00:00all right 250 seated qualifier number one is off levi kitchen with that red plate you mentioned
00:06having the same form as he did through that midway season and the tail end of motocross i absolutely
00:12agree fueled by food for less to get things rolling here 250 seated qualifier number one
00:17and for levi kitchen everyone all levi kitchen fans know he's had the talent the speed to be a
00:25champion for a few years now and whether it's been bad starts at the wrong time small mistakes at the
00:31wrong time always something seems to happen with levi that kind of stops his momentum hasn't been
00:38able to get a championship so far in his career but got a bit of a gift last weekend with
00:42cole
00:42davies bright bike braking in the first moto got a pretty healthy points lead going into the playoff
00:49two here and he just needed something good to happen as i said at the top of the show see
00:54the
00:54red plate on his bikes the vibe is high i think levi has all the tools but now it's on
00:59him he's
01:00got to execute his starts these next two weekends if he wants to be an smx world champion and for
01:06cole
01:06davies i opened the pre-show last weekend talking about yes cole he's been dominant he's he started
01:13to take over the class but the speed advantage that he has over guys like julian bomare chance
01:19time as levi kitchen maybe not as much as you would think on paper but what i saw from him
01:25last weekend besides that bike malfunction unbelievable dominant speed as you said on our
01:31open he was the best guy on track all day long and i thought these guys need to put a
01:36stop to him
01:37in these playoffs if he's going to be within reach in 2027 and truthfully he might already be he's already
01:44that guy and finally joe shimota a bad day in the mud got hurt at southwick he was right up
01:51there in
01:51the pro motocross championship and it can be difficult when you come back from the couch unless
01:56you're ken roxson it's hard to get back into that racing intensity that mud race last weekend had a lot
02:02of crashes lost a lot of points but we know joe is a championship level guy and he can turn
02:08it around
02:09here tonight defending and reigning 250 smx world champion joe shimota with that number one on his
02:17bike double points here today so a lot to race for and he needs a good one here today but
02:22you think
02:23about the guys that struggle they really need a good one but how about the other guys that have a
02:27lot of
02:27momentum coming off playoff race number one in columbus you think about a guy like daxton bennett who gets
02:32his first victory as a professional then he goes one three for second overall levi kitchen of course
02:38getting that overall a week ago with a two two but i'd love to see dax continue that momentum even
02:44though a guy like shimota look not much momentum right now he needs to get that momentum rolling
02:48but a guy like daxton bennett has the momentum on his side he does and as we said rider d
02:52and dax bennett
02:53those guys have so much untapped potential we've been talking about how talented these riders are since
03:00they were five or six years old you see dax nailing that triple out carrying all that speed around the
03:06outside in the sand and these guys they just need to believe in themselves and that's easy for me to
03:11say and it's hard when you're in it as a rider to have that belief that you can win but
03:16i believe
03:17they're starting to believe and we're starting to see the results on track the interesting thing if you
03:21look at career stats for daxton bennett he always starts a season strong and then he kind of tails off
03:26but to finish this season strong it's going to be a huge momentum boost going into 27 and so much
03:32of
03:32it too is just staying healthy dax has struggled with injuries in his career and it's hard to get
03:37the momentum it's hard to keep getting better when you have all these all this time away from racing
03:42all the time away from riding but i think the biggest win so far for him this year is just
03:47that
03:47he's been healthy he's been at all the races showing up on the podium last weekend rider d on a
03:53heater
03:53rider d rolling right now he's on top of the 51.9 but haley tell us more about that rock
03:59strategy husk varna team yeah well we know unfortunately that that factory operation will
04:04cease to exist as of 2027 so this is their last stretch together and as daxton bennick and rider d
04:11illustrated post race one week ago that might take the wind out of some guys sales their crew their
04:16technicians because some of these guys might not have jobs lined up for next year but he said the
04:21opposite is actually happening everyone is working three four times as hard right now so
04:26the effort behind that whole crew over at rockstar energy husk varna factory racing they're all in
04:31they absolutely are and you think about their team manager over there you mentioned earlier
04:35ac nathan ramsey he's a champion in himself he's a racer's team manager and if i'm a part of that
04:41team
04:41i'd love to keep working with nathan ramsey no doubt and as a rider it's so important to have that
04:46trust
04:46in your team manager and somebody like nathan ramsey that's won races won championships at the
04:52highest level in racing you know what he's talking about so when he gives you some feedback it's easy
04:58to take it serious because you know the guy's been there backs on a fast one right now you see
05:03vennick down in 12th with a 52.8 can he better that he goes triple out of the turn then
05:08he jumps
05:09over that big sand roller i like that oh i like that a lot trying to stay low keep the
05:13power on the ground
05:14that outside there before the mechanics area that's been working for these guys you see just
05:20having to carry so much speed in these corners and you see that intensity that we're talking about
05:25with these hybrid style tracks not that technical but it just makes you push everything 10 times harder
05:33there dax still in 12th with a 52.7 your fastest rider on track right now julian bomira the 51
05:41.4 but
05:42davies looks like he's trying to finish a fast one right now he's a 51.8 only four tenths off
05:47let's
05:47see what this time is
05:51that's a 52.4 so he doesn't better his time but how about this guy you mentioned shimoto needing
05:56a good one julian bomira he came into this smx playoffs with a ton of momentum you thought maybe
06:03he would pick up right where he left off of iron man in the regular season pro motocross but
06:07unfortunately not a great columbus round one and the same thing i said for max anstey i would say
06:12the same thing about julian bomira he knows he's there he knows he has the speed the starts he had
06:17an unbelievable summer coming off that big almost career ending injury but he's proven to everyone
06:24and to himself that he belongs in these championship conversations and as you can see right now on top
06:3051.4 that's pretty good justin rider d in second cole davies 51.8 julian bomira has had this playoffs
06:40circle do you think about his back injury a year ago he has had this circle for a long time
06:44he's not
06:45out of the same we've got double points here in la and in ridgedale in just a week's time we
06:50go triple
06:51points racing so julian he's not out of this thing not in the slightest bit anything can happen with the
06:57double points this weekend triple points next but i got to give a shout out to julian's kit
07:02top to bottom this might be the best kid i've ever seen from the 13 he's looking good there's no
07:07doubt
07:07about it matching the motorcycle matching the helmet love to see it from that red bull ktm rider he's on
07:14top 51.4 rider d 51.6 joe shimota he's not typically known for qualifying he came to play today
07:21he's third
07:21and joe is a guy that thrives when the track deteriorates a lot it gets really technical
07:27welcome to global racing thanks for tuning in if you're enjoying the action hit that subscribe
07:33button and turn on notifications so you don't miss the next heat let's get into it
07:38if you're enjoying the racing make sure you hit that subscribe button but we've got plenty more
07:43action coming up so you don't want to miss the next heat stay tuned thanks we mentioned the details
07:48in this track look how tight qualifying is right now 51.4 from bomare the top 10 all the way
07:55down
07:55to drew adams are all within one second and i loved levi's line there before that the option lane in
08:01the
08:01sand didn't go all the way high in that 90 degree turn opened it up a little bit it's going
08:07on off
08:08quad there's the quad you guys can call it a triple if you want but i'm gonna stay calling it
08:12a quad
08:12i like that kitchen in six right now the 51.9 i love that he's going for another one right
08:17now that
08:18tells me that that lap time was super realistic that could be his race speed and not just qualifying
08:22speed and levi kitchen when he's riding well and he's on his a game when i watch him ride i
08:29see a
08:29guy that could be a champion that can legitimately be a champion at the 450 level that is his talent
08:35level whether he gets there or not he's just got to find a way to eliminate eliminate those mistakes
08:41and consistently start inside the top five if you're starting outside the top 10 a lot bad things are
08:47going to happen so it's time it's time for levi to prove that he can be a champion adam i
08:53mentioned
08:53qualifying speed first race speed explain the difference a little bit guys out here really
08:58just going for it that one lap sometimes it's not really a realistic lap that you can withhold
09:02for 20 minutes plus a one so explain the difference to the folks at home i think in a race
09:07it's all
09:08about kind of finding a flow and being very efficient doing it lap after lap after lap and qualifying
09:14you only need to do 51 seconds as hard as you can so you're coming into the corners faster than
09:20you
09:20would be in a race pushing the rhythm lanes harder expending as much energy as you can to get the
09:26fastest lap possible okay there's a lot of talk about cole davies in these smx playoff tracks you
09:32think about his strength during supercross it was the whoops he was oftentimes a second faster just in
09:36one little segment in supercross is that going to hinder him here today no whoop section i think where
09:42cole davies is mentally that that to me is his biggest strength obviously he is unbelievably
09:48talented and gifted on a motorcycle but mentally he knows he is the best guy every single time he
09:56lines up and every time he wins he just keeps validating that and the gap grows between him
10:02and the contenders and i think for any of these guys right now to knock cole davies off the pedestal
10:08is going to be a very tall task regardless of the condition rider d was on a fast one right
10:14there
10:14but he made a mistake julian bomar still on top rider d that man right there on your screen the
10:1934 on
10:19that rock synergy husqvarna ride he's second joe shimota that progressive honda hrc ride and his
10:25teammate chance hymas they're three four cole davies he needs some points here today he's got a little
10:31making up to do after that malfunction in moto one a week ago he's fifth right now the 51.8
10:36but it's
10:36tied at the top and look at those top six all the players came to play today they know regardless
10:42of what happened last week and julian bomar down in 18 it's double points
