17:05It's easy for a young kid to start overriding the motorcycle and doing things out of characteristic and how you got here and that's why I do believe a team like star racing who has the championships and the pedigree to be like hey hey we know you want to go out there and do this but we got to still go through the motions we got to practice we have to ride the sand tracks because we know you can win but if you don't execute and do the things that got you here you will get beat and you will end up you know being in a position so it's a deadly combination to deal with and you're watching
17:35something spectacular just like we were watching with Jet Lawrence his kids got it all for sure
17:39and the bottom box below Deegan there Vial in orange has made his way back up
17:44he's got Nate Thrasher right ahead of him in eighth he is ninth and then time masterpool is tenth shout out to Parker Ross running well on the bar X Toyota of Redlands Yamaha they only get a limited amount of help from Yamaha riding well
17:58in 11th and Vial starting to close on Thrasher then Boland is up ahead in seventh you know and sometimes with in a position like you know Tom Vial like don't don't mistake him we talk about Hayden Deegan but Tom Vial it's looked pretty aggressive all day today and he's obviously gotten up and he's motivated to move forward which he might be able to make his way but sometimes when you go down it might be a better space to be as he makes the pass right here it might be a better space
18:27because for him he wants to get better and get the opening laps and the last thing he wants to see is him be in second place and watch Hayden Deegan pull away from him so it might be in a sense that he goes down and now he's making his way up getting better finding that flow and since he went down he doesn't have to worry about Hayden Deegan he can just get that confidence instead of maybe watching Hayden Deegan ride away from him JT
18:48there's no doubt about it he's riding really well here the one thing I want to see from these guys whether it's Tom Vial whether it's Levi Kitchen is I want to see them be able to overcome the adversity that we've seen Deegan be able to do of course in 2024
19:03now for Vial this is the perfect opportunity you go down a small crash but you have the pace now can you get back to a podium position which is where you belong on this racetrack because that's what Hayden Deegan would be doing out front
19:15that's when I want to see them be able to turn the corner and be that guy that can fight for a championship because on your bad days you still need to be near the podium that's how championships get done
19:24it's certainly going to be a test for Vial to get back to that podium type spot after that early crash of Boland in his sights and this is it Kitchen has closed the gap
19:35on Moseman for the number two spot yeah Levi's been rotten good the last few weekends and so has Michael so you know you're about 10 minutes in this race
19:44and it's going to be a long moto from these guys and and that that back and forth that you're going to see that cat and mouse it's going to be a lot of that today and like I mentioned earlier it really just comes down to in somebody's
19:54one line section is that these guys got to back off and get these the guy in front of room otherwise you're just going to run into vision issues and again all the sand and all that so
20:03Levi will close in on him and then Michael will stretch it out but still good rod by both these guys they've been riding really good this might be an opportunity for Levi to try to get around Michael if he can close the gap
20:14oh this is going to be good
20:19let's see how this outside
20:21yeah that outside is just not formed up yet
20:24she goes back to work
20:29ah fun to hear the bikes labor through the sand
20:34and they're going to wind it back out past the mechanics area
20:47there's the motivation for Moseman keep going
20:53yeah I feel like with this racetrack you know there's only certain parts where you're like you're white knuckling in here where you're like I'm scared and that's one of the sections when you go past that mechanic there it's a high speed really the bikes moving around it's sliding and it's like man I'm just happy to get through it the rest of this racetrack really just comes down to mental and physical like these rollers going up this hill it is so much energy to continue doing that over two 30 minute motos so again it's two different challenges there's not too many scary things that are going to get through the rest of this racetrack
21:11but there's a lot of physical parts that eventually just wears you down and the reason is because all the corners have bumps in them and so it makes it difficult for all these riders
21:18Moseman has not had a moto podium James since 2022 and that was at hangtown very early in that season for so over three years has not had an overall podium since 2021 we've talked about his comeback quite a bit
