00:04C'est parti !
00:30Il est en train de l'arrière, il est en train de l'arrière.
00:34Jorges Prado, le Spaniard,
00:37il se passe à un start de l'arrière.
00:38Il vient de l'arrière, il est en train de l'arrière.
00:40Et Malcom Stewart, il est en second.
00:42Malcom, il est en train de l'arrière.
00:44Tu veux savoir qui est plus rapide,
00:46de la blitzing sur le barri ou de la blitzing sur le barri ?
00:48Ou de la blitzing sur le barri ?
00:49C'était un bon display de Malcom Stewart
00:51en choisir le blitz line.
00:54Jorges Prado, il est en train de l'arrière.
00:57Il est en train de l'arrière.
00:59Malcom Stewart, number 27,
01:01on that rockstar, Husqvarna.
01:05Yeah, I talked to Malcolm, my brother, earlier today,
01:07he feels pretty good.
01:09Same thing with Jorge Prado, Eli,
01:11they all have been riding pretty good.
01:13Normally, when you get to these dry conditions,
01:15the smooth riding style is like a Jorge Prado.
01:18The way he gets on the throttle is going to help him out.
01:20Maybe the bike.
01:22I know that number 3, he wants to get to the front.
01:24James, I go back to last year, Tampa Supercross,
01:27when your brother got his first premier class Supercross win,
01:32and how that soil was at Tampa Supercross,
01:35I feel like this soil is very similar to that Slick.
01:38I think your brother is very good at using his stature to his advantage.
01:45Here's Kenny, here comes Roxanne, and down he goes.
01:50Both feet came off the pegs, he almost saved it.
01:54And look at the sense of urgency now.
01:57Yeah, Kenny was just really trying to be nice, not hitting Eli,
02:01but just him making that move, just that firepower that Ken always possesses
02:05in the beginning part of the races, you can just see him.
02:08You can see that confidence is growing right now, Ricky.
02:11Yeah, and we talked about this sand and how it's going to be difficult.
02:14Watch Ken Rocks right here.
02:16See, he was indecisive.
02:18He wasn't indecisive.
02:19He wasn't in the perfect line going through the sand,
02:22so he had to pull an audible.
02:24He goes to the outside, just wrong place, wrong time.
02:27Eli Tomac is already there.
02:28Like James said, he tried his best not to make contact with Eli.
02:32Marry's the front end.
02:33This section is going to be extremely difficult.
02:37It's going to be a key section of the racetrack here later on this afternoon.
02:41It has been catching people out all day long.
02:44Meanwhile, Prado leads Stewart, leads Tomac,
02:47then Jordan Smith aboard the Factory Triumph and then Cornelius Tondall on the 417.
02:53He was the rider close to Ken Rocks in there as well.
02:56The Norwegian in his first Supercross start here in Monster Energy AMA
03:03supercross racing
03:04and it's an exciting time
03:06but let's talk more about the race leader
03:08we'll take it away
03:09we're just watching Jorge Prado
03:11just learn throughout these rounds
03:14here in supercross
03:15as he learns kind of the craft in itself
03:17they did do some testing this week on the bike
03:20and I said you know he seemed very comfortable
03:21why so and they said well
03:23as he's getting faster and faster
03:25and that's Cates is picking up
03:26and the confidence is going in there
03:28we're just having to match the bike to where he is at
03:31but they're impressed team wise
03:33just with how he's handling all of that
03:35we're seeing another heat win potentially geared for him
03:38but they're just waiting for all to kind of piece together
03:41in that main event
03:42get back on the podium
03:43we saw him there at the beginning of the year
03:44and potentially even get that win that saluted him so far
03:47well James you talked about it at the top of the show
03:51what you needed to see from Eli Tomac
03:53and as I'm watching right here
03:55he looks like a completely different rider thus far
03:58compared to what we saw in the last three rounds
04:00no I agree but also think
04:01just maybe that mistake that Kenny made
04:04yeah how that might change the whole dynamic of this race
04:07but maybe it is championship
04:08because what did you think
04:09if he gets around Eli
04:10and he gets around these two guys
04:12then it's more of the same
04:13that's happened the last couple weeks
04:14so see if the number three can get around his teammate
04:17there was a period where he admitted
04:19he didn't feel well
04:20around the Birmingham event etc
04:21there definitely were changes made to the bike
04:24but he told us yesterday afternoon
04:27we've kind of gone back to square one
04:29back to the beginning of the year
04:31when it worked so well
04:32I'm feeling better myself
04:34went back home to Colorado
04:37and this does look like
04:39the Eli that we saw earlier in the year
04:41chasing his teammate down
04:42riding more aggressively
04:45yeah well he's way more proactive
04:47rather than reactive on the motorcycle
04:49as far as riding
04:50wow Prado jumps off the track
04:53and that opens up a huge opportunity
04:56for his teammate
04:57and Eli Tomac to the lead
04:59yeah proactive
05:00he had to be reactive to that
05:01that was a good save by Jorge
05:03not losing the
05:04losing the both ends
05:06on that bike on that concrete
05:07but that pressure came from Eli
05:10it did and really Eli Tomac
05:14has just looked like a different guy
05:15all day long
05:16and Lee you mentioned
05:17he went back to basics
05:18went back to older settings
05:20well that also includes
05:21the scoop tire
05:22which it really has not run
05:24in 2026
05:25it's the most aggressive
05:26rear tire option
05:27available
05:28and they went away from that
05:30to start the season
05:30with a lot of success
05:31but here he is
05:33back in Nashville
05:33round 13
05:34with that option
05:36and really so far
05:37it seems to have made a huge difference
05:38so what JT is talking about
05:40as far as the scoop tire goes
05:42it's the tread pattern
05:43on that rear tire
05:45it's a bit more open
05:46it takes a bigger bite
05:47of the dirt
05:48rarely do you see riders
05:50ride it on this
05:51style of track
05:52very hard
05:53very slick
05:53the scoop tire is
05:54normally more effective
05:56on a sandier track
05:58where you need that bite
05:59and you
06:00you need
06:01less knobbies
06:02we asked him yesterday
06:04why are you doing it
06:05he said
06:06because I like it
06:08that's sad
06:09it doesn't matter to us
06:10in theory
06:11where it should work
06:12as long as he feels comfortable
06:13and it makes that throttle
06:15go the right way
06:16that's what you need to have
06:17on your motorcycle
06:18yeah and I will say
06:19Eli's been really strong
06:20through the sand
06:21so you know
06:22being the whoops
06:22most likely
06:23he'll probably end up
06:24jumping through here
06:25it's probably going to benefit him
06:26and like you said
06:27he likes it
06:28that's all that matters
06:29and he likes being out front
06:30as well
06:31one to go
06:31for Eli Tomac
06:33and if he can
06:34seal the deal here
06:35for this heat win
06:36that'll be his first
06:37since Daytona
06:39many rounds ago
06:41and this is it
06:42for all of the
06:43enormous fan base
06:44out there
06:45who have been
06:46perplexed
06:47and confused
06:49and
06:49they've been asking
06:50the question
06:51what's wrong
06:52with Eli
06:53well
06:54here's your man
06:55he's back
07:00looks really good
07:01yeah
07:01shout out to my brother
07:02too
07:03as good as Eli
07:03has been
07:04Malcolm's been there too
07:05after that mistake
07:06in the sand
07:06he's been able to
07:07kind of close that gap
07:08here and there
07:09but
07:10a couple corners left
07:11looks like E.T.
07:12is going to have this thing
07:15so maybe that's emblematic
07:17of the way he feels
07:18Eli Tomac
07:21wins heat too
07:23and is coming back
07:25at the most opportune
07:27time of this season
07:28when he is tied
07:31at the top of the points
07:32well done Malcolm Stewart
07:34and Jorge Prado
07:35after that off-track
07:36excursion
07:36finishes in the top three
07:38how about that one
07:39we GT3's back
07:41sure looks that way
07:42Will
07:42and Justin Cooper's back
07:44is going to be
07:44in the top ten
