00:00And that's the risk Levi kitchen is taking by not running the sight lap
00:06Ready for SMX and pro motocross moto to weather delay in the 250 class
00:12It is now over the riders including Hayden Deegan there on the 38 are ready to go for their final race of the day
00:18Deegan was third in the first moto Tom VL second and Levi kitchen with the win will take
00:25Results of that one and combined with this one for the overall we're gonna go around the burn with some stories James
00:30Well, hey Deegan, you're looking at a red plate your points leader been dominant all year long first moto
00:36Had a little off last couple races, but hey get off this gate show these guys that hey, you're number one
00:41But if not, just don't lose too many points do your thing. That's why you build that points lead. Hey Deegan
00:47Well for Joe Shimoda, he's back on form
00:50This is the type of form that everybody's been looking from him at the beginning of championship season now that you've got it
00:56You've got to make the most of it. You've got a real off-motor wins
00:58You've got to put these overalls together to make this a successful season
01:02So I think the most important aspect of his race is the first lap position yourself well, and the rest will take care of itself
01:10Talk of consistency for the number 48 Honda HRC's chance. I'm us coming into today
01:17Consistency has been honestly a secret weapon, but a fifth there in moto one is not what we expect
01:23Yeah, I have not really got an answer out of the team as to why they think he wasn't quite on it
01:28There's no doubt. He's gonna be wanting to turn it around
01:32Fly racing 30 second card is up for Levi kitchen. It's all about this start
01:37He chose not to take a sight lap to keep his bike clean and light
01:42He won't know exactly how the track has turned out with the rain
01:46But his machine has
01:48Zero grams ounces or pounds of mud on it. We'll see if that pays off for the first moto winner here. We go
01:58Gets down
02:03Kids it got pulled off the start
02:05Dig it looks good. Oh he tangled. I believe with Hymus
02:10Tough that's not what you wanted to do which open that inside out for hate
02:15Levi kitchen to sneak up but chance Hymas, but this is oh
02:19Now we've got chaos down there. There's Degan on the left getting going Shimoda's in it
02:24Shimoda, there's a Kawasaki. Is that masterful?
02:28Is that masterful?
02:31Yeah, I think so it gets go down to JT
02:33Well Hayden Deegan was good he and Hymas came together in that first corner was right in front of me now
02:38I got up everything's fine. The problem is he's got a broken exhaust
02:41He had to actually kick it back into place
02:43So even if he can move forward you got to wonder what that exhaust is gonna do to the rest of this race
02:47Yeah, and that can affect the power output of the bike for sure. It's not the reliability
02:52It's not the way the bike is designed to run
02:54kitchen
02:57We got to see yeah, I think he took advantage of that but it is that Cochran out front
03:01That's Casey Cochran out front he's able to get around and let's Levi's pulled away from him already Jax Bennett a good start
03:09Hymas is in the mechanics area. We now hear
03:13But Hymas had the lead now. We see master pool getting up
03:17I'm gonna use the word again chaos on this first lap. Hymas had the lead and now we hear he's in the mechanics area
03:24Masterpool is getting going Deegan getting going and Hymas is out of the moto and that was the rider
03:30Second in the championship when the day began Wow Wow, I don't and he's rolling right by us
03:37We actually see him out of our booth. I think he's hurt. It looks like he's hurt
03:43Yeah, Hymas actually went right over toward the Alpine Stars medic trailer
03:47We can actually see that out our window and he is holding the knee
03:51Meanwhile Casey Cochran the rookie who has been getting better and better with each moto
03:56It's right where you want to be in a muddy race out front
04:00And great great story for this kid. He's been getting better all year now. He's actually leading some laps
04:05He got his first pole qualifying at our second race
04:09Now being a rookie you're about to find out what it's like to be out here
04:13first lap led by Casey Cochran
04:16Yeah, I now see that the Hymas has managed to get off the motorcycle, but he is definitely struggling with the leg. I would think
04:23Cochran pulling away Dax Bennett who has not had a good start all year until the second moto last week and
04:30Finished eighth his best of the year is running second
04:33Then it is VL and this overall is all sorts of mixed up
04:37It would be VL with the overall win and the position is in looks like we lost kitchen as well. He was
04:44so
04:45Hey Deegan, he goes in chance. I leans on him. Maybe caught his foot. That's what it was
04:50You could tell he picked the leg up
04:51yeah, so I think his foot got caught in Haiti against front wheel and they ripped his leg and oh
04:58Man, that's that's tough. We don't know if he had a knee injury
05:01Well, you already had a knee injury. So yeah, I'm not sure if it's that right leg
05:05But definitely he was in there leaned in on Hayden and that's what stopped Hayden's momentum. He went down
05:10Oh, but his foot got caught in that will and oh, man, that's a tough break and a 39 Pierce Brown down
05:17Masterful we already saw down in the green and what happened to kitchen now Joe Shimoda is in the pit
05:25This is mud race this is why every chaos and and if you're hey Deegan
05:31you just went down in the first corner, but then the guy in second out in the points and
05:37Yeah, long race Tom Bial's in a great spot at the moment and third. He's got two young guys in front of him
05:43So he's probably got the experience on him and he's probably the most comfortable in this but although I say that
05:48the number of 166 Casey Cochran's
05:51He's getting look for our business right now for second lead for Cochran
05:56Here he is on the Rockstar Husk Barnum and it has been building
06:00top ten last four motos
06:03As you watch his Thor battle box
06:06Deegan is in the bottom box Deegan on timing and scoring his 19th. Yeah, so already up to a points paying position
06:12That's a great. I mean, he's already passed probably 15 guys and some guys were a lot of guys were down in that first corner
06:18So hey Deegan, it's a long race. I'm sure it's mechanics gonna tell him just slowly stack those chip
06:23But yeah, good recovery tough break by everyone will
06:28I'm down here right now with the Yamaha star racing team
06:31There's been like back and forth as to whether they call Deegan in or not because they said his exhaust is broken
06:36They have another one here and they were getting ready in order to change it out for him
06:40But now word has come from the team to his mechanic Brent Duffy basically saying no keep him out there
06:47I said, can this exhaust hold up? Can it sustain? They don't know so this is a bit of a gamble guys
06:54Thanks will yeah, and I was actually when he was saying that I was thinking about sound check because sometimes they do sound checks
07:00And you will fail so maybe a may has a rule if you have that
07:03But that's why I was thinking maybe you would have him pull in because at this point he's going pretty fast
07:08So you wouldn't think you would be worried about that unless you know, the bikes not gonna make it. So
07:13Yes, teammate Jordan Smith didn't lose championship points at Southwick because he failed post race sound check
07:19Oh here is VL covered in mud on the outside making the move on Dax Bennett for second. No Bennett fights back
07:26Oh and VL going for a ride and down in the mud
07:30Yeah, he had to pass you had to pass on Dax went too wide almost ran off the track Levi kitchen
07:36I believe was in that pack and went by that would be the overall right there. Yeah now look at that bike
07:43Got his hands, buddy
07:45That's the worst case. He put his hands right in that mud
07:47Yeah, like soon that they kick back the other way. He was already preparing to get off ship. So oh
07:54So now VL having problems who hasn't had problems
07:57So yes kitchen would be launched back into the overall win and boy
08:02Would that be big for him because he's actually never won an overall in pro moto across before let's check out the VL crash
08:09Yeah
08:10so he made the pass on
08:11Daxton and it gets in here and I think he just
08:13Hits a pothole because some of this stuff got filled in the black starts kicking sideways and with that mud
08:18It just starts sliding on him and he goes down
08:21JT
08:23Well, you think about what Max and Steve told us right before he went to the line for this moto
08:27You see Joe Shimoda pulling into the mechanics are with more bike issues
08:31Max said he said sometimes it goes your way in the mud and sometimes it didn't I don't think there's ever been a statement more
08:38True for how this moto is gone. And by the way, Max Anstey is sitting in fifth place as he said
08:44Worked out for him JT. So they are changing out the front wheel for Shimoda
08:50And you got to wonder did that that front will get bent because that'd be the only reason why you would want to change it
08:55The front wheel got bent or maybe it's a break
08:58Break this got it because he must be feeling something to go back out there and then come back in and they have to change
09:04It it's a lot of time loss. Look at Casey Cochran go a second lead right now for the 17 year old
09:11Yeah, we don't know like maybe he was a good mud rider as a as an amateur
09:15So we talked about Max Anstey and feeling really comfortable in the mud Casey Cochran. We know he's got the speed
09:21He's been getting better. This is helping this kid out this rookie to lead these laps
09:25Cochran and
09:28To further improve his chances of this kitchen doesn't need the moto win for the overall
09:32So we'll see how deep kitchens willing to go to go after him Benik is second for Benik
09:39He's trying to get his season going with some strong results now be Alice in the mechanics area
09:45Yeah that crash. He must have got mud on this is goggles something
09:50We can't keep up with it. So we're falling behind
09:53Well, the real question James is going to be Deacon was 12th and
09:57We'll see now that the Alice pulled in who will be ahead of who when they get back on the track. It's four points
10:03What Deacon's ahead of him? Oh, wow. He's going right now. Yep 11th and 14th
10:09so
10:10Incredibly Hayden Deacon down in turn one. It's now looking at the riders second and third of the championship
10:15He's ahead of the boat. Hi, this is out
10:18And Shimoda's back and the owls back and then points and win points
10:22Yep, kitchen would have the overall and Cochran to be on the overall podium. That can't be third
10:29It doesn't need the tea today
10:31Disney tickets on the ground found him kitchen has gotten around finish
10:36That was nice. Yeah
10:38Levi was in a a couple laps ago and he made a pass all the way up into third place now
10:44he's coming and
10:45Shimoda about to get back in
10:48man, the roller coaster of this sport Honda one two in the second moto last week and
10:54Hyman's out of this one and Shimoda way back just seven days later as you watch kitchen rolling the overall leader
11:02He'd be looking at
11:041-2 scores more than enough to win the overall on a chaotic day like this. Yeah
11:09This tracks gonna get faster. These guys gonna get more conthwag
11:12As you see Levi he's scrubbing so clearly he he didn't need no parade lap jumping around
11:17It's gonna dry out more to get a better line. So maybe you can go out there Casey
11:23Well, what are you hearing on the 30
11:25Big disc is what I got told there. So it wasn't so much the wheel rim as it was that obviously what's going on
11:30But you know as James was suggesting that that was the problem
11:32Um, they get they took some time over that guys and you can see the frustration there in Joe Bob see they have it back out
11:38Bench front brake disc for Shimoda. He's in 39th with his teammate
11:43Hyman's credited in 40th last after going out of this race early
11:48Levi kitchen Wow way to rebound after some struggles earlier in the year in position to win today
12:08So as you watch kitchen here James look
12:10I know what race is now going to be defined by the mud race and the problems for others
12:13But we don't want to take away for the fact that
12:15This is a much better Levi kitchen that we've seen the last couple of weeks photo one included
12:20Yeah, absolutely, and he's trying but I'm gonna go ahead and give a shout out to case coffee
12:25Because that okay, he's rolling we seen Levi scrubbing and doing this thing and he started catching Casey and in case he pulled back
12:33Out so he's doing a great job, but Levi's in a great spot will
12:37I told you about Levi kitchen and the bike changes that have been made obviously a big shift for him going to the
12:43Pro-circuit Kawasaki team here this year
12:45So he's figuring it out here for pro motocross James, but when I spoke to the team and Mitch Peyton their team
12:51Team owner he was saying to me that kind of it was just too soft
12:55Everything was just too soft at the beginning and they said the mistakes that they made
12:59Perhaps have seen the not very good results out of Levi living up to leading up to here today
13:03Is the fact that they said they sort of made big jumps to stiffen that up and they have to sort of rewind that a
13:08Little bit and just kind of gently introduce it. I mean for some riders James
13:13I'm sure the difference there. They're a little bit more sensitive to it than others, but trying to find that sweet spot
13:19And that's a great point and this is this Levi's first time on this monster Kawasaki outdoors
13:24So they are in the learning process
13:26I think we're so used to how the supercross season went we kind of expected the same thing in outdoors
13:34I'm watching Levi kitchen here pro motocross wild day
13:39Trying to get his first overall win ever and obviously then the first of the year we catch back up with the championship leader
13:46Hayden Deegan who's up to 10th after going down in turn one Thor gives you the monster energy
13:51Yamaha start racing running order his teammate Dax Bennett third
13:55He can the first ever moto podium for him if he holds on max and see a great run in fifth
14:01Romano 11th Jordan Smith who was I believe also down in that first turn crash is
14:0714th so much better day for the monster Yamaha star squad as for Deegan
14:13It has become a points day not the way he would have trotted up with the first turn crash
14:17But it's still working in his favor. No, definitely not
14:20I mean he's actually goes down our first corner
14:22He might end up gaining points on these guys by the end of the moto
14:25And if he makes another position and max phase where he's at he's going to end up on the podium
14:29So yeah, Hayden when things are rolling just keep it going. That's why you just never give up. He was able to do that and
14:37Put yourself in these positions to have these results
14:40Now as for Hymas who was second to the championship coming in
14:43Hymas Taurus ACL last year had six months off to recover after surgery and then tore it again right before supercross this year
14:51I talked to him about it yesterday said it really hadn't been bothering him much
14:55But something happened to the knee in this first turn incident not sure if it's aggravated that or not
15:00But that is why he's out. We actually saw him head to the medic trailer right next to us
15:04Yeah, and it's tougher. I knew he had a knee injury. I just wasn't sure which leg it was and we yeah, exactly
15:11Or what's hurt now what's hurt, but then you can't saw him come back, but tough position for him
15:16I
15:18Man I'm so impressed with this this kid right now. It takes a look back sees Levi is 7.1 seconds behind him
15:25There's the gap
15:27And we're still done at the halfway point of the moto. So Levi's got time to run him down
15:31Yeah, and then Dax Bennett
15:34So finally Bennett gets a good start at our last race at red button finishes eighth of the moto and he said
15:41Honestly, it was easier to run with those guys
15:44The battles 12th on back were gnarlier where you're just got so many guys surrounding you he felt the motor was easier finishing eight
15:51Then it was finishing
15:5312 Dylan Schwartz has made the move on him. Yeah, I think we lost that. Oh, no, that's Anstey. Yeah, you're right
16:00No bet no betting. He's in third now and sees into four. So that puts max
16:07Until yeah, he's still in third in the points and now
16:10You got Swartz it's in fourth and Schwartz was 10th at moto 1
16:14He's been hovering around top 10 most of the motos this year looking to put the Suzuki on the moto podium
16:20Shout out to the Toyota of Redlands bar X Suzuki team
16:24Which does get support from Suzuki, but not a traditional factory works parts situation
16:30So that'd be awesome. You see him up ahead of the yellow number 40. There's Anstey air Schwartz and
16:37And
16:38Bennett has crashed got the word there. It's back to six and we have the Bennett crash
16:44We've had this at the top of Mount Martin
16:46It was in there. Okay. This is the one parts of the racetrack
16:50They wasn't able to work on and the water doesn't run off here. It actually just sticks up there
16:55It's pretty hard pack and he just landed lost the front end simple fall, but costly one
17:01Give credit to our crew there has been so much going on in this moto
17:06Try to stay on top of this halfway through the moto. We remind you that monster energy is available at quick trip
17:13Dylan Schwartz he has been quiet but solid in pro moto cross for several seasons now
17:19Miss I believe all of supercross this year with an injury
17:23but all he does is just hover in that 10 to 14 say mark 10th at moto 1 today and
17:29Now it's his chance to show everybody what he's got he's running third. Yeah, and he's showing him
17:34He's showing him in third place right now looking solid
17:36Got a mud special in max angsty right behind him rider D right behind him
17:41It looks like Daxton was able to get up in sixth place. So even another rookie behind Daxton and Julian from there from there
17:48And career best for Schwartz is sixth in 2021. As he just jumped by him. All right, come on Dylan
17:55Did you listen to my keys exits, baby?
17:58Yeah messed up that exit at a corner and there's Max in Anthony getting around and going up that hill but
18:04Dylan's fight back. Let's see. Let's play the game of chicken going down this hill. And yeah, he's trying leaving the brakes off
18:14Not enough so antsy locking down third and helping improve his chances for an overall podium
18:20Should also be a career best in pro moto cross for Anstey
18:24But he hasn't raced a lot of pro voto across to the US to be honest
18:28Yeah, what max is doing that third place?
18:30He's gained another three points on Hayden now Hayden has to pass another four people to even get up. So Oh
18:37Kitchen is catching Cochran
18:39You know what's happening. This is where Casey's starting to realize. Oh, man
18:43I'm actually leading a pro national out here and all rookies and all riders the first time you leave one
18:49You're all happy you pull away from and then you get it gets real out there
18:53So Casey's still doing a good job. They got 17 seconds over third place
18:57So you mean if he doesn't win this moto, it's gonna be a huge improvement, but Levi
19:02kitchen free food
19:04Kitchen's free open on Saturdays here
19:08Casey trying to lock this one down with kitchen lurking. We now have Deegan and
19:14Sivacci battling this is for ninth and eighth
19:18Yeah, Joey
19:20bike
19:21Expired that last laughter of the first moto so he didn't get any points. Oh Levi almost went up the inside of Casey
19:28I don't know if he got stuck behind a laugher, but Levi at this point. He knows he has him
19:34Just waiting you think for an opening yeah, just be patient just waiting for him and you can kind of see Casey starting to
19:40You know labor a little bit. You caught him quite a bit, you know, seven seconds in a couple laps
19:45So just relax let the past come because it's gonna happen if you don't make a mistake
19:50Still it's been building for Cochran four straight top tens
19:54Ten seven nine coming into this race and another top ten in the first moto
19:59But here comes kitchen in green
20:01Still an awesome run for the first year pro leading for how long can he hang on? There's kitchen to the inside
20:08Downhill we go side-by-side for the lead. Yeah now
20:11There's a main line right here and Casey moves back over a nice move by him
20:14You see these guys are funneling this one line usually when tracks get wet like this
20:19They get one good line and man the rookies fighting. Yeah
20:25Man I want you to compare the amount of mud that kitchen has taken on compared to Cochran. He's in lap traffic now
20:31Oh, there's team manager Nate Ramsey for Cochran a rockstar Husqvarna, but the vision has got to be a little bit better
20:39Yeah, he's been out front the whole time. Oh not gonna matter. No, no holds them off
20:43Oh, I was about to say I know mama's watching too in case he would have let him go
20:47So he had to get on the gas
20:49But yeah
20:50You never know and if you're Casey just keep fighting keep throwing that rooster because Levi could go down and if he does he has
20:56The overall already so I think it's Casey kind of knows like if he keeps throwing all this rooster
21:02I'm making Levi uncomfortable Levi might just say all right. I'll just take the second place and get the win. So you never know will
21:08Yeah, you just saw Nathan Ramsey ladies empty manager there for rockstar Husqvarna
21:12He was looking very nervous up there and I said, how are you feeling? It's an honesty. He's doing a great job
21:17It's gonna be tough holding me back, but he said right now. I just want him to love
21:25Yeah different goals they don't want him to throw it away the learning lessons to try to win this one
21:29But man, it's staring him right in the face ten minutes and two laps left
21:33For Casey Cochran in lap traffic in the 47th kitchen coming back after him
21:39Yeah, see if Casey can get up these insides of these lappers
21:43Deacon has cleared Sivaci now. He's trying to get boomer. That'd be for seven
21:50I'll leave I went off the racetrack and that's sort of as I was saying
21:54Now Levi's trying to get around Casey and he's you know, you got to take some chances doing it
21:58So Casey's not rolling over is making Levi make mistakes and again, you just never know
22:04Master pull down to turn one. He is up to 12th the yowl after the stop of the mechanics area 13th
22:12Shimoda is
22:1437th a lap down after multiple trips to the mechanics area and kitchen attacking Cochran again
22:20Oh in case he hit a big pothole lost all his momentum
22:24Levi gets passing but he's gonna be on the outside
22:27Casey get on this inside get on the gas get on the gas. Oh, he's fighting. He blocked it. Yeah
22:34Good job about a 17 year old holding on. Yeah, but you saw Levi rip another tear off
22:44So Deacon as you see him making progress
22:46He needs I believe two spots to get in the overall podium today working on boomer and the good thing for got it
22:53Got sixth place
22:54Right in front of it with his teammate, which is only a second in front of him
22:58So I think if he hasn't he probably can't get this podium
23:02Get it to pull it away from and Steve who's third overall. Yeah right now Cochran looking at second overall
23:12Cochran hanging in there. Yeah
23:16Yeah, you mentioned don't get mom mad both of his parents
23:20And get the military background both of them served. So yeah
23:24Now I don't want to hear any excuses. Nah, he ain't giving it his kids out here fighting but now looking at that gap
23:30When Levi
23:33Fighting back then Deacon going after Bennett
23:37These guys are roommates buddies
23:39Training partners, but right now they're just battling on the racetrack
23:43Deacon looking to make the move and he's got it
23:47Hayden Deacon headed to the podium today. That's the goal
23:56So Hayden Deacon a key pass
23:59Man, this looks like it was going to be a terrible moto for Hayden
24:02It's turned out worse for all of his championship rivals and he is trying to salvage third overall and I believe he's done it
24:08Yeah, he's done it. But did you see him go down that hill and land in that pothole?
24:13That's when you like a factory suspension. Thank you very much, but
24:16Levi musta took a little bit break and
24:19Cleaned it cleared his vision. Now. He's gonna go out there Casey again, but Casey keeps doing this eventually
24:26Levi's gonna say I'm gonna just take this this overall victory
24:29Just take the second place and go but Casey's doing a great job being where Levi wants to go
24:34Got a little huckabuck right there
24:37Opening round of the season Cochran was down. I believe in the first turn of both motos
24:41The result wasn't good, but he passed a ton of riders. They remember he was the fast qualifier on the outfield again
24:48Oh
24:51Cochran was the fast qualifier around two. We thought that was a sign of something
24:55Well, that's a sign there too far outside kitchen to stuck to that inside line. Oh Casey. Hold on to it
25:02Gets into the lead gotta give him credit. He was like I'm going for it. I'm like swap
25:06He's like, I'm just a second place pretty good. But yeah, the lip lever, I think yeah, he must yell man
25:11That's tough. Is that a foot thing? No, it looks like shift left shift lever. Okay
25:17And kitchen has taken the lead on the turn at the top of Mount Martin
25:22and two trips to the mechanics area for
25:26the owl
25:27Cochran would be third overall
25:31He's got a hold off
25:33Ansty
25:34Wait a minute. It's coming back. Yeah, Levi hit that pothole and almost went off the track where we saw Hayden Deegan
25:40but
25:41yeah, I mean it's gonna give Casey some confidence because now he saw
25:45Levi catch him but
25:47He's like, okay. I'm right here. I'm seeing his lines. Maybe he can get back around them. That'd be huge for this kid
25:54Fans are loving this
25:55We had a big weather delay rain
25:57Some lightning and how about the motocross fans? They do not care at all. They're fired up still
26:03Yeah, we don't care. There you go
26:07Wait, oh I just heard a panic rev
26:09But nope, they're both still upright when you hear a bike revved out like that
26:13That's usually a sign of someone's about to go over the handlebars. Yeah, that's the
26:17Equivalent of somebody screaming i'm about to get hit
26:21Good to see casey's still upright cochran in second losing a little bit of ground though and look at that
26:26That's shimoda going two laps down
26:32Now levi's got some clear air
26:36Will another update on shimoda, that's right the situation that he's in like you said right now
26:40He's two laps down. So the team have actually asked him to come in ben griffith
26:44There his mechanic wrote that on the pit board whether joe's gonna listen or not
26:47We'll find out but at this point they just don't see any point in him being out there right now
26:52Well will it's amazing how this has shaken up the points
26:55Kitchen might move into second of the championship
26:59That is wild because so many other riders hybus vl
27:03masterpool not a good day
27:05Shimoda, not a good day
27:07So all the troubles for kitchen throughout the season not the results. He wanted a racing a lot of that
27:14in one fell swoop
27:17And a lot of it came down to him risking it all for the start here is the motosport.com whole shot replay
27:23and then chaos ensues
27:27Yeah, now it looks like casey cochran up the inside hayden degan got to the first corner first
27:32And then it was chance hymas snuck around him had a better angle
27:35or excuse me chance hymas and then
27:38at that point
27:41I don't know. I was thinking that yeah, he felt it. Maybe that's the adrenaline started to lay up
27:46Yeah, he started to lay out. So casey cochran ends up getting the whole shot
27:54Inside you see deegan start sliding goes into
28:00Chance all these guys they can't see it's a domino effect
28:05So much happening, oh, there's the exhaust the deacon's bike you can see just way wide
28:14Okay, so it's still on the motorcycle, so maybe they were concerned about it hanging off and then falling into the wheel or something
28:21Here's our man stav orland who we were seeing down in the staging area early
28:26Uh, just going to lap down. I believe we see kitchen up front
28:30We see kitchen up front
28:34And
28:35Nolan still on the lead lap man, so many bikes we are seeing pull off the racetrack now
28:42kitchen
28:43Looking for the one one day
28:45Deegan up to six behind schwartz still running well in fifth
28:50Shimoda is out of the moto. He did pull out as honda asked him to do
28:55Why don't dee francesco quietly running forth in this one send it to jt
29:01Well, when you think about championships you go back, you know the days where deegan goes 1-1 he wins the overalls
29:06Those are really obvious as contributors but days like today are those hidden days that people won't really think about it
29:12It's not going to jump off the page
29:14We won't be talking about it on the stat sheet
29:16But days like today where you overcome adversity you ride with an exhaust is pointing the wrong direction and you still end up
29:22Over on the podium overall
29:23Those are how championships are won and I get it the wins are glamorous
29:27Everybody wants to talk about it, but there's so much more to it
29:30And he's showing that he can overcome adversity on days like today
29:34Yeah, absolutely and even more important than that
29:36It almost makes you feel like this championship's just meant to be you know
29:40When you go down in the first corner and then your two contenders are out, you know, you know having issues with
29:46Um chance hyman's going out so for sure the points gain is nice
29:51But really just feeling like this championship is meant to be and you just keep that thing rolling stacking those chips, which he's doing
30:00See the exhaust
30:02This side you can't really see it as well. It's on the right side of the bike
30:05It's definitely lower and sticking to the right more so than it should be
30:08Yeah
30:10Yeah, I think the thing is it must be cracked but it's hanging on and then if the thing was completely off
30:16It'd be a lot louder than this
30:18So might be down on power a little bit, but still jt
30:22Yeah, and when he got to the motorcycle, it was in an l it was in a 90 degree angle
30:26So he kicked it literally kicked it back. So it's at least facing the right direction
30:31So I think you're right. There's probably a big kink in it a big bend in it
30:34It probably is cutting down on horsepower, but certainly not enough to keep him on the podium today
30:39That's how we fix things we kick and duct tape that's all we need
30:44But yeah, I mean maybe the power cutting down maybe helps him a lot on the traction track being a little bit slippery into mud
30:50Who knows but it doesn't look like anything's bothering
30:53Here he's starting to get more comfortable
30:56That's a pretty good pace. He might go to close in
30:59He might end up fourth in this moto because he's only about five seconds back from
31:03Uh rider d in fourth place and that'd be an amazing route if he's able to do that
31:08Yeah schwartz and d francisco got three laps to go here. Let's see that schwartz up ahead. Can he get to them?
31:15And deegan keeps digging
31:17Unbelievable right there turn one. He was down and i'm thinking boy. He's he gonna lose a lot of points today
31:22Yeah, dylan's right ahead head of him and hayden went to 22 his last lap. Dylan was at 226 and rider
31:29D was at 227. So he's gaining chunks of times
31:33Hayden deegan point salvage mode of the highest order today
31:39Oh
31:45What a wild
31:47moto
31:48Yeah, was that schwartz right there was schwartz right there. As I said, he was gaining massive chunks of time
31:53So that's fifth place and then rider d's right in front of him as well
31:57So hey deegan might end up in fourth place will if he doesn't go down
32:01You can look at the score sheet and say oh three four just a solid consistent day
32:06It will not tell you how wild this all was
32:09Well on the score he rode better this weekend than he did last week
32:14Hard to believe with the first turn crash, but man has it come undone for others
32:18The yowl is 16th place after multiple trips mechanics area and let's not forget
32:23This was set up beautifully for vl early in the second moto
32:28yeah, that's
32:29Just but it's been the theme of the year for him and ktm just seems like every time in the 250 class
32:35Yeah, they're fast he was as fast as he you heard him say oh I love the track i'm sure he was comfortable and then
32:41Something happens and he's in the mechanics area changing gear shifting. So
32:45Tough for him, but he'll keep fighting
32:48And that's d francisco right in front of him
32:52Hayden deegan continues his charge here and spring creek smx from the fxr spring creek national rider
32:59D francisco is in front of him on the troy lane designs red bull gas gas and this is a battle late for fourth
33:13And it's two to go levi kitchen looking to get his first overall win ever in pro moto cross
33:21Hayden's right there. Yeah, he's right there and even if rider gets past how the season's been going
33:26We haven't really seen him up front for a few races still a good ride by him same thing with dylan
33:31So give a shout out to julian bermur and seventh place. That's the bennex up there. So
33:37Yeah, hayden's got some good lines. You can tell he's pretty comfortable at doing this
33:42And right around rider d really comfortable at doing this
33:46so
33:49Is there a point
33:50Where you can get so loose in a mud race or it actually becomes fun
33:54Well, I I think for hayden i'm sure he knows that tom's out
33:58same thing with uh chance hymas
34:00So the pressure was kind of off him and once he kind of got rolling the bike seems what it's making it
34:06Yeah, it is fun. And now he's got a good rhythm going
34:10looks a lot better this moto than he even did the first moto, so
34:13Whatever that is. They figured it out
34:16Kids on the podium again, like he's been all year second place lower left of the screen
34:20Those are the championship points in pro motocross now
34:24And it'd be a 51 point lead for deegan over kitchen and that's more than one day's worth of points
34:33What a season it has been and a little bit of everything from hayden good starts overcoming bad starts
34:40Showing you can bounce back from a subpar weekend. See anstey better get on the gas here
34:46cruising in third
34:49You know deegan's not going to give up
34:51No, I think that was
34:53Jordan smith, was that 31 not 37?
34:57Yeah, it's showing in timing score and max shouldn't be there. We saw hayden go past the mechanics there at the finish line
35:03So maybe that was jordan smith
35:05Okay, so kitchen
35:07Trying to bring this home
35:09And this would be win 301 for pro circuit
35:13Got the 300th faster pull a few weeks ago white flag now out
35:19Bring it home
35:23Like yeah, I can
35:25but
35:26Great ride for levi the way that season started off supercross season lost that championship nice bounce back and
35:33Whatever they were we saw this happen with
35:36Um, mitch payton and and josh motor last year. They worked on the motorcycle and was around southwick
35:40They found something and then he was flying. Maybe this is the same thing for levi
35:44well jt
35:46Yeah, and you think about flurry by kitchen he goes 1-1 and how that sets up for him going to literally and I say his
35:51Home track of washougal. I mean his home track of washougal next weekend
35:56So it's going to be just bursting with confidence as we head to the pacific northwest
36:01Yep from the same town as the racetrack
36:04It's been the first time in seven years that pro circuit has had two different riders
36:09Win races going back to the joey. Sabachi out of the scene. Cirulo days
36:142017
36:16And we saw it even in supercross and toward the end of the year last year
36:19This team has definitely started to put it back together
36:22Yeah, absolutely and crazy to think it's been that long since they had two routers compared to when you have ryan villopodo
36:29And and the guys coming up this thing was non-stop. It was non-stop. It was just like the star racing
36:34so cool to see mitch and
36:36really happy for levi to
36:38Get some confidence and now he's hayden's biggest threat. He's second in the points
36:44Going to his hometown. Maybe he can continue this streak first time
36:47He's went 1-1 right at first time. He's never won an overall. Yeah, it's odd. He's had good motos
36:53He's never really put the two motos together in one day
36:56I believe has had three moto wins to his career before today, but didn't get any overalls
37:02And now he's in complete control. Yes, he is
37:05Great ride by him
37:07Great ride by casey and now mr. Disneyland max anstey gonna get him a podium in this moto and hey deegan
37:15As crazy as this race started out
37:18Yep, he's gonna end up extending his points lead is deegan, but it is levi kitchen
37:24Well, it's the difference every week someone else pops up as oh
37:27This is now the guy deegan's gonna have to deal with but deegan's good every week
37:32Kitchen had a bad run through a couple rounds of the series boys. He ever back wins moto one wins moto two
37:40first ever overall win for levi kitchen
37:43He takes free creek
37:47Casey cochran
37:49Gonna bring it home second james and that'll be good enough for an overall podium. Yeah, man
37:53Yeah, great job kid saw him a year and a half ago doing some supercross the improvement that he's made
38:00Great for him and huskaburner casey his family and nathan ramsay good shout out for those guys. Good job kid
38:07He's pumped. He looks like trey canard 13 like hey, man
38:12No, no, I think he won. He won. Have me checking the map
38:17Uh deegan, I think it's going to be fourth anstey has taken third
38:22But it'll make deegan's second overall cochran third anstey fourth. There's anstey on the 37th
38:30Moto podium for him. It's been steady progress
38:34What's up with kitchen here?
38:36You all right. Yeah, he's tired
38:38He's tired, but no and they just said hey, you got a chance to recover
38:42Look who he gets the congrats from his good friend. Chase. Sexton
38:50Yeah, everybody's coming up I didn't think that was chase because he was so much smaller than him like but levi's talking like
38:57It's a huge confidence booster for him and we know he's got talent to compete see what he does with the rest of the year
39:12That is jake the series chaplain very close relationship with a lot of these riders there's casey cochran
39:20Yeah
39:22Hey ramsay with the stash all these guys they ride together
39:26man
39:27Chase sexton's just become a super fan down there. Hey, he's been off to he's been off the bike for like three hours. So
39:33i'm gonna see him asking for autographs goggles
39:38There's levi
39:40Had to shave the american motif off. No longer july 4th weekend. Maybe keep the hair short
