00:00under ransack and lay waste to the competition this is the highly coveted world championship
00:05crown school and drop the gate
00:08headed into turn one and asked he thought he was going to get the whole shot instead he's
00:17going to be back behind at least two different riders he's got hicks in front of him in the
00:21lead and macklerath right there on the number one in second place and this is australia all
00:28over again it's the same two riders maybe even enzel lopes but ralph the stark michael hicks is
00:33up front he has been good all day long here in stockholm and he is showing it again here
00:39as they rip into the whoop hat for the first time at speed they are ripping right now this track is
00:45perfect you're about to see the most aggressive attack laps all night long this track is going to
00:51change oh it's going to change but right now it is good and it is fast this is by far the softest dirt
00:57anybody can ever remember racing on when you talk to the riders they say in their entire career
01:03this is quite possibly the softest dirt they've ever been on daniel i'd love to find a couch as
01:08soft as some of this dirt yeah well a couch with velcro because these guys are being sucked to the
01:13ground at all times and there's parts of the track that stay pretty good and there's parts
01:17that are just going to absolutely run up whoa shame well and anstee sitting right now in third
01:24as we see mclerath get a little too wide and up into the tough blocks he has been absolutely perfect
01:29in every race we've had so far this year coming into round four here in stockholm he hasn't lost a
01:35race could this be the first one as we approach the halfway point this might be it and look he's got
01:40two things on his mind bummer forenzo lopes your super pole winner but if you're max anstee you've
01:47got the championship that's the big picture that's what you want the most but he's also been perfect
01:51and these riders are so competitive they don't know anything but winning especially when you've won
01:56nine straight so a lot on the plate tonight for max anstee and for hicks what an upset it would be
02:03if he could win this one good timing too i mean think about the bosses are in town ralph this would be
02:08the night to do it watch this for enzo lopes here on the 16 he's running in fourth oh he just gets
02:15a little wide and the rear end comes all the way around yeah the rear was going out but then the
02:19front kind of did a little bit of a little bit of a tuck there too at the very end but i mean michael
02:23higgs ralph is not just winning he's pulling away right now and he looks flawless he was great at
02:29super pole so i'm not surprised no nobody should be surprised at the fact that michael higgs is at the
02:34front of the field this is an arena cross he's well more than comfortable leading and winning
02:39races and championships in that form of two-wheel motorsport competition racetracks are a little bit
02:45tighter than what we're racing on here tonight yeah not just the racetrack but the environment i mean
02:50if you're michael hicks you've got the defending champ behind you you've got a former world supercross
02:55champ behind you he's pulling away but it's a big night for max and he's starting to make his way back
03:00up to second i i love the way this is setting up while the track is still in race conditions he's
03:05closing in on macklerath the 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 macklerath and hicks if he's going to pull it off not the best lap look at this
03:25macklerath coming after hicks now which could help anstey close that gap absolutely
03:30it's better for max anstey if this thing tightens up and becomes a congested battle and for hicks
03:36he just had a rough lap right there and shane is starting to warm up here they come macklerath right
03:41alongside of hicks hicks has led all the way but with two laps to go is he about to get the challenge
03:47he can't handle macklerath and anstey closing in quickly anstey on the team gsm machine number 99
03:54back in third going inside trying to get macklerath into the whoops they go macklerath on the inside
04:00he's got the lead anstey gets second the fight rages on here in stockholm and that's a piece of
04:06world supercross right there we've seen it all season one wide two three four wide at times
04:12and great move by max anstey to take advantage quick there and don't let shane macklerath get too
04:17comfortable out front the reigning world champ leads right now the points leader and former world
04:21champion on the 99 max anstey sits in second he wants the lead he wants to stay perfect
04:27he's trying to get to the outside macklerath takes the line away great defense by shane right there to
04:33hold him up check him up in the corner but ralph this is australia raise three all over again oh he
04:38makes a mistake does macklerath and anstey pounces and capitalizes max anstey back into the lead in an
04:45sx2 race here in 2025 oh push him bump him out of the way keep that lead if you can
04:51pretty physical in that last corner but anstey around the outside of the berm coming to the
04:56finish line jump here getting ready to get into the final lap great race craft by both riders oh shane's
05:03gonna lose a bunch of time there but this is max anstey ralph we see it from the front if he gets a
05:10mid-pack start it doesn't matter he finds a way every single race and if he can hold on we'll be at
05:1610 and 0 what a start to the night here he comes max anstey he's gonna have one to go
05:22that was a great lap too 50.8 shane played a lot of defense did a 53.6 obviously a lot slower
05:30but for anstey to not only get the lead but also make enough room to be able to comfortably take
05:36the lines that he wants in this final lap i mean well played by the undefeated max anstey
05:44and he's a few corners away from continuing the perfect season and another 10 points towards his
05:52championship that he's craving here in 2025 looking to become a multi-time champ here in the sx2 category
06:00anstey hasn't been the quickest all night but he has found a way again to get himself to the front
06:11here he comes towards the finish line jump max anstey perfect still in 2025 a weather's the storm
06:19of hicks and macklerath here in race number one and we didn't see cody shock much in that race he had to
06:25make some passes but 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 so
06:35a quiet off-screen great
