00:00Hoje, MXGP race, 130 minutos plus 2 laps, Koonan got the inside gate that it was after yesterday for the
00:05qualifying race
00:06When Herlings pimped him on the final lap for time practice to get that first gate pick
00:09Roll reversal for the top 2 in the championship, the red plate holder in gate 1
00:16They held him a very long time, and it's the KTM who out drags everybody else, can he get it
00:22stopped in time, he runs wide
00:23Herlings tries to sneak up the inside, Febber in there as well alongside the bullet, and he emerges in second
00:28position
00:29A mistake through the first couple of corners then for Herlings, but it's Koonan who leads the way
00:34Febber second, Herlings third, Jonas into fourth, Oliver in fifth place, great start for the Spaniard
00:40Then DeWolf in white in sixth, and then seventh for Adamo, Geiser in there in around eighth
00:44Volando nine, Volandes in tenth place, but for Lucas Koonan, an absolute flyer of a start
00:50As he tries to put distance between himself and the chase impact on this opening lap
00:56Kai DeWolf looking for a way through on Oliver early as well, as he looks to try and find his
01:00way into Finn
01:01But no way through there as everybody comes through over the finish line for the first time here, all 26
01:07riders
01:08Where is Maxime Renault, because obviously he had a lot of work to do, and Renault in 21st position
01:14Right from the outside gates, not an easy first corner to navigate when you're that far east
01:19Or west, depending on which way the start straight is facing
01:22Ah, and there is Geiser going after the white rider, or the rider in white I should say
01:28And for Kai DeWolf, these two fighting over seventh and eighth down the back straight
01:31They've got Oriol Oliver to the outside as well, both finding their way past the Spaniard on the number 83
01:37As they both look to go after Pauls Jonas, on the green Kawasaki, the home rider
01:44Tim Geiser needs a good Grand Prix result this weekend, after his mishaps the last couple of weeks
01:51DeWolf denies it, and as he gets held up, the Slovenian, guess what?
01:55Oriol Oliver responds immediately, fires his way back past the five-time champ
01:58Who goes by, once again, just as quick as that pass was made
02:02There's Fernandes, chasing his fellow Spaniard as well
02:06And gets the job done
02:08Fernandes now up into what, sort of eighth place, seventh place
02:12Frantic opening first lap here in Kegums
02:17Fernandes not done yet
02:21Meanwhile, Hurling's trying to find his way past Fevre
02:25He's going to have to be smart here, Fevre's going to open up this corner
02:28Nice and early, Hurling's ready well though
02:31Is he going to go the long way around here? Yes he is
02:33Used the hard, firm bank
02:37Which was very stodgy yesterday
02:39Wouldn't have made that move yesterday, that's for sure, in the qualifying race
02:43Lucas Coonan, about a second and a half further up the track
02:45The Cow are second, the defending champion, Roma Fevre there in second
02:49Hurling's here in third
02:50Seem to have lost a little bit of time in that right-hander there
02:52Because not as close to Fevre as he was a moment ago
02:55Going in certainly anyway
02:56One lap complete, Coonan, Fevre, Hurling's
02:59Coonan in the 57's already
03:01157.4
03:0458.04 for Fevre
03:06And a 58.7 for Hurling's
03:09And they're already starting to gap
03:11Pauls Jonas, the lead rider from Latvia
03:13The only rider probably
03:14One of the riders from Latvia
03:18He gets it wrong over the Dragons back
03:19He runs wide
03:21Kai DeWolf
03:22Sighed his way up the inside
03:27Jonas thought he was going to find a way back by there
03:28But there was no way through
03:31DeWolf now up into fourth place
03:33Yeah, Pauls Jonas there
03:34His first Grand Prix at this circuit
03:36Since 2022
03:36When he was
03:40Second overall
03:41It's fantastic for him to finally make it here
03:43The last two years he got injured in the Grand Prix before
03:45So it's great for him to be
03:46But this one won't be so pleasurable
03:48Yeah, committed to the outside
03:50Then he thought he'd slingshot down the inside here
03:52But DeWolf just got across
03:54Look how he pre-jumps nicely
03:55Triples his way almost downhill
03:57And that gave Jonas no way back
04:00Into that fourth place
04:01But, tell you what
04:02The former MX2 World Champ 2017
04:05Going after
04:06The more recent MX2 World Champ
04:09From a couple of years ago
04:092024
04:10Kai DeWolf
04:13But youth
04:14Kind of leading the way at the moment
04:18As he doubles his way up into that corner
04:19He's up in that fourth place
04:22And he was feeling good this morning
04:24In the warm-up session
04:26Yeah, second fastest to Geoffrey
04:28In the time practice yesterday
04:29And, yeah
04:30Unable to make that really count
04:31In the qualifying race
04:32But for sure
04:32DeWolf has great pace
04:33And great form around here
04:35Still
04:35Not 100%
04:36Maybe still recovering slightly
04:37From the earlier hand injury
04:38But yeah, not much about that now
04:40He's growing into the class
04:41Of course
04:41Still a rookie
04:42But yeah, at the moment
04:43He's got great pace
04:44And I think he's eyeing up her earnings here
04:45Because Geoffrey has been unable to channel for a man
04:47Likely thought he might be able to
04:49Yeah, Herlings was fast as a warm-up
04:51He did that on the very last lap as well
04:52Favreau, Geisse, DeWolf
04:53All in the mix as well
04:54So too, Maxime Renault
04:55But from 25th
04:5726th gate pick
04:58For Maxime Renault
04:59A lot of work to do
05:00He's in 15th at the moment
05:02He's all the way over to the right-hand side
05:04Meanwhile
05:05Some barbanging going on there
05:07With Rupert Fernandes
05:08Lucas Coonan
05:09Just drifted ever so slightly wide
05:11But not wide enough
05:12To allow anybody else through
05:13Then there was a bit of
05:13Breaking traction there for Herlings
05:15That allowed
05:15Favreau to go by
05:17Just watch the rear end
05:18Of the rider in black
05:18Over on the right-hand side here
05:19Gate number 2
05:21Everything is all good
05:22Till here
05:23And then it just breaks traction
05:24There
05:25And that allows Favreau
05:27Just to
05:27Carry that momentum
05:29Into second position
05:30By the time they reach turn 2
05:31And that is why
05:32We've got Lucas Coonan
05:33Roman Favreau
05:34And Geoffrey Herlings
05:35Occupying the top 3
05:36Positions right now
05:38Nearly 3 seconds clear
05:40The number 5
05:40Over Favreau
05:42Herlings about a second further back
05:44He's got his head down
05:45Once redemption
05:47For his 2 second place finishes
05:50To Geoffrey Herlings
05:50He went 1-1 a year ago
05:51And when you arrive here
05:53With the championship
05:53Leaders red plate
05:5432 points clear
05:55Riding the way
05:56That he's riding
05:57The Belgian
05:59There's
06:00I don't think there's
06:01A more confident person
06:01In the panic at the moment
06:02No I mean
06:03He has
06:06Just thought Herlings
06:07Was going to make the move there
06:08But yeah Coonan
06:10It's coming from the
06:11Bullity sense
06:12But yeah Coonan
06:13He has either won
06:14Or made a mistake
06:15By the looks of it
06:15For most of the season
06:17And Geoffrey
06:18Has capitalised
06:19But he has made those mistakes
06:20But right now
06:20Yeah he has to get past
06:22Ronald Favreau
06:23Or Coonan
06:24Is just going to run away
06:26Yeah there was
06:28Maybe
06:28An optimistic
06:30Shot
06:30Down that hill
06:31Into that outside
06:32Inside
06:32You've got to be
06:33A couple of bike lengths
06:33Quicker
06:34And closer
06:35To make that happen
06:36Really
06:36On that part of the racetrack
06:38But Favreau
06:39At the start of the race
06:40Like all these guys
06:41They can put in some sprint laps
06:43But their sprint pace
06:44Is not as good as
06:45Lucas Coonan's
06:45At the moment
06:46Who's now more than
06:46Three seconds clear
06:47Of these two
06:48Fighting over second place
06:49Favreau and Herlings
06:50DeWolf
06:50About two and a half seconds
06:51Further back
06:52They've all got different
06:54Fast times
06:55In different sectors though
06:56Herlings in sector 1
06:57DeWolf in sector 2
06:58On that lap
07:01In the gap still
07:023.1
07:03Between Coonan and Favreau
07:04At the head of the field
07:05Behind DeWolf
07:06You've got Paul Jonas
07:07Nearly four seconds behind
07:07In 5th
07:08Then Geiser in 6th
07:09Fernandez 7th
07:10Oliver 8th
07:10Adamo 9th
07:11Bellana 10th
07:12Jürgen Matthias
07:12Telviku
07:13Finds himself 11th
07:14Head of Kevin Horgmoe
07:16On the Honda Motor Blues SR
07:17Motor Machine
07:17Renault up to 13th
07:19He's just found his way
07:20Past Spies
07:21Then we've got Havisto
07:22Van Donenck
07:24Van Donenck
07:24Elzinger
07:26Kidd, Panzer
07:27And Ferrato
07:28Your top 20
07:29Watson
07:30Just outside of the points
07:31In 21st place
07:34Great deal in this
07:35For Paul Jonas
07:37Wearing the colours
07:38At the national flag
07:39Got on the podium here
07:40A few years ago now
07:41In MXGP
07:42Never won an MX2 Grand Prix here
07:44I think much to his disappointment
07:46He makes a mistake there
07:48Geiser
07:48Powers around the outside
07:49Capitalises
07:50Right time
07:51Right place
07:52Well right place
07:53Right time
07:54For the Slovenian
07:56As he moves ahead
07:57Into 5th place
08:00Looked like he was going to try
08:01And square him off there
08:01But got caught out
08:02Because Jonas suddenly stopped
08:03On the inside
08:04So a nice last minute decision
08:05Guys are there to keep
08:06Blasting around the outside
08:07And take the clear path
08:09Of the circuit
08:09Where the Latvian was not
08:12This is the building
08:14Kaida Wolf getting closer
08:16Gaining in confidence
08:17These two obviously
08:18Know themselves very very well
08:19From not just being in
08:21And around the paddock as well
08:22But being two Dutch riders
08:23But also riding 450
08:25In the last couple of years
08:26In those Dutch Open Championship races
08:28Which you know what
08:30You see the footage
08:31From there
08:31They get fantastic crowds
08:33Great racing
08:34Especially when these two
08:35Show up
08:36With Roman Fevre
08:37In the mix as well
08:38You know
08:38It does feel like
08:39A Grand Prix round
08:40When they show up there
08:42To those events
08:42So anyway
08:44They're not thinking about
08:45That at the moment
08:46Geoffrey Hurley
08:47Is trying to find a way
08:47To get onto the rear wheel
08:48Of Roman Fevre
08:49As Lucas Kunin
08:50Sets the fastest lap
08:51Of the race
08:53156081
08:5456.5
08:55Fevre
08:5657.1
08:57So lost
08:58Full second
08:59That time around
09:00Geoffrey Hurlings 2
09:01Your race leader
09:01DeWolf
09:03157.2
09:05Yeah there was that
09:06Fabulous footage
09:07Behind the scenes
09:07Of Hurlings and DeWolf
09:08Practicing together
09:09Back before DeWolf
09:10Even won an MX2 Grand Prix
09:11And he's there
09:12Comparing himself
09:13With Hurlings
09:14And not feeling great
09:15About life
09:15Because obviously Geoffrey
09:16Was then at his absolute prime
09:18And Geoffrey famously said
09:19That by the time Kai
09:21Gets to MXGP
09:22He'll be off into the sunset
09:23While he's stuck around
09:24And now the two of them
09:25Are finally racing each other
09:26Which is great to see
09:27Yeah yeah
09:28That berm
09:29That Hurlings
09:30Sorry that Fernandes
09:31Has gone through there
09:33Very very loose
09:34And powdery
09:34To the outside
09:35I'm just wondering
09:35How long it's going to be
09:36Before it disappears altogether
09:39But Fernandes
09:39Here in that seventh place
09:41Got a podium
09:42A week ago
09:43Third overall
09:44His first of the season
09:45Took him seven rounds
09:46To get there
09:46But only had to wait
09:48A couple of rounds
09:48Well he got one didn't he
09:49For not of a round in China
09:50Last year
09:53Right
09:53Is this gap coming down?
09:55Let's have a look at the splits
09:56Well through the first two splits so far
09:58Lucas Kunin is head and shoulders
10:00Above these two
10:0129.9
10:02This is first
10:03Second and third in the race
10:04Is it Kunin
10:04Bevra Hurlings
10:0529.9
10:0630.6
10:0729.9
10:07Very similar
10:08For Hurlings on Kunin
10:1029.7
10:1030.3
10:1130.6
10:12So give and take a little bit
10:14And as Bevra and Hurlings
10:16Strip each other up
10:17This is perfect for Kaida Woolf
10:18The Nistan Husqvarna rider
10:19In white
10:201.4 seconds behind the man in black
10:24Geoffrey Hurlings here
10:29Talk about the Honda being
10:30More sort of special on the harder pack track
10:34Rather than the sandy circuits
10:35At the moment
10:36It's just what you hear
10:37In and around the paddock
10:38Talking to various different people
10:39Technicians and things like that
10:41So in some respects
10:42This is not really a deep sand circuit
10:44Is it?
10:44This very hard element underneath
10:47Erm
10:48But he just didn't make the good start
10:49That he wanted
10:49And that was the question
10:51Somebody put to me yesterday
10:52Was how do you think this will pan out
10:53And I said if Lucas takes the start
10:55And Geoffrey's there in second
10:57It would be interesting
10:57But if Geoffrey doesn't get a good start
10:59With him
10:59Then expect Lucas Kunin
11:01Maybe
11:01To start pulling clear
11:02Of the field
11:03And by the time Geoffrey does get to second
11:05If that is the case
11:06Then of course
11:06It may be too little too late
11:08But if Geoffrey Hurlings gets a start
11:11What will the outcome be?
11:13And of course you don't know that
11:14Because we saw it in the qualifying race yesterday
11:16Lucas Kunin came from out of nowhere
11:17On this part of the racetrack
11:19To apply the pressure
11:20Forced a maybe a little mistake
11:22From the 84
11:23And was able to make the pass
11:25At the end of this part of the racetrack
11:26And from there he disappeared anyway
11:28So
11:29You've got to say
11:30That
11:32Lucas Kunin
11:32Has been very very efficient
11:34He's been solid
11:35He's confident
11:36He's very very quick
11:37He's not making that many mistakes
11:38At the moment
11:39This is why he's leading the championship
11:41Okay
11:41Not necessarily by the 32 points
11:43Because of his consistency
11:44Because obviously
11:45Geoffrey Hurlings now
11:46Has had one technical issue
11:47More than the Belgian
11:48Yeah for sure
11:49They've all pretty much had
11:50One single DNF
11:51There in the shape of
11:52Yeah obviously
11:53Lucas and Geoffrey
11:54Having that issue in Switzerland
11:55But now Geoffrey having a second one
11:56And he's trying to line up
11:58A gentleman here
11:59That was a nice double
12:00Into that outside line
12:01And he is close enough
12:02This time around
12:02And he should be able to do something
12:04There was a slight mistake there
12:05But again he's going to have to come short here
12:07Full commitment
12:08Once again from Roman Fevre
12:10Wasn't about to let the bullet through
12:11But that all came as a result of
12:13And he does the maximum
12:14No
12:14Clutch in
12:15Panic rev
12:15Just to try and spook
12:17Fevre into the outside
12:18He's too old for that Geoff
12:20He's not going to whittle
12:21And bow down to that
12:22Not at all
12:23Just kept his head on
12:24Kept it strong
12:25And it cost him time didn't it
12:27Because he didn't have the power right
12:28For the corner
12:29So he's lost all that ground
12:30As he was trying to hassle
12:31Fevre out of second place
12:33And it takes something like
12:34Handle the cannibal
12:35To unnerve Roman
12:36And yeah the reigning champion
12:37Is holding fast
12:38As he's got every right to do so
12:40All came as a result of
12:41The landing of the city jump
12:45Fevre committed to the inside
12:46Hurlings went to the outside
12:48Through the next right
12:49Up and over the monster energy mountain
12:51Where he just doubled his way
12:53In through that corner
12:54Kept that momentum
12:55Which he needed to
12:55Just to give himself
12:57Half a chance of getting alongside
12:58But
12:59Wasn't able to get around Fevre
13:01At the bottom of the hill
13:02Through the right hand turn
13:02And then obviously got squeezed
13:04Now he's just starting to air
13:05His frustration a little bit
13:06That clutch in panic rev
13:08Kind of technique if you like
13:11One of the oldest tricks in the book
13:14But didn't work
13:15On one of the oldest riders
13:16In the paddock
13:17Roman Fevre
13:18Yeah it's not his first rodeo
13:20There's no doubt about that
13:21Unlike the 250 machines
13:23These 450s able to clear that little double
13:24No problems at all
13:26Out of that corner
13:26They've got enough grunt to do it
13:27And yeah Fevre able to hold a tight line
13:29Still do the double
13:30And Hurlings
13:31Almost had to case it on landing
13:33Otherwise he was just
13:34Would have lost far too much time
13:36Got it all to do again then
13:41Fevre keeping his head down
13:42Not flustered
13:43By what's going on around him
13:44Hurling's lost a little bit of time
13:46That's brought DeWolf back into play
13:47Less than two seconds now
13:49Between these two
13:49Watch Hurlings line here
13:53Beautiful
13:53He just doubled his way through
13:55And then equally as impressive
13:57On the inside there
13:58Is Kai DeWolf
14:01Still favours that outside line
14:04So too does DeWolf I think
14:05Or did he go to the inside there
14:07Look definitely looked like he was outside
14:08When he came into view
14:09The other side of the
14:11The double there
14:16Nothing in it between these bikes
14:18All factory of course
14:19You've got factory KTM
14:20That's 5.2 seconds further down the track
14:22Factory Kawasaki
14:23Factory Honda
14:24Factory Husqvarna
14:25Factory Yamaha
14:26With Geisa next
14:27In fifth place
14:28Be 6.6 seconds behind
14:30This battle here
14:31Thanks in part to a poor start
14:33For the five time champ
14:34See him probably coming into that corner
14:36Now
14:37The other side of the banner
14:37There he is
14:39And his teammate Renault
14:40There in 12th place at the moment
14:42Hunting down the other Yamaha
14:43Of Jorgen Matthias Talbicu
14:44For 11th
14:45So yeah still paying a penalty
14:46Fernandez
14:47Getting rough and ready
14:48With Jonas
14:50But
14:50Barges him out of the way
14:51For sixth place
14:52Kept it clean though
14:54But River Fernandez
14:55Don't move for hanging around either
14:58The Honda HRC
14:59Petronas rider
14:59Will hit the line
15:00At the end of lap 7
15:01In sixth place
15:07Still a good show in this
15:09From PJ
15:10A lot of pressure on his shoulders
15:11This weekend
15:13Best result so far
15:14Was his fifth in race one
15:15In Argentina
15:16Probably could have been better
15:17Than that had we not had that
15:17Restart in race two
15:18Because he was right there
15:19In the thick of it
15:20And then he got caught
15:21In that second turn
15:21Malay didn't he him
15:22Ferrato
15:23A few others
15:24Which cost him in the end
15:25Paul's Jonas
15:27And he was picking up
15:2813th place but
15:31He very nearly missed
15:32The MSGP of Germany
15:33Picked up a small rib injury
15:35In France
15:35So of course
15:36He's missed this race
15:37Particularly through injuries
15:38In Germany
15:39But in the end he wanted to race
15:40And yeah fair play
15:41He did in Germany
15:42But still
15:43Perhaps not 100%
15:44With those rib injuries even
15:46Might not have the biggest crowd
15:48In terms of this
15:49Not a French GP crowd
15:50Or an Italian crowd
15:51Or you know
15:52Somewhere like that
15:53Spain for instance
15:54But the crowd that we've got here
15:55They've turned out in their
15:56Tens of thousands
15:57Just to support PJ
15:58And the racial eye
16:00You know the racialist brothers
16:01And you can hear that noise
16:02All around this race track
16:04In fact
16:04Just looking at that
16:05Now that we see them
16:07Bathe in that glorious sunshine
16:08Crowd probably bigger
16:09Than we think it is
16:10They're certainly making a good noise
16:11Sounds like a football crowd
16:12Here today
16:13In Latvia
16:13They'd almost forgotten
16:14What Paul's looked like
16:15After three years away
16:16So yeah it's a great frame
16:17To be here
16:17It really is
16:18It's definitely added to the crowd
16:19I've seen 41 jerseys
16:20All over the paddock here
16:22I saw 42
16:26Yeah but you've been to 11 already
16:31Every time
16:32Hurlings gets close
16:33Guess what
16:34Fevre responds doesn't he
16:35There's Kuna disappearing
16:36He's just managing that gap
16:37Isn't he
16:386.1 seconds
16:39He's just doing enough
16:40To stay ahead of these guys
16:4157.7
16:42Last time around
16:4358.2
16:4458.05
16:46For Fevre
16:47At this time
16:48So the gap 5.7
16:50You can see how
16:51Then the track is pretty much
16:52Opened up into one line now
16:54Just because of the fact that
16:55After the finish line
16:56Yes you could probably go inside
16:58But it's so hard
16:58And loose and unpredictable
16:59That you just end up
17:00Carrying that speed
17:01Into that outside sweep
17:02Through the berm
17:03When you get out of there
17:04They're just opening up
17:05Into the outside left
17:06And the same here
17:07They're pretty much
17:08You know using that
17:09Outside line here
17:10Just pre-jumping over that
17:11Little step down
17:13And it's now going to be
17:14Down to mistakes
17:15There was a slight mistake
17:16There from Fevre
17:16Just through those holes
17:17Had to sort of like
17:19Roll in front end first
17:20Hurlings wheeled his way through
17:22He's gained a couple of bike lengths
17:24But not enough
17:24To make a move in the next turn
17:26And even there
17:27Whilst he was up on the pegs
17:28Hurlings
17:30Wasn't able to gain ground
17:31On the Frenchman
17:32But he's closer than he was
17:33A lap ago
17:35And so too is Kai DeWolf
17:36So this now
17:38Definitely a six wheeler
17:40For these three riders
17:41Fighting over second place
17:42Fevre Hurlings and DeWolf
17:45How efficient was DeWolf through there
17:47That time around
17:48And he's going to be the same here
17:49As well
17:49Just doubles his way through
17:51Inside line
17:52Waits for Hurlings to commit
17:53And if he
17:54If Hurlings goes outside
17:56I was
17:57I was wondering whether
17:59DeWolf was going to switch to the inside there
18:01But he went
18:01You know what?
18:01I'll just carry that outside line
18:03Keep that momentum
18:03A slight mistake
18:05From Hurlings
18:05And Fevre also
18:07Under attack once more
18:11Right
18:11Fevre's been in this position
18:13Once before
18:13Early run in the race
18:14With Hurlings
18:15Breathing
18:16To the outside
18:17Of his right elbow
18:18And we've seen this play out as well
18:20Outside line again
18:21For the 84
18:23In that same corner
18:25He's going to have to get his elbows out
18:27Ah
18:28Mistake on the exit there
18:29From Fevre
18:31Hurlings
18:32Tries to cut through to the inside
18:33Not able to
18:34Find the traction needed
18:38See how they're switching left and right
18:40Using all of the racetrack here
18:42Nine laps complete
18:44Cooner now
18:44Nearly seven seconds further up the track
18:46On course for another race win
18:48As it stands right now
18:49Fevre not
18:51Letting Hurlings through
18:52Not letting him get close
18:54Best seat in the house at the moment
18:56Is DeWolf there
18:57In that fourth place
18:57Oh yeah
18:59Absolutely
19:02White bike on the floor
19:03Not quite sure who that was
19:05Right
19:06Riders stood up
19:07As they came through there
19:08Knew they had to roll off
19:14Right Hurlings this time
19:15Is he going to get closer
19:16Close enough to make a pass at the end of the straight
19:18Fevre will know that he's there to the right hand side
19:20So he'll automatically commit to the inside
19:23That's exactly what he does
19:26Hurlings has to be forceful here
19:27Still can't find a way through
19:30Fevre with his heart in his mouth
19:32This time no reply
19:34Finally
19:34Finally after ten laps
19:35Nine and a half laps
19:36Hurlings finds his way in the second
19:38And DeWolf is going to go straight through as well
19:40Into third
19:41A bad couple of corners
19:42For the defending champ
19:46So Hurlings now second
19:48DeWolf third
19:49Fevre now down to fourth place
19:59And you know what?
20:00DeWolf ain't done yet
20:02He's definitely got his wolf claws in to Hurlings
20:05Watch this here
20:05There was a slight mistake there from Fevre
20:07A couple of mistakes on the way out
20:09Hurlings was committed
20:10Decided he was going to close the door no matter what
20:12And then as Fevre was kind of
20:15Trying to lick his wounds after that
20:17Guess what?
20:17He went wide
20:18Didn't realise that DeWolf was there
20:19Left the door wide open
20:20And DeWolf was through
20:22In the blink of an eye
20:23For sure Kai saw it coming
20:24And yeah was able to take advantage of the confusion
20:26To capitalise on that
20:28And go straight through on Fevre
20:29But yeah he's now eyeing up
20:31Hurlings
20:32And Fevre back to fourth
20:36Frantic lap then
20:37Lap ten
20:39For Hurlings, DeWolf and Fevre
20:40Who's now gone from second to fourth place
20:43And whilst that was happening
20:44Cooner now 7.4 seconds clear of this battle
20:47There he is
20:47The other side of the clubhouse
20:49Heading round through the Dragons back
20:51And up onto the plateau
20:53But you can already see the turn of speed
20:55That Hurlings has put in on DeWolf here
20:57Just felt that he was being held up by the Frenchman
21:01DeWolf doing his best to go with
21:02The 84
21:03Top of the hill
21:06This is all about now
21:08The commitment
21:09Who gets on the gas the soonest
21:11Brakes the latest
21:12Brakes the latest
21:12The hardest
21:14Just to get around this racetrack
21:15More efficiently
21:16Than the other
21:176.9
21:18The gap coming down
21:19All of a sudden Hurlings gains
21:20Four tenths of a second in sector one
21:23Sector two
21:24Is going to be on the run towards the city jump
21:27Jonas
21:27Here
21:28Under attack from Oriel Oliver
21:30There these two fighting over seventh place
21:31And Adamo there
21:32Fresh off of his first MXGP podium in Germany one week ago
21:36He's lurking in the background in ninth
21:38And for Landren
21:39Red Bull Ducati
21:40They need some good news
21:41He's there in tenth place
21:42About eleven and a half seconds back though
21:47Yeah the lone warrior left for that Red Bull Ducati squad for Landren
21:49And look at this
21:51DeWolf alongside
21:52Oh I tell you what
21:54Hurlings didn't know he was there
21:55DeWolf did his scrub
21:57Hurlings gets back alongside him
21:59Commits to the outside
22:00Hurlings again
22:02Decided to jump short
22:03Because he didn't want the consequences of what was going to happen in the next turn
22:08DeWolf didn't even blink did he?
22:09He made that commitment to scrub his way
22:11Hurlings was already jumping right to left
22:14Oh sorry left to right
22:16Very very close call that for the Husvada rider
22:19But he found a way through
22:21He now fancies his chances
22:22We've got the gap down to six and a half seconds
22:24To the leader
22:25But with eight minutes plus two laps to go
22:27I don't think that
22:28DeWolf or Hurlings
22:30And we said it earlier
22:31When it got to about four or five seconds
22:32Probably not going to find a way onto the rear wheel of the KTM rider
22:37But it's not often you see Jeffrey Hurlings struggling
22:40Sandier conditions
22:41We've seen it so far
22:42Watch this here
22:44DeWolf
22:45He's coming in here
22:46He's going to scrub
22:47Hurlings was
22:48I tell you what
22:49They were foot-picks apart
22:52From clashing mid-air
22:54Tried to get back to him here
22:55Could have gone long
22:56Could have sent him into the GoPro boards over the berm
22:59But chose not to
23:02That's how tight it was
23:04DeWolf didn't flinch
23:05He's made his move
23:07Had to be brave here
23:08Hurlings couldn't quite show him a wheel
23:10Wow
23:11Great racing from the two Dutch riders
23:12Amazing shot
23:14Spine tingling
23:14Commitment from DeWolf
23:16And yeah for sure
23:17That will help Cooner
23:17Now two more points
23:18Over Hurlings has gained
23:20Thanks to
23:21Not his best friend Kyle DeWolf
23:22But yeah DeWolf looking absolutely spectacular here
23:25As he has on many occasions in MX2
23:27And well
23:28Second is as good as a win in race one
23:29If he can reverse the order
23:30He could be on for his first ever Grand Prix victory in MXGP
23:37Right back to the drawing board then
23:38For the Honda HRC Petronas man
23:41As he now comes under pressure from Roman Fevre
23:43Fevre would have just looked at that and gone
23:45Well you just came past me
23:46DeWolf came past me
23:48You've rattled my cage a little bit
23:49But I've seen now what's happened ahead
23:51So I think I've got you on the ropes now Jeffrey
23:54And I'm gonna come after you for that third place
23:56Because DeWolf is in a different postcard at the moment
23:58Two and a half seconds further up the track
24:00Because that has probably just stunned Jeffrey Hurlings there
24:05What happened that last lap
24:06Wasn't expecting DeWolf to be there
24:07He was
24:08Right
24:09Right where he needed to be
24:11And forceful as well in the process
24:13And Fevre the shot that he is
24:14Will smell blood in the water
24:16And he will definitely want to take advantage of that
24:18But in the meantime
24:18This chap is absolutely cruising away
24:21I've just noticed there that Oliver has got past Pauls Jonas as well
24:24A shame for the home crowd there
24:25But Oriel putting in a great ride for Gabriel SS24 KTM
24:28He's taught himself how to ride sand superbly
24:30And yeah looking in great shape
24:32Well the top private here in this
24:34Works factory rider stacked field
24:37On board here or above
24:39Fevre I should say
24:40Into the final corner
24:41He's got Hurlings just ahead of him
24:4312 laps in the books as we get to the line now
24:47DeWolf dealing with traffic ahead of him
24:49Lucas Coonan on screen
24:51Heading up onto that triple
24:52That uphill plateau
24:547.8 seconds clear of Kai DeWolf
24:56On the Nostand Hasvana
24:58But Lucas Coonan
25:028 race wins so far this year
25:03Looking to make it 9 if you can
25:07And further extend his lead
25:09Over Geoffrey Hurlings by what?
25:11Another 5 points
25:12So heading into race 2
25:15That could potentially be 37 points
25:18Lead that the Red Bull KTM rider has
25:23Over the Dutchman
25:24Over the Dutchman
25:27And just looking so fluid
25:30And making it look so easy
25:32We've heard time and time again
25:33Geoffrey Hurling say this year
25:35Complimentary of course
25:36To Lucas Coonan
25:37You know this is what happened
25:38You know he's 19 up 31
25:40He's got youthful sort of exuberance
25:42In terms of if you read between the lines
25:44I was that kid once
25:45Yep
25:46So knows what it's like
25:47You know he's been there
25:48Seen it been in that position
25:49Where sort of like pretty much
25:51NFG you know
25:52Where you just kind of
25:54Just take it to everybody
25:56You don't even worry about the consequences
25:58You just in your own little world
25:59And that's exactly what Lucas Coonan is
26:01At the moment
26:02And when things click
26:05You know there's no stopping him at the moment
26:07The phrase he used for us in interview there
26:09Was the explosiveness
26:10The explosiveness that Lucas has
26:12And that certainly is what's happened here
26:15At the top there
26:15He's now looking at
26:16Well he's on 9 MHGPU wins
26:18Which actually matches what he did
26:19Almost in MX2
26:20His 10th would match that
26:21To bring it around 10 in each class
26:23To bring it to his 20th Grand Prix win
26:25Already up into the history books in this class
26:27And yeah looking fantastic
26:29It's got to be said
26:31The Coonan's between them
26:32Have 50 Grand Prix podiums
26:34You know that?
26:34That's a good start
26:3716 for one
26:3834 for the other
26:4034 for Lucas of course
26:42Yeah
26:45Yeah I mean Sasha
26:46Just that smaller
26:46That slightly smaller stature
26:48Talking to Lucas in the past
26:49About his brother
26:50He said that if Sasha
26:51Was about half a meter taller
26:53We'd all be talking about Sasha
26:54He says he's got incredible pace
26:55In the practice
26:56He just disappears when they go head to head
26:58On the practice track
26:59But yeah in the end of course
27:00Yeah Lucas now on the bigger bike
27:01Able to boss it around
27:02And these two
27:03Are not done are they?
27:05A rider who
27:05Has incredible pace
27:07With 3 minutes plus 2 laps to go
27:09That rider right there
27:10Roman Fevre
27:10But you see he's not confident
27:12To sort of like
27:13Use those braking bumps
27:14So pre-jump down
27:15As we saw
27:15Probably Lucas Coon
27:17And we haven't seen him through there
27:18But certainly Jeffrey and Kai
27:19On that part of the racetrack
27:21And you saw the hesitancy
27:22There from Roman Fevre
27:23He approached it
27:24And then hit some
27:24Sort of like 1, 2, 3 little bumps
27:26And then dropping off
27:27So soaking everything up
27:28Through the front end
27:29Whereas the other guys
27:30Are just going in
27:30But just pre-jumping
27:32Dropping down the downside
27:33Haven't seen too much of
27:35Tim Geiser so far
27:36Here he is
27:37Monterey Yamaha
27:37Factory MXGP
27:3811 and a half seconds behind
27:41Roman Fevre
27:41At the moment
27:42Still sitting in there
27:43At what 5th place
27:44He's got the same gap
27:45Over Ruben Fernandes
27:47The second of the
27:48Honda HRC riders
27:48Still no Tom Vielle
27:49Of course
27:50That rim injury
27:51Or whatever it is
27:52That he had in Germany
27:53After France
27:54Still causing him
27:551 or 2 problems
27:56Hopefully we
27:56And I'm sure we will
27:57See him back
27:58In Montevaki
27:59In 2 weeks time
27:59When we resume
28:00Racing MXGP
28:02We are at the end
28:03Of a 3 in a row
28:03Here where we were
28:05In France, Germany
28:06And now here in Latvia
28:07Some 2,000 km up the road
28:09From where we were
28:10A week ago
28:11And we will get a week off
28:13So will the riders
28:14So any little niggles
28:15And things like that
28:16Any more testing
28:17That needs to be done
28:17Can all be done
28:19But it will just be
28:20Fine tuning
28:20More than anything else
28:21But to see
28:22Losing the tow
28:24Tim Geiser
28:24Early on
28:25To the guys around him
28:27He's just now
28:28Pretty much riding
28:29In no man's land
28:30And just trying to ride
28:31This one out
28:32Hope for a better start
28:33In race 2
28:33Get a better result
28:35Maybe give himself a shot
28:36An outside chance
28:37Of a podium
28:38No reason why he can't
28:39His team mate
28:40Maxim Bruno
28:40Has come from
28:41An outside gate pick
28:4227th
28:43Find himself in 11th
28:45About 22 seconds
28:46Behind Calvin Valandrin
28:47So the Red Bull Ducati
28:48Of Calvin Valandrin
28:50The lone Ducati rider
28:52Now this weekend
28:54As Andrea Bonacorsi
28:56Had that crash
28:56On this part of the racetrack
28:57Yesterday
28:58Through the left-hander
28:59Where we just were
29:00Get well soon
29:02Bonac
29:03Obviously
29:04Seen the images
29:05And they are not pretty
29:06Not pretty at all
29:07Pretty gruesome actually
29:08His fellow Andrea Adamo
29:10There on the factory KTM
29:11Actually passing
29:12The private KTM
29:13Mobile of Air
29:14Here is Carmen Valandrin
29:15On that Red Bull Ducati
29:16Yeah Valandrin
29:17Just getting off
29:18To an okay start
29:19In the first round
29:21And beyond
29:22Wasn't he
29:22But he hasn't had
29:23That top ten finish just yet
29:24Or two top ten finishes yet
29:25Ninth
29:26In the second and third rounds
29:28In Spain and Switzerland
29:29Got a fifth in one of the races
29:30In Andalusia as well
29:31Got a fifth in the qualifying race there
29:33But uh
29:34Calvin Valandrin
29:36Just
29:36I guess happy to be
29:37Top ten
29:38At the moment
29:39Of course he wants more
29:40Of course he does
29:41He's a guy who's won a Grand Prix
29:42He's been on the podium
29:43Several times
29:46But it's been a while poor for him
29:47There's two top ten results
29:48Coming in Andalusia
29:49And in Switzerland
29:50Two ninth overalls there
29:52For the uh
29:52South African born
29:53Dutch flag
29:54Wearing uh
29:56Yeah
29:56Ducati rider
29:57I mean
29:57Massively looking forward to the
29:59Johannesburg race of course
30:00And uh
30:00Yeah it's gonna be great to see
30:01How uh
30:02How well he does there
30:03Renault
30:03Up the inside of Kevin Haugmau
30:05Finds himself into eleventh
30:07Well these two still fighting over
30:08That eleventh place
30:09So uh
30:09The Monterelli Yamaha
30:10The Honda Motor Blues
30:11SR motor rider
30:12Oh he's gonna come up short here
30:14And you see them
30:15Just bouncing
30:17Haugmau
30:17Taking the challenge here
30:18To
30:19The 959
30:20Gotta say
30:21He's probably a little bit
30:22Beaten up
30:23Beaten up
30:23From his
30:23Crash in the qualifying race
30:25Because he definitely doesn't look like
30:27His normal aggressive self
30:28Maxime Renault
30:30Kevin Haugmau
30:31Kevin Haugmau
30:31Trying to capitalize on that
30:37Yeah we know that Kevin has been going to Norway
30:39To prepare for this one there
30:40He moved straight up there after the French base
30:42That he's been for most of the year
30:44And uh
30:44Here he is
30:45Down inside
30:46It was coming
30:47Haugmau
30:48Forceful on Renault
30:49But kept it clean at the same time
30:51There wasn't too much contact
30:52Just ran him up the side of the berm
30:53And Kevin Haugmau
30:54Now finds himself
30:55Into eleventh place
30:58Just jumped across him there Paul
30:59As well to make sure that Renault
31:00Didn't have the outside run on him
31:02But the Frenchman won't give up
31:03Yeah Maxime Renault
31:04Coming back for more
31:04Probably wasn't expecting it
31:06He'll command the inside line
31:07At the bottom of the hill here
31:08Two lap board has gone out already
31:10These two
31:11Still with
31:12Two and a bit laps to go
31:13Maxime Renault
31:14Doing everything he can to
31:15Stay in that eleventh place
31:18At the moment
31:18But again doesn't look
31:20Like his normal fiery self
31:22And just
31:22He's got his radar on as well
31:24Just looking across
31:25More concerned about
31:25What's happening behind him
31:26Than what's happening ahead
31:27Just tried to tag the front end there
31:29Of the Honda rider
31:31So this one now
31:32Just a battle for survival
31:33For Maxime Renault you feel
31:38Big hit yesterday
31:39We all saw that
31:40In the highlights
31:40From the qualifying race
31:43Tasty little dice
31:44This between the
31:45Norwegian and the Frenchman
31:47And yeah you'd think
31:48The factory rider
31:48Would have the advantage
31:49But yeah he's definitely
31:50Subpar after the crash
31:51Over this very jump
31:52Yeah Hormo
31:53Still getting stuck in
31:54And
31:56So this is
31:57This is the story
31:58Of their little race
31:59This last few corners
32:01Hormo down the inside
32:02Renault looked like
32:03He was about to sort of
32:04Square back
32:05And then eventually
32:06He got his opportunity
32:07Maybe a handful of corners later
32:09Hormo went to the outside
32:11Renault on the back wheel
32:13Commended the inside
32:14Over the next jump
32:15And into the downhill
32:17And Renault
32:18Still there in 11th place
32:20But how much longer?
32:23Put some distance
32:24Between himself
32:24And the Norwegian though
32:26On that last lap
32:27Two lap board is out
32:28Lukas Kunin
32:29Is
32:30A minute and 25 seconds
32:32Clear of this battle
32:32And there he is
32:33Going into the final lap
32:34Now
32:36So Lukas Kunin
32:38Who has
32:39Led
32:40All 16 laps
32:41Of this one
32:42So far
32:42That is not a bad shout
32:44For the number 5
32:45Championship leader
32:46Who
32:47When you think
32:48He's only got 3 seconds now
32:50But he's obviously
32:51Backed it off
32:51Kai DeWolf I think
32:52Is
32:54Gonna try and push
32:55But he'd sense that
32:56Lukas Kunin
32:56Yeah just tripling down
32:57That little step down there
32:59Using the bank
33:00149 laps
33:01Coming into this weekend
33:02Lukas Kunin
33:03Led
33:03Gonna be another 17
33:05At the end of it all
33:08Collecting plenty of those laps
33:10Led is Lukas
33:11And yeah
33:11Maxime Renault struggling there
33:13Like we say
33:13In 11th place
33:14And he's gonna come to threat
33:15Because Kai DeWolf now
33:16Will edge
33:17Gain 12 points on him
33:18In this race
33:18And that will put
33:19Maxime Renault's 5th place
33:20In the championship
33:21In danger
33:22From the advancing Dutchman
33:25Yeah he's just
33:26Pretty much been
33:26Inch perfect hasn't he
33:28Lukas Kunin
33:29Red Bull
33:29KTM Factory Racing
33:30Grabbed a footpeg there though
33:31Of course he would
33:32Just as we said
33:33How perfect he was
33:36But he's just
33:36Dancing around
33:37To his own tune
33:38At the moment
33:38Kai DeWolf is there
33:39But he knows also
33:41That maybe
33:42Lukas Kunin
33:43Has just backed it off
33:44On this final lap
33:45Or so
33:45Into that right hander
33:47Out to the side
33:48Down the start straight
33:48For the final time
33:51Barely breaking a sweat
33:53And it's a warm day
33:53Here today
33:54Mid 20s
33:55Not a lot of breeze around
33:57No celebrations
33:58As he goes down there
33:59Past pit lane
34:00For the final time
34:04Got to the front early
34:05Put in a few
34:07Fast laps
34:09Broke the resolve
34:10Of everybody behind him
34:11Which was at that point
34:12What
34:13Fevre
34:13Then Hurlings
34:14And then DeWolf
34:14And then by the time
34:16That
34:17Hurlings
34:18And DeWolf
34:18He's got past
34:19He was already long gone
34:21Seven or eight seconds
34:22Further up the track
34:23And he's backed it off
34:24But
34:26Taking the chequered flag
34:27To win race one
34:28Lucas Kunin
34:29Red Bull KTM
34:30Factory Racing
34:31And he gains
34:33Five points
34:33On Jeffrey Hurlings
34:35In the championship
34:36Battle
34:3737 now
34:37Between those two
34:38Dwarf
34:39Cross the line
34:40In second
34:40Hurlings third
34:41Roman Febber
34:41Across the line
34:42In fourth
34:42And we wait for
34:43Tim Geiser
34:44In fifth place
34:45But
34:45See how
34:47That
34:47You see how much
34:49That meets
34:49Lucas Kunin
34:53Still pumped
34:54Not sure
34:55That looks almost
34:56A sign of frustration
34:57Is something wrong?
34:58No he's alright
34:59He's
35:00Basically
35:00Yes yes mate
35:01That's what I think
35:02That is
35:04There seemed to be
35:05A funny handshake there
35:06I wasn't quite sure
35:06What he was gesturing at
35:07But yeah
35:07But when you think that
35:08He could have gained another
35:10Three points
35:10But actually turns out to be
35:11Five points
35:12Of course you're going to be excited
35:13You know what I mean
35:13Like
35:14And it's not because
35:15He's ridden bad
35:16Or anything like that
35:18He was
35:19Very very comfortable
35:20At the head of the field
