00:00Você não é lying.
00:02We were talking about it
00:03off-air, just
00:05how this racetrack has developed.
00:10You saw Kyle Chisholm on the 11.
00:13Last chance qualifier.
00:17Supremo,
00:18as far as wins,
00:20he doesn't want to be here, but he finds himself
00:22in another LCQ, fighting it out.
00:26I feel like Kyle Chisholm
00:28becomes a different racer in these things.
00:30Like, just really smart, kind of like a
00:32Cooper Webb effect, just very patient,
00:34allows this race to come, but
00:35something to hear about Philly.
00:38Oh, fireworks already getting started.
00:40Out in front, Grant Harlan
00:42feeling good.
00:44Had a birthday yesterday.
00:47Let's see if he can celebrate,
00:48continue the celebrations with a last chance
00:50qualifier win. Great move aboard
00:52that twisted THEP Suzuki
00:53by Kyle Chisholm.
00:55Look at Rod Bell, 148.
00:59That red Honda, third.
01:01He got a personal best last week
01:03in Foxborough,
01:04in the main event,
01:05the 250 division.
01:08Now he's in the 450.
01:10Putting on a good ride here
01:11to last chance.
01:12Man, these first couple laps
01:14in last chance,
01:15races are so intense.
01:16Guys going everywhere,
01:18trying to make moves
01:19up the inside, outside.
01:20Yeah, these guys are going back
01:25and forth, and the track
01:26kind of sets it up that way,
01:27because one guy gets bunched up,
01:29and if the third place guy
01:30gets bunched up,
01:31he brings the whole pack into it,
01:33so these guys aren't going to be
01:35playing nice for much longer.
01:36I just can't help but think about
01:44how lucky we've been
01:45and the fans and the riders
01:46that we've dodged the rain
01:48or more severe rain,
01:49considering what the weather
01:50was like yesterday
01:51and even a little earlier today,
01:53so it's worked out so far so good.
01:56See those shiny parts
02:02are coming up on the track,
02:03and that's going to make it
02:04really difficult for these guys,
02:05because they've got to worry
02:06about being really sticky,
02:07and once they let off the brakes,
02:09the bike wants to grab them,
02:10but then you have these shiny parts on it.
02:12You see some dust coming up
02:13as you see the guys lives in the rear end.
02:15That's all because the track's
02:16starting to get a lot slipperier
02:18as it gets down to that plywood.
02:19It makes it even more difficult
02:20and tricky for these guys
02:21as the day goes on.
02:22Yeah, as this track starts
02:29to get down to the plywood,
02:30these guys start to get
02:31towards the back of the bike,
02:33like James talked about in the woods,
02:35is to get that traction,
02:36like when he's talking
02:37about his brother Malcolm
02:38and how he rides heavy on the bike,
02:39you want to get as much force
02:41down on the rear wheel as possible
02:43to go forward.
02:44You do not want your rear wheel
02:46to spin.
02:49Coming out of this corner right here
02:50is a perfect example
02:52of what James is talking about.
02:57Justin Rodbell runs third
03:00at the moment.
03:00You may remember last weekend
03:02he got fourth in the 250 class.
03:06Well, he hasn't made a 450 main
03:07since Seattle last year.
03:12So let's see if he can do it
03:13right here, right now.
03:14Kevin Moran's doing the chasing.
03:16Man, this is a battle.
03:21I've got one foot in
03:23and one foot out.
03:25These guys are riding really well
03:26and that's why.
03:29Pretty precise going through
03:30these rhythm sections.
03:31Remember on that track report
03:32that James, JT, and I did.
03:36Doing really well.
03:37Yeah, and I feel like
03:38Jerry Hand is probably
03:40in the cap or seat
03:40because even though
03:41he's out of the transfer position,
03:43this battle that's going on
03:44in front of him,
03:45one of these guys
03:45is going to end up
03:46making a mistake
03:46and he's going to be
03:47your beneficiary right there.
03:49So if he could just stay
03:49close to him,
03:50not make a mistake himself,
03:52they're going to be worried
03:53about battling each other.
03:54He might be able to sneak
03:54up the inside
03:55and get one of them.
03:56Yeah, he can sit back.
03:57He's got a front row seat
03:59to the show,
04:00that's for sure.
04:01Still some time left here
04:03at the minute.
04:03Plus a lot to go.
04:04Nice move.
04:05There we go.
04:07And it's returned.
04:08No, not quite.
04:12So Hand into that fourth spot.
04:15Now the pressure is on
04:17Justin Rodbell.
04:19I just can't help
04:20but think back to last week
04:21at Rodbell's expression
04:22when we interviewed him
04:24up on the podium
04:26for that fourth place.
04:27He's like,
04:27man, this was unbelievable.
04:29This was unreal.
04:34That actually gets really hard
04:35for those guys
04:36when they land off that will.
04:40Just picking up
04:41on what you said there
04:42about Justin,
04:43it was just,
04:44it was contagious,
04:45his excitement
04:46of how that went down.
04:47And what fascinated me
04:48is that he talked about
04:49going straight back
04:50to work on Monday.
04:51This guy, you know,
04:52works Monday to Friday
04:53and he just,
04:54I think that disbelief
04:55that he was in that situation
04:57fourth in a main event
04:58and then straight back
04:59to it on Monday
05:00with his regular job.
05:02The thing about that
05:04and that he's out here
05:04battling with the best
05:06SMX riders in the world,
05:07that's incredible.
05:08I can tell you,
05:09it's hard enough to do
05:10when you do it full-time
05:13training and riding
05:14but then you have
05:15a full-time regular job,
05:17massive kudos.
05:18If he doesn't hurry up,
05:19he's going to be getting
05:20to work early
05:20because he needs a position.
05:28Have you ever wanted
05:29to walk the track
05:30before the big race
05:31or be next to the world's
05:32best races
05:33at an SMX world champion?
05:50And you can see it,
05:53what we're enjoying
05:54right here,
05:55right now in Philly.
05:56And I can tell you
05:57it's a different perspective
05:58when you get behind
05:59the scenes like that,
06:00really see what these riders
06:01face on these racetracks.
06:03It is absolutely impressive.
06:07Braun was talking about it
06:09and I had a chance
06:09to meet him earlier today.
06:11Oh, you did?
06:11Yeah, it's like,
06:12he was blown away.
06:14It was cool to see his reaction.
06:15I love people
06:15that have come to an SMX race
06:17for the first time
06:18and just hear
06:18what they had to say.
06:21So 1.2,
06:23almost 1.3 seconds
06:24for Grant Harland
06:25over Kyle Chisholm.
06:29Got a really good start
06:31and hasn't looked back.
06:32Maybe it was at dinner
06:33last night
06:34that we saw him at.
06:36Celebrating his birthday.
06:39And the weekend
06:40just continues
06:41with positivity.
06:42Well done.
06:43LCQ victory.
06:45He won in Detroit.
06:46Wins here.
06:47Kyle Chisholm,
06:48Kevin Moran's
06:49with a fist pump
06:50and Jeremy Hand
06:51gets that all-important
06:53fourth and final spot
06:55to go to the 450 main event.
06:57Yeah.
06:58He's just looked up
06:59at confirmation of that.
07:04250 East.
