00:00Ele está indo para a frente.
00:02Fregos são up.
00:05O que está indo.
00:07Oh, o Rockets está indo para Chet Tumach.
00:09Ele está indo para a frente.
00:11Deegan está indo para a frente.
00:17Ele está indo para a frente.
00:19Oh, Deegan está indo para a frente.
00:21Ele está indo para a frente.
00:23Deegan e Jett Lawrence, eles não tomaram a parada,
00:26então eles vão sentir isso.
00:26Em atenção para o público.
00:32Ele está indo para a frente.
00:34Ele está indo para o triplo deliga,
00:35ele está indo para o triplo.
00:37Ele está indo para o clube deliga.
00:43Olha a cerca de Hunter.
00:47Ele está indo para lá.
00:49Ele entende que Jett por sozinhos.
00:52Então Jett e ele tem uma sensação de ele.
00:54Esse é o que você vê que Hunter está tentando se torne a ele,
00:59mas ele está tentando se torne a ele, porque o ruse.
01:01É bom ver Eli Tomac na frente.
01:04Eu tenho certeza que o Buzz Creek, eles vão estar cheirando por ele também.
01:09Listen to this.
01:18Deegan leads it, third-hole shot of the year.
01:20Tomac's in the fight.
01:21Prado, fourth, and Jett Lawrence is 17th.
01:24This is Hunter Lawrence's opportunity.
01:26Yeah, you're talking about a rider who's resilient.
01:29I mean, what he went through last weekend,
01:31it's just emotionally, it's a lot, but that's who he is, responds back out here.
01:45Look down at the running order, Jett Lawrence is 17th.
01:49Yeah, yeah, exactly, that's how bad that start was.
01:51Oh, Hunter squares up.
01:53Deegan and shoots by to the lead.
01:55Nice move by Hunter Lawrence,
01:56and maybe that's one of the benefits of him taking that prairie lap.
01:59You would have known that outside was probably a little bit better.
02:02Haight didn't, and the 96 is back up front,
02:05where he's been at most of the time this year.
02:08Now, explain to the other end why, if you're Deegan or Jett Lawrence,
02:11why you would not have taken that sight lap.
02:13Yeah, well, one of the things is,
02:14they have the luxury now being able to watch the broadcast,
02:17so I'm sure they watch that 250 class,
02:19understand that the track's getting better.
02:20They knew they were going to do a little bit of work,
02:22so it's a lot different than what it was.
02:24So, hey, you don't take it, you try to keep the mud off the bike
02:27so that it doesn't get weighed down,
02:28hopefully get a better start, which he was able to do and Jett wasn't.
02:34One lap down, and Hunter Lawrence's mission to get back into the points lead,
02:38doing what he needs to do.
02:40He leads, Jett Lawrence is way back.
02:43Hunter would actually have the points lead right now,
02:45but you know Jett's going to do some work,
02:46and will cover it with this Hearts Unlimited battle box.
02:49He is still in 17th.
02:53I know we've got a long ways to go, but, I mean,
02:56with all this, Hunter has the points lead the way it runs right now,
02:59as you said, it's going to change,
03:00but you've got to love the way these guys love the way Hunter's responding,
03:04and look at Hayden Deegan now understanding where the lines is,
03:07and because the track isn't that rough, and just like that 250 class,
03:11I think the way this track is going to keep these guys closer together.
03:14Hayden Deegan, he's smelling like he wants to put some guys in a danger zone.
03:19This is Jett battling it out with Guillaume, and this is going to be tough.
03:25He's back out of the points.
03:27He's actually back to 22nd place.
03:30He lost five spots.
03:32Yeah, earlier when I said he was in 17th, I know he got a bad start,
03:35but I actually thought he was a little bit farther up,
03:37so I don't know if there was a mistake or if that was generally a bad start,
03:41but for him going backwards now, he must have failed or got caught up somewhere.
03:45Well, remember, he didn't take the sight lap either.
03:48So he had the bad start, and he was probably feeling his way around in traffic.
03:51Yeah, for him, that 10-point lead, he understands that, hey, you know what?
03:54It's a long race. I don't want to throw it away, but sometimes when you do that,
03:58it puts you in these kind of scenarios, and we talk about it every weekend.
04:02This might be a bad track to be on that, but he's going to have to do it.
04:06We got him highlighted here. Jet Lawrence gets in.
04:11Yeah, he was on the inside.
04:13That's where Kitchin was, but he got penalized.
04:15Now, it wasn't nearly as far.
04:18Oh, and then he has a collision.
04:20That's what cost him, a collision in turn one on the very left.
04:23Is that Ferrandez?
04:25Yeah, I'm not sure who that is, and because these guys, that 180,
04:29they did a little bit of work, is very slippery,
04:31so guys are coming out of that corner trying to get on the gas.
04:34the rear and breaks loose, and he ends up catching Jet Lawrence.
04:38But obviously, there was something else that happened,
04:40because when we called it earlier, he was in 17th.
04:43Now he's down to 21st, and Marzalizi almost knocks the champ over.
04:49Jet completes that pass, and that is 20th.
04:58And there's chaos all around right now.
05:01Yeah, that was some chaos right there.
05:02As Vince Freeze goes down, and he gets past JT.
05:06Well, the toughest part of this for Jet Lawrence is,
05:08one, he's not riding like typical Jet Lawrence,
05:10but two, there's really nowhere for him to go.
05:13The track is so unwinded in traffic,
05:15he simply doesn't have other areas to go around,
05:17because if he gets out of the main line,
05:19he gets into that soft, muddy area, and he can't make moves.
05:22So once he clears some of these guys and able to pick up the pace,
05:25maybe he can start to close some of these guys back down.
05:28But right now, the gap between he and the top 10 is really far, guys.
05:33Like, he has lost a ton of time on these first two laps.
05:36Yeah, and you're talking about going back to that 250 class.
05:39That's what I was explaining with Levi.
05:41And imagine not having any goggles.
05:43And the track's a lot better than what it was in that 250 class.
05:45So Jet Lawrence has got a long ways.
05:47But we talked about it today when I was saying,
05:50because of the way this track is, guys, the field separates really quickly.
05:54And what you're seeing is Jet Lawrence, he's running 18th,
05:58but he's 38 seconds behind the leader.
06:01And normally at a normal racetrack, he wouldn't be that near that far back.
06:05But because of Bud's Creek and how difficult it is to pass with the Bud,
06:08he's nine seconds a lap slower than what the leader's pace is.
06:13Bad time to get a rare bad start for the two-time champion.
06:18And now we hear the AMA is looking into Lawrence's start.
06:21He makes a quick move on Chambers.
06:24That'll move him to 17th, which is where he was earlier.
06:28But could there be a penalty coming?
06:30We will stay on top of that.
06:32Hunter Lawrence has pulled clear of Deegan by about three seconds.
06:35Tomac holding strong in third.
06:37Prado and Webb next.
06:39Then Barsha, Plessinger, Marchbanks.
06:41Malcolm Stewart.
06:43Power round out the top ten.
06:47Yeah, he's about 14 seconds behind 10th place here.
06:53So, he's got a long ways to go, but he's got plenty of time to do it.
06:57As you can start to see, there's nobody in front of him.
06:59Rare to be this early in the moto, be at 18th, and there's really nobody in front of you.
07:0417th, excuse me.
07:06And then Hunter Lawrence stretching it.
07:133.7 seconds is the lead over Deegan.
07:18And Hunter, what a rebound.
07:20Remember, he had the heartbreaking Supercross.
07:23Came right back to win the Pro Motocross opener.
07:25Right back up front today.
07:26And this guy's back in the front pack.
07:29The legend, the four-time champion.
07:31It has been a rough return from injury this summer for the Red Bull KTM of Eli Tomac.
07:36But he's in podium spot, and he's not letting Deegan go.
07:38I love what I see from him.
07:40And we saw a little bit of glimpses of Eli Tomac at first moto last weekend at Unadilla.
07:45Been able to run inside the top ten and look solid.
07:48And because the way this track is, I actually think it's going to help a guy like Eli keep Hayden
07:54Deegan.
07:54He sees Hayden Deegan in front of him.
07:56The track's difficult.
07:57It's been over a year since he's been up in his position, and this crowd loves these two.
08:02Hayden Deegan and Eli Tomac running top three.
08:04That was a battle I was afraid we were never going to get to see because Deegan moved up to
08:09the 450s at round one.
08:10And Tomac got hurt in the very first lap of that race.
08:14But it looks like Tomac is getting back toward his old form.
08:17And we might have a battle between a man who's dominated this class for years and the next big graduate
08:24into it.
08:26Yeah, and make no mistake, this guy you're seeing on the screen, you give him a little belief.
08:31He's able to close in on Hayden Deegan, this is Eli Tomac.
08:35He's one of the greatest riders ever in this field, and especially in motocross.
08:39As we're watching Jet Lawrence on the bottom right here, close that gap on those guys.
08:44He's not able to hit this uphill triple.
08:45But now he's starting to see those people in front of them.
08:49And every point from here on out is one point.
08:51Every pass would be one point.
08:55Up to 16th is Jet.
08:58He's going to need to make up nine more positions to get back to a tie with Hunter in the
09:03standings.
09:04Hunter right now would be the point leader by nine.
09:08So Jet's got a lot of work to do.
09:12We're talking about the 250 class going on break.
09:15The question was, would they have these huge point swings?
09:18And it's like the 450 class just inherited that scenario.
09:23You're talking about 25 point difference between the last couple of motors between these guys.
09:2750 almost.
09:28Jet Lawrence makes another pass.
09:30Trying to get around Carroll here.
09:32Rider out of New Jersey.
09:34Rides a Club of X.
09:35Certainly familiar with this track.
09:37This is one of the states nearby.
09:39And Jet is able to clear him around the outside.
09:45And that is 15th for the champion.
09:49He's in a tough spot right now.
09:52Yeah, I think we might have lost Beaton behind it because it looks like he's running 14th on the live
09:57timing.
09:57We saw Yamaha that Jet got by, got stuck on the inside of that corner.
10:02That might have been beaten.
10:03It was actually the Australian national motocross champ coming in here and riding with the Lawrence.
10:08His story of the week while he's in America.
10:10But of course the big story is the brothers battling for this title.
10:14Here's Jet's thoughts on it.
10:18Most of the year it's been me chasing Hunter.
10:20So it's been different, but it's been good.
10:23You know, I don't think I want it any other way.
10:25You know, battling my brother for a championship is pretty awesome.
10:27So, yeah.
10:30Yeah, that has always been their motto.
10:32Yeah.
10:32I mean, I don't know if he has much of a choice.
10:35That's how good the both brothers are.
10:37They're just the best.
10:37But it's not a little wave that Dylan Brandis, Jet gave him.
10:42A thank you note for getting by, Will.
10:45Yeah, you did, James.
10:46Just listening to that sound from Jet there doesn't quite kind of tell the full story of how it is
10:51for these two battling each other.
10:52And they get asked a lot of times, obviously, what's it like battling your brother, racing your brother.
10:57Well, they don't know any different.
10:59This is what they have done their entire lives.
11:01I got to talk to Dazzy, their father, earlier on yesterday.
11:05And he said, look, this is what we've always done.
11:07These boys have been doing this their whole life.
11:09We've basically learned that if we can go one, two, that is a win for both of them.
11:15Because there is only one top set, only one of them can stand on it.
11:19So we can't ever have this massive celebration because there's always somebody getting second.
11:24So they've just adjusted to it.
11:25And this is what they've done their entire racing career.
11:28Yes, it's challenging for all involved.
11:31It's challenging for the team.
11:32It's challenging for their families because they're going up against each other.
11:35But that strong bond that you talked about, you guys, when you talk about their brothers first, that ties them
11:41together.
11:42That's about upbringing, Dazzy said.
11:44That is how we have always been.
11:45That's how we always will be.
11:46You will always be brothers.
11:48And it's just a strong bond that keeps a family together.
11:51They ride as a unit.
11:53Heck, we've seen them jump on each other's bikes, both at home and then on a press day before the
11:59races,
12:00just to try each other's setups.
12:01But right now, they are title rivals.
12:03And Jett is now up to 12th.
12:06Hunter has pulled a four-second lead over Deegan, who's up by three-and-a-half over Tomac.
12:11Lawrence working on Mitchell Harrison here.
12:13Yeah, but, you know, his pace that Jett has, you know, he was 10 seconds down or 12 seconds down
12:19a lap ago
12:20on Malcolm, a little bit farther back than that.
12:23But he's going eight seconds a lap faster than these guys.
12:25So you're talking about somebody who's making a lot of time up, but got to be careful.
12:30Inside of Harrison.
12:31Harrison wants points.
12:32You see, he's on the bubble there to be automatically into the motos at the SMX playoffs.
12:37Battling with Justin Hill, who does not race pro motocross.
12:40So if Harrison can score a few points, that would guarantee him in.
12:43He wouldn't have to race the wildcard races at the playoffs.
12:46So all these riders have goals.
12:49But as we did see Christian Craig take a look over, we saw Ferrandez take a look over.
12:54It's like a few of them are showing respect to the guys that are in the championship fight.
12:57Yeah, absolutely. I mean, it's the same thing with most of the classes.
13:01Except for when you get around teammates, you know, of the other rider, then they might not make it as
13:04easy.
13:04But the cream rises to the top, and you guys understand guys going eight seconds faster than you.
13:10Probably be a little easier.
13:11Got Cooper Webb running top five here.
13:14Good to see the three-time Monster Energy champ out here.
13:20Hey, Coop gets the old vibes, and you go to Bud's Creek.
13:23For a North Carolina native, this is considered a home race.
13:25I saw his mom and dad back in the races.
13:27You don't see that all the time with Coop any longer.
13:30But they got great memories here at Bud's.
13:32So he's running well.
13:33The next battle is this.
13:35Barsha.
13:36The trolley designs Red Bull Ducati and the Monster Energy Kawasaki at Marchbanks.
13:42Marchbanks has been almost an automatic top five a lot of this year.
13:46Barsha's going to try to stop that.
13:50Oakley Racer update.
13:51It is Tomac third.
13:52Barsha there in that sixth.
13:54Miranda's 14th.
13:55Hampshire Bloss Smith.
13:57Round out the field of Oakley back riders.
13:59Nice move by Marchbanks.
14:01Yeah, Garrett's like, look, Justin, that's cool.
14:03But you know, I missed the top five.
14:05So I'm going to need this position.
14:07See if I continue moving forward.
14:09Got Cooper Webb right in front of him.
14:15Yeah, I just can't say enough about the riding of Marchbanks this summer.
14:17He has been rock solid.
14:19Nah, you can tell.
14:20And you can tell also the team's making the bike better.
14:23You know, continuing.
14:25And it takes a lot of hard work from all these guys.
14:27And Garrett's paying it off.
14:29Top fives.
14:29Even Mark Vinnisat.
14:31These guys out here.
14:32Yeah.
14:33Will.
14:35James, talking at Garrett earlier on today, obviously, like you said, the bike's gotten
14:39a lot better.
14:39They've made a ton of progress.
14:41So I said, what's been the biggest difference maker?
14:44What has made this season a success that it has been?
14:47And he pointed to a new relationship that he has with sports psychologists.
14:51He's been working with these sessions earlier on in the year.
14:55He said he's always kind of had this problem of sort of like high nerves and anxiety on race
14:59day.
15:00And the biggest thing was just saying, hey, I know I've got to try and fix this part of
15:04it.
15:04Because it's not something that's massively talked about, James, through this sport.
15:08But Garrett's saying that it has made that much difference to him.
15:11That he feels like a different athlete on race day now.
15:15And he said that, obviously, along with all the work that the team would be putting in
15:18has just led to those top fives that you talked about.
15:22Nah, that's good to see.
15:24I mean, it just shows you at this level, you've got to work on all parts of your body.
15:28And the hard part is, I mean, all these guys are talented.
15:31And it really does come down to mentality and how you think.
15:34And Garrett's, whatever he's doing is working.
15:37Glad to see the team has success as he has success moving around Cooper Webb from fourth position.
15:43Well, there it is.
15:44Fifth place for March Banks.
15:46Like I said, you can almost snap it before the moto begins.
15:49He'll find a way to get there.
15:50So he's around and made quick work of Webb there.
15:54We're halfway through this moto.
15:57A reminder, halfway, Mark.
15:58And you can stock up on Monster Energy at 7-Eleven.
16:02Who's this guy?
16:03Who's this guy that just passed it right here?
16:05His brother, my brother out here.
16:08That's Malcolm.
16:09Again, another rider Malcolm understands.
16:11Jets in the championship just makes it a little easier on him.
16:15And, you know, again, I think if Malcolm or any of these guys are up to pace,
16:18then it might be they won't make it so easy.
16:21But when you know a guy's coming up that fast, he's moving forward.
16:25All you can do is try to get on that tail and just don't want to get in the way
16:27at this moment.
16:29And look, I just feel bad for Malcolm who says these mud races.
16:32Does a number on the hair.
16:34And a lot of work at the end of the day here.
16:36This is a concern in these mud races.
16:39Although, I got to say, not as bad as you would have thought for how much rain we had earlier.
16:44To watch Hunter Lawrence work his way through lap traffic.
16:47But Hayden Deegan has taken that gap down to just 1.4 seconds.
16:53Yeah, I'm thinking Hunter has gotten caught up.
16:55Because I was looking at the lap times and Hayden was about a second and a half a lap ago.
17:00Then it went out to three.
17:02But you can see why.
17:04Hunter's getting caught up with these lap riders.
17:05And it's easier for the guy in second place if you catch him in the right spot.
17:09As they take a look over, they'll understand Hunter's there.
17:12They'll take another look and see Hayden.
17:14And he'll continue moving over.
17:16So, I don't know if he got through him.
17:18But Hayden Deegan, let's see if he gets through him as well.
17:21There you go.
17:22Well, Hayden's hustling right now.
17:23Got the double.
17:29We had a battle for the lead.
17:31Oh, Deegan almost got taken down by that lap rider.
17:36So, the story right now, of course, Hunter tried to make up for the error last week.
17:41We asked him about this season and those ups and downs yesterday.
17:49I don't know if you'd say lessons.
17:51There's things I still don't understand 100%.
17:54I feel like my kind of things that I could improve on is, I mean, what I feel like a
18:01really small mistakes have seemed to be the most costly for me, which is a bit of a bummer given
18:08the mistakes, in my opinion, not being necessarily massive errors on my side of things riding side.
18:16But the consequences have been drastic, honestly.
18:20So, yeah, that's about it.
18:22But just probably put it behind me, learn to get up, shake it off, look forward and not think about
18:30it in the past and just kind of carry on.
18:32So, that's probably what I'd take into playoffs.
18:36Yeah, that's a tough position for Hunter to be in because he hasn't really made, it's easier if you make,
18:45let's say you just make a mistake.
18:46Oh, it's just going too fast and all this, but kind of his crashes this year have been so costly.
18:51There are things that can happen 10 times a lap, you know, essentially.
18:55And for him, they cost him a lot.
18:58You see that radiated strowel on the left-hand side of the motorcycle is hanging off.
19:03I don't know if he got caught up with something, but hopefully for him, he's not catching his boot as
19:08he throws his foot out there, really slowing him down.
19:10But I tell you one thing, Hayden Deegan, he is feeling it right now.
19:14Yeah, he's not slowing down, although he almost has to run, almost ran into the back of the lap rider,
19:18JT, 38 on the move.
19:20He is really coming, guys, and this is probably the closest he's been.
19:24I don't have the stats in front of me, but this late Minamoto, this is the closest and most relevant
19:28he has been all season.
19:29And I wonder if this track would be a big part of that.
19:32When you look at Bud's Creek and what a reward.
19:34You can be hyper-aggressive on this track.
19:37You see Hayden maybe overriding the situation, but that's what he wants to do.
19:40He wants to ride as hard as the track will allow you to.
19:44A track like Unigila won't let you get away with that type of thing.
19:48It will punish that.
19:49Bud's Creek rewards it, and I think that's why you're seeing Hayden able to fight this late in the moto
19:54compared to last week.
19:55Yeah, absolutely, JT.
19:56I agree, and I think the fact that the track's wet and it's not that rough, there's a certain pace
20:02that you can run here.
20:03And Hayden, clearly, he's feeling good today.
20:06He's looked good.
20:06He's the fastest qualifier.
20:08And he said earlier, like, he's not in a championship, so he's riding really loose.
20:12You're seeing the improvements, but also you're seeing a guy who smells the opportunity.
20:17And these fans here at Bud's Creek can be behind at 38.
20:20See if he can do something with them.
20:31Down to the final third of this one.
20:34Ten minutes and two laps to go.
20:35Deegan looking forward.
20:38Wants a piece of Hunter Lawrence.
20:43And he is slinging some mud right now.
20:46And more lap traffic.
20:48Back to Jett Lawrence.
20:50Has he caught Harrop?
20:51Yes, he went seven seconds faster than Harrop last time around to catch the rider in ninth.
20:59Yeah, that's crazy, like, seven seconds just to get ninth, you know, at this point.
21:04He's going that much faster, and that just shows you how spread out the leaders are.
21:09He needs to make three more passes to get back for a tie for the point lead.
21:16And he's working on Harrop.
21:17The rider out of Denmark.
21:22On the triumph.
21:23That's the battle in the bottom box.
21:24Hunter and Deegan.
21:26Deegan just cleared the locked traffic, and he has him in his sights.
21:29Yeah, that gap is close now.
21:32It looks like Hunter has a little bit of freedom in front of him.
21:35You know, about five, six seconds for another lap rider.
21:38So you're going to find out, is eight faster, or was Hunter getting caught up as Jett Lawrence makes that
21:43pass for ninth place?
21:44Let's see if Hunter pulls away, but all three riders riding really good.
21:50Shout out to Eli Tomek.
21:52He's running four if he got passed by Jorge.
21:54He was just ahead of him, so still top five for the champ, but this is the battle with eight
21:58minutes left.
21:59The young Kate Deegan versus Hunter Lawrence.
22:04Bad luck for Tomek.
22:05That's where he got passed.
22:06I'm sure if there was an error, but he was in third, but ran a 2-13.
22:12Where the lead group here, 2-0-3s for Lawrence and Deegan.
22:16So I'd imagine a mistake for Tomek.
22:18He has lost a toe.
22:20Deegan hasn't.
22:22He's going all out.
22:25Yeah, you can see Hunter starting to stretch that gap out a little bit.
22:28And really kind of wondering about that radiator shroud, JT.
22:33Yeah, I wonder if it's maybe just taking his eye off the ball a little bit.
22:36You know, Hayden drops back a little bit.
22:38He's been making up a lot of time at the bottom of Henry Hill here.
22:41He's been going to this inside, and Hunter's been going outside.
22:44You'll see him close back up every single lap.
22:46He's probably making up at least half a second there.
22:49And it's those little sections of the racetrack that are keeping him in this thing.
22:52Not sure if Hunter's going to figure those out, but it's been a huge factor thus far.
22:56Well, he figured something out because he pulled a gap.
23:00And kind of going back to my point, you know, Hayden's riding really good.
23:03But you were starting to wonder, was that Hunter?
23:05You know, he's got a better pace than Hunter?
23:08Or is Hunter getting caught up in lap riders where you kind of see that a little bit
23:11as Hayden's making a little bit of mistakes.
23:13And you're starting to see that bike smoke a little bit.
23:15So I'm sure the mechanic can tell him, easy, young buck.
23:18Easy, get off that clutch a little bit as the bike's starting to heat up.
23:21But he ain't gonna listen.
23:23Yeah.
23:23He ain't gonna listen.
23:24I'm sure they've told him that many, many times.
23:26He rides that bike hard.
23:33Whoa!
23:35Hey, that was beautiful.
23:36What you talking about, Willis?
23:37Not there.
23:38You won't even remember that.
23:39Looks like he planned it that way.
23:40Ah, he planned it.
23:41He's looking good.
23:42I like some of these ruts.
23:43He's really just throwing it in some of these corners.
23:47You can tell he's holding on to the bike.
23:48Because look at the plastic.
23:51Hanging off the side.
23:53That's hanging off the side right there.
23:55Yeah.
23:55Over every jump.
23:59Look at this.
24:00A couple more positions made up.
24:03Gent Lawrence has passed Plessinger.
24:04I said he needed to get three to get back to a tie for the lead.
24:08Harapin Plessinger.
24:09He would now be down one in the championship.
24:13Next on his list would be Barsha.
24:15He's about five seconds ahead.
24:20Yeah, Jet really has an opportunity.
24:23Probably to get up to maybe sixth place Cooper Webb.
24:30Well, if Jet Lawrence wants points.
24:31Here's a phrase you didn't think you'd hear.
24:34Hayden Deegan could be his best friend right now.
24:36Go ahead after Hunter.
24:38That would be three points to the good for Jet.
24:41I still don't know if Jet would root for that.
24:44But Deegan's trying.
24:46That would be some really family dynamics.
24:50Do you want those three points?
24:51That much?
24:52Yeah, it would be questionable.
24:54But, you know, hey, if it ends like this.
24:57That moto last week kind of gets erased.
24:59Yeah.
25:00Hey, it's knocking over the salt takers.
25:03Knock the kitchen countertop.
25:06Everything between brothers.
25:07Because it's going to be winner take all.
25:09With three races left.
25:10I saw a mom, Emma, is here this weekend.
25:12She'll be here at Ironman as well.
25:14It's going to come down a wire between the Lawrences.
25:18Five minutes and two laps to go.
25:20It looks like Lawrence has, Hunter at least, has survived that storm.
25:26What are you seeing down there in the mechanics area, Will?
25:30Just looking at Brent Duffy, mechanic for Hayden Deegan, his pit board on that last lap.
25:35That last go around there.
25:36And he was telling him to get off the clutch.
25:38He said the bike is hot.
25:40I don't know what you guys are seeing, but that's coming from the mechanic.
25:43Oh, we saw it.
25:44Steam was coming out and it has stopped.
25:47Oh, as I say that it comes back.
25:53So Deegan got it back to three seconds down on Hunter Lawrence.
25:58We now have an update on the Chet Lawrence penalty on the start.
26:01It is going to be one license point.
26:03That is not a position penalty, but one on his racing license that could result in a penalty if you
26:10score enough license points as the year goes on.
26:13Let's bring on Mike Pelletier, the racing director from the AMA.
26:17Mike, talk about this decision here to just do a license point penalty for Chet Lawrence with this start.
26:21Yeah, guys, thanks for having me.
26:23And I think it's important to explain the difference from the first moto in the 250 that we saw Levi
26:27and Moseman do compared to what Jet did.
26:30So any time a rider is off the racetrack, race direction looks like they've gained a competitive advantage.
26:35That's the first thing that we determined.
26:37So in Levi's case and Michael Moseman's, they gained time and positions on the side of the racetrack.
26:43So that is a set penalty of positions gained, then plus one for the infraction itself.
26:48In Jet's case, we determined that there was no competitive advantage, any lost time and spots.
26:54However, we do want the riders to stay on the racetrack.
26:56So we issued a one license point penalty.
26:59I got you, Mike.
27:00That makes sense.
27:01Yeah, I was curious on that.
27:02And so essentially, if you end up, there's some kind of penalty if you end up outside of those markers,
27:09correct?
27:10That is correct.
27:11We really want the riders to stay on the racetrack.
27:13We've made a big effort for this year, especially using these license points now.
27:16So what we're really looking for is if they're gaining time or positions off that racetrack.
27:20If not, we still do want them to stay on.
27:22That's why we have license points now.
27:23All right. Thank you, Mike.
27:24We got to get back to this battle.
27:26Appreciate the time.
27:27This is Justin Barsha trying to hold Jet Lawrence off.
27:31And one more point would put Lawrence into a tie with Lawrence.
27:36Hunter and Jet for the lead.
27:37So Jet's hustling.
27:38Yeah, I think he actually is because we lost Mark Banks.
27:41Look at Gary.
27:43He's down at 10.
27:43So Jet.
27:45Yeah, they're even right now.
27:46Yeah, the points.
27:48Well, that's what I get for saying you could just stamp March Banks in the top five.
27:53Been jinxing riders all day.
27:55Also, Barsha, maybe not surprising.
27:57He's fighting for it.
27:59And he's fighting a lot.
28:00They fight to hang on their feet off.
28:02But that's what he does.
28:04Being comfortable.
28:05Being uncomfortable.
28:07You can see Justin out here.
28:12And there was only a few seconds to start this lap behind Cooper Webb.
28:16But these mistakes and lap riders, you don't even see Cooper Webb in the shot.
28:20So they've lost a little bit of time.
28:22So Jet probably going to try to get around Justin if he wants to have a shot at getting around
28:26Cooper Webb.
28:27But the pace he's been running, you still have a shot if you can move number 51 on the Ducati
28:33out there.
28:35Yeah, a couple riders looking over, even waving Jet by.
28:38You're not going to get that from the 51.
28:42Fighting sixth.
28:44Webb fifth.
28:45That would actually be Webb's first top five motor finish of the year.
28:49It was close to it at Southwick.
28:50And might have it now.
28:53With a minute and two laps to go.
28:55Gap is about the same up front.
28:58Hunter Lawrence and Deegan.
28:59Prado is third.
29:01Then Tomac, Webb, and these two.
29:04Now going back to my point earlier when you saw my brother wave Jet by.
29:08And I said, well, yeah, the difference in speed, you know, you'll get guys doing that.
29:12But as you get closer to the front or whatnot, the guy's running the same speed as Jet,
29:16you might not make it as easy.
29:18No.
29:19Marsh is not going to make it easy.
29:21Fighting Lawrence.
29:22And repasses him at the bottom of the hill.
29:24What did you say?
29:25Correct.
29:25Well, I mean, Justin's a special case out there.
29:28But he's running a good, you know, pace.
29:30And top five's right in front of him.
29:32So, you know, I don't think Justin's going to do anything ridiculous.
29:35But at the same time, he is kind of running Jet's pace.
29:39Now there, this is where I was saying, like, he's not going to, he could have ran Jet off in
29:44that thing.
29:44But, you know, hey, he understands that championship.
29:47He's not going to make it easy for him.
29:49But he ain't going to do anything because of how close they are running.
29:53And with that pass, Jet Lawrence would now have the championship lead by one.
29:59Is there time to get this number two of Webb?
30:05It's going to be two to go.
30:07I mean, Cooper's right in front of him.
30:10He's probably going to feel the roost off of him in a while.
30:14So, as a shot, he's got to get through these lap riders.
30:17The question is, will he be able to move up even farther if he's able to get around Cooper Webb
30:22for fifth place?
30:23Eli, about 15 seconds farther than that in front of these guys.
30:28Yeah, that would be tough to get any further.
30:31But he's got a shot at Webb.
30:38Actually, by the time that clock expired, Hunter Lawrence had already gone by.
30:45So, it's going to be two to go the next time around.
30:49That's going to give Jet Lawrence one more lap to work with.
30:53Yeah, but the hard part is him and Eli are basically running the same lap.
30:57Oh, Webb's off the track.
30:58This is going to help Jet.
31:00And he goes by.
31:01I love how Cooper took his time right there.
31:04He was off the racetrack.
31:06You should have taken your time.
31:08You should not, because here comes Barsha.
31:10Yeah, no penalty there.
31:12I'm not gassing this.
31:13If I could put it in reverse, I would.
31:15But I can't do it.
31:16The penalty could be because he's going to battle Bam Bam now.
31:20And we'll know he'll fight for it.
31:23That is going to be for six now.
31:24So, Jet Lawrence has done it.
31:25He's come from about 22nd to 5th.
31:31But it is going to be winner takes it at this point.
31:34Two-point lead.
31:34It would be for Jet with three motos to go.
31:36That can go any direction.
31:38Check back in with Deegan here.
31:42Yeah, I was looking at the time, and I thought we were just talking three laps to go.
31:46But it is two.
31:46I'm like, something's wrong.
31:47But that just shows you how far these guys out front, JT.
31:50You nailed it there, James.
31:52Look at the pace that they put in.
31:53They put 51 seconds into Jorge Prado, who was in this fight.
31:57He was in the fight to try to win this race a week ago.
32:00This shows you how hard those top two have been pushing.
32:03We haven't been focused on them the entire time.
32:05But they have been still dropping their lap times lap after lap.
32:08Yeah, these two are 51 seconds ahead of Jorge Prado, JT.
32:13You're right.
32:14But, hey, he's in the top three.
32:16Still a good ride by these guys.
32:21So this is Deegan's rookie year.
32:23Still doesn't have the bow to win.
32:24Thought he might have an opportunity at it here.
32:26Checked in with Deegan on that rookie year and how he feels about it yesterday.
32:34Yeah, I'd say I'm pretty stoked.
32:36Obviously, there's things I need to work on.
32:38But even just this podium streak I got going, the amount of podiums I've gotten this season,
32:41I'm stoked on it.
32:42I'm going against a lot of good guys.
32:43So, obviously, you guys all know what my goal is.
32:46I want to win.
32:47So, it's going to take a little to get to that point.
32:49I'm working towards it.
32:50I'm working with the team.
32:51The team wants to win just as bad as me.
32:53So, they're trying their hardest as well, getting the bike ready.
32:55And I'm also new to this.
32:57I'm new to the 450.
32:58So, some of my impact may not be good and some of it is good.
33:01So, it's taking a little bit of time.
33:05Yeah, when you look at the results, I'm sure Hayden wanted more.
33:08But I also think he understood and he saw the level and he'll eventually get there.
33:14But he also understands, too, that you've got to have a motorcycle underneath.
33:18You've got to work as a team.
33:19There's a lot more things besides just talent coming out here, which Hayden has it.
33:23And that's what you're seeing.
33:24So, he's gotten better throughout the year.
33:26And it's only going to help him continue to build for the future and eventually get one of these wins.
33:32He put it on himself last week.
33:33Tried something pretty wild.
33:35The bike didn't work.
33:35But he said, that's on me.
33:37Better today.

34:07Hunter Lawrence, who talks so much about his demeanor.
34:12This is twice this year that he's had heartbreaking moments and has been able to bounce back that Supercross finale.
34:18That was obviously a crusher when he crashed battling.
34:21Ken Rockson lost that title.
34:23A couple of weeks later, back to win the Pro Moto Cross Opener.
34:25Bouncing back from Unadilla with what would be a huge first Moto win.
34:30I'm kind of shocked a little bit.
34:33I wouldn't say shocked, but just so impressed with this guy out here going through the things.
34:38And I almost don't really want to say much.
34:40I want to get across the checkered flag.
34:42But I'm so impressed by what he's able to do just mentally.
34:45It is so hard to overcome once what he went through this year in the Supercross season.
34:51And he stood there and he took it like a champ.
34:53Came out, won the next race at Paula.
34:56And then to go through it again and then come out and possibly win the next single race.
35:02Had pressure from Peyton Deegan.
35:05And what can you say about the 90s?
35:07He is back in his championship with his brother.
35:09And truthfully, probably Jet.
35:11You know, he doesn't want to lose, but he's probably happy too.
35:14Because now they can really just go out there and race.
35:16And not worry about what just happened a week ago.
35:19It's going to be nearly even up.
35:21Hunter Lawrence erasing eight points of his ten point deficit in the series in this Moto alone.
35:30And a clutch ride for sure.
35:33Hunter Lawrence takes the first Moto at Buds Creek.
35:36That's a big one.
35:39Deegan across in second.
35:42Got off the clutch a little bit.
35:45Shout out to Cooper Webb.
35:47Yeah, keep it in sight.
35:49Got to thank Justin Barksman for that one.
35:52Yeah, he couldn't go any further back.
35:54Didn't want to go into the clutches.
35:57Well, you almost never see bad starts from Jet Lawrence.
35:59This is the worst case scenario for that on a muddy and one line track.
36:05And last year he had a Moto where everybody went down, came from 18th to 1st.
36:10And it didn't even take that long.
36:11This time it took the whole Moto to go from about 18th to 5th.
36:17Really good ride by Jet Lawrence.
36:19And, you know, he probably in the back of his mind, got to thank even Levi Kitchen from what happened.
36:26What I mean by, because he, that start, he goes on the grass.
36:29Maybe if Levi didn't get the penalty, he didn't see that.
36:33Maybe with gas, he really shut it down because he understood what just happened.
36:37So, I don't know.
36:38Maybe he doesn't know.
36:39Jorge Prada ends up third place.
36:40Eli's going to come through in fourth.
36:42Great ride by Eli.
36:44And you got our chance.
36:45Thank you.
