00:00came away victorious yeah it was way gnarlier than this and one of the reasons it made it was
00:04gnarlier and more challenging is because the dirt was so much heavier yeah and so it made it way
00:12harder to navigate and manage that motorcycle hey look who is back yes that familiar number 11
00:19this time last year we were talking nothing but retirement well he said it was going to be his
00:26last race as a full-time racer he said he would come back and do it kyle chisholm is back
00:31in the
00:31house different team different bike but there's so many people who went up to him yesterday when we
00:39all first got here and just said welcome back and it's a huge welcome back to bam bam justin basher
00:46is here after missing every race since a1 that horrific crash and injury that he suffered well
00:53he is back hey and do not sleep on this guy and his ability to ride the conditions like this
01:00and
01:01mud races he could certainly get up there wouldn't that be an incredible story he came out here and
01:06got to win his first race back he kind of joked with us a little bit yesterday and said i
01:12guess i was
01:12riding too good at the practice track they told me i had to come back to work yeah no expectation
01:17just
01:18wants to have a good time and have fun heat to the 450s watch jorge prado on that 26 red
01:23bull ktm
01:24the spaniard has been spectacular when the gate drops and there he goes straight to the front
01:31savagy did a really good job he checked up early didn't get into that first corner so hot
01:36to do what he's doing right now to sneak up the inside and he's in the lead on that quad
01:42lock honda
01:43oh basher straight through to second he's back i love it back the way we remembered
01:52remember i talked about man this guy is great in these conditions and this would be a story
01:58uh-oh hold on hold on gets through there found his rhythm meanwhile joey cevacci's disappeared
02:09when was that when was that new jersey race that two years ago three years ago two years ago yeah
02:15he was spectacular there in sloppy sloppy conditions well
02:21this is incredible to see what the 51 of justin basher is doing right now like you said wiki he
02:26really did have zero expectations this is about just getting some supercross gate drops in here
02:32before the season is out but when i spoke to him earlier and said hey you know you're not probably
02:36adverse to these conditions he kind of smiled and he's like it's kind of crazy right this is what we
02:41were wishing for he said most important thing wiki for him is that it would slow everything down after
02:46coming back from the kind of injury the incident that he did he just wanted to come back slow the
02:51track down and just ease back into this in basher style he is doing that right now so home race
02:57for
02:57set hammocker home race for nick romano and certainly in some shape or form a home race for
03:02justin basher let's hear his thoughts absolutely i you know i was born in jersey not far from here
03:08um and as soon as i landed from the airport i went yeah we're in philly i can feel the
03:13aggressiveness and i got excited and i got in the rental car and my wife's like yeah you fit right
03:18in
03:18here like it just goes off so yes uh it's great to come back down philly i feel the feel
03:23the vibe
03:23of energy it's gonna feel good i'll tell you what man i think like this is almost a blessing for
03:30this
03:30guy you talk about no pressure no expectations and i feel like sometimes when the conditions are like
03:37this it does take the pressure off because it's more of survival and not having to you know getting
03:43to the end like we've been telling everyone and and not having to absolutely turn it loose
03:48jumping gnarly jumps and you know the risk is a little bit less because the speeds are slower and
03:54everything kind of simmers down a little bit he might just give you and ryan villopoto quite the
03:59story to tell on monday uh on title 24 here comes justin cooper by the way as we watch cooper
04:05and basher
04:06want to share a funny story yesterday with justin basher when they everybody came out for media day
04:11right you ride through the tunnel and out onto the track and then justin got there took his helmet
04:16off and ricky and i said to him how was that did you take that all in like what was
04:22that feeling like
04:23to ride back into the arena he said you know what i didn't i didn't even really pay that much
04:27attention
04:27but i can tell you i'm kind of nervous he said when i woke up this morning i was nervous
04:32and it's not
04:32even race day it's so fun to talk to justin him and his wife two little boys and just where
04:42he is
04:43now in life a lot of fun to talk to just enjoying the process jt uh he's not the only
04:49rider kind of
04:50making this hometown appearance we talked about nick romano earlier well justin cooper there sitting in
04:54third he's a long island native so i'm sure he's got a lot of family and friends so he and
04:59justin
04:59barsha both from new york both probably not uh hating this mud too much and both of them could be
05:05in contention to get their well justin barsha's first win in a long time but justin cooper still
05:10looking for that first elusive win for the overall two minutes plus a lap to go great ride by kate
05:17clayson kate's in the top 10 dylan farandes is in that transfer zone whoa look at that barsha to
05:23the lane with a body slam a body check on joey savarchi snuck up on him joey not anticipating or
05:31i don't think he was anticipating that but when the door opens in the mud race you just gotta
05:36absolutely send it and that was somewhat of a slide job sure was man this is this would be so
05:44epic
05:44really cool to see if barsha can hang on to it minute 35 seconds left plus one lap
05:54so it has been a spectacular first year for the troy league design red ball ducati team on many fronts
06:02but to go for this rider lineup of justin barsha and dylan farandes and unfortunately the team
06:09lost barsha at a1 after there was that accident between himself and malcolm stewart and justin
06:15needed some time away he hit his head very hard and he just needed to rest and recuperate here is
06:21jorge trato who's got by justin cooper he's got that third spot joey savarchi's trying to respond
06:27but dylan farandes has been doing an excellent job checking off better result better result better
06:34result but this could be something special a first heat win for ducati and that tld red bull machine
06:41yeah that'd be pretty cool and you consider like how many races we've been to already this season and
06:47for dylan not to get one and then jb to come back out first race back and oh yeah bag
06:55of heat that'd be
06:55huge for the brand jake jake coop got back past prado prado must have had a little hiccup there
07:01time's almost up but savarchi's definitely getting a little bit closer to justin barsha he might
07:07have something for him on the final lap
07:10what a crazy story this would be first race back and barsha wins his first yeah wins the heat
07:17getting into some lappers here you can see they're all trying to they're they're all taking
07:23the similar line so that line starting the the ruts are starting to get deep it's going to be harder
07:29to follow those ruts so i anticipate some of these guys start venturing off and find some
07:36i wouldn't say fresh dirt but a newer line and not as deep to where they can get a better
07:42drive
07:44as these ruts get deeper it becomes much harder to keep your balance and hold a straight line look at
07:50this joey savarchi's gained ground on barsha they're going to see the white flag next time by signifying
07:56one lap to go let your eyes walk through that graphic on the left and you're going to see
08:00there's the lead change savarchi back in front kyle chisholm is in the automatic transfer position he's
08:07one spot behind chase sexton here comes barsha he wants that lead back he wants that win it might
08:14only be a heap but he's having a blast out there wow contact for the second time with joey savarchi
08:24i love the battle right here guys fighting
08:29joey says all right i can play that game as well gotcha take that
08:35here comes cooper here's justin flying through the air up the inside of one almost two cooper to
08:44second for now oh watch though barsha's on the inside right here he's going to make the move back
08:51by yes similar to what he did how he made the move for the lead on the 17 of savarchi
08:59joey doing a great
09:00job and not giving up and staying strong to the end barsha just lost a little bit of momentum and
09:06rhythm there through the whoops so that's allowed joey savarchi to get away determined right here through
09:12that split lane section i mean could you imagine another up a great opportunity for a guy like joey
09:19savarchi to bag his first premier win absolutely down this short shoot this flat section and that
09:27is a hate win for joey savarchi first time since 2019 awesome effort justin basher is back and he
09:35finishes second ahead of justin cooper and shane mckelrath came storming through so two quadlock
09:43condors in the top four how about that he came to play came to play and kyle chisholm last time
09:50we
09:51checked was in a transfer position yes sexton seventh kate clayson is a little further up the track ahead
09:58of chis kyle's got about three seconds over colt nichols only one second now timing and scoring looks like
10:07there's a little bit more room than one second and he's on that part though yeah rmx bike
10:18and colt nichols is looking to spoil the uh the welcome back party and chis knows there's a little
10:25bit of pressure but he's almost home last corner and kyle chisholm welcome back and welcome back to the
10:31main event an immediate transfer
10:34you
