00:09gate up for the main event so here it is first race of the night it'll be all west main
00:14event
00:14level talent in heat one club mx boy is going to lead them in that is maximus bolin of the
00:2519 and
00:26his teammate hunter yoder on the 60 and here comes max that's the 61. yeah pretty much most of those
00:31guys hayden deacon got pinched off the start so did levi kitchen but as you mentioned earlier
00:35this isn't a heat race for these guys this is basically a main event a short main event
00:39good to see max bolin and his teammate out there but it's gonna be a long race lux turner gonna
00:44run
00:44the outside line looking to make some passes on defrancisco but yes how about this club mx yamaha
00:50a satellite support team one two with all the west on the gate i'd like to see what these guys
00:58doing i mean the track's a lot different from what it was earlier they put a little bit of water
01:02down
01:02as you can see max trying to get in that corner he wanted to make sure he put those wheels
01:06down
01:07it's gonna be open air right now these guys gotta try to get out there
01:11seen the split lane for the first time
01:14yoder on the inside bolin to the outside and then a tricky rhythm lane here look at yoder
01:20yeah he's just max being a little careful and he's gonna get carefully passed right here by his teammate
01:26goes up the inside let's see if max tries squared off nice pass by hunter yoder on his 22nd birthday
01:31today gets the lead only momentarily bolin comes back it's like a day at the club mx facility with the
01:37teammates battling there's deacon in the bottom bad start it's fifth place at the moment just got
01:42around turner yeah these guys are good now and hayden's got up he made a couple passes but as
01:46these leaders keep going back and forth he's just going to close that number one in looks like his
01:50teammate uh max anstey in third spot he's going to close this gap up anstey on the comeback trail
01:57had his appendix removed after the race in seattle remember he was coughing on the podium
02:01didn't know what was wrong they figured it out will
02:05that's right jason he got back on that sunday not feeling good and he actually got diagnosed with
02:09rsb got put on antibiotics i actually thought he was having a reaction to that ended up going to the
02:14emergency room in the middle of the night they scanned him diagnosed him with appendicitis
02:18went in for surgery out that came and they told him he could start riding at around sort of three
02:23weeks get on the bike sort of a racing at four so that meant that he just got cleared early
02:29this week
02:29when i spoke to him yesterday and said expectations he said honestly i'm just going to have to see how
02:34it goes he said right now it doesn't hurt me to ride on the bike i'm just going to give
02:37it my best
02:38thanks will deegan moving up now he's around the 60 of yoder up to second deegan has won every heat
02:45race five out of five lately in the west yeah you can just see that that speed uh hayden has
02:52and just
02:52that confidence he's rolling with right now but those guys were playing around with each other now i think
02:57the track's going to start loosening up hopefully we can see what happening but hayden made a pass on
03:02his teammate if he's going to try to do it again on max bowlin not close enough but still close
03:06and
03:07listen to this crowd cheering on the one
03:11it's kitchen way back deegan goes for the lead
03:16got it max saw me he was like i've seen this story before i'm gonna give you plenty of room
03:21but
03:21unfortunately when you look at that levi kitchen this has been the story of the year
03:25can't get these starts and this race is too he's up to just trying to get to third place or
03:29something
03:29now that is true fastest qualifier kitchen but way back just in a transfer spot right now
03:37working on avery long to go from ninth now to eighth
03:42and deegan bad start no problem deegan was only sixth
03:45in qualifying and that was a season low for him but clearly no problem here in the heat
03:50and the next rider for kitchen would be dylan schwartz but hayden's been able to get everybody
03:56at this point i mean as much as he's been able to get around these guys he's not too worried
04:00about
04:01the qualifying they know what time it is well we always talk about how important that start is
04:06well guess what now you can actually bet on the 450 main event hole shot winner as you see anstee
04:11working
04:12on yoder in the whoops you want to bet on the hole shot that's right the prop market is live

04:24hole shot pick for the 450 main tonight and steve has now split the club of x riders he's up
04:30to the
04:30back of volan i'm sure max is just trying to get in here as rider d closes up on this
04:36these three guys
04:37behind him uh in front of him excuse me rider d jt mentioned he got into it a little bit
04:42with hayden
04:43deegan i think they were just out there trying to do qualifying laps but just like levi kitchen if you
04:47don't get to start even if hayden doesn't get to start he's so confident to be able to move through
04:51these guys some of these guys get stuck behind him and now you're you're almost five seconds back from
04:55the leader so right now this battle you got anstee working on volan then yoder and de francisco
05:05luxe turner and another group schwartz and kitchen come through next anstee's got the whoop speed and
05:09the pass yeah nice pass max sense them coming up max sense max coming up on that inside right there
05:16see if he can get a good run on him as max looks back the other way but nonetheless good
05:20to see
05:20the 61 moving forward and yesterday brandon host owner of that club mx team saying they have pretty
05:27much signed a deal to keep voland on the team for the future and they're really building something
05:32they'd already signed yoder to an extension this was his first year on the team and then before we
05:36even got to anaheim one they extended that deal so they're happy with their guys battling with the full
05:41factory team right now see how the split lane goes but i agree with them i mean both these guys
05:46this
05:47whole team has been able to elevate their game you can see it every every weekend they're getting up
05:52closer to the front and see if that continues so we mentioned the incidents here this is de francisco
05:58and deegan in practice yep now they were trying to go into a fast lap but of course hayden does
06:04that
06:04i mean this incident kind of started broader deals like i'm not having it and they went on the next
06:09lap almost continued doing the same thing we're sitting here waiting for anything to go but
06:14cooler has provided uh prevailed at this point uh the uh yeah keep turfing they know what time it is
06:23racing when it's time deep francisco making moves on yoder but yeah the starts he had speed so did
06:32kitchen and qualifying but they didn't get off the gate yeah you can see levi's closed in now he's in
06:38that sixth spot as you say he always has that speed but i mean you can't lose that track position
06:44and
06:44like i said earlier the way hayden's rod he's just going to move through his way and it doesn't matter
06:48how much faster you are if you're giving this that much gap to him well hey are starts even more
06:53important in east west when you essentially have doubled the talent well yeah for sure i mean even
06:57through this in this heat race you know normally levi's got to pass half the guys but when you have
07:02the east
07:02west if you want to have a shot if you don't get a start in your own division there's most
07:07likely you're not
07:07you don't get a start in the main event you're going to get beat by more guys so i think
07:11levi
07:12really needs to figure that part out if he wants to have any shot to beat hayden but all
07:16also his teammates and all the other guys in the east coast we've been tracking that all year tons
07:20of changes but kitchen both the bike and his own start technique to try to fix it didn't work here
07:27and wasn't able to make the move on yoder either so still he is in sixth place right now as
07:32deegan
07:32heads for home on the last lap split lane is going to continue to work he should be able to
07:38get to
07:39him if he just runs it up yoder yoder stayed into it you can hear that bike of levi revving
07:45it up
07:46trying to scare him out now you should have that pass but you've got to give hunter some credit you
07:50held it
07:50on definitely fighting back no lack of fighting this guy hayden deegan's back after the break
07:57and wins again taking six out of six heat races this year kitchen did make that move
08:06and the transfer position extra top in the east west again this is a full main event's worth of
08:11talent on the west it's going to be the 224 breeze getting in over avery long and long was there
08:18so i'm not sure if he made a mistake or got passed but long in 10th of the 57 is
08:23going to be bound for
08:24the last chance qualifier
08:28and nothing changed with hayden deegan got some 450 motocross testing in during the break
08:33jump back on the 250 and right back where he was when everyone last saw number one
