00:00KTM keys to the moto James Stewart. Well, while earlier I was saying family view basically anybody outside of the
00:06Lawrence
00:07They needed to stop these two brothers. They went one into this first race so far
00:10They've been here to play but nobody's been able to stop them yet
00:13Yes, the first photo though the likes of Lucas Coon and the visitor from Belgium Hayden Deegan the young American
00:18challenging them and
00:20It could happen in this moto because they'll take the results from the race earlier today
00:25Combine it with this one to determine the overall winner in Thunder Valley. There is Koon and second in moto
00:31one
00:31Lawrence the winner on the number one what's gonna happen now?
00:37Great start for Jett Lawrence on the number one
00:41Leads them into turn one and his brother is right there the 96 hunter Lawrence better start for Lucas Coon
00:47And he actually did a great job because he got a bad jump out of that gate
00:50David just got fooled by both our HRC Honda boys, but looks like he needs to get around Aaron Plessinger
00:56His temporary teammate for the weekend and at one two three
01:01So it's two Hondas in red two orange KTMs Plessinger on the seven to no no and just like that
01:07hunter Lawrence is down
01:08Bummer for a hunter that's a tough position to be an opening lap. They put a little bit of water
01:13down so easily
01:14Easily that can happen, but that's gonna be costly for him because he came into this moto
01:18Only one point ahead of his brother after the penalty. So hunter's got to get the work
01:23He has the red play to the bike because he was the championship leader coming in that is an uncharacteristic
01:28mistake from the very consistent
01:3196
01:32So he's got work to do
01:34Just around the top 10 right now
01:39Trying to see where Hayes running about seventh right now, so
01:45And shout out you see in green garrett march banks a lot of penalties to other riders in that moto
01:50March banks is the one that got credited with third in the first race earlier today
01:55Which is his second best finish ever in this class?
01:58He could even be in contention to win the race depending on how it unfolds, but right now jet Lawrence
02:05Doing what he does a lot of concern for him coming into this championship off of a very serious foot
02:11and ankle injury
02:13Was not his normal self at the opening round two weeks ago, but he won last weekend and he's in
02:18control early today
02:20Yeah
02:20If you're jet, you know the one thing if we heard him on the podium
02:24He said that you know it wasn't his foot
02:26He just needed to find a flow where he kind of found at the end of that first photo
02:29So the scary part for all these other guys is that he comes out a little bit different track and
02:34he finds that flow a lot earlier
02:35And he's going to find it if you give this gap
02:38As he got about two and a half seconds over lucas kunin
02:41So kunin the 19 year old leading the mxgp championship based in europe what a performance jumping into racing in
02:48pro motocross in america for the first time
02:50Now there is hunter lawrence who went down on that first lap
02:54With that orange yellow gear challenging rj hampshire that crash
02:59Bumped him from second to seventh
03:01Yeah, you got to watch some of the different lines hunter lawrence as he should have a run of rj
03:06right here
03:07Rj starts to close that gap rj's been around the block before but hunter had a great run
03:12Tried again, and I believe hate deacons right in front of both of them
03:15So the 96 understands I needed to get moving and this is that the same section that he went down
03:21early
03:21You notice that he didn't go inside there. He followed rj to the outside
03:24And that to me believes that that corner has to be a lot wetter than we can see on tv
03:29And so it's just too tough right now. Yeah, it's too tough. Otherwise, he would have just dope to the
03:33inside
03:33He probably would have that pass made so
03:35So checking in on hayden deegan here
03:37He's battling his teammate webb on the number two deegan has that blue and yellow gear
03:42And just ahead of hampshire on the 24
03:45Two battles starting to collide now this hampshire lawrence battle and then webb and deegan right ahead of them
03:52That's fourth through seventh. Yeah, if you're hunter lawrence, what you want, you know, hey deegan's gonna be upset after
03:58what happened
03:59The penalty because he felt a fair game right everybody else is taking it
04:03He's probably gonna be upset as he's able to get around cooper webb
04:06I think webb waved a bot so webb take a hand off on that corner
04:09Not sure maybe if he was getting a little tight in the arms or if it was a wave and
04:12there goes lawrence
04:13Yeah, I probably cooper's pulling a tear off got cross right and nothing left. Okay
04:19Hunter lawrence not messing around. He's going for two passes now, and he has it
04:24Yeah, great moves by hunter lawrence about to make that pass
04:28You see how difficult it is for god to get around and actually hunter over the last couple laps. He's
04:32made quite a bit of passes
04:34Earlier we're saying garrick march rings is right in front of him. So him to be able to get back
04:38up now. He's in fifth
04:39Hey deegan right in front of him
04:43Abshire the veteran out of florida on the rockstar energy hasparta and then a big pack back here
04:49That is a motocross is known for 40 riders on the track and there are battles all over it
04:56And hunter lawrence wants to get into another one. He is cleared web and hampshire. He wants to get to
05:01deegan
05:03classic are running strong in third
05:07And you can see these guys trying to tiptoe especially this next boat
05:10He's got hunter lawrence started losing the front end and so they picked some of these sections to buy
05:15You know clean it up because all the rust
05:17But when they do that they bring all that blue stuff back on top
05:20So currently why hunter lawrence probably went down
05:23Really really slippery racetrack right now
05:26Jorge prado in orange on the 26th
05:30Making moves he's all over web
05:33You know these guys ain't strangers go back to the supercross they've had some uh
05:37Some incidents let's just say the least so for web
05:40I don't think you'll be raising their hand up to let jorge buy this photo
05:44I almost had another one right there front wheel from prado awfully close to the leg of the number two
05:49of web
05:50veteran out of north carolina
05:54And there's prado the spaniard found a line to the inside
05:57What a move by jorge cooper stood it up in that corner jorge doped it inside
06:04Interesting scenario for prado multi-time champ in that mxgp series start of the year with a very strong second
06:11place finish
06:12Last week bike problems. He's now way back in the championship
06:16You would think he'd want to rally to get back in that first moto was
06:19Good not great. Let's see if you can get a little closer to the front on that 26
06:24Yeah, hopefully
06:25Jorge continues to do that because clearly
06:28He's still good enough to win these racers and fight for this championship, but at the same time
06:33It's like he that he goes down. He has that bike mechanical last weekend bad start on the outside
06:39And sometimes his rotting is not necessarily indicative of how his like his results
06:44Don't stop matching his rotting so hopefully he can continue that attitude to keep fighting
06:48Just remember how good he's rotting because I hate to see him kind of bow out this early because of
06:53some incident
06:54March banks on that green kawasaki
06:57Making moves again
06:59He is the one credited with third in the first race earlier today due to all the penalties
07:04He's not done going after Prado
07:08And we saw garrett a lot of times last year in the 250 class
07:11He just seems to come out of nowhere using these outside lines throwing those legs out
07:15Really religious on the using that momentum around the racetrack
07:19I think the way this track is being slippery it might help a rider like here
07:23Using these outside because of his long legs
07:25He's kind of used that to balance so far
07:27third that first moto and
07:30Top 10 this next one might be a good day for kawasaki which they need
07:35Yeah, they lost his teammate chase sexton a big crash yesterday
07:39So sexton not competing today, but march banks carrying the flag for the boys in green will
07:45Yeah, and those boys in green over that monster energy kawasaki have been working incredibly hard jason to get both
07:51chase
07:52Sexton we were talking about there out with that crash yesterday and his teammate garrett march banks on screen now
07:58Getting the bike where they needed to be garrett told me. I have never tested so much in my entire
08:03life
08:03And it was a good feeling for him for that finally to be coming together and it's showing in the
08:08results
08:08And the team spoke to me and said hey, this is us. Yes, but it's a combination too
08:12This is about garrett in his comfortable place. They're referring to him racing outdoors here in pro motocross
08:23And the team will have said they're very impressed with the testing abilities of march banks james you can speak
08:31to that all
08:32The riders will try different parts of the motorcycles, but not everyone's created equal as far as
08:38Understanding what the bike is doing and what they need yeah, absolutely
08:41I mean, we just watched the uh got a shot of lucas and then sasha couldn't and they're twins
08:46But they're completely different personalities on how they ride a motorcycle
08:49So you can imagine that as teammates. Yeah, you can help each other out
08:53But garrett ross a lot different than chase
08:54So maybe what doesn't work for chase works for garrett and I think it's important for the team to keep
09:00that morale up
09:01To let garrett know we're here believing in you just like they believe in chase and each one of these
09:05riders after the results come
09:07The team will get better the bike would get better and garrett's now starting to believe that he's going up
09:12against for a product trying to make that pass
09:15For seventh spot
09:17Great racing here enjoy the sounds of the smx world championship

21:26I
21:27I
21:27I
21:27I
21:27I
21:32I
21:41happiness there was no settling there was pure anger that he did not seal the deal in that first
21:47moto that is a big difference in sentiment and it shows you his target is changing he wants to go
21:53win but i think the first two he just realized he wasn't ready yet yeah no and that's what we
21:58went
21:58out there i was like uh-oh uh-oh that's what i was talking about his attitude and you could
22:02just hear
22:02it and that goal post is changing for them and that only comes from being able to battle with
22:08those guys last weekend he was he was battling with them but he really wasn't today he battled
22:13with these guys and if he can able to get to this uh hold off hunter lawrence for the third
22:17his moto
22:17is gonna be great big steps for the 450 rookie there's jett lawrence got the lead up to 5.2
22:25seconds now can he win two weekends in a row even while riding through injury stay with us
22:58you're going five and six seconds a lap
23:07so
23:16so
23:17so
23:17so
23:18so
32:16winner today would probably be
32:18Hey Deegan, because now you heard of him in between
32:20that moto. Now, even though he's
32:22going to beat Hunter because Hunter goes down, he
32:24still has a win, but they're still chasing this
32:26guy. They still got to figure out
32:27this scenario, and nobody has so far
32:30this year yet. Yes, that's Jet
32:32Lawrence up front, but Deegan after that first
32:34race said he thought Jet
32:36was looking back. Jet knows he's
32:38there. Starting to hear the confidence
32:40to chirping that Deegan is known
32:42for. Yeah,
32:44and that's why I go back to
32:45kind of that winning
32:47at Hayden Deegan, and
32:49sometimes you can win without winning, and I believe
32:52that today is that day for Hayden.
32:54Now, last weekend, he knew
32:56the pace with the Lawrence. He said, hey, he got the
32:58ride with him, got the battle with him, but he knew he wasn't
33:00close. Today, he's going to go off that first
33:02moto and be like, I could have had him. I made
33:04these mistakes. The second moto, I felt like I
33:06rode better, end up losing a little
33:08bit of ground, so I think there's more positive
33:10stuff. If things would have changed, I
33:12would have beaten this guy compared to last weekend
33:13where he was like, yeah, I was there, but I really
33:15wasn't there. I feel like he has a better shot
33:18going into the next weekend in his mind.
33:20JT? Yeah, just
33:21to add to that thought a little bit, I kind of
33:24felt like Hayden was better in
33:25race one just due to the track conditions.
33:28You know, he still wants to be really
33:30aggressive with the throttle application,
33:31and I just felt like he was a little more equipped
33:34for the fight in the first moto than this one.
33:36You know, Hunter kind of pushed him out of the way there.
33:38I think Hunter would have gotten away had he
33:39not fallen, but some of that I just
33:42think is due to the track going away a little
33:43bit, and you need a little bit more throttle control
33:46in race two, and Hayden hasn't really mastered that
33:48quite yet on the 450.
33:49Yeah, no, I agree.
33:50Tayden definitely looked more racier
33:52like in that first race, like he was
33:54more competitive to win.
33:55What I was impressed with is that all those mistakes
33:58that he made on the track that had better traction
34:00seemed like he got better this moto,
34:02so I don't know if the team went back and figured
34:04out some things, made some changes, but he looked
34:06more just solid, and he made his way
34:08Hunter was definitely going to get the better
34:10if I'm at this moto, but
34:11to me, the Hayden, I see
34:14an improvement. I like what I see.
34:18Jet Lawrence likes what he sees, James.
34:20White flag, one lap to go.
34:21He has outlasted the challenge
34:23for the very capable visitor, the young Lucas
34:26Kunin, who will end up second,
34:28and Hunter is barely clinging
34:30to that final overall podium spot.
34:32Jet's barely clinging to the racetrack
34:34there at the top of that hill.
34:36Marchbanks has been shadowing Prado
34:38the entire race. If Marchbanks can make
34:40the pass on Prado on this last lap,
34:42he will go third overall today
34:44and get to stand on the podium
34:45and spray the champagne.
34:47If he can't make the pass, Hunter Lawrence
34:49will hang on, and well done,
34:51welcome to America, Lucas Kunin.
34:53He wasn't able to solve Jet Lawrence,
34:55but look, Jet has won.
34:57This is incredible.
34:5926 out of the 30 races he has been in
35:01in 450 Pro Motocross, so solving this riddle,
35:04not easy for anyone.
35:06No, it's not, but I'm impressed by Lucas
35:08because, you know, we talked about it earlier.
35:11He's winning his championship over in Europe,
35:13and I'm sure as happy as the team
35:16want him to succeed,
35:17they don't want any opportunity.
35:19If something happens over, he gets hurt,
35:21there's a lot of pressure for him,
35:22so he's kind of stuck in a spot
35:23to where he wants to race this guy,
35:25but he also understands that
35:26the last thing he can do
35:27is come over and get hurt.
35:29How do you race like that?
35:30This kid showed me a lot today.
35:32Very impressed.
35:33Obviously, Jet Lawrence is still next level,
35:36only getting better,
35:36but you can't be nothing but impressed
35:39by all these guys, especially Lucas Kunin.
35:41The state of the sport, quite good.
35:43When you've got this type of young talent,
35:45the Lawrences, Deegan,
35:46and now Lucas Kunin,
35:48who would like to be able to race
35:49this championship full-time in the future,
35:51he certainly showed he could be a contender
35:54somewhere down the road,
35:55but Jet Lawrence, the story remains the same,
35:59hurt or not,
36:00when he is on the racetrack
36:01in 450 Pro Motocross,
36:03he's about as close to unbeatable as you can be.
36:07Bringing it home two weekends in a row.
36:10He's going to win both motos.
36:12Shows the number one and shows why.
36:16Still dominant, still the man.
36:18Jet Lawrence conquers Thunder Valley
36:21and Pro Motocross.
36:24And Lucas Kunin
36:25in his first Pro Motocross race in America.
36:29Second in both motos.
36:31Very impressive.
36:33Deegan is going to outlast Hunter Lawrence.
36:36There was a good battle that Lawrence crashed.
36:38Deegan will take third in this individual race.
36:41Will likely be sixth overall
36:43due to the crashes and penalty in Moto 1.
36:47I'm looking at the background.
36:50Was Hunter putting in one last charge?
36:54He was.
36:55Cut the gap back down about in half.
36:57There's Prado.
36:59And March Banks was not able to get him.
37:01So that will mean that Hunter Lawrence is on the podium.
37:04And more congratulations to the young talents,
37:07the Australian Lawrence
37:09and the Belgian native Lucas Kunin.
37:12Look at these stats.
