00:00We're in Stockholm, Sweden.
00:02The Swedish GP continues with the gate drop now.
00:13Anderson on the inside.
00:15Huge break for the Pipes Motorsports Group number 21.
00:19That is exactly what he needed to do.
00:21Joey Savace had him out of the gate,
00:24but Joey checked up a little bit too much.
00:26He played it safe.
00:27Anderson powered in and then braked hard.
00:29Oh, man, look at the 719 come flying into the screen here.
00:34And we've got a new leader as Vince Friese gets to the lead,
00:39and we haven't seen Friese do anything so far this year,
00:42and he finally comes to the top of the field.
00:45Yeah, picked the right weekend to do it too
00:46with all the Stark bosses in attendance,
00:49but he's got three Wolves right behind him
00:52and Anderson, Savace, and Craig, here goes Ombre.
00:55El Ombre, Jason Anderson trying to get around Friese,
00:58and he does so.
00:59New leader once again here, and Anderson gets loose.
01:02Friese cuts back to the inside,
01:04and Friese wide open on that throttle,
01:07trying to get to the front here and hang on.
01:10And now it's Savace closing inside on Friese.
01:12If you're Anderson, go now and try to use Friese as a buffer
01:18in between you and Joey Savace.
01:20He might not get that chance.
01:23Oh, Vince is never going to give in, so this isn't over,
01:26but Anderson needed to use him.
01:28Didn't get to there.
01:30Savace.
01:30Oh, down goes a rider in third.
01:32That's Craig.
01:34Craig, who is battling for his spot in the top three,
01:36is down in the dirt, unfortunately for him.
01:39That's really going to hinder his chances at this championship.
01:43And in this three-rider fight between Savace, Anderson, and Craig,
01:46he leads the three.
01:48This is going to be a very, very important race for him.
01:51Don't override.
01:53Don't overreact to this moment.
01:55Just pick a way if you can,
01:57but this is going to be very costly here early in sprint race two.
02:00Watch the rider in fourth.
02:01Craig, right there, he catches that rut, Daniel,
02:04and it throws him right to the ground.
02:05Yeah, those braking bumps on the bottom of that triple landing right there.
02:08Again, you want suspension to work for you everywhere,
02:11but you've got to give a little here, take a little there,
02:14and I think his front end just got popped by that braking bump,
02:17put him on the ground,
02:18and now he's got about a five, six-lap moto
02:20to really, really make some good decisions as we see Jason fighting.
02:26Hang on, Jason Anderson.
02:27Quick look over the shoulder to see where Savace is at.
02:31Now, so Savace is going to move to second in the championship.
02:34It was Christian Craig, but with him going down,
02:37now Joey holding down the race lead right now,
02:41or second in the race, behind Anderson,
02:44moves to second overall here.
02:46They are fighting.
02:48I mean, I love the physicality that they have to ride with.
02:51I mean, this is one of those races
02:52where your mind and your body have to be in sync
02:55because your focus can't let up for a tenth,
02:58but your body can't either,
02:59so it's decision-making all through this race.
03:02Every inch of this track is going to make you react.
03:06Oh, no.
03:07There it is.
03:08The 29 Henry Miller having issues
03:12on his Rick Ware race at Arby's back machine.
03:17He was fourth in the first one.
03:19Tough break here.
03:20I'm watching that leaderboard.
03:21Craig is up to tenth.
03:22Every single spot will matter.
03:25Every point will matter,
03:26especially in this type of a dogfight for a championship.
03:29Let's see what happened to Miller here.
03:32See if we can find him.
03:34Oh, there he goes.
03:34Down on the inside.
03:37Politelli was there.
03:38The 99, and Zaragoza was in there on the start.
03:42And here's Savace going for the lead.
03:45Oh, and Anderson pulls away
03:47as he takes to the high side of the berm.
03:49Anderson knows he's there now.
03:51He's right back.
03:51Anderson takes him wide.
03:52Oh!
03:53And down goes Joey.
03:55Anderson took him wide, stood him up,
03:57and Joey goes down into the dirt.
04:00I'll tell you what.
04:00Jason Anderson, if you look through his career history,
04:03he can get you, especially if he's behind you.
04:05He's got an aggressive racing style,
04:08but that was defense done right.
04:10He checked him up, slowed up just in time
04:13to put Joey on the ground.
04:15This isn't dirty.
04:16This is calculated.
04:17Stops, holds him up.
04:19Joey grabs a little bit of throttle.
04:21He goes down.
04:21That is a super good racer, and Jason Anderson
04:25doing it a different way.
04:27And not only was it calculated,
04:29but it was perfectly executed.
04:31And how tough was that to do in this race, Daniel,
04:34when this racetrack is so chewed up, so beat up?
04:38To be able to control your motorcycle perfectly like that
04:41is a real testament to the skill set of Jason Anderson.
04:45Oh, it's a talent.
04:45I mean, and he executed.
04:47The problem is he used it up in a race
04:49where he's only going to get one point on Joey Savace.
04:53So if you're Joey now, you're probably mad.
04:55You're a little frustrated.
04:56And maybe you owe the 21 a little something throughout this series.
05:00So you'd like to use up something like that when you get more points.
05:03He's only going to get one out of it.
05:04Yeah, but you said earlier every point's going to matter in this deal,
05:08and it could come down to one point in South Africa.
05:10So that ass could be the difference in the championship
05:14when we're all said and done.
05:15You just don't know.
05:16And we also don't know, because we have a lap and a half to go here,
05:21something else catastrophic could happen,
05:23and Joey could fall further back,
05:25and then it becomes even more points.
05:26He's got like five riders all bunched up,
05:29and this is great for Christian Craig because they're all together.
05:32If you take this lap or two real smart here,
05:36you can get a few more guys, salvage all those points you lost
05:38when you hit the ground.
05:39And Christian Craig is finding his way back up through the...
05:41Oh, and that's the 98 that is down.
05:45That's Politelli, and he's trapped under the bike right now,
05:50trying to get out from under it.
05:53He's in an awkward spot right there.
05:54Yeah.
05:56Craig has fought his way back up to fifth, though.
05:59Credit to him keeping himself alive,
06:01minimizing the damage in this race.
06:04Anderson, Savace, Nichols, Tixier, Craig, and Breezy
06:07still in the top ten on the start.
06:10Anderson on the final lap here.
06:14He needed this one.
06:16This will be his first race win of 2025
06:18of the World Supercross Championship.
06:20Perfect time to get it to.
06:21Good ride, Jason.
06:22Jason Anderson, debuting with the Pipes Motorsports Group here in 2025,
06:27takes the win in SX1 race number two.
06:32Colton Nichols will take third.
06:36Here comes the rest of the field to the line.
06:38Christian Craig's going to manage to get fourth
06:41and salvage quite a few points as he just gets in front.
