage quick there.

04:15And don't let Shane McElrath get too comfortable out front.

04:17The reigning world champ leads right now.

04:20The points leader and former world champion on the 99, Max Anstey, sits in second.

04:25He wants the lead.

04:26He wants to stay perfect.

04:28He's trying to get to the outside.

04:29McElrath takes the line away.

04:31Great defense by Shane right there to hold him up.

04:34Check him up in the corner.

04:35But, Ralph, this is Australia.

04:36Race three.

04:37All over again.

04:38Oh, he makes a mistake, does McElrath.

04:40And Anstey pounces and capitalizes.

04:43Max Anstey back into the lead in an SX2 race here in 2025.

04:47Oh, push him.

04:48Bump him out of the way.

04:49Keep that lead if you can.

04:51Pretty physical in that last corner.

04:53But Anstey around the outside of the berm coming to the finish line jump here.

04:58Getting ready to get into the final lap.

05:01Great race craft by both riders.

05:03Oh, Shane's going to lose a bunch of time there.

05:04But this is Max Anstey, Ralph.

05:07We see it from the front.

05:09If he gets a mid-pack start, it doesn't matter.

05:12He finds a way every single race.

05:15And if he can hold on, we'll be at 10-0.

05:17What a start to the night.

05:19Here he comes.

05:20Max Anstey is going to have one to go.

05:23That was a great lap, too.

05:2550.8.

05:26Shane played a lot of defense.

05:28Did a 53.6.

05:29Obviously a lot slower.

05:31But for Anstey to not only get the lead, but also make enough room to be able to comfortably take the lines that he wants.

05:37In this final lap.

05:38I mean, well played by the undefeated Max Anstey.

05:43And he's a few corners away from continuing the perfect season.

05:48And another 10 points towards his championship that he's craving here in 2025.

05:55Looking to become a multi-time champ here in the SX2 category.

06:04Anstey hasn't been the quickest all night, but he has found a way again to get himself to the front.

06:11Here he comes.

06:12Towards the finish line jump.

06:13Max Anstey.

06:14Perfect still in 2025.

06:16And he weathers the storm of Hicks and McElrath here in race number one.

06:23And we didn't see Cody Shock much in that race.

06:25He had to make some passes.

06:26But that's super valuable for him because he's the one 28 points down.

06:30And he can't give up too much tonight if he wants to take this title fight to South Africa.

06:34So a quiet, off-screen great run.
