00:00Yes, it's just real. It's real. It's really cool. Well, we showed you the pit party earlier
00:05Which is a huge part of it that the autographs that the fans get and we heard the reaction as soon as Deegan locked down the lead in the first race
00:12Crowd came to life for him
00:14See if he can replicate it as race two
00:18Gets ready. Steve Francisco had that bad start of the Rockstar Husky. The first race was able to come through to six
00:25And there's Deegan gonna line up outside the box
00:29Yeah, that's where it was on the first start
00:33There's a couple things starting on the outside like that of the box you get more get more distance in here between
00:41The guy next to you, so you have a little more room to move around
00:44And also it doesn't pinch off so much on the inside there to the to his left
00:50And it allows those guys to sweep around and carry their speed and hopefully make a move around the outside if they have to
00:56So on the other on the flip side of that if you don't get a good jump on the outside like that and your competitors to the left
01:03If you get a better jump, then they kind of they control your destiny
01:07Yeah, the Kawasaki boys are lined up to his inside there
01:11You see kitchen and also McAdoo and those are the riders second and third in the first race
01:15So they would be the ones trying to prevent Deegan from getting a start in this one race two of
01:22250 triple crown. That's why we love this format. They just keep on racking it up. It's already here
01:28Love this shot right here
01:32Overhead of the start being able to see everybody who gets the jump first. Here we go
01:37Oh
01:42Deegan rockets out will it be enough from the outside to control it?
01:47What a view see that's the thing he pushed out a little bit and that is a great example of that's what happens
01:53You just come in with too much speed
01:55Nothing you can do there and if he would have had a better jump
01:58He would have been able to close the door on those guys
02:00He wouldn't have swung so wide. McAdoo over kitchen kitchen looking to take the lead a very aggressive move and he gets it
02:07safe to say these
02:09Monster energy pro circuit guys got their starts figured out
02:13And Boland was third looks like a move made by Deegan to get to third. Oh now Moseman is down
02:21Say it's not so he's okay, but
02:24And every time someone gets any momentum going besides Deegan in his championship it goes away
02:29Deegan attacking McAdoo, but he couldn't get those triples there
02:33Oh, and Boland able to catch up because of it
02:37It's gonna be interesting to watch Deegan handles this watch 23 on the left
02:43Oh
02:44He loses the front end as he's turning he starts to turn a little early and when he does that the front end just washes
02:54That's costly. He is in 22nd place
02:56Meanwhile, we finally saw a kitchen could do not going down in turn one now. We can see what he can do with a lead
03:04second in race one leading race two
03:10And these guys are motivated to hold Deegan back
03:13Yeah
03:14If there's any body that they want to beat I can assure you
03:18Do it with number one on his plate and it's gonna be interesting to see again how Hayden
03:24Handles these moves if he's able to pass these guys now remember he had a run-in
03:29with Cameron McAdoo at round one. Yep
03:34I don't think not gonna do is too happy about that
03:36And we definitely know there's no love lost with the leader right now between him so
03:40Is he gonna be tactical?
03:44I think he will be we will find out these guys are doing a great job though of keeping them behind him riding really well
03:53First laps lead of the season for kitchen out front JT. What are you thinking?
03:57Well, that's exactly what I'm wondering that what is Hayden Deegan thinking because on one hand you know
04:03He's shown so much maturity in his race craft in supercrops over overcoming that starts and getting to the front
04:09As you see him make the move right there on Cameron McAdoo
04:13But as easy as I say that he also kind of boasts this I don't lose mentality
04:18Like he is not the type of rider who's going to lay up in a triple crown and understand that it's okay to take a second here
04:25And then it's a three race overall so I would guess there's a little bit of an internal struggle going on with Hayden
04:30As he makes a critical mistake right there
04:33Look at he looks over his shoulder because he wasn't able to triple there
04:38Anticipating maybe that Cameron would try to pass him back up the inside, but he's able to defend that position
04:48Hustling right now
04:53So what if you look at the left side what you're seeing is if it ended like this kitchen and Deegan would now be tied
04:58They each have a win and a second. That'd be three points and the weight of a triple crown goes to the lowest score kind of like golf
05:05Very early, but right now kitchen where he wants to be
05:09Be interesting to see these next couple laps if Hayden's able to do anything with some clean air
05:14If he's able to close the gap on kitchen kitchen riding really well
05:19All day long, especially that first race a close second
05:252.8 seconds to gap RC
05:28Love the composure that Hayden was showing early on not really panicking not riding over his limit
05:39Well, that's the theory that jt throughout there obviously patience and maturity helps, but you also mentioned the rivalry between these
05:46Can deegan really?
05:48Say hey second is a good enough overall wise. I mean I mean that's a little ego here. Well a little bit
05:55Yeah, that's not really his style exactly what I tell you we've seen him in championship battles before he he'll play the long game when needed
06:03Pitching that a little time. Yeah, I slap around it
06:07It must be very interesting to watch these next
06:12Maybe a lot more too because we're already down to five minutes and a lap left see right there hayden comes over that finish line
06:18I believe he ships two times so he's in fourth gear going through those whoops
06:24Next time he goes over the finish line you guys can check it out. You'll see a quick shifting
06:30This track definitely a lot ruddier than it was for these guys in their first race so a little different
06:37I
06:39Expect deegan if he's going to make a move and a push for this
06:44Race to win it's going to start within the next lap or two
06:48Otherwise time is going to run out
06:53Deegan looking to close it was 3.1 now back to 2.6 so it's a battle of tents here back and forth between kitchen and deegan
07:01So this is by far the best run well deegan grab some gears here as you mentioned
07:07I mean going back to timing and scoring last lap
07:11He was six tenths faster than levi kitchen so he did make up some time there
07:17That is a lot of time in one lap
07:19Now they're starting to get into some lappers too and sometimes when you're the guy leading
07:25Feel like you get hung up a little bit more because maybe
07:29The lappers aren't anticipating them
07:32Coming so quick, but then they're aware once the leader comes by they know that second and third and fourth place
07:38Are coming up through the pack and they'll give way most of the time especially if they're obeying the blue flag there
07:43And it's myers here who's actually buddies with kitchen off the track and they're battling and that is not helping at all
07:50No, he's going to lose some time there
07:52Again, he loses five tenths that lap so now it's down to under two laps and just that little slip
08:00When he kind of got a cross run and exiting up, but then Hayden gets slowed down as well
08:06Yeah, so uh, it was 3.1 then it was 1.7 now it's 1.9 but
08:12Bloods in the water now look at look at now when you get that close
08:17It's on
08:20And deegan over the finish in the first race gave the finger guns to kitchen gave him the gotcha
08:26So how will they play it when they get close because it looks like that's inevitable now
08:31jt
08:33I'm just i'm fascinated by this battle because it's one thing to battle with somebody that you have a lot of respect for
08:38Oh, well, you know chase saxon and ken roxton in race one of the 450 class
08:42It's another thing entirely to battle somebody you really don't care for it for hayden deegan
08:47He's probably looking at kitchen saying hey, man
08:49You cost me a super motocross world championship, and oh, I don't know
08:53$500,000 at least in the way so there's a lot on the line other than just the win in race two right here
08:59Yeah, I know why you're watching this too
09:01You want to see how he's going to handle it if he's able to make a move
09:04Battle down there is for fourth bottom box boland again the club of x yamaha so strong early to zero fourth over deep francisco well
09:15down here with the mechanics area here just looking at the pit boards guys and and kitchen's being told
09:22You know go pace and deegan's been told pressure
09:25So the two of them you know they've been told by the mechanics exactly what we are expecting them to need to do
09:31Um, but we still don't know how this is going to roll out right well
09:34You don't you don't really know what their game plan is and and when here comes
09:40deegan triples side by side now oh
09:43And here's that corner jt mentioned he goes right to the inside see stands him up
09:51And the crowd explodes there rc that was big
09:53Oh that was big
09:56Similar to the pass that kitchen made on him in that smx round at st louis that jt was talking about
10:04But uh definitely not as aggressive
10:07He didn't put it down before i didn't think he was going to go for a pass like that but uh he made it happen
10:14And off he goes
10:16He's gone why did you not expect that
10:18I thought he was i i don't know i just i thought he was going to give him a little bit more room
10:24But clearly he didn't he uses up all the lines great anticipation by the 47 of kitchen and the look back yeah
10:33Well that ends that deegan made up three seconds and makes the pass as soon as the opening was there and is checking out
10:42Yeah i thought maybe that he would just wait till a straightaway you know through these long rhythm lanes to maybe make a move
10:49But hey man he's the guy riding the motorcycle and he knows when the opportune time is
10:56And that time is now as deegan is looking for the 1-1 to start the evening yeah
11:01It's gonna be nice going into the third race if he's able to hold down this this lead because
11:07See he'll be able to go to that third race and not have to win to get the overall
11:13Not have to push it you talked about playing the long game
11:16Earlier on in this race he would be able to do that because of the situation that he would be in winning these first two races
11:23Yeah, he would not have to beat kitchen in the next race
11:27Damage already done
11:31But look he got taken out by kitchen dating back to last year
11:35That's the story we were alluding to earlier and that was a similar scenario, but he didn't take him out
11:40It was aggressive. Yeah, he crossed all the ruts. Yeah, like levi did that. Yes, he did
11:45But it was close. It was close to a takeout, but not quite
11:50Oh, he made that move
11:51But I want you to watch hayden deegan's line in the whoopsie. He's going over the finish
11:55He's going to use the whoops
11:56He's going to go all the way to his right right up against the tough blocks and the reason he's been going there
12:01Is that no one else really is so they're going to be more round and more predictable?
12:05And that's one of the areas that he was making up a lot of time on levi kitchen
12:09So as this track deteriorates, you're going to have to stay mindful of where the track is still in prime condition
12:16That's an old trick from our day jt
12:18If you remember riding right along those hay bales or no one would go never really worked out well for me
12:26Okay, maybe that's why it's an old trick and maybe not recommended
12:30Yeah, he's putting good work to it now and really great ride
12:35Played it cool a lot like he did the main event last week behind his teammate michael moseman just kind of let the race come to him and
12:42Make a move for the win
12:44Checkered flag in sight oh it gives another look back and another finger guns and another win
12:50for deegan over kitchen
12:52and another third for Mcadoo exactly the same podium order as race one
