00:00I like main events, the best of the best, ready to go, 250 west here in Salt Lake City.
00:09Good start Deegan, got by Cody Schock, Cody's on the inside, here comes Julian Beaumare,
00:15but it's Danger Boy who leads them early. I love how Danger Boy used that upramp of the landing,
00:22oh, there's massive chaos, a bunch of riders down, Joe Shimoda, is that March Banks, Doter.
00:32I couldn't tell, it's like somebody came on the inside, those guys got bottled up,
00:35and yeah, all three of those guys got it, but as you were saying, Ricky, the landing jump,
00:39he was able to get that three just to get that gap to avoid that situation that happened behind him, kids on fire.
00:46No, that apex of that first corner initially is so tight in the main events,
00:51it's going to be super important to watch your surroundings there, because it could be chaos.
01:00Let's go back and show you what happened on the opening lap involving multiple riders.
01:06Well, it's difficult, James, you know, like it bottles up so fast after these rhythm lanes.
01:11If there's one miscue, there's nowhere for anybody to go and just gets all jammed up.
01:17Yeah, and probably one guy gets hung up on the outside, and you'll probably see somebody,
01:21oh, looks like he was almost jumped on him on the inside, but nonetheless, there's nothing you can do.
01:27It's just a racing incident, and once everybody's bottled up in the beginning,
01:32you take down multiple riders because they're so close.
01:34I'm glad to see everybody back up, R.C.
01:36Yes, Derrick Kelly also in there.
01:38Julian Beaumare, here he is aboard the Red Bull KTM.
01:40He was the fastest qualifier, looked good earlier today.
01:44And he was fast last week in qualifying practice,
01:46and I believe he had the speed to contest with Hayden Deegan for the win in Denver,
01:53but he got a bad start and just never saw himself up front.
01:58However, getting on the podium was an incredible ride and a comeback,
02:01but he's back healthy and ready to go, and he has what it takes.
02:05Yeah, absolutely, and he was your fastest in qualifier, too, in that second one.
02:08Oh, man.
02:10That's it for Jordan Smith.
02:12He gave it a go.
02:13He tried, but that injury that he sustained this after earlier today, too much.
02:21You hate to see that for Jordan Smith.
02:22You think about the earlier part of the season.
02:25I mean, he was podium after podium, got the win.
02:27He was a points leader at one stage, and then when he took that hard impact in Arlington,
02:32it just seemed like he could never kind of get out of that rut anymore.
02:35And that very special win in Phoenix giving Triumph its very first Supercross win.
02:42So he's a special part of Triumph history.
02:46Here's a good one here.
02:47Good fight between Drew Adams and Michael Moseman.
02:49Yeah, good to see Drew Adams up here, Michael Moseman coming off that neck injury,
02:54getting better as the year has been going on, dealing with the rookie in Drew Adams.
02:59So looking forward to seeing how these guys progress throughout the rest of this race
03:04and also moving into the outdoors as well.
03:07Well, it's great to see, like you're talking about, Drew out here.
03:10He was much better in time qualifying practice earlier today as well.
03:15And just to get that experience, remember, he got hurt in the second round that he was racing in.
03:20I think it was second round, second or third round earlier this season.
03:23So great to see him back out here.
03:24He had a great run last week, top ten, great finish.
03:28And I expect him to be a little bit better here tonight, even though it's a showdown.
03:31We bumped into Hayden Deegan a little earlier today.
03:35He had a cheeky smile on his face and he said,
03:38we gave you guys some action last week, didn't I?
03:41Definitely did that.
03:42He gave us the material, didn't he?
03:43Yeah, thank you.
03:45That was very kind.
03:46Deegan, just under two seconds over Bomer.
03:48Then Cody's shocked, but he's had a little bobble there.
03:51And that allows Bomer to get closer.
03:52Listen to the crowd.
03:54Bomer much better.
03:55Yeah, we're still friends.
03:56Cole knows that.
03:57This is...
03:59Inside goes Juju!
04:00Oh, Hayden knew that was coming.
04:03He owed them one day.
04:04Oh, boy.
04:05Let's give it some more action.
04:07And has it happened right here, James?
04:10These guys have got history.
04:12And it hasn't always been that pleasant.
04:19Deegan tries again.
04:21Yeah, Hayden could have been more aggressive, but this is...
04:23This is a fun race.
04:24Yeah, we're going for it.
04:26But it's also pleasing to really halfway through this series.
04:30This is going to lead on all summer long.
04:31I love the scene between these guys.
04:33Yeah, the rivalries spark back up.
04:36Yeah.
04:37Hayden loses the rear end coming out of that corner.
04:40Juju has a slight advantage through the whoops.
04:43A little more commitment at the beginning there.
04:47Built a gap.
04:50Michael Moseman going down here with Cody Schock.
04:53This guy has been going back and forth.
04:55Drew Adams is long gone now.
04:57So, how quickly things can change.
04:59He was right up behind him.
05:00And a couple battles later, he's in a few seconds.
05:03So, goodbye.
05:04Cody Schock, man.
05:07What a year it's been for him.
05:09Having some great performances.
05:12Personal bests.
05:13Doing a fantastic job.
05:15And this is a guy you never really heard of.
05:17In the amateur ranks, like some of the guys that he's racing against.
05:21It's always cool to see such a feel-good story.
05:25Got his first podium this year.
05:26That's right.
05:27That career-high mark with that podium was fantastic.
05:32Here's Joe Shimoda on the comeback after that first lap crash.
05:38So, he is pushing as hard as he can on Avery Long.
05:42Yeah, that's a good ride by Joe.
05:44And you're probably wondering, like, you've seen Joe,
05:46why these guys aren't up in the transfer.
05:48That's because this is basically a main event, RZ.
05:51Like, with all these guys, he's the best of the best.
05:53And it's a six-minute main event.
05:55So, it's a little bit harder to come up.
05:56So, good ride by Joe.
05:57Looks like Garrett Marshmains is about three seconds behind him.
06:00Exactly.
06:00Right behind is the Kawasaki of Garrett Marchbanks,
06:04who was one of the four riders who went down on that opening lap.
06:07So, let's see if he can bridge that gap to Shimoda and to Long
06:10and do something about getting into the main event
06:13without having to go via the LCQ like R.J. Hampshire.
06:16And just to add what you were saying, James,
06:18it's like, yeah, this is like a main event.
06:20And, oh, by the way, it's an abbreviated main event
06:23because it's that heat race like you alluded to.
06:26But that's what I love about the showdown.
06:28It's like, you know, main event one, main event two,
06:30and then the final later on here this evening.
06:34Yeah.
06:34And with that being said, you do not want to go to that last chance
06:36because now you're going to ride against guys you haven't really
06:38ridden against that much all year long.
06:41And these guys are holding Joe up,
06:42which is bringing Garrett back in this thing.
06:45And Garrett doesn't want to go to last chance as well.
06:47Let's see if Joe can get up the inside.
06:49Look at this.
06:49Marchbanks is right there.
06:51So, the two AEO PowerSports KTM riders,
06:54the teammates Lux Turner and Avery Long are there,
06:56but they're coming under increasing pressure
06:58from Honda's Joe Shimoda,
07:01Pro Circuit Kawasaki rider Garrett Marchbanks.
07:03This is going to be a pressure-packed final lap.
07:07Joe better get after it, man.
07:08He's wasted some valuable time behind these guys.
07:13But that just shows you how well Avery Long is riding
07:15and Lux Turner as well.
07:17Checkered flag is out.
07:19Julian Beaumare has never beaten Deegan in a heat.
07:22He has now.
07:24And now this is the pressure cooker.
07:27Well, let's see if Avery is able to close him off.
07:29I don't even think he knew Garrett was that close,
07:32but nice move by Joe.
07:34Oh, look at the drive that Marchbanks gets through the whoops
07:37to get by Joe Shimoda.
07:39Full commitment.
07:41Better watch out for Avery.
07:42Oh, he made a mistake in that corner, Joe.
07:43Better go to inside.
07:44Good move by him.
07:45Great comeback, Ryan.
07:47Garrett Marchbanks and Joe Shimoda.
07:49They'll go through to the main event.
07:51Unfortunately, Avery Long.
07:52Good comeback.
07:53.
07:54.
08:02.
08:04.
08:05.
