00:10so you don't miss the next heat.
00:12Let's get into it.
00:13SX1, race one, eight laps,
00:1610 points are on the board to be taken right now.
00:20Will it be Anderson, the defending champ?
00:22Webb, the three-time American champ?
00:24Or maybe Dean Wilson, your Super Bowl winner.
00:27Maybe Justin Hill, your fastest qualifier.
00:29The refs are up.
00:30The gate's going to drop and counter him.
00:32Race one.
00:35And again, we have two Starks out in front.
00:37That shows you just how much this elevation is playing a factor.
00:42Vince starts one of the best.
00:43Vince Freeze is one of the best starters in the world,
00:45regardless of what motorcycle he's on.
00:46And he's just done it again here in SX1, race one.
00:49How about Mitchell Harrison?
00:51How about Jorge Zaragoza?
00:53One, two, and three.
00:55Where are the players?
00:56Where are the heavy favorites in this championship?
00:58You see Anderson right there, right behind Nichols.
01:01Tough start for Anderson.
01:03Cooper Webb, not the best start either,
01:04but he's in better position than his championship rivals.
01:07But it's Vince Freeze, Mitchell Harrison,
01:09Jorge Zaragoza, Jordi Tixier.
01:13Wow, that's your top four to kick off SX1.
01:15That is a massive shake-up here in the start of this race
01:18as we're picking up Anderson way back in the field.
01:21He's back there with clout.
01:22I saw Christian Craig.
01:24Who's going to get the first lap of this world championship in 2026?
01:27It might be Mitchell Harrison.
01:28Wow, Mitchell Harrison.
01:30On the Bud Racing Kawasaki, your defending champion,
01:33Jason Anderson is down on the opening lap,
01:36making a bad day worse.
01:38Oh, that's tough for the defending champ.
01:41And it's one of the oldest sayings in motorsport.
01:43You cannot win the championship on the first round,
01:45but you can lose it.
01:46And that is terrible.
01:47Oh, and they're having problems with that Suzuki.
01:50This is a tough go.
01:51Now, for Jason, luckily,
01:52if there's any race of the night that this is going to happen,
01:56you want it to happen in this one.
01:57There's only 10 points on the board,
01:59and your rivals are buried behind two Starks
02:02and Mitchell Harrison, who leads the way.
02:05Welcome to World Supercross.
02:07Welcome to the front.
02:08And it might not seem like a name
02:10that we have been focusing on at the top of this show,
02:13but make no mistake,
02:14every single rider on this track
02:16is one of the elite riders in the world.
02:18Mitchell Harrison, no exception.
02:20As Cooper Webb is making his way up through this pack,
02:23followed by Deepwater.
02:25Oh, big mistake by Wilson.
02:26Hill's going to get him.
02:27Wilson rolls the finish line jump.
02:29He's losing multiple spots.
02:30And this all started in dominoes from Cooper Webb's pass.
02:34Webb went up the inside to the Anstey line.
02:363-1 to the inside.
02:37And from that moment on,
02:38Wilson has been all over the place,
02:40and now he's got some ground to make up.
02:43Yeah, and he has not done with his battle with Justin Hill yet.
02:47Oh, Justin Hill.
02:49That's how it goes and gets in the middle of him.
02:51Hill's got a really good run up the inside here.
02:54Very respectful between those two.
02:56Hey, Mitchell Harrison, get some, man.
02:58You're out front leading the World Supercross.
03:01He has no idea what's behind him.
03:03You know why?
03:03Because he can't hear the next two bikes.
03:05But behind that is a Hill-Webb.
03:07Now a Craig battle.
03:08Wilson was in there.
03:09All the heavy hitters.
03:10You've got Anderson way in the back.
03:12This is not what we expected in the opening out of World Supercross.
03:15We are about to hit four laps halfway through this race,
03:18and you can throw a blanket over the top seven almost.
03:22Hill is trying to make his way now into third.
03:25And he's making the moves right now.
03:27The best rider on the track, maybe not the fastest by time,
03:30but the best in moves has been Justin Hill.
03:32He went by Webb.
03:33He goes by Zaragoza.
03:35Now he's got a challenge in Vince Freese as Mitchell Harrison pulls away.
03:38Webb up the inside.
03:39Will he get the move into fourth?
03:41Just enough.
03:42He gets it.
03:42He is the king of shortening the track,
03:45and he is able to find traction on those insides where other guys aren't.
03:49Justin Hill, he's marching to the front.
03:53He's got his biggest challenge right now,
03:55and Vince Freese, one of the gnarliest defensive riders in the sport,
03:59Hill rips by him, swaps left and right.
04:01He don't care.
04:023-1 in the corner.
04:03And if you're Mitchell Harrison right now,
04:05you have no idea what's coming, son.
04:08Here comes Justin Hill.
04:09Get on that bike, Mitchell Harrison,
04:11because Justin Hill is on fire in this opening race.
04:17With that being said, Mitchell Harrison looks great out front.
04:20He looks smooth.
04:21He looks clean.
04:21He looks uninterrupted,
04:23but here comes some interruption as Hill's made his way to second.
04:26Cooper Webb now in fourth.
04:28He got Craig in fifth.
04:29Wilson has recovered in sixth.
04:30I'm watching the leaderboard.
04:31Anderson still sitting in sixth.
04:33He was so far back pulling into the mechanics area.
04:36Now he's up to 15th.
04:37He gets one guy,
04:38but this is a tough break for your defending champ
04:40while the battle rages up front.
04:41And he needs to just think championship, championship, championship right now.
04:46Justin Hill, though,
04:47he has eyes on a first World Supercross win.
04:50We've been saying it all weekend.
04:51You called it even before you saw him turn a wheel.
04:553-1.
04:56He is all over the back of Mitchell Harrison right now.
04:58Looks like Webb has made his way around Vince Freese.
05:01Is he going to stick it as Justin Hill gets right up to the back tire?
05:04He goes to the right.
05:06Whips it off the finish line.
05:07Jump.
05:07Does he cut across it?
05:08Take it?
05:08He does.
05:10Outside line to Justin Hill.
05:12It is time to press send and run away with this thing.
05:15We have two laps to go.
05:17Now it's up to Cooper Webb.
05:18Can he get Mitchell Harrison and keep fighting for this overall?
05:23Hey, you said it.
05:23You can't win the championship at the opening round,
05:26but you can set the tone.
05:27You can make a statement.
05:29And Justin Hill has been doing that since the minute he got here.
05:31But this is some of his best laps of the night.
05:33He takes the lead.
05:34Now he's got the clear track and he can run.
05:36He is out of there like a long-tail cat in a room full of rocking chairs.
05:40This is what we were expecting from Justin Hill after seeing him run.
05:43Christian Craig is making his way around the outside of Vince Freese.
05:47Here comes Webb.
05:49Here's Craig.
05:50Wilson up the inside on Freese.
05:52So now Wilson, Craig, and Webb are in position to run down Mitchell Harrison.
05:58But if Mitchell can hold on, this will be one of the best moments of his Supercross career.
06:03I mean, he's got a three-time American Supercross champion,
06:07a 250 Supercross champ, a 250 Motocross champ behind him,
06:11and he's just feeling it.
06:12He's one of the boys.

06:17We've got plenty more action coming up so you don't want to miss the next heat.
06:21Stay tuned.
06:22Thanks.
06:22This is a breakout ride.
06:24He's got two more chances to do this as the two Quad Lock Honda boys are going at it right
06:29now
06:29for fifth and sixth position.
06:32Hill leads.
06:34Harrison second.
06:36Webb is closing.
06:37Craig and Wilson have sat right behind Webb this entire race just following him through.
06:42Will someone make a move?
06:43They're all kind of in a spot right now.
06:45Here comes Dean Wilson up the inside.
06:46And how many do you want to get?
06:49Oh, he takes the lead, or takes the spot right there from Christian Craig.
06:52That was aggressive, but you could tell that their teammates and they are thinking team championship.
06:57That Quad Lock team has won every one of these, and they do not want to give up that title.
07:02Mitchell Harrison, you've got company again, brother.
07:04One lap to go.
07:05Hills opened it up.
07:07He's got a clean gap to second.
07:09Harrison holding on for dear life as Cooper Webb, one of the best Supercross racers in the world.
07:16Right on him.
07:18Who do you not want to have behind you on the last lap of the Supercross race?
07:21Cooper Webb is the one, but he's there.
07:24But he's been so good this entire race.
07:26Webb is so close now.
07:27Now he can hear him.
07:29Harrison protects his inside just enough.
07:31Webb's going to go up the inside, shorten up that corner.
07:33And if you love an underdog story, you are cheering for Mitchell Harrison.
07:37But Dean Wilson is absolutely sending it to the groups.
07:40Webb up the inside.
07:413-1 to the inside.
07:42Makes the pass, but does he?
07:44Harrison's got it.
07:45Now Webb crosses over.
07:47Watch out for Dean Wilson.
07:49Dean Wilson around the outside.
07:51It's Hill.
07:51It's Webb.
07:52And it's Wilson.
07:53One, two, three.
07:55How did Cooper Webb shut the door just then?
07:58There is no way that he should have not been able to get past right there.
08:02Incredible race craft for Cooper Webb.
08:04And if you're Mitchell Harrison, you lost his spots.
08:06But what a moment.
08:07What a ride.
08:09And he should take some confidence into the rest of the night and the season.
08:12You ran with the boys.
08:15That was an incredible race by Mitchell Harrison.
08:17But hey, what's overshadowed is this guy.
08:20Justin Hill ripped through everybody.
08:23What a race.
08:24What a final corner.
08:25You
