00:01:00,780 --> 00:01:03,899
broadcast Booth I'm Greg White standing

the tale of the Season we are going to
30
00:01:10,380 --> 00:01:14,460
have a wicked good season yeah I mean I
31
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,799
think that all of our text messages our
32
00:01:14,460 --> 00:01:18,360
social media is all blew up and said can
33
00:01:16,799 --> 00:01:19,860
this happen again and Barbara and right
34
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,000
now I think it will happen and I think
35
00:01:19,860 --> 00:01:22,799
that there's a lot of guys that are
36
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,420
hungry to go and Tackle both Cameron
37
00:01:22,799 --> 00:01:26,580
bohi and Jake gagne this weekend but
38
00:01:24,420 --> 00:01:28,500
there was a lot of drama on the last lap
39
00:01:26,580 --> 00:01:29,939
of race number two Jason tell us what
40
00:01:28,500 --> 00:01:31,560
we're looking at well you can see here
41
00:01:29,939 --> 00:01:32,939
cam made the pass down the back straight
42
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,860
away and then there was just some
43
00:01:32,939 --> 00:01:36,299
contact made camera either lost the
44
00:01:34,860 --> 00:01:38,759
front or had a problem tipping in there
45
00:01:36,299 --> 00:01:40,439
as you you'll hear him say here in a
46
00:01:38,759 --> 00:01:42,420
minute but Josh Herron I mean I can't
47
00:01:40,439 --> 00:01:43,740
explain to you the amount of skill it
48
00:01:42,420 --> 00:01:45,720
took him to keep that bike on track
49
00:01:43,740 --> 00:01:47,520
anybody that's been to Atlanta knows how
50
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:50,100
how narrow it can get there
51
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,720
well Jay you know we I had a chance a
52
00:01:50,100 --> 00:01:53,039
little bit earlier to talk to both of
53
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,380
those Riders about that particular
54
00:01:53,039 --> 00:01:57,299
situation and here is what both Cameron
55
00:01:55,380 --> 00:02:00,500
bobier and Josh Herron had to say about
56
00:01:57,299 --> 00:02:00,500
that last lap at Road Atlanta
57
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:05,040
you know going down the back
58
00:02:02,220 --> 00:02:06,479
straightaway I kind of did what I've
59
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,860
always seen everybody do at Road Atlanta
60
00:02:06,479 --> 00:02:10,619
drift over to the right a little bit
61
00:02:07,860 --> 00:02:11,940
just to keep the person you know on the
62
00:02:10,619 --> 00:02:14,220
left side so that way they can't go
63
00:02:11,940 --> 00:02:17,099
underneath them in the in the Kink I was
64
00:02:14,220 --> 00:02:19,560
coming into the Kink with with
65
00:02:17,099 --> 00:02:23,160
so much speed and with such a tight
66
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:24,720
angle that I went to lean and I just
67
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,579
wasn't turning and I actually I had to
68
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,200
let off the gas a little bit it all
69
00:02:26,579 --> 00:02:30,360
happened so fast but we tipped into the
70
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,739
Kink something happened with Cam and you
71
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,620
know he ended up drifting wide really
72
00:02:31,739 --> 00:02:36,540
quick on me and we we made contact once
73
00:02:34,620 --> 00:02:38,640
I felt that little bit of contact I was
74
00:02:36,540 --> 00:02:40,980
like all all I was worrying about is if
75
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:43,140
if he was okay because I know there's
76
00:02:40,980 --> 00:02:45,000
not much room for air there at all but I
77
00:02:43,140 --> 00:02:46,680
got a bad head shake and so whenever I
78
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,200
want to grab the brakes going into 10A I
79
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:51,239
had zero break I mean tiny bit of brakes
80
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,500
I just kind of held the brakes on as
81
00:02:51,239 --> 00:02:55,920
long as I could and then just tried to
82
00:02:52,500 --> 00:02:57,660
split that Gap and with Cam lifting at
83
00:02:55,920 --> 00:02:59,400
the last second it gave me that little
84
00:02:57,660 --> 00:03:01,019
bit of extra room and we were able to to
85
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,580
squeeze through obviously we talked
86
00:03:01,019 --> 00:03:05,400
about it after he's like didn't have any
87
00:03:02,580 --> 00:03:07,140
breaks going down the hill and uh
88
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,300
and I told him my side of the store I
89
00:03:07,140 --> 00:03:13,319
was like dude like I am so sorry because
90
00:03:09,300 --> 00:03:15,000
I went to lean and I couldn't I just
91
00:03:13,319 --> 00:03:16,739
couldn't turn it's nothing that I tried
92
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,480
to do it's just you know I think we just
93
00:03:16,739 --> 00:03:20,280
had some good hard racing and things
94
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,780
like that happen and I'm just happy that
95
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,300
nobody went down and we were able to get
96
00:03:21,780 --> 00:03:25,980
some points out of it
97
00:03:24,300 --> 00:03:27,300
yeah there's nothing malicious there you
98
00:03:25,980 --> 00:03:28,739
can hear it from both those writers and
99
00:03:27,300 --> 00:03:30,120
the thing is that when you're going down
100
00:03:28,739 --> 00:03:31,440
that back straight away on tires that
101
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,959
are as old as they were at that point in
102
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:36,180
the race last lap to get into the Kink
103
00:03:33,959 --> 00:03:37,800
where Cameron was he was so narrow that
104
00:03:36,180 --> 00:03:38,940
if he loses the front just checks up a
105
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,620
little bit and harem was on the outside
106
00:03:38,940 --> 00:03:42,360
of him again when you go back and you
107
00:03:40,620 --> 00:03:43,980
watch that like we just did to see where
108
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,299
Josh actually took that bike too and how
109
00:03:43,980 --> 00:03:47,640
close he was to running off the track
110
00:03:45,299 --> 00:03:49,560
and then having the the head shake that
111
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,180
actually spread the pads and he snuck
112
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,799
through that little Gap it was a it was
113
00:03:51,180 --> 00:03:54,659
a big thing that was avoided there that
114
00:03:52,799 --> 00:03:56,340
we you know thank goodness for that but
115
00:03:54,659 --> 00:03:58,019
uh just shows how good these Riders are
116
00:03:56,340 --> 00:04:00,239
yeah it was great that everybody made it
117
00:03:58,019 --> 00:04:02,099
out okay but Jay let's take a look at
118
00:04:00,239 --> 00:04:03,599
inside the numbers because when we look
119
00:04:02,099 --> 00:04:05,220
at the two Titans we were talking about
120
00:04:03,599 --> 00:04:08,940

00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,080
tires we're going to talk about that
150
00:05:02,460 --> 00:05:06,120

151
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,860
is is that here at Barber Motorsports

Park the sun is out heating the track up
153
00:05:07,860 --> 00:05:13,500
Jay but this track at 2.38 miles is
154
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,759
phenomenal yeah so many great places to
155
00:05:13,500 --> 00:05:16,380

then big turn two big long right-hander
159
00:05:20,340 --> 00:05:24,300
that kind of goes up and then back
160
00:05:21,900 --> 00:05:25,740
downhill turn Force flat out and loose
161
00:05:24,300 --> 00:05:28,199
up over the top of that breaking down
162
00:05:25,740 --> 00:05:29,580
into Charlotte's Web famous corner here
163
00:05:28,199 --> 00:05:31,199

temperatures were in the upper 70s but
183
00:06:12,900 --> 00:06:16,680
there was no sun it was it was humid but
184
00:06:14,639 --> 00:06:19,680
it was comfortable it's now I just
185
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:22,560
checked 95 degrees real feel out there
186
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:24,240
because of the sun and the humidity uh
187
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,280
these guys are in for one difficult
188
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,919
chore today yeah and the big thing too
189
00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:30,660
is yesterday's qualifying or even this
190
00:06:28,919 --> 00:06:32,220
morning as well the practices the track
191
00:06:30,660 --> 00:06:33,720
temperatures were totally different than
192
00:06:32,220 --> 00:06:35,280
us they're going to be a lot cooler and
193
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,600
you know I mentioned it's just going to
194
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:37,860
be a lot different feel for a lot of
195
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,360
these guys they might think they have a
196
00:06:37,860 --> 00:06:40,680
good setup it might have worked good
197
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,080
this morning but things are going to be
198
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:45,479
a lot different going into this race and
199
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:48,000
I mean not only the the traction you
200
00:06:45,479 --> 00:06:49,560
know when the track is has uh goes up
201
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,360
and attractions less it changes
202
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,940
everything not only the grip but also
203
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:56,039
the electronic settings because you're
204
00:06:53,940 --> 00:06:58,080
spinning more yeah so you know are you
205
00:06:56,039 --> 00:07:00,060
going to have the electronics to you
206
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:02,460
know be able to kick in and help that so
207
00:07:00,060 --> 00:07:04,199
a lot of it's gonna you know it's gonna
208
00:07:02,460 --> 00:07:06,300
be interesting to see and then also tire
209
00:07:04,199 --> 00:07:07,740
wear toward the race just track is one
210
00:07:06,300 --> 00:07:09,840
of the most physical tracks that we go
211
00:07:07,740 --> 00:07:11,880
to and you know I'm looking forward we
212
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:14,160
got seven guys I think that that could
213
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:16,199
win this race I think so too it's going
214
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:19,139
to be spectacular one question for you
215
00:07:16,199 --> 00:07:22,500
with that of that traction control
216
00:07:19,139 --> 00:07:25,259
um is the is the the capability there uh
217
00:07:22,500 --> 00:07:27,360
for the rider on the Fly Roger to be
218
00:07:25,259 --> 00:07:29,160
able to make that little adjustment on
219
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:31,080
the traction control or is that preset
220
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,520
and you've got what you've got there's a
221
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,380
there's some settings on there on the
222
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,580
handlebars you can uh you know not a ton
223
00:07:34,380 --> 00:07:38,340
but usually there's three different
224
00:07:35,580 --> 00:07:40,620
settings on there uh you know sometimes
225
00:07:38,340 --> 00:07:42,120
even even more where you can have more
226
00:07:40,620 --> 00:07:43,500
traction control or if the track
227
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,360
temperature is better you can take some
228
00:07:43,500 --> 00:07:47,460
away uh
229
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:49,500
but the thing is on this track on a
230
00:07:47,460 --> 00:07:51,780
Superbike man it's going to be hard to
231
00:07:49,500 --> 00:07:52,979
be able to hit that button so but for
232
00:07:51,780 --> 00:07:54,479
them there isn't definitely a couple
233
00:07:52,979 --> 00:07:56,940
different settings that they can do on
234
00:07:54,479 --> 00:07:58,620
the fly all right and that could come
235
00:07:56,940 --> 00:07:59,940
into play here and one of the things you
236
00:07:58,620 --> 00:08:01,860
have to remember about traction control
237
00:07:59,940 --> 00:08:03,960
if you've got it turned up too much it's
238
00:08:01,860 --> 00:08:06,720
invasive it actually can slow you down
239
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:09,060
and so that's the scenario here so we
240
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:12,840
are getting ready here for this first
241
00:08:09,060 --> 00:08:15,960

what everybody thought it was going to
274
00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:31,440
be at this time of day uh you know
275
00:09:30,300 --> 00:09:34,500
yesterday everybody thought it was going
276
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:36,600
to be raining by now and over the top of
277
00:09:34,500 --> 00:09:38,700
us there's not too many clouds it's
278
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,200
pretty good no right now yeah warm as
279
00:09:38,700 --> 00:09:43,260
our aerial support is provided by our
280
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:45,779
Lucas Oil helicopter looking at
281
00:09:43,260 --> 00:09:47,760
Cameron bobier back there you know we
282
00:09:45,779 --> 00:09:49,560
talked about the conditions and of
283
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:52,260
course we just got done with winter into
284
00:09:49,560 --> 00:09:54,180
spring and we're normally here the
285
00:09:52,260 --> 00:09:56,820
opposite time of year after summer
286
00:09:54,180 --> 00:09:58,500
heading into fall and the track has been
287
00:09:56,820 --> 00:10:00,839
a lot cooler and it's been causing some
288
00:09:58,500 --> 00:10:03,000
cold tearing in the tires so this lap
289
00:10:00,839 --> 00:10:05,459
this race itself was scheduled for 20
290
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,620
and now is scheduled for 16 as Dunlop
291
00:10:05,459 --> 00:10:09,660
will evaluate this race and the tire
292
00:10:07,620 --> 00:10:12,800
conditions after race number one here
293
00:10:09,660 --> 00:10:12,800
for Medallion class
294
00:10:12,839 --> 00:10:16,320
just kind of a temperature thing Jay a
295
00:10:14,820 --> 00:10:18,480
little bit weird yeah definitely a
296
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,640
different time of year so we're starting
297
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,860
to get 16 hard laps here in Superbike
298
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:25,140
here we go Medallion Superbike race
299
00:10:22,860 --> 00:10:26,519
number one and we're away it'll look
300
00:10:25,140 --> 00:10:28,980
like Cameron Peterson in the middle of
301
00:10:26,519 --> 00:10:30,779
the 45 got a really good launch some of
302
00:10:28,980 --> 00:10:32,459
his teammate Jake gagne as gagne is
303
00:10:30,779 --> 00:10:34,560
going to lead us into turn number one
304
00:10:32,459 --> 00:10:36,120
and he's right there look at Herron
305
00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:37,980
going around the outside into third spot
306
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:40,320
what a start from the third row from the
307
00:10:37,980 --> 00:10:42,779
Ducati and Josh Herron I had a good chat
308
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,800
with him not uh not long ago break so
309
00:10:42,779 --> 00:10:46,140
we'll get into that in a little while
310
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:48,240
but Heron Rockets himself from the third
311
00:10:46,140 --> 00:10:49,920
row to third as they go up over the top
312
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,860
of turn four for the first lap he's got
313
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:55,380
Escalante and Schultz right behind him
314
00:10:52,860 --> 00:10:58,079
great job by Richie Escalante on that
315
00:10:55,380 --> 00:11:00,360
Vision wheel M4 x-star Suzuki I talked
316
00:10:58,079 --> 00:11:02,760
to Richie Escalante and he's telling me
317
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:05,279
that he's finally figured out and felt
318
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,959
like he's a Superbike Rider now no
319
00:11:05,279 --> 00:11:09,000
longer just a super sport Rider getting
320
00:11:06,959 --> 00:11:10,980
really comfortable with that machine and
321
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,899
he's done a really nice job this weekend
322
00:11:10,980 --> 00:11:15,180
Greg he's been in the top five quite a
323
00:11:12,899 --> 00:11:18,180
bit has Escalante on his second year
324
00:11:15,180 --> 00:11:19,860
with this team so you know it's nice to
325
00:11:18,180 --> 00:11:21,779
see him moving forward as gagne gets a
326
00:11:19,860 --> 00:11:23,459
little out of shape in between the left
327
00:11:21,779 --> 00:11:25,140
and the right you can see the two Yamaha
328
00:11:23,459 --> 00:11:27,180
boys right now at the front just
329
00:11:25,140 --> 00:11:28,800
starting to creep away from that battle
330
00:11:27,180 --> 00:11:30,600
for third a little further back you can
331
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,640
see Hayden Gillum Corey Alexander and
332
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,260
David Anthony in this battle a little
333
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:37,200
probably about for eighth or ninth but
334
00:11:34,260 --> 00:11:39,779
the two attack bikes are gone right now
335
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,700
so we'll see can Heron and them start to
336
00:11:39,779 --> 00:11:44,300
pull these guys back at all fresh and
337
00:11:41,700 --> 00:11:47,399
lean Progressive Yamahas that's the
338
00:11:44,300 --> 00:11:49,019
Yamaha R1 Leading The Way of course last
339
00:11:47,399 --> 00:11:51,120
time we were here at Barber Motorsports
340
00:11:49,019 --> 00:11:52,800
Park half a year ago it was Cameron
341
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,660
Peterson who won the last race of the
342
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,980
season in the dry as his teammate Jake
343
00:11:54,660 --> 00:11:58,440
gagne was trying to hold on to that
344
00:11:55,980 --> 00:12:00,240
number one plate I saw I saw Matthew
345
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,800
Schultz jump into fourth and it looked
346
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,000
like bobier behind him who's coming
347
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,980
through but you can see off the start
348
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,600
there both these guys got great starts
349
00:12:04,980 --> 00:12:08,820
gagne is just in a little bit better
350
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,800
position as they entered into turn one
351
00:12:08,820 --> 00:12:12,540
but look at Herron he rocketed by the
352
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,440
outside of everybody got himself into
353
00:12:12,540 --> 00:12:15,240
third
354
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,740
and that's where he's continuing to see
355
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,540
now you look a little further back there
356
00:12:16,740 --> 00:12:20,519
you can see that Cameron beauvier has
357
00:12:18,540 --> 00:12:22,380
muscled his way into fifth place through
358
00:12:20,519 --> 00:12:23,820
on Escalante as he goes wide though
359
00:12:22,380 --> 00:12:24,899
Escalante is going to take that position
360
00:12:23,820 --> 00:12:26,820
back
361
00:12:24,899 --> 00:12:28,380
aerial support provided by Lucas Oil
362
00:12:26,820 --> 00:12:30,720
helicopter and there's a pass Jay
363
00:12:28,380 --> 00:12:33,120
Cameron bobier goes back by Escalante so
364
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,980
cam got into Charlotte's Web a little
365
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,839
bit deep round and wide Escalante snuck
366
00:12:34,980 --> 00:12:38,339
back up Underneath Him power that BMW
367
00:12:36,839 --> 00:12:41,339
though he was able to square it up and
368
00:12:38,339 --> 00:12:43,139
run back past Escalante on the run down
369
00:12:41,339 --> 00:12:44,760
towards Museum corner so many good
370
00:12:43,139 --> 00:12:47,160
changes for that Vision wheel m4x Star
371
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:49,800
Suzuki crew including a firmware update
372
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:52,260
on the software that they use
373
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,459
for electronics controlling it so that
374
00:12:52,260 --> 00:12:55,200
team's still learning too what's
375
00:12:53,459 --> 00:12:58,440
available for them that of course change
376
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,820
came right from the retired Moto GP
377
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,740
effort
378
00:12:59,820 --> 00:13:04,260
but looking at Josh Aaron on that War
379
00:13:01,740 --> 00:13:05,519
Horse hsbk Racing Ducati on the number
380
00:13:04,260 --> 00:13:07,500
two and there's Matthew Schultz right
381
00:13:05,519 --> 00:13:09,180
behind him now Jay I've mentioned at the
382
00:13:07,500 --> 00:13:11,279
top of the show as skulls goes trying to
383
00:13:09,180 --> 00:13:13,500
go up the inside Scolton that Westby
384
00:13:11,279 --> 00:13:15,600
racing Yamaha R1 has won twice here on a
385
00:13:13,500 --> 00:13:18,779
super bite but don't forget he also won
386
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:21,600
one of his super bike races on that
387
00:13:18,779 --> 00:13:23,940
stock thousand machine some years ago in
388
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,800
the rain so sculpt's both good here in
389
00:13:23,940 --> 00:13:27,480
the rain and in the dry
390
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,399
and we're expecting good things for
391
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:32,279
skulls as he's really starting to come
392
00:13:29,399 --> 00:13:34,980
into form a big firmware update for the
393
00:13:32,279 --> 00:13:37,139
Yamaha r1s this season as well as skull
394
00:13:34,980 --> 00:13:39,839
trying to get a drive on the Ducati they
395
00:13:37,139 --> 00:13:41,519
go side by side Heron lets off the lever
396
00:13:39,839 --> 00:13:43,320
Greg Scott's got up alongside of him
397
00:13:41,519 --> 00:13:45,480
talking to Heron he says Jason he said
398
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:47,279
the thing is is I can get I can't get
399
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,200
into a rhythm I can get one or two laps
400
00:13:47,279 --> 00:13:51,480
under my belt and then things start to
401
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,980
happen uh with the rear tire and I
402
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,260
cannot find the Rhythm that I need to
403
00:13:52,980 --> 00:13:56,820
find so what it's causing Greg is some
404
00:13:55,260 --> 00:13:58,260
of the lack of mid Corner speed that he
405
00:13:56,820 --> 00:13:59,639
has he tries to make up for it down the
406
00:13:58,260 --> 00:14:02,220
straightaway so it kind of messes up his
407
00:13:59,639 --> 00:14:04,620
break points and he just can't find that
408
00:14:02,220 --> 00:14:06,600
spot but I explained to him that you
409
00:14:04,620 --> 00:14:09,180
know when the bike's loose you see Heron
410
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,740
Wright extremely well but we're two laps
411
00:14:09,180 --> 00:14:13,380
in and you can see now they're starting
412
00:14:10,740 --> 00:14:15,300
to kind of get bulked up behind Heron on
413
00:14:13,380 --> 00:14:17,639
the two scoltz will take a shot I
414
00:14:15,300 --> 00:14:19,019
believe again in that last sector when
415
00:14:17,639 --> 00:14:21,839
they come through here up over the top
416
00:14:19,019 --> 00:14:23,160
of this bridge you can see sculpts
417
00:14:21,839 --> 00:14:25,260
trying to roll up on the back of that
418
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:27,000
Ducati and if he can get close enough
419
00:14:25,260 --> 00:14:28,500
he'll wear this up looks like he might
420
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:31,260
try to go up underneath here and he does
421
00:14:28,500 --> 00:14:33,300
a nice move by Matthew Schultz to take
422
00:14:31,260 --> 00:14:35,880
over third spot from Heron and there's
423
00:14:33,300 --> 00:14:38,779
bobier on the number six titler's racing
424
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,779
right behind him Hannah
425
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,959
we're talking talking about Cameron
426
00:14:41,339 --> 00:14:44,699
bobier you know tigers have been a huge
427
00:14:42,959 --> 00:14:46,980
topic of conversation here this weekend
428
00:14:44,699 --> 00:14:48,660
Cameron beaumier is the only writer that
429
00:14:46,980 --> 00:14:50,339
opted for that harder compound rear so
430
00:14:48,660 --> 00:14:51,899
that R5 compound when I spoke with him
431
00:14:50,339 --> 00:14:53,639
he said he got about eight or nine Laps
432
00:14:51,899 --> 00:14:54,959
on both the softer and the harder
433
00:14:53,639 --> 00:14:56,459
compounds and he said he wasn't feeling
434
00:14:54,959 --> 00:14:58,980
the lap times coming to him as quickly
435
00:14:56,459 --> 00:15:01,199
on that R3 so that is why he opted to go
436
00:14:58,980 --> 00:15:02,279
with that R5 but keep an eye on him from
437
00:15:01,199 --> 00:15:03,600
the middle to the end of the race
438
00:15:02,279 --> 00:15:04,800
because he said you know the tire
439
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,120
degradation is going to hold up
440
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,740
hopefully a little bit better for him on
441
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:10,139
that BMW and the rider right behind
442
00:15:07,740 --> 00:15:11,399
camera bobier the 54 of Richie Escalante
443
00:15:10,139 --> 00:15:13,199
Jay when I spoke to him about the
444
00:15:11,399 --> 00:15:15,240
difference between the R5 which is the
445
00:15:13,199 --> 00:15:17,820
harder option compound that we have here
446
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:19,800
from Dunlop versus the R3 Escalante said
447
00:15:17,820 --> 00:15:21,779
look there's about a one second lap
448
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,940
difference in terms of speed so what do
449
00:15:21,779 --> 00:15:25,260
you do do you go with the R5 and try to
450
00:15:23,940 --> 00:15:27,120
slow the pace down at the beginning and
451
00:15:25,260 --> 00:15:28,740
hope you have Tire towards the end or do
452
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,660
you put that R3 on and just go for it
453
00:15:28,740 --> 00:15:32,459
but that was before the sun came out
454
00:15:30,660 --> 00:15:34,380
yeah before the sun came out and also
455
00:15:32,459 --> 00:15:35,940
it's a lot easier when you feel like you
456
00:15:34,380 --> 00:15:38,160
have the pace on everybody else you can
457
00:15:35,940 --> 00:15:39,480
plan things a little bit better the last
458
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,220
thing you want to do is put yourself up
459
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,240
on a tire though Greg there's going to
460
00:15:41,220 --> 00:15:45,480
be so much different than everybody
461
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:46,800
else's or a different strategy than
462
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,600
everybody else if you don't think it's
463
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:51,120
going to be long lasting so right now
464
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:53,220
cam is up the back of Heron and he saw
465
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,899
what Schultz did a couple laps ago let's
466
00:15:53,220 --> 00:15:56,940
see if Camp can square this up he can't
467
00:15:54,899 --> 00:15:58,920
Aaron's doing everything he can to hold
468
00:15:56,940 --> 00:16:00,899
on to this position you see bobier up
469
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:03,240
out of the seat there's Escalante and
470
00:16:00,899 --> 00:16:05,040
give a shout out also PJ Jacobson right
471
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:08,399
on the back of these guys also on
472
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:10,019
another titler's BMW so PJ Jacobson who
473
00:16:08,399 --> 00:16:11,699
we have seen finished third here last
474
00:16:10,019 --> 00:16:13,920
year he passed Petrucci in the last
475
00:16:11,699 --> 00:16:16,440
Corner last year to NAB that final
476
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:18,959
Podium spot and he has found himself in
477
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:20,880
that in that battle for third again Josh
478
00:16:18,959 --> 00:16:22,440
Herron on the red motorcycle there on
479
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,899
the war horse agents for K racing Ducati
480
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:27,600
that is the pentagoli v4r a factory bike
481
00:16:24,899 --> 00:16:29,940
coming right out of Ducati in Italy and
482
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,800
then of course you have the BMW m1000rr
483
00:16:29,940 --> 00:16:33,660
of Cameron bobies he sneaks up the
484
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,940
inside of Charlotte's Web the doors open
485
00:16:33,660 --> 00:16:38,160
though and there comes Aaron who forces
486
00:16:35,940 --> 00:16:39,660
the issue will Escalante go with him but
487
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,579
I think Cam's gonna have a run this is
488
00:16:39,660 --> 00:16:43,259
the thing he did last with Escalante
489
00:16:41,579 --> 00:16:44,699
bobies tries to get up underneath and
490
00:16:43,259 --> 00:16:46,259
he's going to make the pass stick so
491
00:16:44,699 --> 00:16:48,300
even though he runs it in there a little
492
00:16:46,259 --> 00:16:49,800
wide he runs the bike out gets the bike
493
00:16:48,300 --> 00:16:51,660
squared up gets it up off the edge of
494
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:54,120
the tire it is still able to out drive
495
00:16:51,660 --> 00:16:56,279
guys on the exit of Charlotte's Web
496
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:58,079
all the while Jake gagne has got a 1.7
497
00:16:56,279 --> 00:17:00,000
second lead over Cameron Peterson who's
498
00:16:58,079 --> 00:17:02,220
in second place and then Matthews
499
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:05,179
Matthew Schultz off in third so we have
500
00:17:02,220 --> 00:17:07,319
a trio of Yamahas as it looks like
501
00:17:05,179 --> 00:17:08,939
Escalante going up the inside of Heron
502
00:17:07,319 --> 00:17:10,980
yeah that's a that was a move that he
503
00:17:08,939 --> 00:17:12,900
set up through those s's as well he gets
504
00:17:10,980 --> 00:17:14,220
really loose Greg as they come up over
505
00:17:12,900 --> 00:17:15,839
the top of the hill Heron's going to
506
00:17:14,220 --> 00:17:17,579
stuff it back up underneath let's see if
507
00:17:15,839 --> 00:17:19,260
Escalante can square him up he's not
508
00:17:17,579 --> 00:17:20,819
going to be able to Heron in that
509
00:17:19,260 --> 00:17:23,099
racecraft great he was able to hold the
510
00:17:20,819 --> 00:17:24,959
bike down and now look at PJ Jacobson
511
00:17:23,099 --> 00:17:27,240
taking a shot at Escalante he's going to
512
00:17:24,959 --> 00:17:29,760
make that pass up underneath the Suzuki
513
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:31,559
Rider Escalante squares that back up the
514
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,880
BMW should be pretty strong down the
515
00:17:31,559 --> 00:17:34,440
straight it'll be difficult for
516
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,059
Escalante to do anything in turn one as
517
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,919
it is especially with the likes of PJ
518
00:17:36,059 --> 00:17:40,320
Jacobs and there's Ashton Yates on the
519
00:17:37,919 --> 00:17:43,080
22 back in eight spot we caught a
520
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:46,740
glimpse of him for just a moment
521
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:49,740
on the Aftercare Chevy racing BMW s 1000
522
00:17:46,740 --> 00:17:52,260
the difference S1000RR and the m1000rr
523
00:17:49,740 --> 00:17:55,260
the m1000 of course being the flagship
524
00:17:52,260 --> 00:17:57,360
bike for BMW brand as Cameron bobier
525
00:17:55,260 --> 00:18:00,360
down into Charlotte's Web this battle
526
00:17:57,360 --> 00:18:02,700
continues this is Raging on for sixth
527
00:18:00,360 --> 00:18:04,559
and seventh place on the racetrack
528
00:18:02,700 --> 00:18:06,480
Escalante literally saw himself in
529
00:18:04,559 --> 00:18:08,580
fourth place for a minute and a small
530
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:10,559
Bobble in that right-hander allowed
531
00:18:08,580 --> 00:18:12,299
these other two to get some momentum on
532
00:18:10,559 --> 00:18:14,460
him he finds himself back in six as you
533
00:18:12,299 --> 00:18:16,620
see bobier pulling ever so slightly away
534
00:18:14,460 --> 00:18:19,140
from Heron Herron still charging trying
535
00:18:16,620 --> 00:18:21,299
to pull away from this group behind him
536
00:18:19,140 --> 00:18:24,059
yeah but Escalante I was talking with
537
00:18:21,299 --> 00:18:25,980
him earlier about these issues with the
538
00:18:24,059 --> 00:18:27,539
tire with the cold tearing on the tire
539
00:18:25,980 --> 00:18:29,160
and this is the window where he said
540
00:18:27,539 --> 00:18:31,140
things started to become a problem for
541
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:33,120
him and we saw him up and out of the
542
00:18:31,140 --> 00:18:34,320
saddle here's a look at Escalante the
543
00:18:33,120 --> 00:18:36,059
54. you're gonna see it goes up
544
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:38,340
underneath him when he gets off throttle
545
00:18:36,059 --> 00:18:39,660
as he lets off the gas here the rear of
546
00:18:38,340 --> 00:18:41,400
the bike starts to come around on him
547
00:18:39,660 --> 00:18:43,559
great you can see it the rear the bike
548
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:46,020
starts moving around and uh and that's
549
00:18:43,559 --> 00:18:47,640
off gas and you don't want those off gas
550
00:18:46,020 --> 00:18:49,380
high sights can be really nasty so
551
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,240
Escalante had a little bit of that
552
00:18:49,380 --> 00:18:54,500
uphill that kind of saved him there but
553
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,500
he lost all of his momentum
554
00:18:54,539 --> 00:18:59,760
long two long right-hand Corners here at
555
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:01,260
Barber Motorsports Park and really work
556
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,520
that side of the tire
557
00:19:01,260 --> 00:19:05,520
[Music]
558
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:07,500
good look at Josh Herron
559
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:10,440
his first year
560
00:19:07,500 --> 00:19:12,539
on this war horse hsbk racing BMW leader
561
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:14,220
on the left part of your screen as our
562
00:19:12,539 --> 00:19:16,200
aerial support provided by Lucas Oil
563
00:19:14,220 --> 00:19:17,520
helicopter you know you know one of the
564
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,840
hardest things and it looks like a
565
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,700
couple of the writers including hearing
566
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,679
are having to see how much his bike is
567
00:19:20,700 --> 00:19:24,539
moving off throttle when he tips into a
568
00:19:22,679 --> 00:19:25,919
corner and what it does is you have to
569
00:19:24,539 --> 00:19:27,360
wait for the bike to get back up
570
00:19:25,919 --> 00:19:28,740
underneath you before you can really do
571
00:19:27,360 --> 00:19:30,840
anything you almost get in that moment
572
00:19:28,740 --> 00:19:32,220
Greg where you you have to just stop
573
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,080
everything you're doing so when he goes
574
00:19:32,220 --> 00:19:35,460
and he tips off into these turns it
575
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,140
looks like the Ducati and a couple of
576
00:19:35,460 --> 00:19:39,720
the other bikes as well just start to
577
00:19:37,140 --> 00:19:41,160
move around and it's not allowing Josh
578
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,020
to kind of get the corner the way he
579
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,400
wants to get it so then what you end up
580
00:19:43,020 --> 00:19:45,360
doing is you try to make up that time on
581
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,100
the exit
582
00:19:45,360 --> 00:19:48,720
getting on the gas then starts to wear
583
00:19:47,100 --> 00:19:51,120
that tire out and just that problem
584
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,919
continues to manifest you can see how
585
00:19:51,120 --> 00:19:54,600
much from that left to right there
586
00:19:52,919 --> 00:19:56,760
Heron's just having to slow the bike
587
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,320
down and uh I can see a little bit now
588
00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:00,179
what he was talking to me about earlier
589
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,500
left part of your screen is our scoring
590
00:20:00,179 --> 00:20:05,160
pylon you can see the difference between
591
00:20:01,500 --> 00:20:07,140
gagne 2.3 over Peterson 3.1 over sculpts
592
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:09,600
then you have bobier in fourth place
593
00:20:07,140 --> 00:20:11,640
this is the battle for fifth sixth and
594
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:15,000
seventh between Aaron number two 99
595
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:17,820
Jacobson and the 54 Escalante here's a
596
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:19,500
look at our race leader Jake gagne of
597
00:20:17,820 --> 00:20:22,320
course coming into this tied in points
598
00:20:19,500 --> 00:20:23,460
for the top
599
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,020
leaderboard
600
00:20:23,460 --> 00:20:27,120
and Jace gives us a really good
601
00:20:25,020 --> 00:20:29,820
opportunity to see how Kanye you know
602
00:20:27,120 --> 00:20:31,500
with with cold tearing on these tires I
603
00:20:29,820 --> 00:20:33,660
started thinking to myself is gagne
604
00:20:31,500 --> 00:20:35,220
tends to make more of his speed per lap
605
00:20:33,660 --> 00:20:36,900
on the rear end of the motorcycle now
606
00:20:35,220 --> 00:20:40,200
keep in mind one of the most talented
607
00:20:36,900 --> 00:20:42,179
Racers we've ever seen in Jake gagne and
608
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:45,140
that Motocross style he loves it moving
609
00:20:42,179 --> 00:20:45,140
around Hannah what do you think
610
00:20:45,179 --> 00:20:48,660
speaking of writing style I talked to
611
00:20:47,100 --> 00:20:50,340
Jake about this I said how does the
612
00:20:48,660 --> 00:20:51,780
Yamaha really lend itself to this
613
00:20:50,340 --> 00:20:53,760
circuit into your riding style and he
614
00:20:51,780 --> 00:20:55,559
said the Yamaha is great at this track
615
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,120
because you spend so much time on the
616
00:20:55,559 --> 00:20:58,980
edge of the tire and it just handles
617
00:20:57,120 --> 00:21:00,480
through the turns really well so it's
618
00:20:58,980 --> 00:21:02,880
kind of funny that he said that and then
619
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:04,500
our top three are all three Yamahas and
620
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,360
you know adding to that Hannah just
621
00:21:04,500 --> 00:21:08,160
watching him now he does so much less
622
00:21:06,360 --> 00:21:10,260
with his upper body under breaking than
623
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,820
he did before like now Greg if you
624
00:21:10,260 --> 00:21:14,220
remember before we see that bike moving
625
00:21:11,820 --> 00:21:16,080
side to side underneath him so much and
626
00:21:14,220 --> 00:21:17,640
he just doesn't look like that as much
627
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,960
anymore here's a good look at cam
628
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:22,200
Peterson he's about two and a half
629
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:23,940
seconds back and he gets way way out
630
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:26,160
there way more comfortable than I'd be
631
00:21:23,940 --> 00:21:27,660
comfortable getting uh up on top of that
632
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,520
Curbing and getting as close to that
633
00:21:27,660 --> 00:21:31,860
grass so Camp Peterson right now about
634
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:34,919
two and a half seconds back 23-6 for his
635
00:21:31,860 --> 00:21:36,419
teammate last time 24-1 for Peterson put
636
00:21:34,919 --> 00:21:38,039
that perspective skoltz just there in
637
00:21:36,419 --> 00:21:39,480
the background on the 11 is you're going
638
00:21:38,039 --> 00:21:41,700
to get a good look at the Westby Rider
639
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:44,220
now he went 24 flat the last time
640
00:21:41,700 --> 00:21:46,260
through so he's gained the 10th or so on
641
00:21:44,220 --> 00:21:49,500
Peterson the last two laps all of our
642
00:21:46,260 --> 00:21:51,179
leaders 24-0 24-1 and 24-0 respectively
643
00:21:49,500 --> 00:21:53,940
for the three Yamahas up at the front
644
00:21:51,179 --> 00:21:55,740
last 13 times racing here at Barber
645
00:21:53,940 --> 00:21:57,539
Motorsports Park in The Medallion
646
00:21:55,740 --> 00:21:59,100
Superbike class for Matthew Schultz he's
647
00:21:57,539 --> 00:22:00,419
been on the podium 10 times trying to
648
00:21:59,100 --> 00:22:02,700
make it 11.
649
00:22:00,419 --> 00:22:05,460
and the biggest thing Jay in in talking
650
00:22:02,700 --> 00:22:07,020
with the team was that they felt like
651
00:22:05,460 --> 00:22:08,700
they they feel like they made a big jump
652
00:22:07,020 --> 00:22:12,059
as we have another pass it looks like
653
00:22:08,700 --> 00:22:14,039
it's going to be CJ Jacobson oh and poor
654
00:22:12,059 --> 00:22:16,919
Herron has to check up on that one as PJ
655
00:22:14,039 --> 00:22:17,770
really put the anchor out to slow down
656
00:22:16,919 --> 00:22:19,080
the 99
657
00:22:17,770 --> 00:22:21,539
[Music]
658
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:23,640
all the while Cameron bobier just part
659
00:22:21,539 --> 00:22:26,340
of that part of your screen teammates to
660
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:27,840
PJ Jacobson I can see PJ's bike moving
661
00:22:26,340 --> 00:22:29,580
around two on Entry just into that
662
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,260
right-hander and that's that's a really
663
00:22:29,580 --> 00:22:33,539
hard Corner as well Greg it's also
664
00:22:31,260 --> 00:22:35,280
somewhat semi-blind as you go through
665
00:22:33,539 --> 00:22:37,080
there now Escalante is going to try to
666
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,340
take a a nibble at Heron and I think
667
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,080
that he'll try to do it out of this
668
00:22:38,340 --> 00:22:41,940
right-hander going down to the same
669
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:44,039
place as he did it before you see
670
00:22:41,940 --> 00:22:45,419
Heron's bike is just extremely loose
671
00:22:44,039 --> 00:22:47,100
down through there and he's just doing
672
00:22:45,419 --> 00:22:49,380
everything he can to fight to keep as
673
00:22:47,100 --> 00:22:51,539
many people behind him
674
00:22:49,380 --> 00:22:53,400
keep in mind the sophistication of
675
00:22:51,539 --> 00:22:54,780
course of the Duke Gotti Superbike that
676
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,640
Aaron's on
677
00:22:54,780 --> 00:22:57,720
they have different map options of
678
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,700
course to play with the different
679
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,200
traction controls too PJ gets up
680
00:22:59,700 --> 00:23:02,940
underneath really just trying to stop
681
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,919
the bike from letting him run out too
682
00:23:02,940 --> 00:23:06,240
wide to not allow Heron to go back up
683
00:23:04,919 --> 00:23:07,740
underneath him and that's what you could
684
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:10,559
see there he was really pulling on that
685
00:23:07,740 --> 00:23:12,539
lever as you had said to make it so that
686
00:23:10,559 --> 00:23:14,039
cutback couldn't happen
687
00:23:12,539 --> 00:23:15,840
looking at the timing and scoring
688
00:23:14,039 --> 00:23:17,520
screens looking at PJ Jacobson but also
689
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,799
looking at Jake Ghana his fastest lap of
690
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:21,539
the race at 122-8 he's backed out of
691
00:23:19,799 --> 00:23:24,240
that about a second and a half so a
692
00:23:21,539 --> 00:23:26,039
124-3 now comfortably just maintaining
693
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:28,320
that two and a half second lead over
694
00:23:26,039 --> 00:23:30,000
Cameron Peterson but this is the problem
695
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:32,220
when you get back into these battles and
696
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:34,260
you're Racing for position and points as
697
00:23:32,220 --> 00:23:35,760
we're still early on in the season
698
00:23:34,260 --> 00:23:38,400
you've got to push beyond your comfort
699
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:40,799
level to keep this pace up
700
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,539
so Richie Escalante Vision wheel M4 X
701
00:23:40,799 --> 00:23:44,280
Star Suzuki really starting to come into
702
00:23:42,539 --> 00:23:46,559
his own he had a good qualifying effort
703
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:48,240
but still working to develop that bike
704
00:23:46,559 --> 00:23:50,880
more parts coming in during the course
705
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:53,640
of the season to keep improving this
706
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:55,860
aging GSXR 1000 that still performs at
707
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:59,280
such a high level compared to this
708
00:23:55,860 --> 00:24:01,799
relatively new fresh from Italy Ducati
709
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:03,840
panigale v4r last lap Escalante rolled
710
00:24:01,799 --> 00:24:05,280
up too close to Heron through here and
711
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,080
this time he's a little bit further back
712
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,820
and he needs to be able to get the drive
713
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,559
and go down the inside here rather than
714
00:24:08,820 --> 00:24:11,580
the outside kind of what do you got on
715
00:24:10,559 --> 00:24:13,740
Richie
716
00:24:11,580 --> 00:24:15,179
well Greg mentioned how much that Richie
717
00:24:13,740 --> 00:24:17,340
has really grown and he's really finally
718
00:24:15,179 --> 00:24:18,840
feeling like a super bike racer he said
719
00:24:17,340 --> 00:24:20,400
being with the same team for the last
720
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,960
two years in a row also gives him
721
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,400
confidence he feels at home he really
722
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,440
trusts them he says they are
723
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,659
continuously working to give him all of
724
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,220
the tools for success and they made some
725
00:24:27,659 --> 00:24:31,320
small setting changes to help with more
726
00:24:29,220 --> 00:24:33,840
grip but also make the bike a little bit
727
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:36,890
calmer for him so that will it will
728
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:39,380
contribute better to his Focus
729
00:24:36,890 --> 00:24:42,960
[Music]
730
00:24:39,380 --> 00:24:45,360
so lap 11 of 16.
731
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:47,100
and we're looking at PJ Jacobson leading
732
00:24:45,360 --> 00:24:49,860
Josh Herron and Richie Escalante that's
733
00:24:47,100 --> 00:24:51,120
fifth sixth and seventh as Gautier still
734
00:24:49,860 --> 00:24:54,000
continues to lead two and a half seconds
735
00:24:51,120 --> 00:24:55,740
away from cam Peterson who's got a 2.7
736
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,020
second lead over Matthew Schultz that's
737
00:24:55,740 --> 00:25:00,059
currently your Podium and a little bit
738
00:24:58,020 --> 00:25:01,620
of movement coming from Escalante on the
739
00:25:00,059 --> 00:25:03,480
54.
740
00:25:01,620 --> 00:25:05,039
and he had a big run on here and there
741
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:07,080
looking out the window and watching them
742
00:25:05,039 --> 00:25:08,940
come out of that turn four grade he had
743
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,380
a really big run but Heron is so late on
744
00:25:08,940 --> 00:25:12,780
the brakes but look at the Ducati how
745
00:25:10,380 --> 00:25:14,100
much it's moving around on him I mean he
746
00:25:12,780 --> 00:25:15,900
was well down the straightaway and that
747
00:25:14,100 --> 00:25:17,460
bike was still moving around a lot now I
748
00:25:15,900 --> 00:25:19,320
really do feel like Escalante's Best
749
00:25:17,460 --> 00:25:21,179
Shot here is to come out of this
750
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:23,580
right-hander they're going to come out
751
00:25:21,179 --> 00:25:25,200
of here in second grade up third
752
00:25:23,580 --> 00:25:26,580
up fourth and then what they'll do is
753
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,140
they'll fling it into this left and
754
00:25:26,580 --> 00:25:29,340
escalant just got to hold back just a
755
00:25:28,140 --> 00:25:30,600
little so he can run through the middle
756
00:25:29,340 --> 00:25:32,400
of this right hand and put himself on
757
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,380
the left-hand side just like that that's
758
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:36,000
what he's got to try to do and now let's
759
00:25:34,380 --> 00:25:38,279
see if he can get by not quite again
760
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,840
close enough as Heron is just so good at
761
00:25:38,279 --> 00:25:41,700
driving it off into the corners and it's
762
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,020
an exhausting way to ride but that's
763
00:25:41,700 --> 00:25:44,220
what he's having to do right now and
764
00:25:43,020 --> 00:25:45,720
talking to most of these medallions
765
00:25:44,220 --> 00:25:47,880
Superbike Racers about the difference
766
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:50,100
between Road Atlanta and Barber
767
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:52,500
Motorsports Park in terms of physicality
768
00:25:50,100 --> 00:25:55,679
they all said that barber Motor Sports
769
00:25:52,500 --> 00:25:58,860
Park because of the repave from 2019 it
770
00:25:55,679 --> 00:26:01,260
makes it so so like great with the flow
771
00:25:58,860 --> 00:26:03,299
it's a flowy race track that it's not as
772
00:26:01,260 --> 00:26:04,919
physically demanding but Jay looking at
773
00:26:03,299 --> 00:26:07,020
what Heron's having to do to wrestle his
774
00:26:04,919 --> 00:26:09,000
Ducati as well as Richie Escalante to
775
00:26:07,020 --> 00:26:10,440
wrestle that Suzuki I'm sure this is
776
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:13,260
going to take a toll physically on both
777
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:15,120
these Riders who are super fit but still
778
00:26:13,260 --> 00:26:16,919
there's a lot of movement and a lot of
779
00:26:15,120 --> 00:26:18,600
work to be done in the saddle and on the
780
00:26:16,919 --> 00:26:20,460
bars yeah there's no question here and
781
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,840
again let's see Escalante didn't get as
782
00:26:20,460 --> 00:26:23,400
good of a drive that time as they went
783
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,440
up over the top there so he wasn't able
784
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,240
to get as close so get a good look here
785
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:29,640
from the top
786
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:31,020
with our Lucas Oil helicopter Greg and
787
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,640
these they'll come out of here now watch
788
00:26:31,020 --> 00:26:34,260
Heron's bike it'll it just moves around
789
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,460
it's still moving look at it seeing it
790
00:26:34,260 --> 00:26:37,200
[Â __Â ] and weaving all over the place
791
00:26:35,460 --> 00:26:38,880
as it comes up over the top of the hill
792
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,380
so hair is doing everything he can't you
793
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,480
can't on the exits but where he's really
794
00:26:40,380 --> 00:26:44,460
doing the damage is running off into
795
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,960
these Corners he's really late breaking
796
00:26:44,460 --> 00:26:48,539
hard to make it a lot harder for
797
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:50,700
Escalante who in a couple spots is able
798
00:26:48,539 --> 00:26:53,159
to just drive it up on him
799
00:26:50,700 --> 00:26:55,140
got about four and a half laps to go the
800
00:26:53,159 --> 00:26:57,120
battle for sixth place between number
801
00:26:55,140 --> 00:26:59,279
two Josh Sharon number 54 Chase galante
802
00:26:57,120 --> 00:27:00,779
Escalante trying that move but he just
803
00:26:59,279 --> 00:27:02,700
ran out of real estate yeah but see this
804
00:27:00,779 --> 00:27:06,000
is what I'm saying what Heron's doing is
805
00:27:02,700 --> 00:27:07,380
he knows that he's he he is got somebody
806
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,179
behind him that is going to be able to
807
00:27:07,380 --> 00:27:10,500
go down the left side Heron's using up
808
00:27:09,179 --> 00:27:12,600
all the racetrack like he should be
809
00:27:10,500 --> 00:27:14,880
using there to try to thwart that effort
810
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,440
you heard him say even in Atlanta you
811
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,000
know he tried to move over to the rights
812
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,020
or somebody goes by him on the left and
813
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,360
that's what he's trying to do here is
814
00:27:19,020 --> 00:27:23,340
Escalante takes a look here so rich he's
815
00:27:21,360 --> 00:27:25,559
Richie's trying in one like probably two
816
00:27:23,340 --> 00:27:27,240
or three different spots Escalante's
817
00:27:25,559 --> 00:27:28,980
trying to get his this pass on Heron and
818
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,240
you can see a little loss of momentum
819
00:27:28,980 --> 00:27:31,740
out of there because of a shot that he
820
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,120
took going into the left allowed Heron
821
00:27:31,740 --> 00:27:34,320
to pull back away over so slightly but
822
00:27:33,120 --> 00:27:35,880
the other thing I'm noticing too on
823
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:38,760
Heron's bike is that off throttle
824
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:41,460
movement so going through turns 15 and
825
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:43,020
16 those long right-handers the movement
826
00:27:41,460 --> 00:27:44,460
on the Ducati right now and that of
827
00:27:43,020 --> 00:27:46,559
course is something that we knew was
828
00:27:44,460 --> 00:27:49,320
coming with the way that these tires
829
00:27:46,559 --> 00:27:51,000
have been cold tearing this weekend
830
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,679
as I mentioned at the top of the show
831
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:55,799
this was originally scheduled for 20
832
00:27:52,679 --> 00:27:58,440
laps and Dunlop who's the tire supplier
833
00:27:55,799 --> 00:28:00,120
here for Moto America decided Hey listen
834
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,440
we're going to reduce it down to 16.
835
00:28:00,120 --> 00:28:03,360
we're going to analyze the tires after
836
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:05,760
this race and we'll make a decision on
837
00:28:03,360 --> 00:28:07,080
the length of the race tomorrow what's
838
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,760
helped I think a bit of the tire
839
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:11,460
performance is the sun is poked through
840
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:13,500
up until probably two or three hours ago
841
00:28:11,460 --> 00:28:14,520
it was nothing but cloud cover since we
842
00:28:13,500 --> 00:28:16,919
got here
843
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:18,360
keeping the racetrack nice and cool so
844
00:28:16,919 --> 00:28:21,480
you have two guys
845
00:28:18,360 --> 00:28:23,520
battling it out for six places gagne
846
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:26,400
Ken Peterson is chipped away at his lead
847
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:28,500
it's now down to 1.7 seconds up front
848
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,640
Escalante still trying to find a way
849
00:28:28,500 --> 00:28:31,380
around
850
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,720
and one of the things again talking with
851
00:28:31,380 --> 00:28:35,460
Heron he talked about you know we said
852
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,559
it's a long season isn't it Greg I mean
853
00:28:35,460 --> 00:28:39,539
it is a long season unfortunately
854
00:28:37,559 --> 00:28:41,700
neither one of these two guys are close
855
00:28:39,539 --> 00:28:43,140
to the to the lead today but you got to
856
00:28:41,700 --> 00:28:44,700
bag these points you got to put them in
857
00:28:43,140 --> 00:28:46,500
as you can see he's going to take a
858
00:28:44,700 --> 00:28:48,480
bigger stab this time he just can't make
859
00:28:46,500 --> 00:28:50,640
it work Aaron just lets go the lever and
860
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:52,799
turns the bike in so the thing is it's a
861
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,059
long season I know it's a battle for six
862
00:28:52,799 --> 00:28:55,980
but you've got to get these points
863
00:28:54,059 --> 00:28:57,299
because I think come Road America some
864
00:28:55,980 --> 00:28:59,100
of the other tracks we're going to see
865
00:28:57,299 --> 00:29:01,260
those four five six Rider freight trains
866
00:28:59,100 --> 00:29:03,299
at the front and uh what you don't want
867
00:29:01,260 --> 00:29:05,220
to do is give your competitors
868
00:29:03,299 --> 00:29:08,700
throw away points so both these guys
869
00:29:05,220 --> 00:29:10,020
right now charging hard long season try
870
00:29:08,700 --> 00:29:11,820
to get the bike home as best you can
871
00:29:10,020 --> 00:29:13,140
Escalante again with another good run as
872
00:29:11,820 --> 00:29:15,179
they come up over the top of turn four
873
00:29:13,140 --> 00:29:18,419
but just incredible racecraft here by
874
00:29:15,179 --> 00:29:19,919
the number two down into Charlotte's Web
875
00:29:18,419 --> 00:29:21,659
well he's right in the front tires what
876
00:29:19,919 --> 00:29:24,480
Aaron's doing he's he's running that
877
00:29:21,659 --> 00:29:26,340
front tire as hard as he can and like I
878
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:28,140
said this is a tribute also to the
879
00:29:26,340 --> 00:29:29,539
fitness because we you know you see that
880
00:29:28,140 --> 00:29:32,100
thing movement right yeah
881
00:29:29,539 --> 00:29:33,899
you're pointing to the screen and and
882
00:29:32,100 --> 00:29:35,399
he's using his legs a lot in that
883
00:29:33,899 --> 00:29:36,960
particular case he's got to get his butt
884
00:29:35,399 --> 00:29:38,220
up off the seat otherwise you feel every
885
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:41,760
one of those bumps as you can see how
886
00:29:38,220 --> 00:29:43,860
close Escalante was to him there
887
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:45,059
that's really I mean it's almost lap to
888
00:29:43,860 --> 00:29:47,460
lap where you're having to assess the
889
00:29:45,059 --> 00:29:48,899
situation on what's the best part of the
890
00:29:47,460 --> 00:29:50,340
bike and it's very strange when you're
891
00:29:48,899 --> 00:29:51,600
losing grip on the right side and you
892
00:29:50,340 --> 00:29:54,120
have it on the left side it's almost
893
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:55,380
like like riding on a wet dry track it's
894
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,580
like you're gonna go slow in the wet and
895
00:29:55,380 --> 00:29:59,039
you're going to really Hammer as hard as
896
00:29:56,580 --> 00:30:00,480
you can on the the dry section that's
897
00:29:59,039 --> 00:30:02,279
kind of what it feels like is going on
898
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,899
here as this right side is taking the
899
00:30:02,279 --> 00:30:06,000
most abuse so both these guys are
900
00:30:03,899 --> 00:30:07,980
dealing with different frustrations Josh
901
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,720
can't get into a corner the way he wants
902
00:30:07,980 --> 00:30:11,640
because the bike is doing some things
903
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,020
that he doesn't like Escalante is
904
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,760
frustrated because he's trying to find a
905
00:30:13,020 --> 00:30:16,620
way to pass he's good looked at three or
906
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:18,240
four different areas but in the areas
907
00:30:16,620 --> 00:30:20,399
where he is good and can pull up on the
908
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,240
back Herron is just as good when they
909
00:30:20,399 --> 00:30:23,960
get down to the end of these
910
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:26,580
straightaways under breaking
911
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:29,340
so we're two laps to go as Jake gagne
912
00:30:26,580 --> 00:30:31,020
leads now his lead is still at 1.7
913
00:30:29,340 --> 00:30:33,299
seconds over his teammate Camp Peterson
914
00:30:31,020 --> 00:30:34,620
and Matthew Schultz so Yamaha still
915
00:30:33,299 --> 00:30:37,630
sitting at a one two three Cameron
916
00:30:34,620 --> 00:30:39,260
bobier 3.8 seconds back
917
00:30:37,630 --> 00:30:42,600
[Applause]
918
00:30:39,260 --> 00:30:44,340
from sculpts PJ Jacobson up ahead of
919
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:46,620
this battle between Harry and Escalante
920
00:30:44,340 --> 00:30:48,840
Ashton Yates and eighth Corey Alexander
921
00:30:46,620 --> 00:30:50,760
in ninth David Anthony intense spot here
922
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:52,260
comes a big move is this going to be the
923
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:54,299
pass that finally sticks both
924
00:30:52,260 --> 00:30:56,940
motorcycles spinning the tire but that
925
00:30:54,299 --> 00:30:58,860
Ducati is just so strong but Heron's in
926
00:30:56,940 --> 00:31:00,419
a better spot there but then he's got a
927
00:30:58,860 --> 00:31:02,399
you gotta remember at that point he's
928
00:31:00,419 --> 00:31:04,860
narrower into the corner and the tip-in
929
00:31:02,399 --> 00:31:06,360
is so vital for for Josh right now so
930
00:31:04,860 --> 00:31:08,279
that's gonna again it's gonna be another
931
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,539
kind of scary situation for him he's
932
00:31:08,279 --> 00:31:11,880
going to be tighter cutting off the
933
00:31:09,539 --> 00:31:13,320
radius a little and uh is going to make
934
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,000
that bike move around even more but he
935
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:17,580
did a good job of handling it an
936
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:19,679
Escalante he's having to go the long way
937
00:31:17,580 --> 00:31:21,419
around to try to make these passes
938
00:31:19,679 --> 00:31:23,220
yeah and the long way around is really
939
00:31:21,419 --> 00:31:25,679
difficult especially once they get the
940
00:31:23,220 --> 00:31:28,020
bike up onto the meat of the tire Herron
941
00:31:25,679 --> 00:31:31,980
has got the advantage White Flag flies
942
00:31:28,020 --> 00:31:34,080
final lap for Jake gagne a 124.6 so
943
00:31:31,980 --> 00:31:35,580
again about two seconds slower than the
944
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,960
fastest lap of the race for the number
945
00:31:35,580 --> 00:31:39,419
one plate
946
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,799
1.6 seconds to Gap to his teammate yeah
947
00:31:39,419 --> 00:31:42,960
I was just going to say I believe that
948
00:31:40,799 --> 00:31:44,880
was up over two seconds quite a while uh
949
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,500
for quite a while at this race Camp
950
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,820
Peterson's got that back down a little
951
00:31:46,500 --> 00:31:49,440
bit as you can see the battle on the
952
00:31:47,820 --> 00:31:50,760
right continuing the rage get a good
953
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,440
look at gonyo we haven't seen him much
954
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:54,360
and there's his teammate not far behind
955
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:56,279
so the two Riders are tipping into turn
956
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:58,620
two
957
00:31:56,279 --> 00:31:59,520
it's a really good look at gagne and him
958
00:31:58,620 --> 00:32:01,500
getting
959
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:03,720
the bike turned and trying to get it up
960
00:32:01,500 --> 00:32:05,520
on the tire that's not as worn out
961
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,740
battle for sixth on the right that we've
962
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:09,240
been watching most of this race Aaron
963
00:32:07,740 --> 00:32:11,580
kept it over to the left that time as
964
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,840
they went down to make it to Escalante
965
00:32:11,580 --> 00:32:14,159
can't do anything and this is where
966
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,480
Richie had the bike turned up underneath
967
00:32:14,159 --> 00:32:18,000
him before
968
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:19,620
of course our aerial support provided by
969
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,720
the Lucas Oil helicopter it's what we're
970
00:32:19,620 --> 00:32:23,700
seeing on the right part of your screen
971
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:25,980
as you watch
972
00:32:23,700 --> 00:32:28,260
the riding beauty of Jake gagne the
973
00:32:25,980 --> 00:32:29,880
number one plate what a race he's been
974
00:32:28,260 --> 00:32:31,799
able to manage
975
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:34,500
as Escalante on the right part of your
976
00:32:31,799 --> 00:32:36,419
screen getting closer to Heron again boy
977
00:32:34,500 --> 00:32:38,159
Jay when you can see a bike moving
978
00:32:36,419 --> 00:32:40,140
around the Ducati moving around from the
979
00:32:38,159 --> 00:32:41,940
helicopter shot you can't even imagine
980
00:32:40,140 --> 00:32:44,100
what it feels like on board here comes
981
00:32:41,940 --> 00:32:45,659
the run from Escalante but that's that
982
00:32:44,100 --> 00:32:47,039
racecraft Heron keeps him to the outside
983
00:32:45,659 --> 00:32:49,140
as ganya is coming out of the last
984
00:32:47,039 --> 00:32:51,740
corner and
985
00:32:49,140 --> 00:32:51,740
screen check
986
00:32:54,059 --> 00:32:59,220
ered his 33rd in The Medallion Superbike
987
00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:01,260
career and here comes that battle for
988
00:32:59,220 --> 00:33:03,840
six is Cam Peterson across the line in
989
00:33:01,260 --> 00:33:05,520
third Matthew Schultz as well Escalante
990
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:07,980
is he going to try it on the last lap oh
991
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:10,260
no he doesn't get it done and to the
992
00:33:07,980 --> 00:33:12,840
line they come and what racecraft by
993
00:33:10,260 --> 00:33:15,000
Josh Aaron to take sixth place probably
994
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:18,659
one of the hardest sixth place races in
995
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:20,940
seventh between these two Riders
996
00:33:18,659 --> 00:33:22,380
so it's got to be gagne Peterson Matthew
997
00:33:20,940 --> 00:33:25,200
Schultz
998
00:33:22,380 --> 00:33:26,640
Cameron bobier in fourth and I think all
999
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:29,100
these Riders Jay you know when you know
1000
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:31,799
going into this race what you're faced
1001
00:33:29,100 --> 00:33:33,659
with with rear tire has Gotti has to
1002
00:33:31,799 --> 00:33:35,340
look back like hey maybe that wasn't
1003
00:33:33,659 --> 00:33:36,960
that bad yeah well we'll see I mean
1004
00:33:35,340 --> 00:33:39,059
you're gonna get to know now Dunlop will
1005
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:41,340
go to work and have a look at probably
1006
00:33:39,059 --> 00:33:44,880
all the top 10 front Front Runners here
1007
00:33:41,340 --> 00:33:46,679
to see exactly how everybody's tires
1008
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,840
looked during that race and we did have
1009
00:33:46,679 --> 00:33:51,539
a bit of a variety shout out to uh you
1010
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:53,460
know PJ Jacobson solid top five for him
1011
00:33:51,539 --> 00:33:54,960
and um
1012
00:33:53,460 --> 00:33:56,340
Jay let's look at the race Pace real
1013
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:58,320
quick because this is what Jake gagne
1014
00:33:56,340 --> 00:34:00,659
does if you'll notice lap number two he
1015
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:03,299
puts the fastest lap of the race in with
1016
00:34:00,659 --> 00:34:07,200
that 22-8 by the way
1017
00:34:03,299 --> 00:34:10,918
qualify 22-5 yeah 22-5 yields the the
1018
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:15,000
race oh race lap record was a 22-9 so
1019
00:34:10,918 --> 00:34:16,800
for him great job by hit but Jay it's
1020
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:19,260
that that series elapsed right there
1021
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:22,520
three four five six that got him the Gap
1022
00:34:19,260 --> 00:34:25,560
as he goon rides his way back to the
1023
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:27,060
yeah having some fun Kanye this is the
1024
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:31,918
one guy loves racing this motorcycle
1025
00:34:27,060 --> 00:34:34,080
loves it all right so good race for Jake
1026
00:34:31,918 --> 00:34:35,520
gagne when we come back to Barber
1027
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:39,320
Motorsports Park we're going to talk to
1028
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:39,320
him about how that race went
1029
00:34:44,639 --> 00:34:50,520
wow did we see Riders pushing it to the
1030
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:53,219
absolute limit in that one uh that
1031
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:55,560
battle for that sixth spot absolutely
1032
00:34:53,219 --> 00:34:57,420
spectacular uh but you heard Greg and
1033
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:59,580
Jason talking about that streak of early
1034
00:34:57,420 --> 00:35:02,940
laps that Jake puts in he does it better
1035
00:34:59,580 --> 00:35:05,220
than anybody and one of those laps uh he
1036
00:35:02,940 --> 00:35:07,500
is now the track record holder for a
1037
00:35:05,220 --> 00:35:08,880
race lap uh and he broke his own yeah
1038
00:35:07,500 --> 00:35:10,500
broke his own record and we've been
1039
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:12,660
talking about grip being down a little
1040
00:35:10,500 --> 00:35:14,099
bit this weekend and uh you know he
1041
00:35:12,660 --> 00:35:15,660
comes out there and just does what he
1042
00:35:14,099 --> 00:35:18,180
does practice qualifying and doesn't
1043
00:35:15,660 --> 00:35:19,859
erase and gets a quite a big lead early
1044
00:35:18,180 --> 00:35:22,320
but you know you have to give credit to
1045
00:35:19,859 --> 00:35:24,420
cam Peterson he was uh you know right
1046
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:27,599
there the whole race not too far back
1047
00:35:24,420 --> 00:35:29,280
and then also Matthew Schultz if he
1048
00:35:27,599 --> 00:35:31,140
could have you know the first couple
1049
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,700
laps kind of got hung up there behind a
1050
00:35:31,140 --> 00:35:35,040
couple guys and then once he got into
1051
00:35:32,700 --> 00:35:36,780
third he was doing the same lap times as
1052
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:39,060
the leader so tomorrow if he can get a
1053
00:35:36,780 --> 00:35:41,460
good start I think he could be right up
1054
00:35:39,060 --> 00:35:43,800
there but you know ganye I think is just
1055
00:35:41,460 --> 00:35:45,560
too smart he knows when the tires are a
1056
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:48,000
little greasy like they they are today
1057
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:49,140
mistakes are easy we mentioned it
1058
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,300
earlier you know you don't have to win
1059
00:35:49,140 --> 00:35:52,859
by five seconds he you know once he got
1060
00:35:51,300 --> 00:35:55,020
up to about two seconds he just kind of
1061
00:35:52,859 --> 00:35:57,240
Managed IT and uh you know what a great
1062
00:35:55,020 --> 00:35:59,040
ride by him again and another win
1063
00:35:57,240 --> 00:36:00,599
well and interestingly you know when it
1064
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:02,520
gets hot like it has here this afternoon
1065
00:36:00,599 --> 00:36:03,599
with the sun beating on the track those
1066
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,640
tires are going to come up to Temp
1067
00:36:03,599 --> 00:36:08,160
quicker he took full advantage of that
1068
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:10,140
got that lead so that when they started
1069
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:12,240
to degrade a little bit he could manage
1070
00:36:10,140 --> 00:36:13,980
them pretty well uh and the other story
1071
00:36:12,240 --> 00:36:16,859
you you know your comment there about
1072
00:36:13,980 --> 00:36:19,440
schools uh and maybe even Cameron bobier
1073
00:36:16,859 --> 00:36:22,500
that rocket start by Josh Herron up into
1074
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:23,940
third he didn't have the pace uh to you
1075
00:36:22,500 --> 00:36:25,859
know to run with the guys at the front
1076
00:36:23,940 --> 00:36:27,900
there you could just see it the Ducati
1077
00:36:25,859 --> 00:36:29,940
didn't have grip it had a launch but not
1078
00:36:27,900 --> 00:36:31,680
a lot of grip uh and so he
1079
00:36:29,940 --> 00:36:32,880
understandably he fought like heck to
1080
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,619
stay up there and I think that backed
1081
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:36,000
everybody else up a little bit Yeah I
1082
00:36:34,619 --> 00:36:37,320
think Josh has kind of struggled with
1083
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,760
grip a little bit this week just
1084
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,859
watching it on the screen just looks
1085
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:42,720
like you know Just Tires just you know
1086
00:36:40,859 --> 00:36:44,099
for whatever reason the Ducati just
1087
00:36:42,720 --> 00:36:45,240
looks like it's struggling with grip a
1088
00:36:44,099 --> 00:36:47,280
little bit and you could see in that
1089
00:36:45,240 --> 00:36:49,440
race whenever he was racing with with
1090
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:51,480
Escalante looked like he had more grip
1091
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:53,220
than than Josh where he could get a good
1092
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:55,680
run especially on the edge of the tire
1093
00:36:53,220 --> 00:36:57,119
and when the grip's not as well on the
1094
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,859
edge of the tire like Josh is struggling
1095
00:36:57,119 --> 00:37:00,720
with the bikes can move around a lot
1096
00:36:58,859 --> 00:37:03,119
more and you know we were watching the
1097
00:37:00,720 --> 00:37:06,000
lap times in a race Cambodia did his
1098
00:37:03,119 --> 00:37:07,440
best lap on lap 11 or 12. yeah so uh
1099
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:10,320
definitely starting to figure things out
1100
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:12,359
in that BMW you bet uh they understood
1101
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:14,160
they said we need to work on on the grip
1102
00:37:12,359 --> 00:37:15,960
a little bit get the bike to be a little
1103
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,820
bit better in the corners we we got the
1104
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,619
straight line handled well here and
1105
00:37:17,820 --> 00:37:21,480
Richie askalani I mean what a Relentless
1106
00:37:19,619 --> 00:37:23,220
attack which means an absolutely
1107
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:25,380
brilliant defense by Josh Herron yeah
1108
00:37:23,220 --> 00:37:26,760
great for you know Josh defended he knew
1109
00:37:25,380 --> 00:37:28,260
that's all he could do he was kind of a
1110
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:30,660
setting duck there slipping sliding
1111
00:37:28,260 --> 00:37:32,280
around and you know Escalante kind of
1112
00:37:30,660 --> 00:37:34,020
did the right thing he could have
1113
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:36,720
probably made the pass but they both
1114
00:37:34,020 --> 00:37:38,880
could have crashed absolutely well a lot
1115
00:37:36,720 --> 00:37:41,720
more to come here in our coverage of
1116
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,720

00:38:49,140 --> 00:38:53,160
Greg Jake is going faster than ever and
1144
00:38:51,300 --> 00:38:54,540
at his second victory of the Season Jake
1145
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,920
how were you able to manage the
1146
00:38:54,540 --> 00:38:57,180
beginning of that race until you were
1147
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:57,900
able to pull away from the rest of the
1148
00:38:57,180 --> 00:38:59,940
field
1149
00:38:57,900 --> 00:39:01,980
I mean cam kept me honest the whole time
1150
00:38:59,940 --> 00:39:03,780
I mean right off the bat hats off to
1151
00:39:01,980 --> 00:39:05,220
these Yamahas Yamaha one two three it
1152
00:39:03,780 --> 00:39:08,280
just shows how amazing the r1s are
1153
00:39:05,220 --> 00:39:09,780
working around here uh I knew cam got a
1154
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,640
great start he was running up the inside
1155
00:39:09,780 --> 00:39:14,160
I just sneaked around him on the outside
1156
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:15,720
I knew he wanted to make a move but I
1157
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,460
think those first couple laps Cam and I
1158
00:39:15,720 --> 00:39:18,900
really had a good Pace
1159
00:39:17,460 --> 00:39:20,460
um and I saw a little bit of a gap it
1160
00:39:18,900 --> 00:39:21,900
was like around a second I think he made
1161
00:39:20,460 --> 00:39:23,400
a mistake one lap and it got to around
1162
00:39:21,900 --> 00:39:25,140
two seconds and
1163
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,640
uh you know these times were getting
1164
00:39:25,140 --> 00:39:28,079
slick it was hot and greasy we haven't

00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:30,000

of conversation leading up to the race
1176

00:39:47,700 --> 00:39:51,060
rear how was it feeling underneath you
1178
00:39:49,500 --> 00:39:53,280
with four less laps than originally
1179
00:39:51,060 --> 00:39:55,260
anticipated it was tricky those last
1180
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,880
couple laps no doubt like I said uh even
1181
00:39:55,260 --> 00:39:58,920

keep in touch with Jake early on there
1196
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:26,820
what was the strategy and did things
1197
00:40:24,720 --> 00:40:28,859
kind of shake out how you had hoped
1198
00:40:26,820 --> 00:40:30,900
yeah honestly I try to I'll try to keep
1199
00:40:28,859 --> 00:40:33,420
touch with Jake but um he's just had a
1200
00:40:30,900 --> 00:40:35,099
little Pace on us all weekend and yo
1201
00:40:33,420 --> 00:40:36,480
those first few laps he put it down got
1202
00:40:35,099 --> 00:40:38,099
that Gap and
1203
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,540
like Jake said I just didn't want to
1204
00:40:38,099 --> 00:40:41,520
give up you know I knew these ties were
1205
00:40:39,540 --> 00:40:43,140
going to go off at some point and um
1206
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:45,599
yeah I just kept charging the whole race
1207
00:40:43,140 --> 00:40:47,280
and like Jake said these Yamahas work so
1208
00:40:45,599 --> 00:40:49,619
good around this place and to get one
1209
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:51,000
two three just shows it so uh massive
1210
00:40:49,619 --> 00:40:52,619
thank you to my whole team the whole
1211
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,660
freshman in Progressive attack Yamaha
1212
00:40:52,619 --> 00:40:56,280
just do such a great job and
1213
00:40:54,660 --> 00:40:57,720
stoked to get my first Podium of the
1214
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:59,040
season and and hopefully we keep this
1215
00:40:57,720 --> 00:41:01,740
ball rolling
1216
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:03,119
congrats Camp guys
1217
00:41:01,740 --> 00:41:05,220
I mean it's all you really can do at
1218
00:41:03,119 --> 00:41:06,780
this point I think you know for for cam
1219
00:41:05,220 --> 00:41:08,339
Peterson just keep chipping away at it
1220
00:41:06,780 --> 00:41:09,540
yeah but the thing is is that cam can
1221
00:41:08,339 --> 00:41:11,280
look back at this and he actually was
1222
00:41:09,540 --> 00:41:13,200
closing that gap down a little bit so if
1223
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:14,760
we did have that extra four or five laps
1224
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,320
could have been different let's get back
1225
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:18,240
down to Hannah with Matthew Schultz
1226
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:19,920
Matthew is called to rounding out the
1227
00:41:18,240 --> 00:41:22,380
podium Matt I know that you've made some
1228
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:23,700
big steps from Friday to today how's the
1229
00:41:22,380 --> 00:41:26,099
bike feeling different during that race
1230
00:41:23,700 --> 00:41:27,720
from where you started this weekend ah I
1231
00:41:26,099 --> 00:41:28,920
mean the back felt awesome a big heads
1232
00:41:27,720 --> 00:41:30,060
up to the Westview guys they've been
1233
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,380
working hard
1234
00:41:30,060 --> 00:41:33,300
um the Atlanta round we're a little bit
1235
00:41:31,380 --> 00:41:34,680
behind the ball but we gotcha and we're
1236
00:41:33,300 --> 00:41:37,320
kind of where we where we should be
1237
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:39,119
racing up at the shopping of the field
1238
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,440
um the race didn't really pan out how
1239
00:41:39,119 --> 00:41:42,119
one of the two I really think I have the
1240
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:44,280
pace to go with Cam and Jake but you
1241
00:41:42,119 --> 00:41:45,780
know I had a terrible start
1242
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,160
um definitely one of the weaker points
1243
00:41:45,780 --> 00:41:48,960
of my games we've got to work on that
1244
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,520
but you know just hopefully for the
1245
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:52,560
second race tomorrow get a better start
1246
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:54,240
hang on to cam and Jake and you know I'm
1247
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:56,760
sure they can be three of us yamaha's
1248
00:41:54,240 --> 00:41:57,839
battling up front aside from getting a
1249
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,579
better start what was the biggest
1250
00:41:57,839 --> 00:42:00,960
takeaway from this race that will help
1251
00:41:59,579 --> 00:42:03,240
you for tomorrow
1252
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:04,500
just to get a better start all right
1253
00:42:03,240 --> 00:42:06,480
well there you have it third place today
1254
00:42:04,500 --> 00:42:08,280
goes to Matthew scolds well and after
1255
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:10,140
looking at that race Pace from Jake
1256
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:12,420
gagne that's really the critical it's
1257
00:42:10,140 --> 00:42:15,000
really the most critical thing first of
1258
00:42:12,420 --> 00:42:17,420
all is obviously just race Pace in
1259
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:19,920
general getting out there JP but also
1260
00:42:17,420 --> 00:42:21,900
it's really trying to put a wheel in
1261
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:23,940
front of Jake gagne and try to control
1262
00:42:21,900 --> 00:42:26,160
his Pace yeah and cam Peterson tried to
1263
00:42:23,940 --> 00:42:27,480
do that today and uh but he kept him
1264
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,339
honest for nearly the whole race it was
1265
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:30,900
up to 2.7 I think at one point and we
1266
00:42:29,339 --> 00:42:32,940
saw it get back down to 1.6 with a
1267
00:42:30,900 --> 00:42:34,320
couple ago Kanye said he was trying to
1268
00:42:32,940 --> 00:42:36,300
hang on the best he could there at the
1269
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:38,700
end and um you know again these guys
1270
00:42:36,300 --> 00:42:41,160
will all go back we'll you know they'll
1271
00:42:38,700 --> 00:42:42,180
do a lot of data uh searching tonight to
1272
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:43,859
see what they can do to make things
1273
00:42:42,180 --> 00:42:45,240
better as will the guy in fourth
1274
00:42:43,859 --> 00:42:46,440
Cambodia you know this is you gotta

1278
00:42:50,339 --> 00:42:53,579
BMWs and see if they can make something
1279
00:42:51,720 --> 00:42:54,960
a little bit better for themselves and
1280
00:42:53,579 --> 00:42:56,520

1283
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:03,920
from Barber Motorsports Park in a moment

[Music]
1285
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,920
thank you
1286
00:43:08,579 --> 00:43:11,579
foreign
1287
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:18,359
celebrations unfolding here at Barber
1288
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:20,339
Motorsports Park for race one for The
1289
00:43:18,359 --> 00:43:23,940
Medallion Superbikes there you have it
1290
00:43:20,339 --> 00:43:25,980
gagne Peterson and Scholtz a Yamaha
1291
00:43:23,940 --> 00:43:27,839
sweep of the podium Greg and Jason were
1292
00:43:25,980 --> 00:43:30,540
talking about one of the you know and
1293
00:43:27,839 --> 00:43:32,339
there's so many weapons uh in in Jay
1294
00:43:30,540 --> 00:43:34,500
gagne's quiver here but one of the
1295
00:43:32,339 --> 00:43:37,200
things aside from him his Relentless
1296
00:43:34,500 --> 00:43:39,839
immediate pace is the guy is a rocket at
1297
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:41,460
the start he just gets great starts and
1298
00:43:39,839 --> 00:43:43,740
that's got to be Uber frustrating to
1299
00:43:41,460 --> 00:43:45,780
people who you know we heard Matthew say
1300
00:43:43,740 --> 00:43:47,700
I can I think I've got the pace
1301
00:43:45,780 --> 00:43:49,380
but you know you get balked a little bit
1302
00:43:47,700 --> 00:43:51,480
you know Jake's going to be in the lead
1303
00:43:49,380 --> 00:43:53,220
that's got to just eat at you a little
1304
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:55,260
bit and they have to figure out a way to
1305
00:43:53,220 --> 00:43:56,940
get after him and he qualifies well so
1306
00:43:55,260 --> 00:43:58,800
he puts himself on Pole Position which
1307
00:43:56,940 --> 00:44:01,440
gives him about a half a bike link you
1308
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:03,060
know role or you know starting grids
1309
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,500
about a half a bike link from first to
1310
00:44:03,060 --> 00:44:06,780
second so he gets that little bit of an
1311
00:44:04,500 --> 00:44:08,460
advantage and he takes it and you know
1312
00:44:06,780 --> 00:44:10,140
you could see cam Peterson going in
1313
00:44:08,460 --> 00:44:12,300
there you're one right off the start he
1314
00:44:10,140 --> 00:44:14,099
knew that he was trying not to let that
1315
00:44:12,300 --> 00:44:15,420
happen yeah so he was trying to be
1316
00:44:14,099 --> 00:44:17,460
aggressive they know that they don't
1317
00:44:15,420 --> 00:44:19,440
want Jake to get out there and get in
1318
00:44:17,460 --> 00:44:20,760
his rhythm and try to get in front of
1319
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,680
him that first lap but he gets a great
1320
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:25,619
start every time he gets really good
1321
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:27,660
starts and you know that's so big in in
1322
00:44:25,619 --> 00:44:29,280
racing and starts huge you can make or
1323
00:44:27,660 --> 00:44:31,020
break your race and a lot of these guys
1324
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:32,760
you know if they don't get a good start
1325
00:44:31,020 --> 00:44:34,260
or a bad first lap they just put
1326
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:36,420
themselves on the back foot and this
1327
00:44:34,260 --> 00:44:38,280
class is so competitive it's too hard to
1328
00:44:36,420 --> 00:44:40,140
make that all up well I think Cameron
1329
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:42,000
actually got the of a better start but
1330
00:44:40,140 --> 00:44:43,859
it was minimally better and he tried
1331
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:45,599
didn't he and Jake just ramped me
1332
00:44:43,859 --> 00:44:47,400
outside and said no and Jake was in a
1333
00:44:45,599 --> 00:44:49,260
better position for turn one like you
1334
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:51,240
said being on the outside where he could
1335
00:44:49,260 --> 00:44:53,040
just release the break and you know and
1336
00:44:51,240 --> 00:44:54,839
also for for Jake he knows he wants to
1337
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:56,760
get a good start and you know do what he
1338
00:44:54,839 --> 00:44:59,520
does he's won a ton of races now doing
1339
00:44:56,760 --> 00:45:03,240
that and cam is in another tricky thing
1340
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:05,040
too is they're teammates right so how
1341
00:45:03,240 --> 00:45:06,119
aggressive can you be you'll need and
1342
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:08,040
turn one you know you knock your
1343
00:45:06,119 --> 00:45:10,140
teammate down it's not going to be a
1344
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:12,839
very uh very good time when you get back
1345
00:45:10,140 --> 00:45:14,819
to the truck yeah great uh picture here
1346
00:45:12,839 --> 00:45:16,619
obviously uh you got everybody wanting
1347
00:45:14,819 --> 00:45:18,839
to get out there and I mean this as I
1348
00:45:16,619 --> 00:45:22,260
said this is such an amazing place and
1349
00:45:18,839 --> 00:45:24,060
uh along with the the absolute beauty of
1350
00:45:22,260 --> 00:45:25,740
Barber Motorsports Park there's some
1351
00:45:24,060 --> 00:45:27,780
wonderful humor to be found at this
1352
00:45:25,740 --> 00:45:30,300
place uh like the monkey at the top of
1353
00:45:27,780 --> 00:45:31,500
the scoring Tower and the Bison roaming
1354
00:45:30,300 --> 00:45:33,540
out in the field and we saw a picture
1355
00:45:31,500 --> 00:45:35,460
earlier of Charlotte in the middle of
1356
00:45:33,540 --> 00:45:37,980
the web and the of the scale hanging
1357
00:45:35,460 --> 00:45:40,800
from the Raptors under the bridge uh it
1358
00:45:37,980 --> 00:45:44,220
really is uh just an incredibly cool
1359
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:45,660
place uh it's a sculpture garden uh as
1360
00:45:44,220 --> 00:45:47,460
well and you know take a look at that
1361
00:45:45,660 --> 00:45:49,140
the old telephone booth that looks like
1362
00:45:47,460 --> 00:45:52,079
the kind you walk into and you end up in
1363
00:45:49,140 --> 00:45:55,380
the uh in the 1950s British spy Service
1364
00:45:52,079 --> 00:45:57,540
uh thing but uh this is all wrapped
1365
00:45:55,380 --> 00:45:58,980
around that magnificent Museum and so
1366
00:45:57,540 --> 00:46:01,800
you've got a sculpture garden and an
1367
00:45:58,980 --> 00:46:04,020
incredible interior in that museum uh to
1368
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:05,579
be able to enjoy here and also I mean it
1369
00:46:04,020 --> 00:46:07,680
looks like this year round too it's not
1370
00:46:05,579 --> 00:46:09,660
like it just gets you know it's good for
1371
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:11,640

club there's not a blade of grass out of
1375
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:20,339
place in the museum man I can't I can't

many bikes and all the different stuff
1378
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:28,380
there was and for me the most impressive
1379
00:46:24,300 --> 00:46:30,119
thing was uh the basement is full of
1380
00:46:28,380 --> 00:46:31,980
bikes getting ready to get prepped to
1381
00:46:30,119 --> 00:46:34,319
move back into the museum so it's pretty
1382
00:46:31,980 --> 00:46:37,500
pretty incredible it's a very active

1399
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:18,000
Medallion Superbike race number one
1400
00:47:16,079 --> 00:47:19,740
finishing a fourth place today is none
1401
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:21,480
other than the newly returned Cameron
1402
00:47:19,740 --> 00:47:24,119
bobier for his second round in Moto
1403
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:25,920
America cam the most notable noticeable
1404
00:47:24,119 --> 00:47:27,480
difference between the first three guys
1405
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:29,400
on the podium and you as you chose to
1406
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:30,599
run the harder compound rear tell us
1407
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:32,160
about the decision and how that
1408
00:47:30,599 --> 00:47:34,380
motorcycle was feeling underneath you on
1409
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:37,319
those final laps yeah we were super up
1410
00:47:34,380 --> 00:47:39,480
in the air on the grid we uh we felt
1411
00:47:37,319 --> 00:47:41,579
pretty good on the hard yesterday and
1412
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:43,020
also even though this morning I did a
1413
00:47:41,579 --> 00:47:45,720
did a couple Laps on it before we threw
1414
00:47:43,020 --> 00:47:47,099
the softs in and uh the track temp was a
1415
00:47:45,720 --> 00:47:48,780
little low but then it spiked pretty
1416
00:47:47,099 --> 00:47:52,560
good for the race and we were still 50
1417
00:47:48,780 --> 00:47:54,420
50. decided to go with the hard and uh
1418
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:56,400
you know it didn't shred it held in the
1419
00:47:54,420 --> 00:47:57,720
whole way which that's what we were
1420
00:47:56,400 --> 00:48:00,000
worried about but I was just struggling
1421
00:47:57,720 --> 00:48:01,680
with grit from the start so uh go back
1422
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:03,119
and work hard with the titles guys
1423
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:05,280
tonight and see what we come up with
1424
00:48:03,119 --> 00:48:07,200
tomorrow tomorrow but uh congrats to to
1425
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:09,480
the to the top three the Omaha boys are
1426
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:10,619
riding really good and uh see if we have
1427
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:12,000
something for tomorrow
1428
00:48:10,619 --> 00:48:13,560
speaking of tomorrow what was the
1429
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,760
biggest takeaway from this race that you
1430
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:16,859
can either take back to your team
1431
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:18,839
tonight or personally as a rider
1432
00:48:16,859 --> 00:48:20,280
tomorrow on the track I definitely think
1433
00:48:18,839 --> 00:48:23,700
we'll have to look at the soft tire
1434
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:25,260
option it seemed like
1435
00:48:23,700 --> 00:48:28,020
it seemed like when the track got a
1436
00:48:25,260 --> 00:48:30,720
little hotter the harder Tire got a
1437
00:48:28,020 --> 00:48:32,099
little greasier and it was pretty good
1438
00:48:30,720 --> 00:48:35,220
when the temps were a little lower so
1439
00:48:32,099 --> 00:48:36,660
but I mean anyways uh I think even on
1440
00:48:35,220 --> 00:48:38,700
the soft today we it would have been
1441
00:48:36,660 --> 00:48:40,920
tough to go go with the front three so
1442
00:48:38,700 --> 00:48:42,839
uh hats off to those guys and uh yeah
1443
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:44,579
we'll see what we can what we can do for
1444
00:48:42,839 --> 00:48:46,319
tomorrow this track is quite a different
1445
00:48:44,579 --> 00:48:48,420
layout than we've seen at Road Atlanta
1446
00:48:46,319 --> 00:48:50,160
which really seemed to suit the BMW how
1447
00:48:48,420 --> 00:48:52,040
would you say that this track lends
1448
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:54,900
itself to your motorcycle specifically
1449
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:56,700
uh I would say I definitely wish we had
1450
00:48:54,900 --> 00:48:58,500
a couple more straights to use that BMW
1451
00:48:56,700 --> 00:49:00,300
power but uh
1452
00:48:58,500 --> 00:49:02,040
honestly it's a really good test for us
1453
00:49:00,300 --> 00:49:04,560
you know it's our second round uh the
1454
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:06,720
team's been working so hard we uh we've
1455
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:09,240
had some parts to some parts to try and
1456
00:49:06,720 --> 00:49:10,859
and we are improving so
1457
00:49:09,240 --> 00:49:12,960
um yeah like I said it's a good good
1458
00:49:10,859 --> 00:49:15,599
tight twisty track I really like this
1459
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:17,520
place it's a really really fun track to
1460
00:49:15,599 --> 00:49:19,859
ride so
1461
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:21,900
um yeah hopefully improve a little bit
1462
00:49:19,859 --> 00:49:24,359
and uh and keep fighting with these boys
1463
00:49:21,900 --> 00:49:25,859
uh season long Cameron brobia Gathering
1464
00:49:24,359 --> 00:49:27,960
some valuable points and some valuable
1465
00:49:25,859 --> 00:49:29,579
data to bring back to the team guys yeah
1466
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:31,140
and I think that's really the point that
1467
00:49:29,579 --> 00:49:33,660
road Atlanta is a completely different
1468
00:49:31,140 --> 00:49:35,160
race track and here it's also really
1469
00:49:33,660 --> 00:49:36,960
smooth and so it's a good opportunity
1470
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:38,160
for them to collect so much data and cam
1471
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:39,660
brought it up it's only their second
1472
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:40,859
race together I couldn't say it any
1473
00:49:39,660 --> 00:49:41,940
better and that's exactly right and when
1474
00:49:40,859 --> 00:49:43,260
you look at it it was only nine seconds
1475
00:49:41,940 --> 00:49:45,540
back he was only two and a half seconds
1476
00:49:43,260 --> 00:49:47,460
behind Matthew at the end once he got
1477
00:49:45,540 --> 00:49:48,720
that clear track so nine seconds back
1478
00:49:47,460 --> 00:49:50,640
they're gonna try to trim that down
1479
00:49:48,720 --> 00:49:52,200
tomorrow maybe that soft retire option
1480
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:53,700
will help them like you said when the
1481
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:55,500
track started today it looked like it
1482
00:49:53,700 --> 00:49:56,640
was going to be cooler the heat came up
1483
00:49:55,500 --> 00:49:58,140
before the start of that and the hard
1484
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:59,579
compound got a little greasier so he
1485
00:49:58,140 --> 00:50:01,140
wasn't able able to lay the laps down
1486
00:49:59,579 --> 00:50:02,640
early had he been able to do that with
1487
00:50:01,140 --> 00:50:04,200
the software Tire earlier and then it
1488
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:05,880
went greasy later he might have been
1489
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:07,560
closer to them so they're going to mix
1490
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:09,480
all match all that stuff tonight and try
1491
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:10,800
to do better tomorrow and that's a lot
1492
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:12,180
for a lot of people out there it's kind
1493
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:14,040
of counterintuitive you say harder
1494
00:50:12,180 --> 00:50:15,660
compound softer compound but that heat
1495
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:18,000
really makes a difference on that softer
1496
00:50:15,660 --> 00:50:20,099
compound it penetrates the tire and it
1497
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:21,359
creates more grip and that's definitely
1498
00:50:20,099 --> 00:50:23,520
something that they're going to be
1499
00:50:21,359 --> 00:50:25,440
talking about as well as Dunlop right
1500
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:27,420
now is going to go to all the teams
1501
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:28,800
especially the Riders up top and they're
1502
00:50:27,420 --> 00:50:29,880
going to have conversations with how
1503
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:31,200
things go they're going to take the
1504
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:32,640
tires off they're going to analyze them
1505
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:34,260
and then we'll get a good idea what
1506
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:35,760
happens tomorrow Jay I think the biggest
1507
00:50:34,260 --> 00:50:36,780
thing of course is what's the
1508
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:38,160
temperature going to do tomorrow what's
1509
00:50:36,780 --> 00:50:39,180
the cloud cover going to do tomorrow how
1510
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:40,980
much Heat's going to stay in the track
1511
00:50:39,180 --> 00:50:42,540
overnight even the fact that we have
1512
00:50:40,980 --> 00:50:44,819
rubber in the track are we going to get
1513
00:50:42,540 --> 00:50:46,260
thunderstorms here in Alabama overnight
1514
00:50:44,819 --> 00:50:48,300
is it going to wash some of the rubber
1515
00:50:46,260 --> 00:50:51,300
off the racetrack there's so much to be
1516
00:50:48,300 --> 00:50:53,040
decided but Jay looking at this is this
1517
00:50:51,300 --> 00:50:54,900
the way it's going to be is Jake gagne
1518
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:56,220
so far ahead of everyone right now and
1519
00:50:54,900 --> 00:50:57,960
people are still playing catch-up as
1520
00:50:56,220 --> 00:51:00,119
we've seen the last couple of years or
1521
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:02,040
was it just a really good start and a
1522
00:51:00,119 --> 00:51:03,059
really good five or six laps up front it
1523
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:04,619
was a little bit of a different type of
1524
00:51:03,059 --> 00:51:05,940
race today especially shortening the
1525
00:51:04,619 --> 00:51:07,140
race down I didn't hear any of the
1526
00:51:05,940 --> 00:51:08,460
writers come out and really say that
1527
00:51:07,140 --> 00:51:09,660
they felt like anything was dangerous so
1528
00:51:08,460 --> 00:51:11,280
I wouldn't be surprised to see us be
1529
00:51:09,660 --> 00:51:12,780
able to run that full length distance
1530
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:14,280
tomorrow I think this was done under
1531
00:51:12,780 --> 00:51:16,260
precaution today or just a little bit of
1532
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:17,579
caution for from from Dunlop and I think
1533
00:51:16,260 --> 00:51:19,140
that they'll go back and and look at
1534
00:51:17,579 --> 00:51:20,640
that data I think we'll see a full race
1535
00:51:19,140 --> 00:51:22,020
tomorrow and we'll see a little bit of
1536
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:24,240
Things Different I'm not ready to just
1537
00:51:22,020 --> 00:51:26,160
give it to Jake just yet one of the most
1538
00:51:24,240 --> 00:51:28,440
spectacular places on Earth a museum
1539
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:32,420
we're looking at it right now we'll have
1540
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:32,420
more coverage coming at you in a moment
1541
00:51:37,859 --> 00:51:41,400
the Dynamics that you have to think of
1542
00:51:39,780 --> 00:51:44,160
when you're talking about motorcycles
1543
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:45,000
tires Heat track abrasiveness and the
1544
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:46,800
like
1545
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:48,420
um and you know all those machinations
1546
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:50,099
you have to work through and it's just
1547
00:51:48,420 --> 00:51:51,599
Amplified with the power of the
1548
00:51:50,099 --> 00:51:52,980
Superbikes isn't it and you know like
1549
00:51:51,599 --> 00:51:54,960
they said it it doesn't really make
1550
00:51:52,980 --> 00:51:56,460
sense when you think you think you know
1551
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:58,619
the hotter that it is you're gonna need
1552
00:51:56,460 --> 00:52:00,480
a harder tire and it's really opposite
1553
00:51:58,619 --> 00:52:03,240
you know the hotter it is you want the
1554
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:05,400
softer option tire and you know with Cam
1555
00:52:03,240 --> 00:52:07,200
I think yesterday's track conditions
1556
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:08,640
might have kind of caught him off guard
1557
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:11,040
they didn't have that track temperature
1558
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:12,420
today that they today and they didn't
1559
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:13,800
have it yesterday and you don't really
1560
00:52:12,420 --> 00:52:15,839
know unless you're out there putting the
1561
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:17,700
laps in they don't they haven't been out
1562
00:52:15,839 --> 00:52:19,680
there you know like they said it's a
1563
00:52:17,700 --> 00:52:21,119
only the second race on the bike and I'm
1564
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:23,300
sure if this happens let's say when we
1565
00:52:21,119 --> 00:52:25,859
moved to Road America where we go to
1566
00:52:23,300 --> 00:52:27,780
another track and we have this same
1567
00:52:25,859 --> 00:52:29,700
thing that happens like today with the
1568
00:52:27,780 --> 00:52:31,319
track temperatures get really hot
1569
00:52:29,700 --> 00:52:33,300
compared to Friday they'll probably go
1570
00:52:31,319 --> 00:52:35,640
with the soft option but it's a it's a
1571
00:52:33,300 --> 00:52:38,160
learning thing and for them it's you go
1572
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:40,920
with a soft option possibly you have a
1573
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:42,780
big problem yes you ended up eighth
1574
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:44,339
ninth you know toward in the race are
1575
00:52:42,780 --> 00:52:46,319
actually having to pull in so for him
1576
00:52:44,339 --> 00:52:47,940
you know collect a lot of good data end
1577
00:52:46,319 --> 00:52:49,680
up ninth and now they probably tomorrow
1578
00:52:47,940 --> 00:52:52,319
same thing probably go with that soft
1579
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:53,640
option and collect the data on that it
1580
00:52:52,319 --> 00:52:55,800
does sound a little counter-intuitive
1581
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:58,500
but when it's explained it it does make
1582
00:52:55,800 --> 00:53:01,500
sense uh and you heard uh Greg White
1583
00:52:58,500 --> 00:53:04,319
other talking about the museum here and
1584
00:53:01,500 --> 00:53:06,900
uh it's a pretty remarkable place I went
1585
00:53:04,319 --> 00:53:09,720
back for a visit when I I got here for
1586
00:53:06,900 --> 00:53:11,760
the weekend and it's remarkable and I
1587
00:53:09,720 --> 00:53:14,700
mean look at this display that's just
1588
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:17,160
the center Atrium and uh off to the left
1589
00:53:14,700 --> 00:53:19,680
there left center that is a display
1590
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:22,859
about John certes one of the legendary
1591
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:25,200
motorcycle races that converted into car
1592
00:53:22,859 --> 00:53:27,180
racing and won a World Championship in
1593
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:29,640
Formula One and then became a
1594
00:53:27,180 --> 00:53:31,740
manufacturer of race cars as well
1595
00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:34,440
they've got all of that in here along
1596
00:53:31,740 --> 00:53:36,720
with bikes from every conceivable era
1597
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:38,280
and the other part of it is they also
1598
00:53:36,720 --> 00:53:41,099
have one of the largest selections of
1599
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:44,160
Lotus cars from race cars uh and uh just
1600
00:53:41,099 --> 00:53:45,660
the sports cars but but this is this
1601
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:47,520
section is the one that's sort of
1602
00:53:45,660 --> 00:53:50,099
dedicated to Daytona and here you see
1603
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:52,500
some of the old historic bikes uh and
1604
00:53:50,099 --> 00:53:56,099
the amazing thing to me is that George
1605
00:53:52,500 --> 00:53:58,260
Barber uh you know his dictate was to be
1606
00:53:56,099 --> 00:54:01,020
able to walk through that at any time
1607
00:53:58,260 --> 00:54:02,220
point at four five six bikes and they'd
1608
00:54:01,020 --> 00:54:03,780
have to pull them off the floor take
1609
00:54:02,220 --> 00:54:05,460
them down to that lower floor you were
1610
00:54:03,780 --> 00:54:07,079
talking about and start them up because
1611
00:54:05,460 --> 00:54:09,000
every one of those bikes in theory
1612
00:54:07,079 --> 00:54:11,040
should be able to be driven up to this
1613
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:12,960
was one of my favorite bikes uh that
1614
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:15,180
Britain uh just some of the technology
1615
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:18,059
in the front end of that one uh was
1616
00:54:15,180 --> 00:54:20,040
amazing uh it's such a cool place I mean
1617
00:54:18,059 --> 00:54:22,619
every one of those bikes look brand new
1618
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:25,800
yeah oh it's amazing
1619
00:54:22,619 --> 00:54:28,380
it really is beautiful and along with
1620
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:32,160
the uh the certise tribute there's a a
1621
00:54:28,380 --> 00:54:34,980
section that's all MV agustas uh which
1622
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:37,800
uh I mean back in the day were
1623
00:54:34,980 --> 00:54:41,099
absolutely it just incredible machines
1624
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:44,099
and everywhere you turn Mike inside that
1625
00:54:41,099 --> 00:54:46,859
museum it just takes your breath away
1626
00:54:44,099 --> 00:54:48,480
yeah it absolutely does as I said Barber
1627
00:54:46,859 --> 00:54:51,240
Motorsports Museum really is something
1628
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:53,160
else five stories of motorcycles and
1629
00:54:51,240 --> 00:54:54,960
cars and uh I spent several hours in
1630
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:56,700
there it was absolutely brilliant I've
1631
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:57,780
made my way down into the pit Lane down
1632
00:54:56,700 --> 00:54:59,280
here and you can probably hear
1633
00:54:57,780 --> 00:55:02,160
motorcycles going past the bike that
1634
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:03,960
just went by me uh was uh Chavi Flores
1635
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:06,720
and the team down here just putting some
1636
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:08,460
markers on the floor obviously everybody
1637
00:55:06,720 --> 00:55:09,839
going to be really looking at the pit
1638
00:55:08,460 --> 00:55:12,119
stops when is the pit stop gonna happen
1639
00:55:09,839 --> 00:55:13,380
Stefano Mesa now coming out as well this
1640
00:55:12,119 --> 00:55:15,359
has never happened before this is a
1641
00:55:13,380 --> 00:55:18,000
first four Moto America and a first four
1642
00:55:15,359 --> 00:55:19,500
Super Sport racing anywhere in the world
1643
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:21,960
uh we're used to seeing Super Sport
1644
00:55:19,500 --> 00:55:24,660
races uh sprint races this is not a
1645
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:26,579
Sprint Race this is a 37 lap endurance
1646
00:55:24,660 --> 00:55:28,619
style race it's going to be uh pretty
1647
00:55:26,579 --> 00:55:29,819
pretty exciting so uh I'm gonna head on
1648
00:55:28,619 --> 00:55:31,680
to the grid and see if I can find
1649
00:55:29,819 --> 00:55:35,420
anything else down here uh we're gonna
1650
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:35,420
step away we'll be back after this
1651
00:55:36,410 --> 00:55:39,960
[Music]
1652
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:42,480
Medallion Superbike race number one
1653
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:44,220
Jason Pridmore gagne got away early he
1654
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:45,720
did Cam Peterson got a good start but it
1655
00:55:44,220 --> 00:55:47,460
was Heron that made the big jump from
1656
00:55:45,720 --> 00:55:50,220
third all the way through and this here
1657
00:55:47,460 --> 00:55:51,839
is why Cambodia maybe he finished as
1658
00:55:50,220 --> 00:55:53,640
many as nine seconds back he had to come
1659
00:55:51,839 --> 00:55:54,839
from about sixth place Greg and when
1660
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:56,579
you're coming from that far back you're
1661
00:55:54,839 --> 00:55:58,079
gonna lose probably a good two and a
1662
00:55:56,579 --> 00:56:00,000
half three seconds on the opening lap
1663
00:55:58,079 --> 00:56:01,380
Matthew Schultz was next to try to take
1664
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:02,819
a shot at Herron as you can see they
1665
00:56:01,380 --> 00:56:04,920
were lining up behind the number two
1666
00:56:02,819 --> 00:56:06,960
Ducati is he was struggling a little bit
1667
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:09,720
with grip Bobby was able to make the
1668
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:11,520
pass next Escalante and Heron would take
1669
00:56:09,720 --> 00:56:13,740
this battle all the way down to the wire
1670
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:15,420
as you can see Escalante slides up
1671
00:56:13,740 --> 00:56:17,700
underneath Heron as they started down
1672
00:56:15,420 --> 00:56:19,079
that back straightaway but Heron had the
1673
00:56:17,700 --> 00:56:21,420
preferred line as they went into this
1674
00:56:19,079 --> 00:56:23,099
Museum Corner the number two is able to
1675
00:56:21,420 --> 00:56:25,740
hold off Escalante into the line but
1676
00:56:23,099 --> 00:56:27,540
number one Jay gagne race two uh race
1677
00:56:25,740 --> 00:56:29,880
two winner from Atlanta gets his second
1678
00:56:27,540 --> 00:56:32,520
race of win of the season
1679
00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:35,400
and for gagne in his really short
1680
00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:38,760
Medallion Superbike career well that's
1681
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:40,380
win number 31 already here's a look at
1682
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:43,920
those Championship points standing so
1683
00:56:40,380 --> 00:56:47,400
gagne now has a lead over Cameron Boby a
1684
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:49,619
70 to 12. it's early days but Jason the
1685
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:51,359
field does not want to let Jake gagne
1686
00:56:49,619 --> 00:56:52,859
start peeking away yeah because we've
1687
00:56:51,359 --> 00:56:54,059
seen him in the past kind of give points
1688
00:56:52,859 --> 00:56:55,619
away at the beginning of the Season he
1689
00:56:54,059 --> 00:56:57,660
hasn't done that this year with two wins
1690
00:56:55,619 --> 00:56:59,400
in his first three starts I think that
1691
00:56:57,660 --> 00:57:00,960
even when he was in Atlanta he was in
1692
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:02,579
the Battle for that race one win in
1693
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:04,140
Atlanta but he had that arm pump he's
1694
00:57:02,579 --> 00:57:05,640
since had surgery as you heard him say
1695
00:57:04,140 --> 00:57:08,160
and he's going to be tough and strong as
1696
00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:09,540
the year continues to go on As We Know I
1697
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:11,160
think the thing that I take most away
1698
00:57:09,540 --> 00:57:12,900
from this race is going to be the
1699
00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:15,000
advancement of Richie Escalante although
1700
00:57:12,900 --> 00:57:16,920
he was battling for sixth spot he looked
1701
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:18,960
as comfortable as I've seen him so far
1702
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:20,579
on a super bike yeah no question I think
1703
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:21,900
that with Richie how do you maybe be
1704
00:57:20,579 --> 00:57:23,760
able to get by here and he could have
1705
00:57:21,900 --> 00:57:25,619
had a little bit more Pace as well as PJ
1706
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:27,300
Jacobson I think PJ Jacobson did a nice
1707
00:57:25,619 --> 00:57:28,859
job today as well finishing fifth very
1708
00:57:27,300 --> 00:57:30,420
