00:03E ele pode replicar isso, mas Hunter Lawrence vai pincar ele, não, mas ele está no inside.
00:09Ele funcionou novamente, Webb com o whole shot.
00:12O que a move, ele provavelmente antecipou para Hunter para pincar o alto, e olha como
00:17hard eles estão lutando para esse posicionamento de trato.
00:20Aqui vem Chase Sexton, ele vai desafiar a linha, ele vai desafiar a Lawrence.
00:26SuperWeb leads, last one.
00:28Man, great to see Chase Sexton up here in the mix.
00:31He has had a tough day, just kind of behind the eight ball in practice, love to see this
00:38fight, oh, he misses the double though.
00:41Man, Lawrence going after Webb again, uh-oh, Prado is rolling back to the mechanics and
00:47the pit area, oh, and Lawrence makes the move.
00:49And this is what we wanted to see by Hunter Lawrence.
00:53So we talked about the beginning of the races and the intensity of where he needed to improve
00:58in his game, which is, that's about it.
01:00And this is what he has done.
01:04Oh, man, you hate to see it for Jorge Prado, who had been an absolute revelation in Supercross
01:09so far this year, the multi-time world champ from Europe, but really just at motocross, not
01:14much Supercross experience, a bit of math time.
01:17And Hunter, Lawrence, what can you say?
01:19He's now rolling away from Webb.
01:23Oh, no, Sexton down.
01:26Oh, man.
01:28Yeah, just didn't look like the usual Chase Sexton as you were alluding to in qualifying.
01:33Looked good early in this heat, but it's come unraveled.
01:37He's in 10th now.
01:38Let's look at the crash.
01:40So he messed up the left-hander before this corner, same lap, initiates the turn, and as
01:46he does that, tries to turn down early, asking too much from the bike, couldn't make the corner
01:51that tight, a tight apex like that, loses the front end, and down he goes.
01:56I hate to see that from Chase.
01:58I really feel like he needed a strong run for himself and that race team here early on in
02:04the heat race.
02:05On the back foot now is Sexton in ninth place.
02:08Man, you can see how tough this track is.
02:11Lawrence is leading.
02:11He cased a couple of the triples that last time around, and Webb has closed back in.
02:16This is one of those racetracks because it's, everything is so much tighter.
02:20These back and forth lanes right here and all the runs, completely different from the contrast
02:25from the last two weeks that if you rush it, kind of gets the bike upset at times.
02:31It can make the track a little bit different.
02:32Will?
02:34Just a quick update there on Jorge Prado.
02:36I spoke to the team, nothing strategic at all about what he just did.
02:39It was simply discomfort in that shoulder that apparently has hardware in it from previous
02:45injury there.
02:45At this point, they're not sure if he's going to be lining up later in this evening.
02:50Thank you, Will.
02:51You had a shoulder surgery last year.
02:53Another case from Hunter, and Webb has closed in more.
02:59Brutal case.
03:01Look.
03:03Cooper just able to execute those rhythm lanes.
03:07Side by side for the lead.
03:10Oh, Cooper was going to try to come back underneath the inside.
03:13Watch this.
03:13Maybe he tries it right here.
03:16The whoops.
03:17If he wants to get by Hunter, right here is where he needs to make a move, but he's going
03:21to have to come in early.
03:23But look at Hunter moves to the left-hand side of the racetrack.
03:27Was anticipating Cooper to make a move for the lead right there, but he blocks his position,
03:31brought to his line.
03:35Yeah, Webb had to go all the way from left to right.
03:37Yeah.
03:37Now re-fires in the sand.
03:39And there's that rhythm lane that Hunter's had a couple problems with lately.
03:43Got to get this triple.
03:44No.
03:45Double, triple.
03:48You know, we talk about how good Cooper Webb is at turning down early in the corners and
03:54going lower, and this is a track where he could really do that.
03:58Oh, he got underneath, exactly like you said.
04:02Cut down.
04:04Oh, Hunter trying to come back.
04:07Let's learn more about Prado.
04:09Send it back to Will.
04:10Oh, Webb down.
04:11Sorry, Will.
04:12Oh, man, just when you think someone has this track wired, it jumps up and bites, even the
04:17three-time champ.
04:19Yeah, Hunter, a mistake there from Cooper Webb.
04:23And, man, this track is super difficult because of the ruts.
04:28But look at, I love the aggression that Cooper Webb has right now.
04:32Not backing down, getting up there, racing these guys hard.
04:35He's going to get by Aaron Plessinger.
04:37Up the inside.
04:38He will not be denied.
04:41And that's back up to second.
04:43Yeah.
04:43Let's hear what happens.
04:47Oh, he overjumps the double.
04:50Is it centered up for the ruts?
04:52Gets crossed up in between the transition, and the ruts take him down.
04:59And Webb has been the faster.
05:01Oh, right there.
05:02Same right there.
05:03Didn't mean to interrupt you.
05:04No, you're good.
05:04Okay, somebody overjumped the landing and landed right in ruts, similar to what he did here.
05:08The lap before, when he went down.
05:11And what this illustrates is, I was going to say, he has been the master of these conditions,
05:15winning the main here in Seattle the last two years, and even Webb having his struggles.
05:21Plessinger, Savace, and Ferrandez coming through next.
05:24Ferrandez closing in a hurry in the whoops on that Ducati.
05:29All right, well, what is the latest on Prado?
05:32Fortunate news.
05:34I've just heard that he will not be racing tonight.
05:36He is out for the evening, guys.
05:38Oh, man.
05:39And he was having an incredible season.
05:42Savace able to skip back away from Ferrandez in that rhythm.
05:46Tell you what, man, this guy is catching fire in this race team the last two weeks for that
05:51quad-lock Honda.
05:53Joey has been riding phenomenally, and it's great to see that.
05:58I feel like he's got some good confidence and good energy going up here battling, man.
06:03He was able to get that first rhythm lane there after the start, executed perfectly.
06:08Pull up onto the rear tire of AP.
06:13Yes, the quad-lock Honda team doesn't have all the factory parts, but, man,
06:18has he been riding well, hovered around that sixth-place spot week in and week out?
06:22And that means you're beating some really good riders on really good motorcycles.
06:26Yeah, Yariv Khonsky, the team owner, given Martin Davalos and the rest of that team personnel
06:32tangibles that they need and the assets that they need to perform at a high level here,
06:37and it's great to see.
06:38And now Sexton entering the picture after the early crash.
06:42Seaman Green of the Monster Kawasaki working on Ferrandez.
06:46Got it.
06:48Yeah, right up the inside.
06:50Simple pass made.
06:53I like this outside line these guys are able to do after the finish line right there.
07:00It's the second 450 heat.
07:02Yeah.
07:02Is this about as bad as it's going to be?
07:03Yeah, this is what the – but this is what – this is how this racetrack is going to
07:07be later on here tonight.
07:08So now it's crucial, I believe, Jason, to get a good feel for what your bike is like because
07:14this is what it's going to be like similar to when it's points paying time.
07:17Yeah, main event time, and that's where Hunter Lawrence has done his best work.
07:21He has not won a heat since 2024, his rookie season in Nashville.
07:27As great as his year has started, would be the first heat race win of the season for the
07:32series leader.
07:38Hunter Lawrence with the win and battling to the line.
