00:00...to go to the main.
00:10That first turn has caused some chaos tonight, hasn't it?
00:14Oh yeah, it has. So has this right-hander right here.
00:17Everybody checks up so early to get low in that corner, and the riders aren't anticipating.
00:23Great start, Kevin Morant.
00:27Drenhalan's trying to go with him as well.
00:29Oh, really close. The guy came up short, almost got landed on.
00:34That was a great save by those guys, not going down.
00:43Track's going to be a little bit better here early on in this 450 last chance qualifier compared to the 250 last chance qualifier.
00:52Watch Mitchell Harrison.
00:54He's made his way up to third already.
00:57Yeah, he was looking really good on that opening lap.
01:01So he's pushed his way through on the 86. JT.
01:04Well, Freddie Noren started on that very inside gate.
01:09We showed him just before the start, and thinking about if you're RJ Hampshire, that's one of the gates he's going to be in.
01:15I think RJ Hampshire would take a seventh around that first turn.
01:18He's already up to battling for fourth.
01:20So just looking for a template of how RJ Hampshire could get there.
01:24I think Freddie Noren may have just shown him.
01:26Yeah, JT. And also I was watching him, and he actually went into the first corner in good position.
01:32But the inside there on that flat ground was so slick that some guys around the outside was able to kind of roll by him.
01:40Other than that, I think he would have been up even further than he is right now.
01:43Yeah, I agree with you, Ricky.
01:44And I think for RJ, you might have to get a little bit more aggressive because when it goes straight there and then bends a little bit,
01:49if he's willing to make some contact and maybe bulldoze some people out of the way, maybe he can move up even further.
01:54Yeah, JT, you ran my mind on that one.
01:57I said RJ and that man is in.
01:58If he's in that spot, he'll be a little bit more aggressive than probably Freddie.
02:01Freddie Noren, he'll have an opportunity to get around these guys as he does right now.
02:06He was up into that fourth position.
02:08Finally, he was able to clear cross, but it took some time.
02:13Justin Rodbell and then Hunter Schlosser.
02:17Meanwhile, Kevin Moran has a one-and-a-half-second lead over Grant Harlan.
02:22There they are.
02:22That's what it looks like.
02:24Mitchell Harrison continues his strong run on the right-hand side of your screen there in third.
02:32Looking good to make the main here in Salt Lake City.
02:36Yep, these guys are good.
02:37The top three kind of spread out a little bit.
02:39Freddie's starting to close up on him a little bit there, but keep that gap.
02:43A lot of loose stuff coming up now.
02:45You can see those rocks coming up out of this track.
02:47Oh, yeah.
02:47He's going to have to start staying in that powder out there as this track continues to dry out.
02:51When I was down on the track for qualifying practice, it was a lot of small little pebbles out there for sure.
03:00JT.
03:00Watching in third place there, Mitchell Harrison, Ricky.
03:05He had a huge crash last weekend in Denver.
03:08Suffered a concussion in the heat race, so I wasn't even sure if he was going to be able to show up tonight.
03:12Looks like he's on his way to making the main event.
03:13So nice recovery from Harrison.
03:14Yeah, really nice recovery.
03:16He's been doing pretty well this season.
03:19Great to see that, especially in this 450 class.
03:21I mean, the competition and the level is just so high.
03:27This is where I feel like the privateer bikes, they work really good because they're a little bit softer than the factory.
03:33So as this track dries out, you know, you don't see so much movement in their arms compared to maybe, you know, a guy like Cooper Webb and stuff.
03:40So different pace, but overall, the bike's working pretty good.
03:44with a minute and a half plus a lap left on the clock, I want to remind you that it could be you who gets to walk the track before the big race
03:53or be at the right spot next to the world's best races at an SMX World Championship event before the 450 gate drop,
04:03maybe dodging a champagne shower at the podium, seeing the superstars of the sport there.
04:08Well, you can do all of that and a whole lot more.
04:10Head to SMX Experiences.
04:11Wow, as Mitchell Harrison put the move on Grand Harlan there, and you can enjoy a VIP experience.
04:18Harrison to second.
04:20Head to smxexperiences.com for all the details.
04:24Mitchell wants to get a little bit more insurance.
04:26He does.
04:27He wants insurance for sure.
04:29But if you notice, like we were talking about how good Chase Sexton's bike was looking through the whoops,
04:33like when the initial part of the stroke, there's a lot more forgiveness there.
04:38When you watch these guys, they've been able to blitz the whoops, and their bike kind of looks the same as there as Chase.
04:43Really forgiving on the beginning.
04:45Subtle.
04:45Yeah, he's allowing these guys to get some traction.
04:49Yeah, it's like we were talking about, like it's in the, there's Vial.
04:54Getting ready.
04:55Man, this is going to be a great main event here coming up shortly after this last chance qualifier.
05:00Can he defend that 250 East Division Championship?
05:05It's all on the line for the Frenchman.
05:09White flags out, one to go.
05:12Grant Harlan looking back, seeing where the next guy is.
05:16Schlosser.
05:17He's got, he's got, he's got time.
05:18Actually crosses in fifth place now.
05:22But yeah, he's got, he's got, he's got plenty of a gap right there.
05:26Keep it up right.
05:27He's there.
05:28Yeah.
05:28James, you brought up a good point about the SMX World Championship is over the course of 31 rounds, 17 Supercross, 11 Pro Motocross, then going to the SMX Playoffs.
05:44So, for these guys to get into the main and to accrue more points, just to keep on building.
05:50And we were talking about Mitchell Harrison, he's 20th in points at the moment.
05:55So, for Kevin Morant, he's a little further back.
05:58He's 24th, but Kevin gets it done, wins the last chance qualifier.
06:02Well done ahead of Mitchell Harrison and Freddie Norrin and then Grant Harlan.
06:05They're the four, progressing to the main event, coming up here shortly.
06:11Nice ride.
06:11Great start from Morant.
06:13And...
06:14...
