00:00For the first time today for the MXGP riders, their first race, 30 minutes plus 2 laps here
00:06In Locket, Martin Kirch on the inside gate, over on the far side
00:12Gate about to drop here, and away we go
00:14The one of Fevre gets squeezed by the two Hondas, three Hondas because all three line astern
00:21And a brester, so you go through that first turn, it looked like Vial again over the whole shot line
00:28We'll get confirmation on that, and he does lead on the way up the hill, Herlings there in 2nd, Adamo,
00:333rd, Horgmo over on the far side
00:36And Romana Mosteik in there, on the number 39
00:39Brent Van Donick in 5th place on the Fantic Factory Racing Machine, finally got a good start, the Belgian
00:45They'll be talking to Lisa a bit more
00:47Right, it was Van Donick on the 32, thought it was the 39 as we just disappeared up the track
00:53there
00:53And then when they turned right, yeah, Van der Mosteik down in 16th place
00:56But as we head uphill, Vial, Herlings, Adamo
00:59Then, Van Donick in 4th, on the number 32
01:03Does need a good result, ahead of his home Grand Prix, a few days from now
01:08These conditions, completely different
01:10Fevre wasting no time, getting alongside the Belgian, and moving up into that 4th place
01:14He's already, well, not quite actually
01:15Puts a squeeze on him, into that right hander
01:18In fact, there he goes, does find his way by, eventually
01:24Just as we were yesterday, on the opening lap of the qualifying race
01:26Tom Bial leads, Jeffrey Herlings, the two Honda HRC Petronas riders, bottom end of the circuit
01:31Herlings needed just a lap to find his way, past the Frenchman
01:34On Saturday, will it be a similar situation today
01:39Jeremy Seawer
01:42Cruises in, to pit lane
01:45Looks like he may have some kind of issue there, to state the obvious
01:48Don't want to determine what that might be
01:50Not quite yet, no, William Vox and Kleeman, the rider that went wide in that first corner
01:54But he's recovered
01:55Maxime Renault down
01:57And he's been, that's coming out of turn, 15, bottom of the hill
01:59Is he going to get caught by another right, oh, it's his teammate that snags him
02:02And then, oh, he gets hit by Kai DeWolf
02:06Double barrels there for Renault
02:08Renault couldn't, uh, be avoided there by Kai DeWolf
02:11But, obviously, the two Yamaha guys came together
02:14That would have been for, I want to say, 8th place
02:17Because guys are in 8th and Renault dropping down the leaderboard
02:20Yeah, horrendous for Renault, of course, yeah, guys, they're just moving forward
02:23Desperately there, Isaac Gifling, currently in the top Yamaha
02:25In 7th place on the JK Racing Machine
02:27We're working our way towards the end of this first lap then
02:29Tom Bial is the leader
02:32Two good starts so far this weekend
02:34Over the hole shot line twice
02:36The foxhole shot in race one
02:37Which is when it matters
02:40His teammate right there
02:41Knowing that he can just sort of
02:44Cruise, not cruise around
02:45But just sort of tiptoe his way around this weekend
02:47Not wanting to make any kind of mistakes, if you know what I mean
02:52Because this place has been a bogey place for him
02:54In sort of recent years, hasn't it?
02:57You know, he's missed a few and missed a handful of rounds
02:59Here in the past for one reason or another
03:02Yeah, Renault rejoining but, uh, over 20 seconds off the tail of the pack now
03:06Maxime Renault back in 30th and last runner on track
03:10Right, Hurling's getting closer
03:12Just as he did a lap, uh, a day ago
03:1424 hours ago in the qualifying race
03:16Got to be careful here
03:18What about going down the inside of his teammate?
03:20Jeremy Seewa's gone back out but he's still cruising there
03:21So obviously some kind of technical issue for Jeremy Seewa
03:24On the Van Rui machine
03:27Vial with his hands full of his teammate
03:30Hurling's will cut back to the inside here
03:31Try and get on the fat part of the tire
03:32And it was this part of the racetrack that allowed
03:35Roman Fevra threw yesterday when Vial just ran up the bank
03:38Hurling's having to wait a little bit longer here
03:40This time he goes around the outside
03:42Perfect dive
03:45Drops into the lead on lap two
03:48Yeah, as Australians would say
03:49Too easy for Jeffrey Erlings there
03:51Past his teammate out in front now
03:52Looking to stretch away
03:54Adamo 3rd, Feb 4th and Bandonic back to 5th after Roman's gone past him
03:59A couple of pulls of the tear off there for the number 84
04:01Jeffrey Herlings who will take over the championship lead
04:04If things stay as they are
04:05Well, even if he finishes in 19th place he'll take over the championship lead
04:08That's the situation that's the reality of the situation
04:11Not sure if Lucas Coonan is up there in pit lane or watching from the motorhome
04:16But heart in his mouth is just sunken really the reality
04:20For Lucas Coonan obviously not able to go out there and defend that championship leaders red plate
04:24Can't do anything about it even when he lined up behind the gate yesterday and of course last week as
04:28well
04:28So he's just you know just been one of those he's you've got to credit him
04:33For trying to get behind the gate
04:35Yeah, but they've just taken that decision now just to say look sort yourself out come back when you're ready
04:40to come back
04:41And if that means the championship is gone that means the championship is gone
04:44Yes, we've still got a few races to go what seven races after this one
04:48And you still don't know how this one could play out overall in the greater scheme of things as a
04:53title chase
04:54Yeah, a bit of a shame therefore kevin haugbo has made a mistake in the start of the previous lap
04:59And he's dropped down from an early fifth down into 18th place. It's a shame for the honda sr motor
05:03blues rider
05:05Fevera going after Adamo here. This would be for third position wasn't happy with this kind of bike to ride
05:11or two bike setting yesterday
05:12With the feeling he said yesterday, but hopefully making some changes to try and challenge for the win
05:17Robert Fevera still yet to get a race win on a sunday. Just got the one race overall. That's a
05:22qualifying race in germany. That was around seven
05:26Earlier this year
05:28But not too fussed about that you know at the same time
05:33Yeah, Roman being interviewed for behind the gate a couple of weeks ago
05:35He was making it quite obvious that yeah jeffrey hurling's here getting better starts this year
05:39It seems on that machine and yeah, it's definitely proving to be a thorn in the side for the defending
05:43champion as
05:44He says that jeffrey has definitely stepped it up this year probably to compete with lucas coonan
05:50Right fevre
05:52Will he go wide and try to cut back here?
05:55Chases the dirt around the outside instead
05:58wheelie wheelie triple and then double single into turn two
06:03Oh, I tell you what vial bike sideways there. That was a warning shot for him in that second position
06:10Just catches an edge
06:12There look just got a kick and then it just kind of corrects itself probably looked a lot worse than
06:17it felt
06:20Still hanging on for that second place though. Yeah, I'm a back where he was yesterday trying to pass tom
06:25vial
06:25That's how he finished the qualifying race
06:27They were at just eight tenths apart in the battle of the third and fourth yesterday
06:30And Adamo will want to get uh swiftly past the frenchman because the other frenchman is on his back wheel
06:35the number one
06:37Just behind these guys about four and a half seconds further back brent van donick on the fantic factory mxgp
06:41machine
06:41He is there in fifth place. Can't remember the last time that he uh was up at the sharp end
06:45like that for brent van donick who arrived here
06:4816th place in the championship. He did get a ninth in race one in germany
06:52And that's as good as it's being for him this year. So you're gonna have to go back at least
06:56to
06:572025 and beyond
06:59To sort of see him sort of hovering around that top five top six position
07:03He's got geyser about 1.3 seconds behind him
07:06Of course, uh, he was in eighth when he tagged his teammate on the exit of the turn this next
07:11left-hander at the start of the race
07:12coming out of here
07:15So guys on the charge de wolf behind him about two seconds further back then fernandez pantser and iago kids
07:21and roman and most like
07:22Isaac gifting for jk racing then spies tomcock adam sterry ben watson dirt store racing triumph elzinger
07:29On the vennery ktm and then we've got kevin hallmark martin kirch and kato nickel
07:36Brumman down in 27th place
07:39Siwa
07:40Has circulated maxi renault has pulled out of the race got a red zero at the bottom of the graphic
07:47Fevre still desperate to find his way past adamo
07:50The newcomer to the class number 80 andrea adamo
07:54Settling in quite nicely
07:55Spoke to us yesterday on his pre-grid interview said it's probably not been one of his best tracks
07:59Overall, but he's also had some nice memories over here as well
08:03And was hoping for some more memories around this racetrack well at the moment
08:06He's sitting there in third place keeping the defending champion behind him
08:12Kai de wolf i think has fallen from eighth place
08:18Or was he seventh behind geyser
08:20Oh tips over in that slow left-hander at the bottom of the hill that caught out ruben fernandez
08:26Picks himself up just in front of iago here
08:29Yeah fell from seven fernandez up to seven de wolf now down to eighth
08:33Here it's showing a nice run of form on that mrt racing team beta of course his first qualifying race
08:38points of the year scored
08:39Yesterday in the top 10 back at foxhills. So yeah, yeah, I go start to turn things around a little
08:44bit for that team
08:45Which is great to see
08:47Fevre just taking a quick look around just trying to
08:50survey the situation
08:52Notice he's got a bit of gap between himself and van donix about five seconds now in real money
08:56Hurling's the fastest lap of the race though 149 397
09:00Last time around as he puts a little bit of distance only two seconds to say he doesn't have to
09:05go absolutely
09:07Balls to the wall if you like
09:09Because he knows that his main rivals because lucas couldn't outline it of course roman fever the next in line
09:14are behind him
09:15Yeah, absolutely, and uh, yeah hurling's like say just about doing enough at the moment
09:20Guy said now coming up to the back wheel of van donning there's less than half a second behind the
09:24fancy man
09:25And guys are looking to move forward and his fellow slovenian pants are also just in the top 10 in
09:2910th place. Oh, Tim guy, sir
09:31Tipping over did he lose the position? He was in sixth place
09:34I think he had a little bit of time over fernandez
09:36We'll soon find out. Did he catch the rear?
09:38Oh, he just bolts up front there tipping into that turn trying to find his way into fifth pass van
09:42donning. Yeah, but then that's goes by
09:46And that was it so loses that sixth place drops down to seven tip guys up
09:54Yeah, you'll have the wolf for company pretty soon will guy sir and uh
09:57That kind of sums up tim's year as soon as he starts to attack move forward
10:00He's done these little tip overs these little issues and uh, yeah struggling there the only active running monster energy
10:06yamaha in this race
10:07Fastest lap in the qualifying race yesterday was hurling the 148 2 4 0 that was lap seven with that
10:12five laps completed here
10:13In race one who's already into the 48 eights at the moment
10:18Nobody else in the 48 territory
10:23As he extends ever so slightly 2.5 fevra down the inside of adamo and cuts him off on the
10:29exit of the turn
10:29Great firm but fair right there fevranap in the third
10:33Adamo probably won't think so though probably thought he snagged his rear wheel on the way through on the exit
10:38of the turn
10:41Since the italian going back after the frenchman here
10:50Gets a bit of a kick on that step up into the right hander as he continues to try to
10:55chase down roman fevra fevra now with clear track
10:59And yesterday it was hurling fevra vial adamo your first four in a qualifying race
11:05A bit offline there for adamo at the bottom of the hill in the braking zone
11:09Take another look at the start once more might be vial who was confirmed in the foxhole shop
11:19Honda's over there
11:23Tom vial streaks to the inside holds a nice tight line
11:30Right vial look at that perfect front wheel down the whole time
11:37Gets himself exactly where he wants to be half a bike in it fevra sorry uh hurlings to the outside
11:42of it
11:44That three out of the four riders there all hondas fevra just getting left behind by the honda hrc patronus
11:50boys
11:51fernandez getting held up there as he tagged bars on more than one occasion with tim geyser
11:57But the foxhole shot for the sixth time
12:01Going to tom vial
12:02Roman with his uh blinkers full of red hondas there with a nice little bit of uh first corner menagerie
12:07from uh
12:08Fevra managed to pick his way through the little uh incident with fernandez just just a nice recovery from what
12:13was not a great position going into that turn
12:17So forever up to third adamo down to fourth and donick still hanging on in there in fifth place
12:21Ruben fernandez finds himself in six about three and a half seconds further back
12:25Tim geyser kai de wolf jago kids and jan panzer
12:29That's how it looks at the moment with 17 nearly 18 minutes still remaining in this race
12:38Tom vial starting to find a little bit of form as well isn't he
12:47Which is good to see
12:50Is brent van donick keeps this up might get him as a guest on the studio show next week in
12:55his home round
12:57hanging right there in that fifth place
13:03Yeah, at the moment brent uh, we're looking we're looking through our records here for how how well he's gone
13:08He did take a seventh place in his home gp last year at lol of course uh homegrown belgian there
13:14and uh supreme at sand master
13:16Uh, but yeah for sure his uh his best race in mxgp we're talking a third place the fourth in
13:22finland. That's uh the
13:23And 2022 yeah, it was a couple of rounds to go
13:30Yeah, of course missed so many uh racist for over the last three years to injury of course had that
13:35savage accident
13:36uh in argentina to start 2024 and uh
13:39A really nasty experience after that as well at the local hospital. So yeah brent van donick
13:44He's gone through the wars over his years and certainly been on the uh campaign trail since at least
13:482011 in terms of the emx and mx2. So he's been around a long time
13:52It's great to see brent up there on the sharp end and iago kietz as well of course
13:56He had a good qualifying yesterday eighth in the qualifying race and the mrt racing beta rider here
14:03Inside the top 10 he's in ninth place at the moment is the number 93
14:07Should have won an mx2 world title had all kinds of problems in his in his final year in mx2
14:13a couple of years ago
14:14Of course, where uh, you know, just unfortunate wrong place wrong time that injury in france
14:19And then another one in finland a little bit later on in the year as he closed to within about
14:2310 points of andrea damo
14:25But again, you've got to complete the season got to be in it to win it and all the rest
14:28of it and he just fell short
14:30On more than one occasion
14:33gargo kietz
14:34Yeah, it's not being plain sailing in mxgi mxgp for him either
14:38But here he is looks like he's settling down nicely now with that beta in the second half of the
14:42year
14:42Yeah
14:42Four times a silver medalist in mx2 more grand prix wins than any other non-world champion this man in
14:47front of you now
14:48Iago kietz it's great to see him on screen
14:50Even it's very rare that we see the mrt racing beta up here. So fantastic
14:54He's earning his screen time up there in the top 10 got a ninth in race to his first top
14:5710 of the year in terms of actually inside the top 10
15:01And that was uh race two a week ago
15:03That's foxhill this is going to be a fantastic battle isn't it with uh isaac gifting intent
15:08Jan panza in 11th in the yellow and then right there behind him in blue
15:13gifting still trying to race his way back into fitness
15:16as we
15:17Get closer to his home grand prix about a month from now in sweden at udavala
15:22Yeah, forgive the sharpen take a breath there paul but as you were looking at your notes there
15:25He washed the front end out badly on that corner lost a lot of time and pants are closed right
15:29in but very nearly a big off there for isaac
15:32He's all right probably didn't even notice it probably don't know
15:35Swedish viking he's had bigger moments
15:38Yeah, absolutely
15:40Hansa hanging on here as animo stike looking to sneak up the insides
15:46Bar to bar it's going to be a drag race deceptive he's got the inside line here
15:51Hansa has to yield man the most like goes through into 11th place
15:57Two satellite team riders going bar to bar there yeah absolutely and uh rohan of course had a little bit
16:02of a trip to america quite successful
16:04On the sandier southwick circuit so he's coming back now to play in mxgp and uh yeah
16:08Here he is on the edge of the top 10 uh just fighting with pants. I got gifting right in
16:12his sights
16:15Yeah, romana most like then the number 39 of course uh former european 250 champions and a couple of podiums
16:20in mx2
16:20As wild cards you know with that fnh team that he used to race for
16:26But uh nothing yet in mxgp
16:27But he's just been up and down in that respect
16:29You know it's like so many riders they make the switch from mx2
16:32Just doesn't really kind of gel for them in mxgp for whatever reason you know they
16:37They look themselves and go i'm a bigger guy i'm going to suit the 450 and then all of a
16:41sudden it doesn't quite pan out like that
16:43But great to see van der most like they're knocking on the door for a top 10 finish here in
16:46this first mxgp race
16:48Tom biel doing a great job of keeping roman fevere behind him at the moment that gap
16:52Was 2.5 at the last split as they jump back onto the start straight
16:55Fevere has gained a little bit of time 1.8 now between the 16 and the one flashing into view
17:01any moment now the top of the hill
17:03here's hurlings
17:0513 minutes plus two to go
17:07Continues to lead the way here that gap now more than eight seconds 8.2 it was as they dropped
17:13onto the start straight
17:14And as hurlings drops downhill and vial hits the line has now gone out to 8.5 seconds between him
17:20and his teammate
17:23working his way to the top of the hill here as he prepares to go past pit lane
17:31First race of the year these two finished first and second in argentina
17:35Looking to do the same again here round 13 in czech republic locket hurlings and vial
17:41fevere might have something to say about that though and that gap has gone back out in favor of tom
17:45biel now
17:452.3 seconds between vial and the number one the defending champ van donick under the cost here from a
17:53hard charging
17:54Ruben fernandez is he going full terminator mode or is it going to be a nice simple pass for ruben
18:01fernandez only time will tell
18:05But he's got the belgian exactly where he wants him at the moment with 12 minutes plus two to go
18:09This would be for a fifth place finish for the spaniard in red the second rider in red that is
18:15Yeah, if you're in the fantastic pit now you are getting nervous because ruben has been known to go through
18:19a few people this year paul's jonas in
18:21South africa for example pj by the way not with us after his crash at foxhills hopefully he'll be back
18:26soon
18:26We wish you well pj is your i'm sure at home with the baby on your chest
18:31That was a bit of a lunge there from fernandez
18:34The door was left open by van donick
18:38Fernandez thought you know what i'll take
18:40The opportunity but just left the screwdriver in the pocket left the hinges intact
18:47He'll get another opportunity i'm sure
18:50But brent van donick we'll just want to get through this one this these are the kind of rides you
18:55know
18:55If he finishes fifth or sixth doesn't really matter either way
18:58It's a nice confidence boost for the 32 on that fantic factory mxgp machine and he knows that the team
19:04jackie martens everybody knows that
19:06They're without albi ferrato
19:09Folds the front in that right hand up but that berm is just starting to get a little bit light
19:13a little bit powdery
19:14A bit delicate push too hard you will push the front end through it
19:19That's not getting away with that one
19:21Yeah, the lone gunner right now for fantic factory racing mxgp after albi ferrato with a shoulder injury from foxhills,
19:27but fernandez going for it
19:28Fernandez exactly where he needs to be
19:30Bit of cross jumping there from the belgium
19:33And the spanish says well you want to go right tell you what i'll go down the left i'll link
19:37your inside line and i'll take your fifth place
19:39Thank you very much
19:40That's exactly what he does fernandez now up in the fifth van donick down to six and look at the
19:44ground
19:45He's lost just by one or two little errors wrong place wrong time on the racetrack and fernandez has now
19:51gone from
19:51About what half a second down and when he hits the next split in a moment we'll pick up on
19:57this battle in a moment fernandez has now put
20:002.6 seconds already in hand on it amazing and of course brent has to uh
20:04Basically recover his rhythm very quickly because he's got tim geyser uh less than five seconds behind him
20:10So yeah for sure he's going to get a challenge there from the five-time champ
20:13Battle for the second heating up between tom vial in red roman fever on the kawasaki behind him
20:20On the kawasaki
20:23And it's now
20:26Ah mistake there that'll help fevers cause but that puts vial on the back foot puts him in defense mode
20:34And he knows exactly what fevers going to do around here
20:37He already commits to the inside anyway vial left the door open and by the end of the straight
20:43fevra now up in the second position
20:44Don't think there's going to be too much of a response from vial maybe just still not a hundred percent
20:50Okay, not a hundred percent fit, but at the same time he's not far off of it
20:54Maybe just that little bit of uh sort of race rustiness if you like yeah
20:58You sense a hundred percent fear of uh fully committed tom vial would have knifed back into the inside of
21:02his uh countrymen in there
21:03But thought the better of it and uh instead gets a face full from roman for his troubles uh just
21:08before that liquid body drop
21:11Gap between hurlings and fevers 12 seconds there 12 and a half seconds
21:15And this is what we saw in the qualifying race yesterday
21:18Jeffrey hurlings eventually winning quite comfortably 18 seconds in the end
21:23But some of that was because once fevers got into second he decided you know what let's save it for
21:29race one
21:30So this is vial
21:34losing the back and the front
21:36And then he'd already opened the door for fevers to go around the outside set himself up that inside move
21:42going into turn two
21:44That's exactly what we've got here fevers moving into the second place
21:54Just over eight minutes yeah sorry fevers getting it loose there and the uh knock knock it sir
21:59This is the surface of nightmares isn't it sometimes paul i mean it's loose on top rocks slick underneath and
22:05with these 450s
22:06I mean it's amazing they don't it doesn't rut up more than it does but uh yeah
22:10They've got to be so careful on the throttle haven't they
22:12A bit of a kick there on the exit of the rut again didn't really feel it too much roba
22:16fevers but
22:18A lot of lap times this time around uh 4910 for hurlings 50.4
22:24for fevers but as i said he's got no interest of charging down jeffrey hurlings now with this
22:29this late into the race tim geyser
22:33In seventh mickey just looking on can't do anymore that gap 1.8 between van donick and geyser and done
22:40it on the factory fantic geyser on the factory yamaha
22:44Obviously uh lost the front end at the bottom of the hill
22:48Whilst closing in on van donick i think he just took his eye off the ball there
22:52I think there was a slight mistake from van donick and he probably tried to react to it and then
22:56caught the bump awkwardly
22:57That's what sent him down lost a position to ruben fernandez as well in the process
23:03fernandez has disappeared guys they're just trying to get himself back onto the rear wheel
23:06At brent van donick here who is in danger of losing that sixth place to the five-time champ from
23:12slovenia
23:19Back marker bottom of the hill here taking a long look like he saw the blue a long look back
23:24saw the blue flag at the top of the hill
23:26Van donick goes through in six geyser in seventh
23:33Both riders jumping braking bumps at the end of the straight different positions on the racetrack
23:41McKaylee get that camera out of my face
23:44Well, you've had one shot that's enough
23:45Just focus on the race not on me, please. Thank you very much
23:51Anyway geyser launches his attack and one sweet move around the outside cuts off the line at the bottom of
23:57the hill
23:58geyser now up in the sixth place
24:00Yeah brent possibly with a dose of arm pump. I think he's certainly not uh looking like he's going to
24:05fight there
24:05Although dwarf is the next one along from three and a half seconds back
24:08I'm sure he'll want to cling on to a top 10 at the very least the belgian
24:14So hurling spevra at vial adamo fernandez and geyser now over the top of monster energy mountain in six
24:20Vandonick seven kind of wolf here
24:23Felt okay in the warm-up this morning. He said when I spoke to him during the break
24:26Didn't do anything sort of spectacular didn't really put a lap in some riders don't they just go out there
24:31just to loosen up
24:32But he said he was unfortunate when uh he caught the rear wheel of andrea adamo in the qualifying race
24:39which kind of cost him a position or two
24:43Eventually came home in seventh in that quali race of course
24:46Here he is iron up brent van donick thinking well there's another couple of points here
24:51another point at least anyway on van donick
24:54Yeah, first gp back for the 2024 mx2 world champion he won here as part of that campaign and uh
25:00great stuff
25:01De wolfe it's good to see him back there getting warmed up for what's sure to be a challenge more
25:05challenging gp next weekend at lomel and
25:08Can't wait to see him dance through the sand there
25:11His lap times last time around before this lap we're on par with tim geyser ahead of him quicker than
25:15van donick so
25:18Geyser as he moved into that six at 151.622 de wolfe was at 151.8 just being
25:25halted here slightly so geyser two tenths better than the dutchman
25:30i'm sure his sixth place is in any kind of jeopardy at the moment tim geyser
25:39Certainly not from brent van donick and i don't think from uh kai de wolfe at this stage in the
25:43race in the stan
25:44Haspana there up on the pegs
25:48Dancing around that kind of uh banked turn 10 11
25:57as watson has moved up to 13th just found his way past max spies
26:01those two now 13th and 14th kevin hogmo in 15
26:05de wolfe have another look down the inside of van donick adam sterry in the points good points as well
26:09five points for him in 16th place
26:11He's had a cat under cal yakom terrazet martin kirch and elzinger in that 20th place final point
26:16He's got kevin brumman about a second behind him
26:19So brumman might be knocking on the door for elzinger before the end of the race
26:24Here comes a de wolfe cuts back to the inside traction all the way
26:29Van donick making him work hard for it slight bobble there for the the rider in red as he got
26:33out of that left-hand turn
26:36Yeah, in and out of the dirt early and de wolfe almost alongside van donick would have seen him out
26:42the corner of his eye
26:46Again try to have a look
26:49Easier said than done there though because at the point that you want to turn that the ground sort of
26:53changes his angle
26:53Yeah, you can push the front to sort of uh heavily
26:58Ended up washing the front on the uh just as you get on the gas yeah kind of decided to
27:02be nice to him there
27:02I think he could have put him into the wall if he'd really wanted but uh so far not deciding
27:06to uh
27:07Crunch the belgian into the side but i think if he was challenging for a championship position here
27:12He probably would have made the pass a lot earlier as well being a bit more aggressive
27:16But just trying to get through this one just get up to riding speed and that race fitness and prepare
27:21for the uh
27:23The gate drops that he's looking forward to the most well the second most he's got on them a little
27:28bit later on in the year
27:29I'll tell you what he buried the front end in there didn't he in that right hand of the number
27:3374
27:35See the body language has changed a little bit now a leper goes up on the pegs just dancing around
27:39Yeah, the dancing shoes away for now and he just decided to sit through that turn
27:44And rail it more like a berm so the intensity picking up from the number 74
27:49Waited for van donick to commit he ended up following through anyway
27:54Same line good effort this from brent van donick
28:00Set his hands full the last couple of laps
28:03Just lying there crawling up the edge of the bank he's not rolling over here for to wolf who has
28:08a go on the outside now
28:10Yeah, and donick read it he knew that he was going to come back and then squeeze him to the
28:14inside
28:14But you see how he's been able to go outside inside and then cut back and it was as simple
28:18as that that's how you work a pass
28:21kind of wolf now up into that
28:23seventh place
28:25But it wasn't easy
28:27Had to think outside of the box in the way that these riders do
28:31You outfox somebody they go a little bit tightening okay. I've already pulled out of here
28:35So the from one side to the other you're already defending there and as you do that
28:39It's either going to be a real slow next turn through that right hander or you're going to run on
28:43If you run on which is what you're banking on i've already committed to make the the pass
28:48You know to the inside of you as we get out of that turn so
28:52Adamo it's been solid here for four so far in his first race on the red bull ktm
28:58Yeah, it's a close race brewing for ninth place at the moment here
29:00This is just uh over two seconds ahead of gifting at the moment. So isaac is closing in slightly on
29:05the belgian
29:09Untidy through there for the italian
29:12It's three seconds further back of van donek gifting 1.4 behind the belgian of jargo kietz
29:20Yeah, so isaac is closing in on that one
29:24Domo they're just kind of in limbo really because he's got vial 4.2 seconds ahead of him fernandez more
29:31than seven seconds behind him
29:33So it's just almost like a training ride kind of thing just watching the pit board and
29:38Making sure you hit your marks don't make any mistakes
29:41No lapses in concentration. You had that one through here a couple of years ago in mx2. Yeah
29:47A bit of a twitch the same twitch that febra had earlier on in the race one of those that
29:51we see it and just go
29:52The same kind of twitch that a rider hits it doesn't even flinch. I think it's just like a little
29:57bump here in the road, you know, just
29:59Uh, just a little smack if you like it's in the past straight away as soon as it's locked away
30:04That's it job done. And uh, yeah
30:06The demo at the track where he took his first career race win back in 2023 part of his world
30:10championship year
30:11But yeah putting it together the nice scores here top fives exactly where he wants to be fifth in the
30:16championship right now
30:17He has admittedly said this year is a building year a learning year in mxgp for what's to come
30:22He knows that the scene's going to shift a lot of older riders a lot of people may be moving
30:26away
30:26Adama is going to be right in a prime position in mxgp
30:29Especially when the likes of simple langer felt have come up to this class in future years
30:32And dwarf will be thinking that yes, they'll all be thinking positive
30:39So jeffrey hurlings honda hrc patronus
30:41In cruise mode at the moment 14 seconds clear of roman fevre we knew when fevre got into that second
30:47position
30:48There wouldn't be a threat or a challenge for the lead because he was already quite far back probably saving
30:53that all for race two
30:55This is how he made his way past tom vial squeezed him
31:00Yeah, I probably thought he was going to go a little bit deeper into the turn, but he didn't he
31:03left on him went sort of inside
31:04Middle on the way through see again from this angle
31:07Vial knew that he was there
31:09Just dropped into that line and there wasn't even a line midway through
31:12He just committed anyway sent it around the outside made the move stick in that next right hand up
31:17Yeah, closing in on his 224th gp race win if he can get there
31:22And that's almost up to his mx2 level. He's got 104 mxgp race wins now against 119
31:28As he wrapped them up in the smaller class at the start of his career
31:32And he goes by rick elsinger elsinger in that 20th position then
31:37You pointed out there in the behind the gates uh interview we did uh earlier in the weekend there paul
31:42that uh
31:42He's missed a substantial amount of uh of czech gps obviously this sort of mid part
31:47Always the ones where he kind of got hurt before or even at uh
31:50Uh but yeah, he's only appeared here like this is not only his eighth gp at locket so that tells
31:55you in a
31:5615 16 17 year career. He's had all sorts of issues over his uh over his time
32:01Yeah, he missed 2014 15 16 21 and 22
32:08Which uh despite that still racked up a fair number of wins fair number of grand prix wins he's missed
32:13whole seasons as well in the past
32:16Imagine the numbers and the titles if i'm sure that's what people have said that's probably what he thought as
32:21well
32:21But these are the cards that he's dealt himself at some point over the course of his career and
32:27You know what here he is still going
32:31And so it's still going strong as well
32:35It's still one of those situations in it you know with okay
32:40Before lucas decided he wasn't going to line up this weekend and couldn't race last weekend
32:44He was the real nemesis the real thorn in the side of jeffrey hurlings this year
32:48You take away the two dnfs that hurlings had in latvia and germany the technical ones not the the one
32:53with the chain guy sir has been down
32:58He picks himself up that's the left-hander before pit lane there's the entry to pit lane does he fold
33:03the front does he get cross run
33:06Ends up just hit and reverse there look and then he thought he saved it
33:11So tim geyser out of sixth position in the latter stages of the race
33:19I'm going to pick himself up behind
33:23DeWolf van donick and here it emerges in ninth place
33:28Oh not looking great he's in cruise mode looked like gifting was going to get past him as well there
33:32So guys are not able to go full speed after that crash that's a real shame for the slovenian he's
33:38had a torrid race
33:40into the final lap jeffrey hurlings
33:44Just danced around this circuit without a threat but the point I was about to make before we saw geyser
33:51Just picking himself up
33:54Was yeah the real pain the real nemesis this year has been for jeffrey hurlings lucas koon and he emerged
34:00as a 68 points
34:02You know leader a couple of rounds ago two of those were dns for jeffrey hurlings one in holland one
34:08in latvia
34:10You put a couple of second place finishes in there, which is probably where he was at yeah, you know
34:15at the time of the
34:16Of the mistakes all of a sudden that gap was considerably closer
34:20So it didn't really tell the whole story just as you know this sort of uh
34:25Point swing now in favor of jeffrey hurlings
34:28It's not telling the whole story, you know, and we've heard jeffrey say the last couple of rounds doesn't want
34:32to take the points this way, but
34:33You know yeah, also a race there and he's also been on the receiving of that kind of stuff as
34:38well
34:38Yeah, he's lost so much to that sort of situation
34:40So yeah, he knows exactly where lucas is which probably makes it all the worst for him to see somebody
34:44else go through it as badly as lucas has done
34:47But i'm chasing the vial we've been here before paul
34:50Yeah, and i'll tell you what
34:51Andrea damo on the final lap just starting to spice things up a little bit here
34:56hasn't had a top two finish he's been third
34:59In that race two in germany
35:02That's his only top three finish here he is
35:06Got vial right there ahead of him vial just turning up a little bit i think with
35:11Third of a lap to go to prevent the italian launching that attack gifting has gone by geyser as well
35:16So up to nine geyser now in tenth place adamo getting closer with every turn of that rear wheel
35:25Herlings out of the final couple of corners and he was going to plunge downhill
35:29He's gonna win that race one here and jeffrey herlings victorious in locket
35:34Picks up the 25 points for his win in race one win number nine now in the season for the
35:40bullet
35:43Robert fevre a few seconds further back
35:47It's already too much of a gap to make up when he got into that second position so
35:51The best of the rest for the number one roman fevre
35:54He'll come out swinging i'm sure in race two if he gets the opportunity vial hangs on for third vial
35:59fourth
36:00We wait for ruben fernandez to cross the line in fifth all three hondas inside the top five first third
36:06and fifth for gacomo garibaldi's squad
36:11Yeah, it's been an incredible season for that squad all three of them uh delivering that on uh multiple occasions
36:16And uh yeah adama there fourth uh just quite not quite able to catch vial
36:20DeWolf sixth and bandonic the season best in seventh and for here it's in eighth another season's best for the
36:25beta rider
36:26Yeah, just waiting for the rest of the guys to come through we know that dwarf is in there in
36:29that sixth position crosses the line now
36:32Vandonic does hang on for that seventh place. He'll be over the moon with that i'm sure
36:35of all
