00:00The rocks in if that first race is going to lead to the overall
00:04Stats say they do
00:0650% 50% of the time
00:0850% of the time it's right
00:10I think too when you're when you're betting with a guy like Kenny. Yeah, I think you're it's probably more than 50. Yeah
00:17Eli Tomek had the bad start in the first race came from ninth to third sexton second Cooper Webb came in right behind them
00:25It aside decide to go on that outside again
00:30Yeah, started there in race one, but it wasn't a good style
00:32It wasn't didn't really get a good get to see him very well and that's sorry
00:37But this is a great view right here. Watch watch three. There it comes
00:44Not a good one free light this time Prado leads them in Prado and Anderson
00:49That's the gamble you take if you're on the outside. That was a perfect view of what can happen
00:58He's buried Tomek back there, but it's Red Bull KTM teammates out front Lawrence locks down second
01:04Then it's Anderson Webb and finally a decent start for Justin Cooper
01:13And Lawrence all over Prado wants to make the move
01:19And he's got to because Lawrence crashed in race one only seven needs to make up ground
01:25Tell you who this benefits right now is from an overall standpoint, and that's the 26
01:32If the race ended, I believe he would be the the race winner wild overall
01:38Yeah, Roxxon is seven and Sexton is 17
01:42Eli is eight Wow got Coop in there as well, so this could be good for Coop is
01:48Remember we talked about the opening show what the difference was from when I came in to the fourth round
01:5430 24 30 points down
01:56Yeah
01:57This is where I was saying he could use this to his advantage because there's so many guys from a points
02:02Perspective that can get in between him and Eli is exactly what I was saying
02:06Yeah, it is all sorts of big stuff down
02:11Anderson is all over Lawrence. Whoa and then Anderson almost endos
02:17So it looked like hunter was looking to make moves on Prado, but now he's clinging to the number two spot
02:21I'll submit it mistakes. He gets back away from his old rival Anderson
02:32What happened to sexting early to be back there in 13th that is a killer in this type of race. Yeah, well, he was 17th on the first lap
02:42And there he is buried he's battling with verandas right now who also did not get a good getaway
02:47Oh the trolley designs red bull ducati. Yeah, this is where the triple crown like it really brings out the best in these riders
02:56For several reasons ones it puts them in a position where they have to execute every race pretty much
03:02And if they don't they're going to be in the situation that chase is in right now
03:06And chase has to be really careful when he's coming up through the pack right here
03:09You can see guys are starting to turn down a little bit early
03:12They're not bowling the turns quite as much
03:14He's going to have to anticipate what that rider is doing and again these races are so condensed and shorter
03:20And they can ride with that intensity. Oh great pass
03:24Intensity from web making that move on Anderson right web suddenly starting to stir here in the overall yeah right up the inside makes the move
03:33And you see points as they run this is combining the results from as it stands right now and race one
03:39To be prado winning the race. Oh Anderson coming back on web who's currently tied with roxson first second overall
03:50So much racing left though
03:53There's kenny
03:55They're about five six seven bike links
03:58behind anderson pressuring just a cooper
04:01come back
04:02attacks and gets roxson
04:05Costly mistake from ken isn't able to triple out the corner that jt was talking about on the track point
04:11That is a key section. I thought it was only going to be for the 250s
04:16But I was wrong also playing a huge role
04:18For the 450 and tomac has had the fastest lap on the track the last two laps now. Justin cooper a move
04:25On anderson and tomac's looking to follow tomac is on fire. I thought andrew star tomac was trying to get a
04:32Two-for-one special but watch eli tomac up the inside listen to this crowd
04:40One pass for tomac
04:43Cooper tries to fight back and here comes roxson again
04:47Great racing in this triple crowd
04:48And the triple again tomac gets a pass on anderson roxson follows him through
04:56Oh
04:58Anderson takes kenny up to the tough blocks
05:02Oh, no tomac has gone down
05:06He endos looks like he's at least okay. Oh, that was a brutal crash
05:12Jumping onto that table top. Oh, wow
05:18Incredible how quickly this can change. He had had three consecutive laps. That's the fastest man on track and now
05:25Sexton has even gone by despite the bad start. Wow
05:30Rarely do you see this replay everything is cool. He comes over
05:36All is good
05:38Oh, that it's almost like he hit neutral is right
05:43No, I didn't hit this his bike is running that is
05:48Bizarre hard to tell from that angle exactly what happened. I mean he got over that
05:53That single just fine
05:56So this is cooper who's got around anderson and now roxson and and anderson waves him by
06:03I guess he's not mean to do that. Oh, you didn't mean to do that
06:06So he knows kenny's faster wants to give his teammate an opportunity. I mean kenny's in the running for the overall
06:13So every position is going to be huge
06:17Meanwhile prado has a 1.8 second lead hunter lawrence and cooperweb not able to catch him and prado
06:26Would be the overall winner right now, but he'd be tied with roxson now the tiebreaker is the better finish in the last race
06:32Right now that's right, right, but it would be raised three
06:36But the good news for roxson is he's got positions to gain here prado cannot go any further forward
06:43And he's closing on justin cooper
06:46What a wild one this is is tomac yes tomac is back up and running but he is in 18th place
06:52I did not see that coming. No, he like tomac rarely
06:57Someone with his experience and so accomplished does does that happen and you just wonder if
07:04Something went wrong with the motorcycle or
07:07Because again everything looked perfect as far as execution on that rhythm section
07:13I'm just glad to see him get back on that bike that bike came back landed on him
07:19And again, these rhythm lanes are really fast so you know what happens when when you have speed involved the impact
07:26At a higher rate is there any scarier feeling no, there's nothing not at all when you're in the air like that
07:32And you know, you know, yeah, yeah, a hundred percent
07:35Yeah, good to see eli's relatively okay, but it's very costly in the results, but
07:40That's the triple crown. There's a whole nother shot
07:43In race three trying to climb back up the order
07:46Can rocks and make a move on cooper who's riding well?
07:49This is going to be a huge gift for guys like cooper webb hunter lawrence
07:55ken rocks and and chase sexton
07:58As far as the championship goes and eli going down
08:01This is it is a great time to be a part of smx world championship
08:11With the depth of the field and just not knowing lead you were talking about it not knowing whoever is going to win the race
08:17Oh, there's no way. Yeah, how could you know before these gates drive?
08:19It's just it's just so close and that's why it's so special
08:23Yeah, and you've seen it in the racing how many times the rider caught someone
08:27Okay, you think he's the one with the momentum as sexton has made it all the way up to anderson
08:31And the same thing here hunter lawrence has closed for a second time now on prado and this is for the lead
08:38Prado getting a little dicey in the whoops
08:40still some racing left and
08:44Looks like the 90 up there. He didn't get the triple. Oh
08:47Prado cut him off
08:50Wow, i'm gonna say that prado's yeah tough to pass yes
08:55He's tough to pass hunter just saw that first hand as bottom box sexton is trying to get anderson had a better look at the
09:01Tabletop there jt looks like it was ruddy. Maybe it caught uh eli's feet feet there
09:06Yeah, this track is really getting tricky, but i'm going to tell you what these guys keep making mistakes at the front
09:12That number one there on the blue that blue bike is going to be in this fight very very quickly
09:17And this is exactly what cooper webb needs he had it has had an atrocious three rounds so far
09:23He has got to find a way to get past these guys and claim his first overall win of the season
09:27Well jt. I go back to that triple crown. We had several years ago at detroit
09:32When cooper webb, I believe he won that race and I feel like that gave him the momentum up
09:38The triple out of the corner this time hunter able to finish the pass
09:43And the crowd responds to that and webb's going right with him
09:50Man that triple out of the turn has turned very difficult 100 percent
09:54I think a lot of it too is because because of the ruts they're not getting good drives out of their will
10:02Mickey i'm just looking at hunter lawrence up front
10:04He's obviously looking comfortable and able to push through and i'm thinking back to what you were telling us during the week
10:09And how you hope that hunter can get to the point where they're not testing with the bike anymore
10:14And he's just able to run his laps well
10:16I can tell you that that happened this week
10:17He went back to florida which was planned and they said for the first time they felt like they had a base
10:22That they could sit there and trust and hunter was able to get over those laps
10:25So uh, maybe maybe that's going to help him tonight the team did tell me that
10:30It had definitely worked out as far as his kind of works go
10:33They wanted to push further through the rhythms. They said they felt he accomplished that this morning
10:38In qualifying so all moving in the right direction. Well, well, that's right. That's a great report will so
10:43Like we were talking and we talked about on the post-race show last week when you got a guy that's
10:49Basically, he's evaluating the motorcycle and racing at the same time. So he's
10:53Not a hundred percent focus on just racing because again, he's feeling the bike and where it needs to be better
11:00Now that he has a setup that he's comfortable with and can just focus on his riding
11:04He's going to be a little bit better and that's sometimes all you need to be
11:08At this level and that's a reflection of how well he's doing right now. I get it that eli is down and sexton goes down
11:15Sexton yes, he was behind malcolm stewart now. He's lost at least a spot to christian craig. Oh
11:20Oh, no, we got action all over the place. Here's the sexton mistake
11:27Watch the front. Yeah, he pushes the front. He initiates the turn leans the bike over hate to say it
11:34Yeah, but pushes the front asks too much
11:36Out of that front tire and the crowd response that was web making the move on prado exactly the way web does it
11:44Just hanging in there. So now you go back
11:47Finishing my point on hunter lawrence
11:50Now he can work on just being fast early on. Here's the pass
11:54See web on prada boom right up the inside uses him up. Oh prada wasn't anticipating that feet come off the foot pegs
12:02And he makes the move now this guy can just focus on
12:06Being fast at the beginning of the race, you know, he's got the he's got what it takes at the end and
12:12This is a great bounce back
12:15moto for
12:17Hunter lawrence
12:18Here's roxon working on justin cooper who has been stingy with it roxon got to him a long time ago
12:25But this is what we expect out of justin cooper
12:27We haven't seen it because of the bad start, but he can go and he was number one seed going to the s
12:31That's right playoffs last year this guy he ain't no slouch and he's been better than what his what his box scores show on paper
12:40Time running out. They just missed the white flag. It'll be one to go the next time around
12:46And he rocks into the woods
12:50And this pass could be everything for the overall at the end of the night
12:53Man, could you imagine if somehow webs able to pull off this win? Oh, and what that would do?
13:01For his confidence. Oh, kenny
13:04Almost goes off the track. He runs out of room coming out of that right-hander
13:09Isn't able to triple
13:12And that's a big relief while the pressure off of jay coop a hundred percent
13:17And time running out
13:19White flag down on the air hunter lawrence what a bounce back a crash and seventh in race one
13:24And he is right back in this thing if it ended now it would be web over roxon and lawrence
13:31But there's a third race to go and they're all close. This is absolutely wild we watching this race
13:39And championship contenders, I mean it is like musical chairs here
13:43It is and if you're one of these championship guys trying to manage
13:48Okay, which guy that you're going to have to deal with at some capacity each weekend
13:56It changes right yeah, relax because they have strategies i'm sure on you know, they know their strengths and weaknesses
14:03What a ride
14:04So hunter lawrence avenges the mistake in race one. He comes back and wins race two
14:11Gets himself right back in position. That's a wild one. You see balcom stewart
14:15He's one of the ones that got ahead of sexton when he fell there's roxon. He got close to justin cooper
14:21But not enough. It's going to be lawrence webb prado top three then cooper and roxon stewart a great ride
14:30Anderson seventh craig eight sexton nine ferranda's tenth and tomac
14:35Thirteenth that ties a career low for tomac in an individual triple crown race
14:42But he did make some moves so it appears. He's okay. I can't be
14:45You
14:52You
14:54You
14:56You
15:02You
15:04You
15:06You
