2013 AMA Supercross RD 10 Daytona 450 Main Event HD

Let's get our Rocky Mountain keys to the race and let's see we're gonna start with this time Jeff It's you again boom that just happened shocker next never saw that yeah, I think I think Millsaps I mean now we just heard what Aaron reported on With that being said he still needs to rebound because he lost a lot of points last weekend And that could happen again this weekend, and if he gives Philip Odo any more confidence Yeah, it might get ugly Yeah, he's got it. He's got a snazzy leading right. He's got to make a statement there, and he's been good he qualified No, good. He races good everywhere Yeah, I mean he's capable of coming out here winning it all that might take is a hole shot You know that could it's amazing what that has done for a lot of people Well, and that was his strong point throughout the beginning part of the season last week in st. Louis He didn't get off the gate good So and it's just too competitive right now that these riders here that you've seen on your screen the lap times and everything are just Too close to give up track position off the start Marsh on the 51 Philip Odo on the wall Oh, it's a beautiful day of racing I think that's the biggest looks like the biggest turnout they've ever had for a supercross to me Say what there's a lot of bikes in town for bike week in general, and that's great to see a lot of people here Enjoying motorcycle activities all week long here. We go where speeds gonna have the road racing for you next weekend here And short track the dirt track look at Barsha on the right side of your screen. He looks so fired up here We go main event from Daytona the Daytona supercross Gets the whole shot Barsha's coming right with Hangs on to the lead Barsha tries to keep it going And right in the middle of them is Ken Roxon on the KTM Dungey behind him Dungey coming after Barsha Stewart who's been fast tonight. He looks like he's probably about six coming through here, but Dungey He's suffered suffering from some bad starts this year And he's up front right now. He can be strong. He was fast in his heat race We talked about this track being fitness, you know This is the perfect track for him to rely a little bit more of fitness not so much bike set up What a night it would be for KTM if they get moose cam to win the 250s and it rocks it Look at one out here looking like it's gonna be a night for It's gonna be a long Well, I mean anything can happen on a night like this the track is Big issues he's down and now Ken rocks into race leader. No photo drops to third. I jinxed him Hey Chad Reed. He was just behind Stewart so he's in seven Top players here Right up front again in the end and the real wild card here is rocks in 94 with the lead Dungey sitting in fourth. So KTM running first and fourth Look at the lapoto up the inside of Barsha makes a stick that was unbelievable and Barsha is not an easy guy to pass He has not been BAM BAM yet this year Ricky. Why do you think that is? Well, I think You know, you have to race these bikes a little bit different. Oh, look at that. He tripled single That was cool. You got to race these bikes a little bit different, you know, they react different you can't move them as quick as you can the 250f Okay, watch this replay here. This is Barsha on the left side on the Honda. Oh He gets a little squirrely. Don't see him check up right there That was the safest move that he could make and in the rulebook. That's pretty much the deal now. This is The reigning champ. Oh, he loses a little rear wheel track. Oh flagger out of the way You know, I have time to get the yellow flag out man He was gonna he was gonna set sail, but he was gonna be gone Well, and by doing that the way Barsha did he also saved himself from being penalized from cutting the course He let the field come back by him Regained the re-enter duration back where he was and Villa Poto continues to have issues Villa Poto almost did the same thing Barsha did off the start in the exact same spot Roxxon hangs on to the lead on the Red Bull KTM the Monster Energy Kawasaki is right on his heels Villa Poto just he's just got a little more intensity a little more speed now He's up next to Roxxon close enough Not gonna happen this lap now. He's gonna Set him up here. Okay watch right here. Look how close Barsha is. He triple singles Barsha flies through and gets around the outside of Villa Poto, but then Villa Poto with the inside line hangs on to the position It looked like he over jumped it like he was almost gonna quad the thing Barsha is not afraid to grab a handful of throttle and let that thing fly. No he's not Erin, how about Ken Roxxon? What an amazing ride for the 250 West Coast points leader riding on the 350 But you guys he took one week off right after San Diego Then started riding the 350 to get a little bit more comfortable This week they tested a little bit of outdoors and they're hoping to translate that into tonight's Daytona track He said he's feeling comfortable. He just did watch Eli's struggle on TV So he said he could see how just a small mistake can cost him. Roxxon trying to hold to the inside He's had three career 450 starts and has never been outside of the top ten. Here comes Villa Poto He had a good run Ricky, but just not good enough. Yeah, I thought he was going to it I didn't mean to interrupt you. I was like man, he's gonna get it but oh He's all over it. Watch this right here. Watch Villa Poto scrub that middle double over jumps it a little bit. There you go. Bam There's the pass Ralph got it there didn't he? He sure did. Well see he's not afraid he gets aggressive and he makes a pass Explosive. There's Barsha. He goes 3-1 makes the pass on Roxxon also. So Barsha Came to play tonight. Stewart was in the top five running in fifth and now James a former Daytona winner Struggling to get going again. He's gonna put him in 11th See what happened to the Yoshimura. Here we go right here coming into this left-hand corner Oh the oh the berm blew out on him. That berm kept getting pushed and pushed and pushed and That'll do it right there You've been really surprised right there. We've seen Chad Reed go by in the replay also. He's in sixth. Yeah, he was fast Now he's really made no passes except for Stewart going down since lap one Here we are fourth of the way into this race Villopodo's leading. Points leader Davey Millsaps runs in 12th. If they stay that way We will have a new points leader when we get to Indianapolis It would be Ryan Villopodo by four over Davey Millsaps. That's right. Well Millsaps He's been coming through the pack all night long Face some adversity see how far he can climb his way through this pack Maybe leave here with the red plate one more week Riding a little injured this week. Yeah, he's definitely doesn't have the intensity right now Yeah, and you can tell just lay down with his body language. Yeah Laboring I'm gonna tell anybody if then how bad the knee is injured, but you can tell And I'm telling you I'm looking at this point sheet over here on our monitor inside the booth And right now The man you're seeing on the screen. We've got a four-point lead if it's that the race was to stop right now Villopodo out front the winner at st. Louis series leading four wins this year Behind him Justin Barsha Aaron he's running in second coming in after a fifth at st. Louis. That's right in that fifth place last weekend He was extremely upset because one little mistake in second place cost him dearly But his coach Jeff Stanton said he has been beating himself up all week long, but he reminded him He is a rookie this year this year. It's all about a learning curve every single weekend next year They're gonna go for the championship But he said he's extremely proud of them for eat up there competing with these top guys in the first place Now they're all good in this race. By the way, that's the only rider in the 118 so far Wow, there's Roxanne 94 these Minute 20 lap times makes for a long main event and I can tell you Weather here is nice temperatures great back in the days And we have to run here and maybe it was a hot weekend. It was 90 degrees over 90 Yeah, I never remember racing here during the day when it was Seem like it was hot Here For the most part running fifth, yeah Back to where he started off the series and he seems like he's got a lot better flow right now Lately Today right now. What's obviously is tear off the left side of his helmet It's like he ripped a bunch off and they hung up on the on the final pin on the outside of the flutters Well, he got up to such a great start this year, but then it's st. Louis He was just inside the top ten. It was a fourth time the last five races He's finished outside the top five and that's where his season is About Ken Roxon It's out here You know right this kind of a kind of a free race for him the 250 riders that do choose to jump up with the 450 It's you know, it's like an audition Okay, how do you okay? So so you're leading the two-kicker West, but if you had to ride the 450 this next year, what sort of speed do you have? What sort of composure can you hold racing against the big guys? The last couple weeks we've seen me like Tomac struggle a bit in this situation qualifies fast, but he has a race well Yeah, I gotta say I think pretty sick. I've been pretty surprised I thought Tomac you go Stewart and try to get by Gherki. Yep. That's over eight And these and these riders are just behind Eli Tomac who sits at seven for us talking about the second Yeah, what I I'm actually surprised he hasn't done as better as he has in the 450 class, you know It just I don't know. I expected a little bit more from him Stewart second a week ago Running eight right now tickle in the background catching making a little ground on the man in front of him Gherki We've got a bad start see some of the replays there so he's pretty strong rider I think he's Told I told him what I told the Jeremy Martin. That's a you know, it's a long race But you can rely on your fitness a little bit Yeah, but see everybody's starting to labor a little bit And and and the thing is here at Daytona is if you're on like what we've just seen Muskan or Villa Poto right now Villa Poto is just he is just dominating the track as Stewart really struggles through those Section it's easy Like that was so much fun This is a position for forth that we're fighting over here And read trying to jump in here as well on the 22 read getting inside Bouncing back here Struggled in that heat race got himself into the main and now looking to make the most of it Yeah, read he's looking good all day. Just kind of just really bad luck I mean he fell in his heat race on the start got a horrible start in the main but I mean the guy just to me looks like he's flowing good really aggressive and It's not going good for him in there, you know in a race situation Made the podium at st. Louis with a third equaling his best finish of the year First podium since the second race at Anaheim this year And a fight here as well Ryan Dungey getting around Justin Barsha That'll put him in the second He has always been known for his fitness self self-motivated trainer just goes out there and gets his work done Start to make it happen here. He's they come across the stripe this time around He's gonna be 7.9 seconds Behind now. He was half a second slower than Villa Poto that last time but now that he's got a clear track You can see if he can start to Chip away at Villa Potos lead maybe even as we get deep into the lap riders use that to his advantage Now you see Villa Poto going by. Oh and Reed is down. Oh, man, Chad Reed goes down That means Rita slipped all the way back to seven Well, I'm that's gonna give rocks in a little bit of breathing room right here. You see Stewart trying to go to the inside Nice pass there. Let's see what happens here Coming inside there. You can see what happens. Oh grab this foot holding back Wrist went back with the throttle Goes riding the bike. Yeah Brady now back in eight this man continues to lead So this this race is going to end up being probably 26 27 minutes long with the lap times that we have photo You know, of course, he's he's fit for the full 20 laps, you know time champion all that But when you think about rocks in okay He trains for the 250 class, which is a 15 lap race and typically most supercross tracks That 15 laps is less than 15 minutes. So we're getting just past that right now Tomac also, he's 250 rider On the West Coast, so we'll see how when we get to the latter part of this race this race is going to be another 10-12 minutes longer than what our 250 riders are used to their Tomac rocks Tomac and the Geico on a number 17 in the orange riding gear Canard trying to close it on him Honda stable mate But on the muscle milk squad the factory team Josh Grant was hoping to be out here in this one Aaron Actually the JGR under Josh Grant his mouth is wide open watching this take place Josh you've written here over the years You know how rough this track gets what are you witnessing take place tonight, man? Looks really tough tonight, you know, these guys are having some troubles getting around and it's just getting deteriorated now, man It's it's crazy, you know How are things going Really well, and I'm really happy with how it's gone You know the surgery was two weeks ago, and I've just been focusing on that and I'm just getting ready for outdoors So hopefully everything goes really smooth and we can get back out there Josh told me earlier today expects to be riding in within six to eight weeks It was also good to see Joe Gibbs racing Toyota Yamaha rider Kyle Chisholm here at the track after breaking his lower left leg An incident at st. Louis a week ago Roxanne on the 94 Tomac on the 17th fighting over more than what a battle we had. Well, you mess rocks it up there Yeah, but did you see what happened over the triple there rocks it took his left hand off of the handlebar kind of shook his left hand possibly a little Really got nine laps to go here. Now. What's interesting is this? This is one of those tracks Tomac is one of those guys that doesn't have a problem training. He loves his trainer Ryan Hughes Stay tuned for that Look at that turn tricky Coming out of turns and some of those some of those those, you know Acceleration bumps out of the ruts which back in our days the racers ran during the day So the Sun would set and those ruts would get deep and they would get shadowed. We're here tonight. It's just nighttime Let's get dark. Also hard to see the acceleration They see Davey Millsacks, he's moved up into so The Ville Podo leading it would have been a three-point gap now Davey's narrowed it back to two He's gonna probably slip back to the second place here after tonight Yeah, he's so he needs it needs an eighth eighth would be two points. I could possibly tie it up Yeah, tickle tickles right there in front of him Tickle better get on it or he or Davey's going to gain some more Points here. You see tickle right there in front of you and a couple jumps ahead Stewart, that's where Millsaps need to get needs to get to Stewart. He was that full straightaway ahead Davies had some really good runs here at this track The point that might that he really needed it. It's not there Yeah There you go. You better get after he looks like he's wore out a lot of these guys do Yeah, just kind of just kind of hopping around a little head bob right there out of tickle, but you also mentioned that you guys Ricky yeah being a co-owner of this team helping develop the bike that does Suzuki and everything When you're trying to help Brock and your other rider Josh Hill set the bike up here for Daytona What's the difference what in your experience what is the key thing with the bike setup well for sure I think for Daytona It's so rough. You have to relax the bike, you know Yeah, soften it up. Maybe change some steering angles in the wheel position Compression on the suspension, you know, that's what I think you got to do, you know, because this thing is so treacherous and Come from riding supercross, you know the last eight weeks or so and Everything is so much stiffer so much tighter. Yeah, I'm compact Yeah, because you don't have to worry about the little bumps and attraction things like that the breaking bumps It's all about setting it up for the obstacles because the track is pretty smooth in between the obstacles But here it's all these little bumps We really have to get that suspension to work much like what you would set a bike up for motocross Early on in the season Was struggling a little bit to get this bike where he wanted it feel wise He's got it there now and it is really shown For victories the most on the season any rider in the field and well on his way to number five Guys with this elapsed time for this race just crossed the 19-minute mark and we still have six laps to go He gained a lot of time he gained almost two seconds that lap 7.6 seconds behind you see the blue flag flying. That's Michael Leslie the 800. He's been struggling here tonight Have to go through the LCQ and look at that. Look at the line choice there now They're cutting down really low there instead of going way out wide Roughs right there. Look at that. I mean it just there isn't a smooth line on the track Martian running third Martian running third right there with Tomac coming in behind him Hey, you guys said the television broadcast is we're starting to throw some elbows here on Ralphie right now It's not would be the first time Carmichael's done that. No, no Look at Tomac 120 Last lap or no 122 last lap around as fast as the 120. Here comes Ronson on the 94. Oh Mr. Tripple So can our comes right after Contact there and Ronson holds on to the position. There's gonna be another rider behind them. Chad read read my kid Two for the price of one right here a little two for the last time around Chad Reed Had a 121 Two for the race He got one and a half He tried Gotta give it to the boy. I'll tell you what reading is as pretty as they come He never quits and he is still charging here at Daytona. Don't worry about hitting the line Just just turn the bike and hit the throttle Accelerate I love it. Chad Reed is on the gas or later fired up He's got another position three right now in fifth Blue flag there on the right Possibly that's about to get lapped. Come on Stewart Here's No, no, he's just kind of floating around he's obviously not he's over it I think he's over it at this point Mentally defeating you who's my guy Brock Behind him and if Millsaps can really get after it and reel those two in You can just see it in tickle in that corner, yeah, I just said if he goes any slower he's gonna tip over for sure There's Millsaps II. I mean they've been they've been this not what you want to hear from your team I'm just saying you can go back to the tape and look That's alright though, hey Lot of other people just cruising around They back here just behind Millsaps the left side of the screen coming past the finish line eventually It's gonna be a good Ten seconds back. That's Andrew short on the BTO Sports.com KTM who's now at his hundredth start in Monster Energy Superdrive Pretty good milestone Jerky's behind him Well Aaron's found yourself another guest a guy who's got quite a few starts in his own, right That's right. Well while he won here back in 2008 with a lot of your conditions podium here last year with the third place But Kevin you're on the sidelines watching tonight. Are you wishing you were out there? Are you quite content being where you're at? Well, I'll tell you this is one of the toughest races that you can have it They tell supercross by Honda's a tough race and that's what makes the wind so sweet. So for Villapoto right now I'm actually enjoying watching a race with Kevin Wayne my son and I know what these guys are going through but just a few laps left is the longest supercross by far and Fitness is really starting to play a big role in this race You're sitting here having some laughs with the guys tonight But are you ready to be joining the guys in the booth next weekend live? Yeah, I can't wait so hey Ralph and bro, sorry, I can't ever hang with Ricky I wish I could and it'd be fun to have all four of us in there Gets crowded and Ralph has a tough tough job keeping us all in line, but look forward to seeing you guys in Indy Say that again Kevin it is preparate on and get ready. That's right. No, he's stealing my words, man It's not in there it's not in that one stop 24 minutes has elapsed so far and Villapoto leads it two to go Wow domination this guy Beginning of the season things were not looking right He has worked really hard. We talked about Each week every now and then you see a guy like Chad Reed all the sudden last couple weeks. He's been really fast same thing for Villapoto It's these little Changes that the team is able to work to make and they work through the problems with the rider To help build this confidence and sometimes it's just the smallest change Millimeters on a part that makes the difference and all of a sudden the rider the light switch turns off This will be career win number 29 for Ryan His fifth of the season. He'll now be fifth all-time The Supercross winless he just passes Ricky Johnson if he can get this done here tonight as Tomek And Farsha continue to battle that is crazy Tomek goes down Yeah, he's the clutch in with the left side of the grip and there's a lessee He's a lap down, yep, that's a blue flag again Whiskey throttle He's still charging right now. I can tell you that Gotta love it man. Gotta love that determination. I got triple triplets. Do you ever get lapped Ricky? Yeah, I think I did I know It's so it's not good. Let me see you this guy Pillow on his way to becoming a three-time Daytona winner Daytona Chad Reeves pretty rare put him in that in the poll question next year Starting at least a couple to go. He wraps this one. Oh, yeah, he's got This is his style of track, but I'm telling you where he's at in his career Just passed well with this win past Ricky Johnson To him Literally one of the coolest riders that's ever graced our presence here in Supercross That's it. That's a statement and he's still got a lot of years ahead of him. Kawasaki last one here in 2007 This will be their 11th win team green here at Daytona 27 minute mark we just passed so I was a little low on my time there when I quoted 26 Laptimes now little photo last lap around of course, he's cruising. He was at a 125 checkered flag He is a Daytona Supercross winner and he's a new points leader
