00:00So they don't run into each other here.
00:01They're getting themselves situated.
00:03There's Liam Dodds in there.
00:04Caden Lewis as well.
00:06Politelli, Mages, Colassian in the back row.
00:09Hayden Robinson as well getting himself lined up.
00:12There's Bitterman, team underdog.
00:13Let's see if he can get that start.
00:14He was awesome in the whoop section in that heat race.
00:17Let's see if he can bring that same intensity to this main event.
00:21A full-time working man out there.
00:23He'll have to go to work on Monday morning to get himself all back into work life.
00:27We were talking in that press conference.
00:30We asked him, what's he eat for lunch nowadays at the office?
00:33And he says, a lot of Mexican.
00:34A lot of Mexicans, so makes himself a good old burrito.
00:37Makes himself a good old burrito out there.
00:39As the mechanics are getting themselves ready to go.
00:41Brad AutomotoCo down there and Scotty Tokes getting themselves ready to go.
00:45All the officials getting everything lined up.
00:48This will be an 18-lap main event.
00:5318 laps, only about a 23-second-ish lap time.
00:56So, a very short race, but 18 laps.
00:58Get yourself dizzy, get yourself in focus.
01:00It's so unique how Arena Cross racers can stay focused all race long to bring out that win.
01:06Politelli got that inside gate.
01:07Thompson right beside Brees.
01:09And then Bitterman and then Wageman just in behind there.
01:13Or in beside, sorry.
01:14Getting ready to go.
01:1518 laps for main event, everyone.
01:19And however you finish in this main event is how you get your gate pick.
01:22And look at the ruts.
01:23Didn't get any track maintenance on those.
01:25I love that, though.
01:26Gate pick is really key here.
01:29Boise, Idaho.
01:30Round number two.
01:31FIM North American Arena Cross.
01:33All the boys focused and ready to go.
01:35The heads are down.
01:36The revs are up.
01:36We're getting ready to race.
01:37The gate's down.
01:38A slow start by Wageman, but he gets himself out.
01:40Swing it wide.
01:41Brees pushes him wide.
01:43Thompson to the inside.
01:44Oh, and Brees goes down.
01:45The red plate hits the dirt.
01:47He slingshots wide.
01:48Loses that front end.
01:49They're going to be coming into the next section.
01:51Nobody's going to hit them.
01:52Yellow flags might have been waving.
01:54Ryan Brees, the MCR Honda going all the way to the back.
01:56Somebody else is down as well.
01:58Fapani's down.
01:58Majes is down.
01:59And I think that might have been Wageman as well.
02:02Not too sure.
02:04But the red plate right now has got a lot of work to do.
02:06Ryan Brees already making passes right now.
02:09Oh, Cason that jump.
02:10A scary first lap for a bunch of races.
02:13And look at this.
02:14Thompson.
02:15I think he's in that second spot.
02:16And it is Politelli.
02:18No, it's Wageman, I think, in the front of the pack.
02:20As Stice goes by Zod at the back of the pack.
02:22To the front of the pack.
02:24We've got to find out who is leading this race at the moment.
02:26I think it is the number 14.
02:28There's the 16.
02:29Bitterman up the inside.
02:30Thompson hangs on.
02:31No, it's Politelli leading the way.
02:33The MCR number 98.
02:34Wageman in that second spot.
02:35His teammate on the Solitaire Hot Sauce.
02:38Heartbeat Hot Sauce right now sitting in third.
02:40But Bitterman team underground right there.
02:42And where is Brees?
02:44How far is Brees moving himself up?
02:45As Politelli leading the way.
02:47They're going to get in a lap track already.
02:49Wageman, Thompson, Bitterman.
02:50One, two, three, and four.
02:52Crossing that finish line.
02:54And there it is.
02:55Politelli, Thompson, Bitterman.
02:57Lewis, Stice, Dodds.
02:59I feel like we might have a transponder issue right there.
03:02So let's not pay attention to that.
03:03I feel like Politelli is in that third position.
03:06Or sorry, in the lead right now.
03:08Politelli, Thompson.
03:10We've lost Wageman at the moment right now.
03:12We're hearing the crowd in the background making lots of noise.
03:15There's action all over the place right now.
03:17Brees looks like he's up to about seventh.
03:19Morales right in front of him right now.
03:21So it looks like Wageman might have lost the transponder.
03:24Not too sure what's going on right there.
03:26We'll have to keep tabs on sure of that.
03:27But right now we know Politelli is in the lead on the 98.
03:31I believe Wageman is in that second spot.
03:34We'll see how that works out.
03:35Bitterman right there sitting in, I believe, third spot as we're getting in there.
03:42Brees is starting to really catch pace with there.
03:45You're going to see Brees right there jumping in.
03:47So Brees still has a shot at getting himself into a podium threat right now.
03:50Craziness.
03:51There's Cole Thompson right now.
03:52The 16.
03:53We think he is in third position.
03:54And Wageman sitting in that second spot as the Wageman transponder.
03:59Still picking up, though, down at the back.
04:01We'll have to work that in.
04:02Fipani, he's now back in that 12 spot.
04:05He was one of the riders, unfortunately, going down right now.
04:08Blue flags waving all over the place to do.
04:10Our leader, though, there is no mistaking that.
04:14AP98, Ostapolitelli, MCR, Honda.
04:18Mike Genova is right now sitting pretty in the stands.
04:21Very happy with how he's sitting.
04:23But here's Cole Thompson, number 16, who we believe is in that third position.
04:27The crowd going down again.
04:28Oh, one of the riders right there.
04:30That is the 6-18 of Sumners making a big mistake.
04:35The crowd was all in it.
04:36And there's Brees.
04:36Oh, more riders going down.
04:38Morris tries to pull out of the way.
04:39And I think he pulled in the way.
04:41Take it out.
04:42And Caden Lewis, he's going to lose the front end right there.
04:44And he's going off the pond.
04:46He's going backwards down the star straight.
04:47It's pandemonium here in main event number one.
04:51No idea what's going on right now.
04:53The craziness of Renacross.
04:55And that is why you buy the ticket.
04:57You only need the edge of the seat right there.
04:59But I'll tell you what.
05:00You get the action packed.
05:01Thompson right now, again, we think he is in third position.
05:06And Politelli, though, still in the lead.
05:08We think Wageman in that second spot.
05:09But Brees.
05:10Brees has somehow figured out a way to get himself right back into this race.
05:14A hell of a ride by Ryan Brees at the moment.
05:16Coming all the way from dead last after grabbing that hole shot.
05:19And tipping over right into the look section right here.
05:22And there it is.
05:22The red plate number 200.
05:23Doing what he needs to do.
05:25Champions do damage control.
05:27That's what they do here in races like this.
05:30Liam Dodds, the young Canadian, having himself a good ride.
05:32Sitting in that 13th spot.
05:33Politelli right there.
05:34The 98 shining good in there.
05:37It's still Wageman right now.
05:40Says in that 9th spot.
05:41But still picking away.
05:42So we'll just have to wait to see if the scoring is a mistake on that one.
05:45Not too sure if he went down on that.
05:47Cameras were unable to grab that second turn crash.
05:49Wasn't sure if it was Wageman or not.
05:51But he's rebounded well.
05:52Coming through the pack.
05:54Politelli, Thompson, Brees on the live timing scoreboard right now.
05:59Politelli getting hung up with Dave Morales.
06:01Not able to get that triple.
06:02But either was Wageman as well.
06:04So the 98 still in the lead.
06:06Looking good as we're winding down this main event number one.
06:10And once again, wherever you fit or finish in this main event is what gate pick you get for main event number two.
06:16So it is all important to make sure you finish in those spots.
06:20And Wageman is definitely clicking by.
06:22It says he's behind Stice right now.
06:23So maybe the timing is all right right there.
06:25And he is in that 7th spot.
06:27And he's going to get by Stice as Politelli able to get over that tabletop.
06:31No problem right now.
06:32Robbie Wageman, Team Solitaire, Heartbeat Hot Sass, Yamaha, Alias backing up this kid right now.
06:38Doing a great job.
06:39Oh, another runner down.
06:40That is a 6-18 down again right there.
06:42Summers, he is having a heck of a ride.
06:45The second dramatic crash or get-off of this main event.
06:48Caden Lewis right now.
06:50That's sitting in 5th position.
06:51So Politelli lapping into the top 5 right there.
06:55But that means Wageman has gone by him.
06:58So live timing, everything is correct.
06:59Everything is correct right there.
07:01This is a battle right now.
07:02It looks like there it is.
07:03Wageman is going to get by with one lap to go.
07:05And that is going to put him into the top 5.
07:08So a heck of a rebound for Brees and Wageman right there on the first laps.
07:13But Politelli just at the end of this whoop section.
07:15He is your leader.
07:15The 98.
07:16I think he's aware of it.
07:18Looking good.
07:18The MCR Honda going to bring home the first main event of the year for him right here in Boise, Idaho.
07:26Turn to the right.
07:27There it is.
07:27The checkered flag.
07:28Awesome.
07:29Politelli grabbing that main event.
07:31All-important win.
07:33Wow.
07:34Craziness.
07:35That is what you get here in read-across.
07:37Hectic nonsense.
07:39Riders going down everywhere.
07:40We think Wageman got himself back into that 4th position.
07:43Or sorry, 5th position.
07:444th was Bitterman.
07:46Politelli going all the way back there.
07:48Kristen Banks running to grab him right there.
07:51We didn't know what this is going to bring you.
07:53But I'll tell you what.
07:54That's why you're watching read-across here on RideTV and Rachel Network.
07:57Don't touch that dial.
07:58We'll be back.
