[Assistant] You know, with these guys with jet winning and chase getting second, you know, second, uh, at Detroit, like your points are starting to run away from you, right? So a 10th was, is, is definitely not where you want to be because, you know, it's a, you're, you're, you're, you're forfeiting so many points. So, um, that's why.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's tough, you know, so he's, if Eli wants to keep this baby alive, he's, he's gonna have to go, like you said, he's gonna have to rebound and he's gonna have to go on a run here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] of, of having some really, really good finishes. And, and, and, and what I mean by really good is, is winning multiple races and you know, and then also his nights that he is a little bit off, not too far out of the top three, you know, inside that top five.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, take it all in. If this is, like you said, if the end of the road is closing in on him for his career.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, no, totally, totally, but, but from the fan's perspective, like, dude, give the guy, uhm, I mean, he's one of the best.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't beat him up. Don't beat him up. He's, like you said, he's, he's second all time, uhm, for wins in Supercross. Like, you know, let's, let's, uh, let's praise the guy if, if this is, and like you said, we hope it's not, but uhm, it's, it's, it's looking interesting, put it that way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I think, I think a big chunk of it is him. Uhm, I will say that I think he, immature, you know, got another season under his belt. He, I mean, he had to make a change, right? Meaning he had to make a change with himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and stop making those mistakes. Now, is the motorcycle helping him do that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I think it might be helping him do that, uhm, but just the scenery change moving from Honda over to Red Bull KTM, uhm, then maybe that's what it needed to kind of light that fire of the consistency and riding, uhm, you know, not over his head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and the motorcycle may help that. So, but personally I would say I'm going to give, I'm going to chalk that up to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Him just being a smarter, better rider, uhm, learning from, learning from his mistakes. Uh, and I think it's, I'd say 70-30, 70% he's better, 30% the motorcycle's helping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On testing and trying to, um, get the motorcycle better, uh, you know, throughout these weeks. And it's very hard to do when, when in, in, in our form of racing, when we have so many rounds back to back to back to back, you only have really.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, for the listeners that are listening, like you normally only test one day a week. I mean, if things are really, really way out of whack, you might do two days of testing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and, and one day of like, call it motos or just like, hey, the, say, so, so let's go Monday, Tuesday, if we test, then Thursday, we want to ride what we've ended up, uh, Tuesday with. We want to get a whole day under our belt on that, on that new setting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That we know, we know what it's predictable. We know what it's gonna do, right? And, and one day, believe me, is short, uh, for some of these changes. If it's a big change, one day can be short, right? So, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He needs to bridge that gap from where he was. We watched him coming up to the finish line, checkered flag. You can see the flames go off when Jett went off the finish line. So my point is he wasn't


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It wasn't like it was a 15 second gap that Jett had on him. It looked to me, uhm, it was only about two and a half to three seconds, so fairly close.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but he needs to bridge that gap that, that, that Jett has on him right now and put himself in good positions. He can't be, he can't be having these, you know, mediocre starts and then Jett gets a whole shot and he's working his way up. You know, he started second. He was able to keep Jett honest, but he couldn't bridge that gap. So he's going to have to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe it's, maybe it's making a couple more changes, getting that bike where he needs to, to bridge that gap up to Jet. Um, it needs to, he ultimately needs to start putting pressure on him because with the, being that Jet's only one point down, um, very, very, very close racing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, well, I mean, look, and I'm gonna, I'll jump right to that. We, I personally think that, you know, we're gonna talk Coop, you know, Coop right now. We saw points-wise right there, Coop's only six down. Uhm, you got Jett, uhm, you got Chase leading, and then you got, uh, Jett in second, and you got AP.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, is Chase and Jett better keep an eye on old Coop? Because uhm, I think he's building and we haven't seen the best out of Cooper yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Chase is going to have to deal with the pressure of being in that, in that, in that cooker, right? Of being, hey, I'm not in the points lead. I don't have a big points, points gap. Uhm, we're fighting for tooth and nail. Uhm, if I, if, if, man, Mike, if I'm a betting guy, if and I'm in Vegas,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm taking Coop right now, uhm, to be the guy that's gonna be putting pressure on both of those two at the end. Uhm, you know, I-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that his, his, the way he's showing that he's riding, he's able to, number one, he's able to come through the pack really well. Um, the motorcycle looks like it's working very well underneath of him. And I think that his trajectory right now is, is going, going to get better. I think, I think, I think he's going to be, uh, he's going to be, he's in this for the long haul.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, and back to her point is maybe, or to Coop's point as he blamed it on the gate, was it that he was on, we'd have to pull up a replay of the start there, was he on the right side, so was he on the outside of Jett, like just one position on the outside?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are left out to dry on this outside, especially on a left-hand turn like that. So maybe he's referring to that. He should have went to the inside gate of Jett and even if Jett gets the jump on him, he can slop, drop in right behind him and follow him, follow him through the first turn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, he was on the right side, sorry, left side of, of, of, uhm, of jets. So, you know, I, I don't know, like to your point, it could have been that he had a hole out in front of the gate and rear tire hopped when he came out of the gate and just didn't lay the traction to the ground and get him where he needed to be. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't look at that as an excuse, I look at that like, hey, you're one of the best riders in the world and you need to know where to put yourself against these guys and also...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep. No, I, I agree. You got it. You have to put yourself in a good position, um, off the line. Doesn't matter what track, what, what, what, what conditions. I mean, in this field, you have to start up front. And when we, so we say it every time we know everybody knows it's like their starts are so critical, so critical.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, that's a, that is a tough one. You know, just take 450 guys, for example. It's hard for our veterans and the guys that have been in this sport for a long time to make it through 17 rounds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it's definitely tough. Uh, I think that I've questioned that myself. You know, I've tried to run it through my head. What would be the scenarios? Is it good? Is it bad? Would it be better? Uhm, on one hand, I do think that it would be cool to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To combine, maybe not all 17, but make it a 12 race series or a 10 race series. I don't really know, but once again,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have the, the program works very well how it works, right? Having, having the 250 class and the 450. So you can't have them run like a 12 round series or a 10 round series. You got it. If you're going to do it, you got to have them there every single weekend. All of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it would take a long time or not long, but a fair amount of time to, to get these riders to change their thinking. And, and why I say that is, is, is you see these eight race, these eight races that these guys do, it is, it is kind of every race is so, so, so critical. Um, they might hang it out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just don't know if the, if the, if the, if that class is ready for that. It's, it's, you know, it's just like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it's definitely, it's very tough. Not to say they couldn't do it, not to say if they said next year, hey, we're running all 17 rounds and in three or four years, their mentality changes. They're, they're the way they think of these races kind of changes and they, they're in it for the long haul. But like, if you were to just say, hey, next year we're going 17 rounds, I think you're going to have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're going to have a lot of the members in that field that may not make it through 17 rounds with just nagging injuries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And being able to, you know, sustain that much pressure, that much exertion for 17 rounds, uhm, in the 250 class. It's, it's a huge difference. It really is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It added cost to your point, like I know they race outdoors with four riders, but now you're doing four riders in Supercross that would probably really spike the cost of those teams of the 250 teams that aren't on the same budget as a 450 team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Open pits and, and you know, your experience with Supercross when it is, when, when it is a little bit warmer is, is obviously much nicer, right? So uhm, definitely looking forward to this weekend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I agree man, I'm uh, I'm looking forward to it. Get those guys back out there and uh, kinda see who's gonna establish taking this west coast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I'm bias, I'm going for the hometown hero, Levi Kitchen. Uhm, I'd like to see him, him, him finally, uh, kind of get some more wins under his belt and, and take control of this thing. But right now it's, it's free game for anyone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, yeaah, yeaah, we did. Yeaah, I'm hearing some good things from the Triumph side. You guys out there at Gatorback was, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good to see all that stuff out there, get the media on those new bikes and get those, uh, ran through. So, but yeah, I was able to watch the, watch Daytona. I thought it was, uh, I thought we had some really good racing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, man, I know the points are still pretty close, but it seems like we always talk about Daytona and where this falls into the season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is from here on out. And I think that's kind of what we saw. You know, the, like you said, the cream always rises to the top and Daytona is a place that's going to do that. And that's, that's, that's what I saw over the, over the weekend on the broadcast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, so I'll start with the 450 class.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes and no. I, I think that Eli, that was probably Eli's, one of Eli's strongest rides to date of this, of this championship season of the championship chase.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, he rode really well, but as per, switch to the lights class really quick, yes, I do believe that the conditions that Tom faced and all the riders that they faced on Saturday night, I think that if anything,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tom was going to probably feel the most comfortable kind of on those conditions. Those a little bit more sloppy, a little more slippery, deeper conditions, the track breaking down. It was very much more of like a.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I don't want to say European track, but, but it's not our typical Supercross track. So I kind of figured coming into this, if he put himself in a great position, he would be on the box. Uhm, and like we saw,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I do think that the track, the conditions, it probably favored somebody like, like Tom, uhm, because he's not as experienced as somebody like Jett. I think Jett had the opportunity to, uh, I mean, sorry, Eli had the opportunity to win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, back to the pass really quick. He capitalized, made the pass quick on Eli. Uhm, and then Chase just, like you said, didn't really know that he was there potentially or that close. Chase goes to the outside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and Jet was able to capitalize and make two passes literally within a hundred feet of each other. So, uhm, Jet was on rails. He was able to, uh, knock down that quad to, I know Eli had said in the presser that he was bummed on himself to not take the risk, uh, to jump that sooner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To then sit, be able to really, really sit behind somebody and make that move. So I do think the quad was, was pretty crucial. A fair amount of guys were doing it, uhm, until it really got kind of nasty, but, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but I think that he, he was there, right? He, I thought he, he rode well. He, he, he was able to put some pressure on those guys. Jett obviously got, got through them pretty quick and bridged that gap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, but with the longer motos, like, like, like, I know it's still 20, but very, very, um, uh, taxing track.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought it was, I thought it was a strong ride for Eli. I mean, I still consider him, I'm not, I'm not pulling him out of the championship roster just yet. I think there's still more in the tank there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's a, you know, I know I saw some rumblings back and forth, like we're watching our replay. When they do their hot lap, you can see coming behind the gate there where all the mechanics are standing for anybody that's watching our replay right now. It's nasty, it's muddy, it's sticky, so I know they can burn their tire off, uhm, which I think I might have probably


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, out of, got his hands and fingers out of the way there. So that was luckily there. But no, it's a lot of chaos. It's, it's already enough chaos. The nerves are through the roof when you're, when you're on the line there and everything's going perfect, let alone scrambling to, to, uh, to get the, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought actually his gate drop into the first turn and even half way through the first turn he salvaged very very well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and then he actually ran into the side of Chase Sexton, uhm, kinda as that turn makes the second left hand turn. Like he's in a great position right now, right there. Essentially,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First, second or third, depending on how he comes out, but then Chase was able to just kind of chop him off as, as Jet was also going wide and he had to get on the brakes there. So great salvage by Jet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, to, to, to be able to deal with all of that mishap and all of that chaos going on right behind him, right on his rear wheel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and then to literally have his mechanic get the, the, the cover off of the tire and then the board drop within, I don't know, three to five seconds. So, good, good salvage there. Uhm, good on the mechanics because that's, that's a gnarly, gnarly position to be in. But they were able to, they were able to rally around it and get it off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, I think, uh, obviously if you're, if you're going into that situation, you know, you're going to probably change your rear tire. One thing that we would do is if it had to do with anything of goggles or anything to do with like taking a little extra time behind the line is if you do do the parade lap, you kind of want to,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can give yourself another, at least, you know, 30 or 30 seconds to one minute before, before you're dealing with this fire drill, you know. So maybe that's something that Jett and the team will learn, right? Like if you're gonna, if we're gonna make a move, if we're gonna change a tire like that, if we need that extra time,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Take the hot lap, but make sure the hot lap is done at a decent pace so that when you come in back to the starting line, you are the first one or second or third, but upfront to where you have that extra 30 to a minute potentially as the slower guys are rolling around the track, kind of really looking at it. You give yourself that extra little bit of time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, to start it off, you know, Ricky is his, to his name, he's got three hole shots this year, average starting position around fifth place. Laps led to this season, 81, substantially more than


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, then, then the rest of the field. So yes, to, to, to some of these mishaps. Uhm, I think this, those are things you're seeing that you're, that's, that's, that's, that's in this 450 class. That's a 17 round series.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, and then you have the super, super motocross after that. So this is, this is what we're seeing as, you know, when it comes to the big boy class, the major.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the workload that the 450 class brings, and he's still able to have the best record so far. So yes, with a little bit of, a little bit of uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Jett's in this for the long haul. He's going to, he's gonna be hard to, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To, uh, to beat for this championship, I will say. It's, it's, he's got a 10 point lead now on Coop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, on web and, uh, you know, let's, let's see what he can do with that. If he can start stretching this sucker out, he's got a 10 point lead and we're coming, we're starting to close down to the end of this series. So, uhm, we're going to have to see some amazing rides from Eli from Chase and especially from Coop if they want to stay in, stay in this box.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, yep, yep. No, I think, you know, that's the difference you're seeing in uhm, you know, maybe, maybe it's the age gap, it's just the, the, the uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The maturity between the two, you know, like, and Eli said, like, like, like you said, he, he, he's bummed at himself for not, you know, pushing that next to that next to the limit there, getting that quad down. What I do think could have happened is if he would have gotten that quad down and he kind of would have got his mojo back or got that, you know, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess the, the re-lit of the fire, uhm, I think, and he could've kinda got into a zone. Maybe that would've, that would've pushed Eli to, uh, you know, just start to, to go a little bit quicker on the rest of the track, cause now he's got a huge, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, obstacle out of, out of, out of the way, out of his head, you know, cause that was a huge, huge time difference. And to go quad there, I'd say half a second, maybe a second by that whole end of that straightaway. So it was a, it was a huge, um, huge benefit, benefit to jump that. So on the rest of the track, he looked,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, definitely, dude, I think, you know, a lot of the races are, are from Texas East right now. Um, and, and a lot of, and a few, quite a few new stadiums coming up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, and if they're open stadiums, you always have a chance for weather and we've already saw, we've had two, two pretty gnarly mud races already this year. So, uh, you know, and that's what, that's, it's a tough spot to be in if you're Eli, right? Cause it's either, you have to either start winning or you're then, or you are,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, let's say if he was, he was eight, five points out, you know, get a bit, the gap's a bit closer where you, like you said, you can't afford to take a second, you can't afford to take a third, but right now it's kind of a critical situation where he either needs to, he needs to start winning and just straight up beating Jett to close that points gap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I 100% agree, I have up on my notes here, AP with, with the, with the.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, big crash and a, and a massive loss of points. You saw that he was in this game. He was in this title fight up until Daytona and now we're looking at points right now and he's down 28 to Jett. Uhm, substantial.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Loss of points this last weekend at Daytona, uh, to your point that, that, uh, anybody behind, um, Eli there, basically life support, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's, it's not, it's because you're not racing against just one guy. He's the, each of those guys have three or four that they have to go through before even bridging the gap to, to jet. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's kind of a transition pun, but the guys that are in it for the long haul, the jet, the Eli, the chase, the cooper, uhm, those guys are still focused on supercross and those guys aren't going to have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, over the course of the 20 minutes, just lost, you know, lost a position or two, and then just lost touch with, with, uh, with Jet for sure, and then Eli obviously, so, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, obviously with Daytona being as tough as it was, him coming off the hand injury, uhm, you know, second, first would have been better, but he, he, he rode well. And I think if that was, if you want to call it a salvage race, you can call it a great salvage ended up on the podium.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, they're, they're, if this is true, if they are exercising, um, KYB internals, um, on that WP, uh, fork, um, you know, look, I know a lot of, I, I've done this in the past, like we've tried parts that-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, internals or a part, let's call it. Uhm, and if we see any, uh, benefit or if it is better, uh, we like it better, whatever the case may be, then they'll take it back to the drawing board and either copy it or, you know, make it, uh, improve it from where it's at, uhm, and go back and test it and things like that. So, uhm, it shows you where these, these companies


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where their minds are at and where their heads are at.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For how much they, they want to win this championship. They're, they're willing to try anything uhm, for these riders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that last little bit of time that you have before the gate drops, uhm, to me that is, that shows the mental side of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jet, also somebody like Cooper, like you get backed into a corner. Jet was backed into a corner on the line. He didn't let it affect him. He salvaged a great start. I know there's other riders on the line that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That were to be dealing with all of that outside noise, trying to pull that cover off the tire would have botched their start. So, to your point about CooperWeb,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, on the track, he's made, put himself in good position and he's made really good moves and the mentally tough, strong part of these riders, in my opinion, is how, it goes into how many attacks can you fend off, you know, like if you watch, if you go,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those are the types of things is how many, how many times can Cooper, uhm, withstand the attacks. And that's I think what makes somebody really mentally strong. Uhm, you know, be able to keep fighting, keep coming back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, I can remember watching days, you know, uh, yourself, Ricky and James or yourself and Chad, you know, like I, looking back, I knew Chad only had two or three advances. Uhm, and after that he was going to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I think that to me, looking at a mentally tough rider is, is how do they handle all these things? Yet they, if it takes somebody to come in and kind of kick them in the ass and fire them up and get them going, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think that's an emotional decision. I think that, uh, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was, a lot of us were raised that way with being, you know, kind of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, having our parents or our team managers or our mechanics kind of lighten a fire under us. Sometimes you get into a funk at these races. You got people pulling at you at 10, 20, 30 different directions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and it's game time and if you can come down to the floor and you can have your, you know, your, your mental side of you put together, uhm, that's what's mentally, mentally tough and for, for as many races as we have in a row.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I mean, yeaah, there's always a chance of it shrinking, but as of right now, 10 point gap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I think it's going to, I mean, speculation, right? I do think that the points are probably going to stay very close if not extend. I don't know who's going to extend it at this point, but I don't see it coming down to the last round with only 10 in between.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been there many many many times, raced there many times, was able to win I think three, three of the times that I ever raced there. Uhm, I don't know if I've ever seen it this packed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, there was so many people up on the, up on, up on the NASCAR track and, and that side of the field. And uhm, you know, it's, it's a bummer. I mean, I'd like to see, I just wish this would have, they would have waited for every motorcycle to get off the track.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just a, it's not a good look. It's not a good look for us. It's not a good look for AMA and all the above. Uhm, you know, it's a live racetrack, fans, like, you know, you gotta...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That'd be smart. You gotta be smart, you know, you don't wanna, like I've been reading some stuff and how this could change things is now they may not let the stands actually, or the fans on the track, you might have to now be in the stadium, actually in the stadium seats to keep this from happening. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you're gonna ruin a good thing that Daytona has by, by, uh, having the fans be able to get that close to the track behind those K-Rails. Uhm, so I hope it, I hope it stays the same. Uhm, but, you know, it's good to see the passion, it's good to see how, you know, how our fans are, are, are so involved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, it's, it was kind of a dumb move. Um, whoever was the one that, the, the, the, the first domino that fell jumping the fence, you know, it just opened the floodgates. So, um, like I said, I'd like to see it, but I just wish they would have waited till, till, till every bike was, was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, right? You're talking jets, uh, yeaah. You would have pulled that thing when you jumped onto the grate itself. The point of that is to keep the tire clean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, I think it was good. It didn't affect, uh, like you said, it didn't affect any of the two riders either side of him. Uhm, and like, the biggest, what I saw was obviously Jet and he's very aware of his surroundings and as a rider and so much time, seat time on these motorcycles. We all are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, a tornado sitting behind you or a solar eclipse and you wouldn't know what's going on when you're sitting on the line there. So, uhm, I think it was the right move.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The cover off those tires is on the line. It just got, went down, went down way too far into the, into the, uh, time of where the mechanics are supposed to leave the riders alone. But it is what they had to do. That's what we're watching right now. We're watching Jet's mechanic try to strip the tire off of the, the, the,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, Tom, Tom rode good, put himself in a great position, obviously off the, off the start through the first turn. Uhm, and then we, we, we saw his pass on Cameron, you know, big mistake by Cam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, in that rhythm section, the rhythm section that caught out lots of guys, AP crashed there, uhm, that was the one that Eli didn't jump the quad in, so it was a tough, tough rhythm section, but he was able to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean he had the speed, right? That was, that's what I see is consistency in the speed and he kept himself right there with Cameron to capitalize on a mistake like that Cameron just made as we're watching on the replay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, this guy's no slouch, you know, I think he's a two-time MXGP, uhm, 250 champ.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, and like we kind of started off in the beginning of the show, like the Daytona is not a typical supercross track. I thought if, if he's going to do, uh, well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And also, because we had the rain, the Daytona didn't...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Develop like it can sometimes. I didn't see a lot of square edge holes. I didn't, sure the track was rough. It was ruddy. It was gnarly. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it was a little bit different. It wasn't as, to me it wasn't as high speed as in the past, uhm, uh, in, in, as, as other past races at Daytona there. Uh, so I think,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All that kind of maybe, maybe worked into his favor. You know, it wasn't a mud race. It was a technical.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, and, and then further on, he never made any mistakes for that 15 minutes and landed himself on top of the step at, at probably one of the most prestigious supercross races. I mean, as anybody knows Daytona, if you're going to win any race, Daytona is one supercross race you want to try to win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you know, look, he, he, he got unbelievably lucky. I mean, if he would have not cleared the triple with his body, um, 100% circumstances would, would have been different. Um, looks like he just cross-rutted up there. He looked like the front wheel was one rut over to the left, the rear. And I'm assuming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are probably running the scoop tire. Uhm, and, and at that time, you could see as he came out of the turn there, it was a little bit, uh, had some acceleration. You could see the red clay kind of coming through where the, where the, where the grass and sand, uhm, meet the red clay kind of where the takeoff space of the takeoffs are. And, and those, those, those, uhm, those, uh, those paddle tires, let's call it Dunlops,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Clear the jump with his body, luckily. Uhm, but yeaah, I mean coming off of a crash like that, you know, that's, this is one of those scenarios that mentally tough, that I would consider mentally tough. Uhm, I think


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hayden salvaged his knight pretty, pretty well. Uhm, but I can tell you


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, the skill level that these guys have. So obviously he comes in there, he, he gets on the brakes, he jumps that table to table, the rear gets loose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, once again I'd like to know if they were running that paddle tire because under braking it can get loose like that and flip around on you. But just the sheer fact of him not either tightening up and kind of like trying to manhandle the motorcycle and trying to still save going into the rut.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He, he, he felt it obviously coming around as he's on the brakes, the bike flips around, and it just obviously happened to, to, to land in a position where the bike was laid over enough


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Part of this is luck for sure, uhm, part of this is 100% a little bit of luck, but the other thing is too is, is having the strength, having the, the, the whereabouts, the knowabouts of, hey,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm going to, yeah, the instincts of just like making a split second decision. There was no time for Hayden right there just to be like, okay, oh, this is what's happened. No, this was, he was shooting from the hip and almost hoping for the best, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's what the leg strength, being so intuitive on the motorcycle, the instincts on the motorcycle, and that's what


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He sees Pierce out of the corner of his eye going up the inside. He, he salvages, uhm, uhm, you know, fending off that pass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, to, to, to write home about, but he is only three points out of the championship at this point, I believe. 49 to, to 52 is what we have for, for, for points gap. Hayden's 49 and Max Anstey was 52. So very, very well in it. And Tom Villale back in it, right? Not back in it, but, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One step, two steps closer with 49.2, Hayden and Tom with 49, Pierce with 51, and Cameron with 51, and obviously Max Anstey with 52. So, man, we got a really close, close points battle and race with, with, with these two 50 guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I think everybody, look, I think that, uh, Max, obviously not a, not a stellar performance from, from him with a, with an eight on the night there at Daytona. So he's,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If anybody's in critical kind of mass right now, I feel like, like, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially being in the position that Max is in, like being in, holding the red plate, he, he, you know, if he can hold onto this thing for multiple races, he'll be in a position that he's, he's never been into. Uhm, let's call it, I, I, you know, on, I think that's the firepower on the team. Yeah, firepower Sunday, yeah. Yeah, firepower. So, uh, you know, sem,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd call it a kind of a good effort, but privateer effort and being in a submission is unbelievable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My point here is, is, is, I'd like to see Max have the consistency and still put in some of these good rides and bring it down to the finish. I know he's, he's leading the points right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But what, this is going to be uncharted territory for, for, for Max. And why I say that is, is that if we get down to two or three rounds to go and he's in this points position that he's in right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This, it's gonna be a whole set of different circumstances for somebody like Max. Uhm, that's never been in this championship fight that has a chance to win this East Coast Championship at the last round. Uhm, the pressure, the, the mental, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's, that's what we're gonna have to find out later to see, later to come, is if he can, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Keep himself in this position to win. Cause I mean, it'd be amazing to have a privateer backed, uhm, Max Anstey win an East Coast Championship. It's like I said, I think last year we talked, I talked a lot about it last year. His career is backed with a vengeance for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. That's why I thought it was a, it was a, it was, like I have them in my notes right here, like, uh, uh, Max didn't ride a, didn't ride a stemler main event, rode a great heat race, but has to rebound after this Daytona, has to rebound, get himself back in, in, inside the podium position, if not his, you know, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look, Cameron's always got the speed and we all know he's, he's, he's probably


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's, we all know he's the hardest fighter. He's got the most heart, probably out of anybody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, maybe that gets, he gets a little ahead of himself in that department and that's where some of these mistakes come from. But on that tough track that Daytona offered, uhm, yes, he did make a mistake while he was winning, uhm, costly mistake that cost him the win. I think he could have won.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, he could have won, uh, that 250 main event if it wasn't for this, this mistake in the rhythm section that we're watching currently on the replay. Uh, but yes, he is one point out of the lead, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd say uhm, he's another one to keep your eye on. Uhm, I still think we have some good races from him. Some, some wins. There we go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, there you go. MaxAnstey, 52. Cameron, one point down. Pierce, one point down. Tom Vielle, three points down. Sitting in fourth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Hayden sitting in fifth with three points down. Also, Cody Shock only four points down, sitting in sixth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dax Bennett, sitting in 7th with 8th, so man, do we got, we, it's so close, all the way to 7th is so close. Even, I mean, if you go back to the hammocker at in 8th, sitting in 8th with 13 down. I mean, everybody on this top 10 list right here is eligible to, to potentially win this championship. We all know that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, it's, man, it's, it's a really tough one, uhm, you know, Tony, it's, it's, look, we all like to be behind the gate, uhm, in some way or form.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, because look, myself, I'll use myself as an example. I'm out of shape. Uhm, I have, I don't ride as much as I'd probably like to. So, but the problem is, is we can still haul the mail. We can still...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have all these race wins and all these titles to our name and that's great, but it's, it's just like anything. If you don't keep doing it every single day at these speeds, catastrophic things can happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and then year one turns around, it's like, hey, we're all going to be out here hanging out, having a good time. And then year two is like, this guy starts training a little bit earlier. And then three, it's like pretty soon, then you're in the, you're, you're back in that, that situation where you're, you're training to race. And that's, that's what we did and not what we do anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But for some reason, maybe it's just because I grew up with, the last Supercross, uhm, you know, of the season was always in Vegas. Uhm, yes, Vegas is tiring, but it's also, I think it's a good place to have a finale like this. And I'd love to see the banquet come back, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, maybe we should put it out there at the Speedway and the Drag Strip out there in Vegas. So it should be really good. I'm looking forward to see the track that they build there and then to have it the finale. I mean, there's not a better city, I don't think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it's, it's definitely going to be really, really interesting to see. And I, I, you know, I, I can just say off of the strategy I've stopped in my head right now would be, I'm gonna start.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, the, the playoffs with, with the intent of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, uh, either a mistake or you don't win one, right? Because as you said, the points compound and that's where it gets, that's where it gets uhm, it gets tricky to figure out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I like, I like how it goes across the starting, the start straight there. I kind of bit on an angle. Looks like you're going to have some good speed, some good passing points. Got the big finish line here into a right-hander.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's see how many whoops we have in this. I know that the track map's not, not the same, but looks like a good set of whoops section here. Uhm, hopefully that'll, those are decent size. And another nice rhythm section, triple on, triple, triple, double into the turn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, man, Dirtworks has been doing a great job with the track layouts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, obviously the same, same person, but through the course. You can only do so many things. So these guys are coming up with something new and different. Uhm, and good raceable tracks is good to see. I'm stoked. That looks like a good, uh, good raceable supercross track.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, if they do have some of that weather while they're building, that always makes for a, uhm, a sponge, right? So, uh, it, it definitely can be gnarly for, for the racers once they do build the track. So that's going to be interesting to see because that, that dirt can be, that, that can play a big factor in how, how the conditions going to race on Saturday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, it's not too much, just, uh, just kid programs, baseball. We're heavily into that right now. So, uh, that's about it, man. Just enjoying the time before I head off for another Yamaha event, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi folks, Lee Diffie from NBC Sports here. If you truly enjoyed what you just watched, you can get more news, interviews, and highlights by subscribing to the Motor Sports on NBC YouTube page. You can get it all, so go for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome to title 24 presented by NBC sports. I am Ricky Carmichael. I am solo today. My cohost Ryan Villapoto was in the UK.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All last week, he is flying back home today. He was at the, uh, vet MX of nations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I thought he was supposed to race. He didn't race, but I was following him along on social media and he had a good time. So, uh, anyhow, he will be back next week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before we get going, like always, we gotta thank our fantastic sponsors, uh, Quadlock Case, United Motorsports, and Boxo USA. We appreciate you guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of excitement and uhm, you know, we wouldn't be here without you guys. So you are a huge part of the success of Title 24. Hopefully everyone is enjoying it. We got a great show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, today, since RV isn't here, uh, I'm having to hold it down, but we got a special guest we'll have a little later on in the show. Uh, Eli Tomac. Eli Tomac is going to join us and looking forward to that. So, uh, that'll be here shortly after we.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do a little wrap up from, uh, Iron Man and, uh, as expected.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we'll start with the, uh, two fifties. You know, it was going to be a long shot for Justin Cooper for sure. And, uh, it was interesting. Certainly at the beginning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And as you can see right here, you're watching a replay of that first moto of the new newly crowned 250 MX champ.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you know, it was a, it was a long fought battle and I gotta tell you, like, just passed halfway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Somewhat self induced, he got a bad jump and then when you do that, then he locked bars and went down. So that was one DNF and then his bike signed off at Southwick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that was 50 points and then at that time, then you had the rookie sensation, uh, Hayden Deegan coming up through the pack. So nevertheless, I'm like, oh man, this is going to get a dicey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I didn't realize it until, when was it, we were at the last race that I did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With, uh, with James, or no, was it before Bud's Creek?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, he was, he was injured. So, uh, and I didn't know that. So anyhow, he got healthy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, he came out with a bang the last, uh, the last two rounds and really, uh, he, he performed at a level that he needed to at a crucial time. He was able to gain the points back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, it was, it was, it was well deserved certainly, but the rookie Hayden Deegan did well. And of course, Justin Cooper hung in there. Uh, the biggest thing that I would take away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From uhm, there's two things that I'm taking away from the 250 class. Is that is uhm, Joe Shimoda.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I expected the rides that Joe had in Ironman, I expected that more often.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the reason that I thought that is because of going off of, of how well he did last year and how well he did and everything that he learned in that championship fight with, with Hunter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I just, I just expected him to, uh, to do what...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To do exactly what he did. Now I know he had an injury and he took a lot of time off, so maybe that was, maybe that was part of it, but nevertheless, uh, he did a great job, uh, the weekend sweep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was crazy because there was a lot of things, uh, on the line and I go like for Kawasaki. I think this, what, this was one, this was one of the years that, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He wasn't like, Kawasaki hadn't won a race in, in a year and like, like 20 or 30 years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uh, anyhow, uh, actually, and we go back to the starts on the 250 and think about seeing those, uh, monster energy pro circuit bikes, um, upfront the last couple of weeks. And, uh, Mitch Payton said they found something, uh, that helps us starts and overall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was one of my big takeaways, uhm, from Iron Man on the 250. Hated seeing Cooper go down. Justin Cooper, that is, uh, on the first, on the first corner. And here's a replay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's up, uhm, he's up front, he's in front of Hunter. Hunter got a horrible start. You're gonna see at the top of your screen right here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just kind of bottlenecks and he gets caught up. What I believe happened there is if you watch it in slow motion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, they go into that left-hander and it's super ruddy and the rut, the rut just like kind of grabbed him and spit him off. One of the riders, I couldn't tell from the replay, but it spit him off and he actually went the opposite way as the corner, which is easy to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obviously with the pressure and everything that has went on this, this, this promoter cross championship season, I like, I thought,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like there would, I thought he would be a little bit better the second moto. Obviously doing what he had to do the first moto to lock it up. You can go see right there he's holding up that number one plate. You can see how happy he is. I mean,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you're in that situation, you know, you just think of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, everything comes back to you, I believe, and all those moments and the journey to get there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think probably that's maybe was going through his mind. I'm sure today he's been, um, it's really set in for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, then the second mode, I'm like, oh dude, and the reason that I think this is because this is how I was and I shouldn't say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just because how I was, this is how everyone else should be, but I thought that he would dominate or at least run up front in that second moto.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because of having that, uh, that, that pressure of the championship off of your shoulders. And it was one of those, uh, motos that I thought he could go out and enjoy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, go out and enjoy a race for the lead and not have to worry about anything other than your safety and just, just go relish the moment, go have fun and, and, and be you on the motorcycle. Uh, that didn't happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I have no doubt he will be ready for the SMX playoffs here in a couple weeks, uh, September 9th at Charlotte. So that'll be a lot of fun to, to watch. Uhm, shifting gears to the 450.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No surprise, you know, I feel like the whole series, we tried building these narratives of why Jet Lawrence, uh, would, would not go undefeated, but you just, you, you just, when, when you take a step back and you look at the position he was in the first two rounds, when he was a true rookie, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, he, he never, dude, he never, he never wavered. He answered the bell all the time. Uhm, Chase did well. It was unfortunate to see Chase go down early in the season. I felt like, uhm, you know, Chase was only going to get better and, and I think that Jett would have been challenged a bit more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but nevertheless that didn't, that didn't happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jett went out there, he did what he always does, uh, he locked it up, very special, especially to do as a rookie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, would love to hear what he has to say about that and what I, I want, I often wonder what his, what his biggest challenges were. Now that the championship is over, uhm, it'll be fun to see, uhm, it'll be fun to see that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a, this is a great view. You can see the emotion. I mean, the guys won the championship and the only thing left was to go undefeated. This is after the second moto. Uhm, Jett just right there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Clenching his hands, celebrating after the undefeated season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And how hard it is to do that, pounding his chest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything that can go wrong, you're really defying the, uh, uh, odds of physics, or the laws of physics, I should say, sorry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, his talent is incredible. You may not like him, but you gotta, uh, you gotta respect him. Uh, what he did against the greatest guys in the world outside of Eli Tomac. Super tough to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uh, it was, it was cool to see that and the respect I believe that he got from his competitors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it was a hard fought battle. Chase gave it his all. There's at times where Dylan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Ferrand has started to, uh, show some, show some hope. Uh, hated to see Dylan go down in the second moto there. Uh, just, uh, made a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Simple mistake, uhm, they watered the track and he was running that outside line. And as he did that, looked like the rear end started to step out, boom, cut back and he high sided and went over and it stinks for Dylan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, opportunity for him to go to HEP Suzuki. So we'll see what, uh, we'll see what happens, but I got a couple questions that I want to answer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, before we get to a special part of the show today, and I'm just gonna rip off, uhm, rip off a few, a few here. So, uh, let's hear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dweezy119, which race do you think Jet will lose first in the playoffs? Well...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I think he has a high motivation for a couple things. Uh, he wants to, uh, obviously you have to assume he wants to win the, uh, SMX world championship. Uhm, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not in the predicting business. Uh, I have no idea. I mean, I can tell you he's got a lot of momentum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, uhm, it'll be interesting to see, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know how he is able to handle the pressure from say a guy like Ken Roxton, a guy like uhm, uh, Cooper Webb, uh, both guys, you know, that sat out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We talked about it on title 24, RV and I did last week and you know, I think it's either going to be better or it's going to be worse. Uh, I don't think the grass is always greener on the other side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] KTM's got a bunch of great guys over there, but nevertheless, I don't see it being any easier for Chase, that's for sure, especially when you think of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tomac coming back, Cooper Webb, uh, being aboard that monster energy star racing Yamaha team. I think the HRC team is going to be pretty tough. Uhm, I like what I'm seeing from Jason Anderson as well, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe, I, I, certainly not me. And the reason that I say that is because, uh, I'm not as talented and don't have as much bike skill as the other three guys. What would be fun? You know what I would love to do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would love to watch 2008 Stu, 2013 RV and 2023 Jet square off and me do the race call. That would be a lot of fun for me. So, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know I didn't give you the answer that you wanted because I don't make predictions. I give my analysis. Uhm, we appreciate that. Uh, let's see here. Sharik Kubler.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Will we see others adopting it? Great question. We talked about that last week, uh, on title 24 also.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not a massive technique guy, uhm, just because I wasn't taught that. I was taught to do what you gotta do right, how you gotta ride to, to, to win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I feel that certain people are going to adopt that style.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, like I said, I think some people are gonna adopt that style, but, but not everyone. Jerry underscore seven one four.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This person asks, in your opinion, can Jack continue the perfect season or will SMX be where it ends?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, he has the, uhm, I think he has, he certainly has the talent to do it. He has the momentum on his side. Uh, I, I think it'll be a little bit harder for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, just for the mere fact that I feel like it being a hybrid track, there are guys coming into this, uhm, that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, have some extra motivation. The stakes are a bit higher. Uhm, I don't think like kind of what R.V. said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you get a bad start coming from behind, it's gonna be a little bit harder. So we'll see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of getting it right is going to be harder. And I just think there's more things to, that you have to be mindful of. So we'll see, we'll see what happens. Good question though. Corsa771, thoughts on Hunter moving up to the 450 next year. He's going to be a, a big surprise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like, I said this before already, I like Hunter Lawrence on a 450. I think his riding style suits the bike. Uhm, it's going to be a lot of fun. I think it's going to be great. I think the HRC Honda team is going to be stacked just like the Monster Energy Yamaha team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mecham21, do we think Hayden is going to use frustrations to pull off playoffs?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think he's going to use his frustrations to pull off the playoffs, but what I do think, uhm, is I think that hybrid


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, with, with some super cross motocross sprinkled in both.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I think if you're a dude that is willing to take chances and you like that high pace, and where precision isn't always key, uh, I think it fits, it plays right into his hand. Uhm, with, based on what we've saw all season long, how well he did in Supercross, how well he did in Pro Motocross Championship, now the SMX Playoffs, I think, uhm, I think it's his new light for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think he's going to take that momentum, not frustration, and try to win this, uh, SMX World Championship in the 250, the division.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so great question. We appreciate all your questions. Like I said, with RV not being here, uhm, and, and having a special guest with Eli, we're going to spend more time with, with Eli. So, uh, don't, don't have as many questions to, to knock out. Uhm, but before we get, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To our, uh, special guest with Eli, let's go to the quad lock question of the week and it kind of coincides with, uh, the SMX points. So we can get, uh, the SMX points up on the screen. Our quad lock question of the week is from Russ219.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Russ219 asks, can you confirm the point system going into the playoffs? And Russ, here you go. So, the points do reset.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Playoff round number one in Charlotte in two weeks time, September 29th.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chase Sexton leads the field with 25 points. Aaron Plesinger, 22 points. Jett Lawrence is in third.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, it's a real low forth, so on and so forth. So there you go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, on, uhm, on Title 24, we will get you locked up with, uh, linked up with Quadlock to send you some, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, product, I guarantee you, you will like that. Make sure when you get it, you send a post, tag, uh, tag title 24, tag all of us, and, uh, we love seeing the interaction. So, to answer your question, uhm, I, I love how they're resetting it. It's gonna be interesting, uhm, to say the least, and, uh, it's something that, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When this concept was released and talked about last October at the LA Coliseum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there was a lot of speculation about it and it came at an interesting time, but it was something that I think now has a lot of value, but I don't know and I don't think that we all knew.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just what it was gonna amount to, say even back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And last October, even maybe January or February, but then I go to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Say halfway through the, uh, Monster Energy Supercross season, and then you, you start seeing the points stack up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you're like, hey, this thing might be bigger than what we anticipated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then as the Monster Energy Supercross series ends, then we go on to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the Pro Motocross Championship. Well then you start seeing guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now, now you can see the importance of it, wanting to be seated and be in that top 30. So you, so you make it to the playoffs and you could see everything starting to materialize and see the importance of being there and what this SMX playoffs was going to be like outside of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What it, what it's going to bring from a TV package standpoint and just what that does for our sport in general.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so, uh, I think it's awesome. I think it's fantastic. Uhm, I'm excited for it. I think, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was cool to see all the guys that were just lingering around the top 30 to come back and get those points, whether you're guys like Ken Roxton, whether you're guys like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cooper web at the beginning of the series or the guys closer to the bubble. You can see that that system is working and quite frankly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now everyone, you know, majority of the people is talking about it. And I think if you look at it from a positive light.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's working. Are there things that might need to be changed? Of course there are. Things take time, but there's no denying that a playoff system works better, uh, in all facets of sports. I think it works great even in NASCAR. I mean, I was at Daytona International Speedway this week for the regular, last regular season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there are so many guys on the bubble, uh, bubble. There's like 17 guys that if had an opportunity to win and if they won.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They raced their way, they were locked into the playoffs, and the anticipation was massive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now, they go into the playoffs this weekend in Darlington, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nevertheless, I think it's going to be just as great for, uh, SMX. I think that you're starting to see it work. It's only going to, in my mind, continue to get better. There's a lot of money up for grabs as we talked about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's thank our sponsors, uh, once again, United Motorsports, united motorsports.com. If you are in the, uh, Kentucky, Ohio region, they got six locations. Make sure you check them out. A quad lock case.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, four time Pro Moto Cross Champion, two time Monster NG Super Cross Champion, Eli Tomekkin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, special guest here on Title 24 today, our man Eli Tomac.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, that's fantastic. And I think before, before we came on air here, we were talking behind the scenes, everyone listening to, uh, to our podcast today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were talking about like, I feel like you go through peaks and valleys. Like that's how it was for my ACL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and Eli was sharing with me kinda, kinda the same thing. And is it like, I used, E.T., I used to get scared sometimes like, oh no, like something's going wrong or is this, is this thing ever gonna get better?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, is uh, have you been doing it close to home? Like your, your rehab center, is it, is it far from your house or no?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's good. You, um, do you have any timetable? Have they told you when you get back on the bike or does like, are there certain marks that you have to hit? Or is it like a month, like time sensitive thing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's how it was like, I was talking to your teammate, actually, Romano and his, he had his ACL done, as you know, and some, some are like six months, some are four months. I think like what you're saying, like six months, I think you're, you can be full gas, I think as an average, at least for ACL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uh, Nick, so to like parallel, like mine was four and then Nick said his was six and he had heard four, but he said he got to the four month mark and he's like, dude, there's no shot. I'm ready. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think too, like along the journey of rehab and you've probably seen this as well as, and even like with your shoulders and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the, like the further along you get from your initial injury date and rehab, like everything, like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I don't know if I said this on the broadcast or whatever, or even after.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, with this time off, do you feel like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It'll help you, you know, going forward and like it was kind of a nice break. I know it sucks. It's crappy and all that crap. We know that, but looking back, you feel like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kind of like a, like a release almost or like a relief, like, okay, man, now I'm excited. I'm not burned out going into next year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's where I just figured like, because dude, you've been at the pinnacle for so long and, and specially.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the mental side of it, and I don't know, maybe you're different, like, but I, I just, like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know man, you've been like on the top these last couple years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and, and winning and winning and winning. It's like, dude, I didn't like, maybe the break might be okay and maybe he'll get another year out of it because.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's cool. I didn't know that, dude. I'm like, man, maybe...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe this time off will be good, you could spend some time with his kids, his family, do some stuff he's never done before, or just like, just kinda chill and not have that pressure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, I, I respect that thought. That's, that's good. That's good. I like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I said, you've been at it for so long, you've been so successful and just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People always up your, you know, just up your rear end, you know, just hounding you and I just figured that maybe the break would have been.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nice for you and then you can come into 2024 just like guns blazing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that is, but then yeah, yeah, I could see you're still young though. Well, cool. That's good. That, that makes me feel good, dude. And that like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I don't know if I've asked you this and I taught it like, I hate to keep saying this about like saying it on the broadcast, but when you, when you left Monster Energy Kaui and then you went to star Yamaha, I just like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot changed, I feel like, in your life. You know, you got married, you got kiddos. I mean, like, you were a different dude. And, like, what, what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like what was the change? Dude, you run up front all the time. You're like no worse than third. Like what? Like what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was that massive change other than the starts? What were the things like maybe we don't know about?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you think? Was it just the bike? Was it the team? Was it... I personally feel...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like your home life is epic and that just correlates to better results on the track, but tell us what it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, 100%. No, no, no, 100%. Dude, across the board.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's just like, like, oh my gosh. And people like ask me off outside everything like, dude, what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's he doing? Like what's he so, like, what was the change? I'm like, dude, other than like his, his starts are 10 times better. So that helps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then like, I mean, he's, he knows how to ride a dirt bike. That's never seen. He knows how to win championships, but it was just like, so I've always wondered that I never wanted to bug you on race weekends, but that's cool. That's good for, I think that's great for people to know. And it totally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when I, when I left there and then I went to Suzuki, it was, it was comforting. Those guys hadn't had much success, obviously at the 450 level.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, they had so much stuff. They were so prepared. They were like young little kids and they were willing to do anything and everything to give me what I wanted. Was it kind of, I guess what you're saying was a similar thing? It's a similar thing. Same thing happened and uhm. It's nice, isn't it? It's like, and it was nothing, it's nothing against.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Honda, you know, like dude, I have some great people. I'm sure you have, you're still great friends with the guys over at Cali, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just different, right? When you go somewhere like, man, it feels so good, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, I had a question for you. So you, you're, you're in a unique situation and you,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've been fortunate enough to race some of the best guys to ever do this from a stat standpoint, from wins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you've got to race chase the younger generation. Now you're going to, now you're going to get to race. You're going to get to race jet. And from your perspective.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is different from the approach of racing someone like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A guy like, a guy like Chase, like how do they race different? Like, and I'll give you an example. So for me, racing Stu.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would be completely different, like if I'm running second, you know, behind those guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or, or if I'm in front of them or if I'm in front of Reedy, it's just, my, my race strategy is completely different. So what is that like?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Racing someone like Ken or someone like Dunge. Like what, what is that for you? Like in a generation? I know it's a tough question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, it's frustrating at least. Well, I say that. I don't want to put words in your mouth. I'm looking at him like a guy like Reid, because Reidy was like that. You're like, dude, Reidy can start dead last and he's going to be on the podium.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or if you got a top three start, I'm like, oh boy, is it going to be tough tonight? You know, and then sometimes you just got to take second cause you don't have it depending on the style of track and all that stuff. And in it, like I would get so fired up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In my head I'm like, oh my gosh dude, and it just drives you nuts because you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's going to be on there, he's going to be there every single race.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why aren't you pumped? You won this Daytona Supercross like third year in a row. And you're like, well damn it. I was, I could have had a 20 point gap or gain. Now I'm leaving here with a six point gain. That's nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, what are you, so, so what, what I've learned in, like, when coming up, like racing MC,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then after MC it was going to be Pastrana.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then Pastrana, but he had other distractions, you know, he's doing X games and stuff too. So, I mean, he was awesome on a motorcycle, super fast, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I'm saying guys that were there basically the entirety of my career. So MC raced, he was super sound as we know. I mean, the guy's the king of supercross, 72 wins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was rock solid, never rode out of his comfort zone, super hard to beat for obvious reasons. But then like the next generation of Reedy was, he was like a version of MC, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A little bit faster, and then of course Stu was the next generation that I raced.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so I'd say basically three generations. And I noticed that each generation that was coming up,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They just, dude, they just, they were doing everything a little bit quicker. And so you, you had Dunge and then had Kenny for a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like do you feel the same? Like maybe those guys, like the younger dudes, yeah, you had, you had RD.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then now like Kenny's faster, can do more better things on a motorcycle. And then now you've raised Chase all last outdoor and then, and then super cross. Like, do you feel like, like there's just little nuances that they do faster? Cause that's how I felt and that's what it looks like. What do you think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, to watch, to watch you, to watch you, obviously you know how Chase races, you know how Dunge- or uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Kenny races, but now, you know, talk up, you know, thinking about Jet and how he races, and I'm assuming Hunter's going to be on the 450 also. I'm just guessing. I mean, I...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you look forward to racing Jet and what, like what he brings? Like the, the, I think it's going to make you even that much better. Myself personally, I just think where you're at in your career.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Learning from him, little things that he does, you probably go home, work on it, and, and it's, I just think it's going to be fun for you is what I should say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's how I was with Stu at the end of my career. I'm like, man, I'm going to try to work and see if I can do that to a safe extent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, do you look forward to that challenge, obviously?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you, dude, like, so you're a gnarly dude, right? 4MX 450 Premier Outdoor Championships. That is so gnarly, by the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was, was 20, like 22 and 0. Did you, did you even think you could, like Jack, could do that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think too, I think too, like, I don't know if you've spent much time with Jett.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I feel like he has a tremendous amount of respect for his, his competitors. And I could be wrong. I'm not down there on the gate with you guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, but just listening to him, he does, it seems like, and I think he was, he was bummed like when he got hurt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because like, he was like, dude, you're, you're the guy and he want no, no disrespect to chase, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know man, I, I like, I think he wanted to race you, you know, just cause you've been the guy since basically he's come into the thing, you, you and Coop, you know. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it'll be, I think myself personally, I think you'll have a lot of fun racing him. I think it'll be a new challenge because you know how everyone else races and that series, you know, we talked about it, you know, you know, where Ken's good at, you know, where he struggles at and the same with Chase. I think it, I think it's good. I think it comes at a, at a good time for you. And, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think it's, I think it's going to be fun. I, but that 22 and 0, like when you were racing Pro Motocross, did you ever...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like did you ever set out in the series to try to go undefeated or is it just about championships?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, I kept telling like on the broadcast, I'm like, dude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, everyone wants to win all the time and win every race, but when you think about going 20, you know, undefeated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, just didn't know what to expect, you know, when the whole, when the SMX, uh, world championship was announced last year, last October, and then now it coming to fruition and then watching all the points. I know you haven't watched all the races, the outdoor races this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But uhm, I had a qu- like I had some stuff written down, like what's your initial thoughts on how it'll turn out? Like, so for the track layout,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the track speed, like what, like what do you anticipate? What do you think it's gonna, gonna be like? Give me, give me like if you were training for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Charlotte coming up, how would your track be? What would it be like?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think everything is made, made to be tweaked a little bit. And as this being the first year, do you, how do you see like the points?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Working out and do you like the point system? How it's like single points, double points, triple points, maybe give someone an opportunity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To make up, uh, make up some points if they lose some the first round. Like, do you like that or does it not matter to you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's gonna be, dude, it's gonna be interesting. It's gonna be a lot of fun to watch, I think. I wish, obviously, you wish you were there, but we wish you were there also, but, uh, like it's gonna be interesting, Coop being back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it'll be more interesting having the other guys, you know, lining up like with Ken and Coop and some other dude. It'll be interesting. You know, I definitely feel like with the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To, do you like the two moto format, the two twenties plus one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like, like, I like it from a fan's perspective just cause I get to watch you, I get to watch you guys more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's just like, it's just fun for me to, to watch you guys in the shorter, the shorter races, like, you know, compared to motocross. I know it's going to be long for supercross, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. I think for the fans, it's good. And I think once you guys get used to it, it'll be good. And the cheddar is good, right? Another, another option.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll pull some strings and get you in the booth. I'm telling you, dude, you know what? You'd love it up there. No one would be messing with you. You got the best seat in the house up there, dude. You gotta come up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you think that, uh, Hunter was the favorite coming in or did you, did you have, you know, higher hopes for a guy like Justin Cooper or what about, what, what'd you think about Iron Man in general?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think, do you think it's because those guys are just so close in speed that like the starts are, are that important because like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what I wonder too, like they're so close in times and you look at them and to your point, you got a dude can go seventh the first moto and he can win the second moto or your guy goes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, like, I feel like that, that 5th to 12th place is, is just like musical chairs. That's what I feel like. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no individuality for sure. And I, it's funny, I was going to ask you about that because you, you didn't grow up in the facility, riding at a facility. I didn't, I don't think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For a while there up until like the last three years, I'm like, look at the guys that are winning. A lot of the guys that are winning. And when I say winning, like I'm talking multiple championships, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've come from, you know, just doing what they gotta do by theirself. They're motivated to go out there, race to stopwatch, challenge yourself on the practice track during the week, little stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, we all do it. I, I agree with you. I'm not saying that the, I think that the riding facilities are a great place for younger kids who don't maybe have their own private track. I think it- Correct.

[Assistant] In that regard, I think it's good, like on 80, stuff like that, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're right. I think there is a, there is an element to that to where all these guys, they do the same stuff. I mean, your teammates, for example, they ride together all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's fun because it's like watching an outdoor national, right? And they're all relatively close.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's what's so gnarly when you go to the race, some guys get it done, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What, what's your, what's your thought on your teammate? I got to ask you, Hayden, like, were you, were you surprised after you go back? And this is what I think, dude, you go back to Anaheim because you were there. I mean, I know you guys are in separate semis, but you've seen the dude from when you were coming here last year to where he is now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Were you surprised at his progression and how well he did and the situations that he was in? And you think about the learning curve. Did you, did you anticipate that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I, I, I, I did too. I mean, I go back to when you raised that futures race. You remember, I think, I don't know, was it might've been the second Anaheim you guys were at maybe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uh, yeaah, he fell down, just over trying, and then, what was it, like two weeks later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it was good. It was good to see it is pretty amazing too, but you just brought up a great point. Yeah. Like when you're born into.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being in that spotlight and having cameras around you, you really don't know any different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We answer a whole bunch of, uh, fan questions and all that fun stuff. And they were asking RV and I like, Hey, what would it take?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, like do you think someone asked if could, if Eli was racing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could uhm, could he have beaten Jett, you know, or would Jett have gone 24-0? And this is what we said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As we said that, and you don't even need to comment, but we said...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That we thought 100% he wouldn't have gone undefeated because there were moments and that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To, to go down to the checkered flag and to beat a guy like yourself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Meet a guy like Jett Lawrence or Ryan Dungy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or Ryan Villapoto, I'd say Dunjee because you raced him. It's those important times, those important laps, as you know, to where you're getting late in the race, the track is starting to deteriorate, maybe the bike isn't working as good on lap 13 as it was on lap 5.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you, you, you have to be there those last, that's those last four laps. And we were explaining to our viewers and our listeners about how you are just so rock solid and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That we never got to see that, you know, because Chase always dropped it, you know, right at those pivotal moments. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kudos to you. We, we thought that for sure you would have, uh, you would have stopped the streak without that have been a lot of fun to, to run. So it's been fun to watch your progression and that's why you are so strong and it's going to be a lot of fun to, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I watch you do. We're proud of you. Great job. Thank you for coming on today. Uhm, I'm glad rehab is going well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, we're looking forward to watching you, dude. I am super pumped for you. Really embracing it. You know, I wish that I'm happy for you to see all this success that you've had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, to see how well you're doing with a full blown family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know that jealous is the right word, but we wish we could have enjoyed the racing at the later years like you are now. You really seem like you're enjoying it, dude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, thank you again, Eli. You're a good man. You're a great champion. Glad everything's going well and we will, uh, we'll see you at LA, my man. That's right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you so much, uh, for Eli coming on. That was, that was fun. Always loved to, uh, talk with Eli, man. He's, he's a great guy and it's cool to see his progression. So he was, we're lucky enough that he came on today. Big, uh, weekend outside of two wheel sports as far as, uh, motocross goes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] High, wide and handsome on the USA channel. Then Sunday, MotoGP Grand Prix of Cataluna. That place is epic. Been there a couple times that Sunday at 1 PM.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eastern time, then 3 PM Eastern, NTT IndyCar Series in Portland. That's on NBC. I'll be checking that out and then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The chase for the championship starts 5.30 PM Eastern NASCAR Cup Series.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Darlington, that'll be on USA Network. Make sure you check that out. Those guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you haven't watched Darlington, you need to watch it. I mean, they got all this space. Lately, they've been running a little bit lower, but they run right up by that wall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've raced there, uh, once or twice in the truck series. It is super, super, super tough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, that racetrack, but uh, so that's what's on NBC. Make sure you check it out, uh, this week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We, uh, we're knocking it out of park here on Title 24, uh, with the, with, with talking to Eli Tomac today. I loved how candid he was and, and giving us his insight. Um, man, it sounds like he's in a great place, but next week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we're gonna have the boys on. We're gonna have, uh, Jett and Hunter Lawrence on, the two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This year, but for good reasons. So we'll have them on with, uh, myself and my man RV.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, it would be some haymakers being thrown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, on there for sure. So, uh, can't wait to have them on. Make sure you guys tune into that. That will be a lot of fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, like always, and uhm, we are on, uh, if you want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Make sure you go to, uh, Peacock. We are on demand. And then of course, the Moto Sports on NBC's YouTube page.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember you can listen to our podcast there. Really excited about that. That's been so cool. Uh, just head over to amazon.com slash NBC sports to get all the peacock shows and listen to us. Uh, we appreciate you. Make sure you keep liking and sending your questions and comments.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, we will see you next week, myself, RB, and the Lawrence Brothers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, this was literally, guys, this was like two to go. You can see him there with the frustration.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Southwick is always one that you go to and if, if you don't have all your ducks in a row, and that means from the rider standpoint, from the team standpoint, not to say they didn't, but uhm, I believe years ago when I was racing, Andrew Short had a, had a DNF also from, you know, he was on a factory Honda also.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This track is so treacherous on bikes, clutches, uhm, I mean, if you don't manage these 250Fs, uhm, if you don't manage and kind of try to stay out of the deep stuff, not that Hunter was trying to get into that stuff, but,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, man, it's so hard on the motorcycle and as you see with two laps to go, uhm, it let go on him and it's such a bummer because, uhm, you know, had a decent race going for him. I was actually over, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got to speak with Hunter and Jett the, the morning of, uh, of Saturday and still dealing with a little bit of soreness in the ribs there from, from his, from his first turn crash, you know, at red buds. So yeah, just a huge upset.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Hunter Lawrence and then we have a rookie Hayden Deegan. Uhm, I think Hunter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Has to just get back up on the horse and know that, hey, that was a bike issue. Um, you know, it wasn't his fault. We got to just keep doing what we're doing. We got to put ourselves in good starting positions because if Hunter starts up in the top five, he's out of trouble. He is going to make his way up to podium position. If not more than likely win the race.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, the flip side to that is Hayden right now, right, sitting in the position he's in with 6 point lead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is, uh, up to us, up to Justin Cooper with down 22. So we have the, the first, the, the top five here, um, within championship striking distance. And so yeah, I think that Hayden, Hayden, if Hayden can keep this thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Coming down to get it down to the last round. What I mean by to the last round is not with a, with a, with a shot to win with like, hey, we're 24 points down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gotta keep it inside of 8 to 10, you know, because now that keeps the pressure on Hunter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, we've already seen a bike issue, right? So that's total bummer can happen to any one of these guys. And then that being said also, um, you know, if, if just, if a first turn, whatever the case may be, if it's within eight, if it's within 10, now you have a real shot. 24 to me is, is pretty much out of the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly. So very, very critical, critical times. And obviously Hunter's just got a rebound, really. I mean, we know he's, he's, he's fit. We know he's fast. We, you know, especially once the, the days in the, in the weekends kind of click by with, uh, with the soreness in the ribs after Redbud.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, not to mention we do have two weekends off coming up here relatively soon. So that's going to be a big factor too with everybody. And that plays into everybody's factor, but we already know that Hunter's dealing with something from Redbud. So he'll be able to reset, regroup along with everybody else. And then they come back out for the, for, for the last stint.
