[Music] all right well he got to do the extra long wait in the start gate waiting for this one but man speaking of what could have been the Run he was on in Poland a couple weeks ago that could have been a winning run wow had a little bit of a weird crash towards the bottom of the track but this kid what a story on that team now look at this catch burm oh see how he hooks out of it and gets extra high that’s what you got to do but man the commitment there was by to get that done it was committed it was fast we love to see it I mean that run out of Poland that’ll feeling full of confidence coming into here 100% when you know the splits are there it wasn’t just one split either I mean he was consistent all weekened all the way down so right now lucky Stevens McNab is 1.6 seconds up into the motorway section so he is building on that run from bco baa yeah BMX many onto these jumps here yeah that L really good will we see him put it together and climb the run that he was Robb Ina bit there on that yeah you can tell I mean that’s a good sign though it shows that carrying speed even when he’s soaking the jumps up he’s going long that means he’s he’s really carrying that momentum oh doubles all the way into the burn that was nice first R to double onto that war ride 57.3 km hour for Loy all right this is kind of his race to win or lose now he’s got a gap here if he can put this together he can extend this got to be careful yes diving into that front end to change direction here that is a sign of confidence and AGG firm here nice rides the front end into the lower section oh hold on to it what a save the balance on that to do that is crazy outside gets into the catch right here he’s flirting with the limit and we love to see it can he maintain composure and hold to the Daniels an inside that was that was wild from tip to tip and full gas here has got the throttle stuck wide open into the bottom lucky Stevens McNab the Kiwi 2.9 seconds up into second sector four he comes into the Shimano Rock Garden to finish he needs to maintain composure here and claim his rightful spot on top of the hot seat what can he do he navigates the ruts with these he’s back on the pedals he’ll be happy with this he’s finally got Redemption from a couple of weeks ago Lan Stevens McNab across the line with a three minute 8.6 4.4 seconds faster what a ride [Music] wow he’s had a turbulent start he did not put down a qualifying run yesterday he had a huge crash but he was protected so we don’t know what is in store for fin is here today he has almost won before he almost won last year but crashed in one of the last corners of track I love this strong low style of fines you see him taking that little pedal right there what he was doing is he was shifting taking a crank so he could get the bike to drop into a lower gear so when you get down to these slow sections in here if you need to take a pedal you’re in a small gear and you can actually put the power down so he lost a little bit of time between two and three but that strong Styler his he’ be able to muscle his way down through the Steep sections this is where it’ll be interesting cuz if that thumb is hurting him this is where it’s going to he’s going to start to feel it down here when it gets line again oh he’s holding on to it Finn is charging he’s flirting with the line he’s got two hands hold of it but he cannot go over it fines is on one here today we haven’t seen this from the man all weekend and right now he’s holding on to it still at about a second here got to get through these last few clean he’ll be aware of this knowing last year too I would imagine he’s going to be pretty dial through these last couple of corners HS it in Waits the outside foot Peg he’s 1 second up for sector 4 he slaps the base out of the final Corner he’s pedaling to the Finish Arena Finn 154 I highly doubt that but across the line finnes will claim the hot seat wow what a run wow Finn Isles with a 3 minutes and 7 second time yeah you see experience coming out there benoir kange Le a World Cup winner from 2023 here we go beno’s into the woods and he’s point for he’s in touch so he’s our second fastest on track right now he navigates those routes with ease he’s been training in morine he loves the Steep he’ll ride this thing like it’s flat yeah good speed over the top of that drop there got to be careful in this corner it into the pocket exit with great speed gets The High Line once again goes for that inside line that inside line is showcasing to be a bit of AEP say he made that look easy he made that look easy that would fold anyone else in half come on Ben he navigates his way around that tree s he’s into sector four what do we got he’s three he is charging home here benoir kalange is in touch giv up maybe a little time there chose to go outside before the drop and came unclipped had to get back in before that looks like he’s back in the pedal now he’s back in the pedal he’s charging hard he dipped into that rut that’s getting deeper and deeper by the run3 of a second it’s all to play for in this final section charging to the line our 2023 L World Cup winner benoir kalange over the final jump and across the line8 of a second back wow benoir kalange dips into third place with a solid run here in Leo gang Austria 4 mer ocean has a a habit of going really fast at the top of the track and really setting the tone kind of early if he can go green in this first split he’s holding it together we know that he’s going to be fast down bottom he’s 1.6 back from Finn now he’s on the motorway slide case it’s going to cost him a little bit of speed yeah kind of looks like he’s fighting it just a little a little tight here yeah he needs to relax a bit doesn’t he way easier said than done how do you relax in the middle of a World Cup race run and look but in front of him there we’ve got a bit of ring around don’t say it I said it just stop I said it it’s lurking yeah I mean it’s crazy we’re talking about a second and a half here basically but yeah just a little off to the right and the left couple little spots so hard to know I mean could be nothing there’s also practice happened this morning there’s so many things that kind of happen to these Riders through the weekend and you very rarely actually know what’s actually going on before they drop into a run oh yeah he’s just there a bit of over oh under steer going on there it’s another corner where he looks a bit looks a bit skiddish on those high speed that front tire looks slightly soft to me he’s not scared of it but that’s what I was wondering if he maybe burped a little air in one of the tires he’s looking pretty good down here though seems like the intensity and the aggression start to ramp up a little bit he’ll have an exceptional amount of grip until he doesn’t he’s not scared coming into the Low Wood still maintaining good speed from Young ocean he’s only 2.2 back so it’s nothing to sneeze at he’s still charging hard this is still a good run oh yeah he’s bringing some back yeah I was going to say it looks like it’s starting to flow for him a little bit I wonder if he was just maybe trying to save a bit for this bottom section they did do two full runs yesterday so true we are cracking jokes it seems like maybe there’s nothing wrong at all he’s this is what he needs to do I mean there’s a Podium on the line maybe even a win here if he can be clean out of these last couple of turns he’s 1 second off the pace as he comes into the Finish Line ocean o Calahan there is nothing wrong with the young man he’s charging to the line what has he got inall for massive over jump ocean o Calahan goes third point8 of a second there nothing wrong with that young fell that was a really good [Applause] [Music] recovery and he’s up at the first split so this is going here we go he’s 01 of a second up lock bruny is on one here he put in a heer yesterday come the semi-finals what can he have in store today he wasn’t happy with his semi-final run yesterday but today is where it counts and this is the final he goes the inside line yeah we haven’t seen anybody do that yet the first Rider we’ve seen to take that line now pay attention cuz this is what L lock succeeded at yesterday he was off the main line he missed the bumps he missed the roots and he was accelerating where other Riders were getting caught that line at the top is a prime example of loow high in the grass there too on the P he’s lost a little bit of time surprisingly everybody’s losing time defending that second split somehow he laid down something incredible but he is right there and I would guess he is not going to give any more time away on this Motorway see him manualing onto the deck there staying nice and low super low taking advantage of that electronic suspension that locking it out making it stiffer means the bike accelerates forward a little bit easier it doesn’t absorb all the bumps quite so much and it does it electronically so we doesn’t have to think about it one button on button off away we go yeah real light on the bike here here we go here we go going to be tight man all right we’re up six up into the woods he’s 6 up off the motorway coming into the steeper section of track oh man absolutely greas that greases the one of the most technical corners on the track he’s just got a bit unsettled here he needs to relax yeah little I believe it little Huck gapping into that he’s going for I haven’t seen L be this aggressive in the M for a while he’s always so composed he’s charging here and he needs to charge he knows he needs to push yeah smart there just kind of regathering himself he’s smart though he’ll know where he can push and where he needs to kind of be patient now he’s got that anticipation going on watch as he anticipates the next standing too clean around that corner Lo bruny is 1.8 seconds up in the steepest part of the track he’s charging to that massive Gap what then he just hit his electronics suspension again he is paying attention here this was one of the key Parts yesterday got to be careful down here we’ve seen races thrown away in these last two turns but I don’t think Lo’s going to do that today he’s not going to do it today he hops over the RS he accelerates even faster the first Rider to be up on the grass Lo buy to the line an absolute display what does he have lock bruny with a 305.5 what an exceptional run from the man himself out overall World Cup Series leader loic bruny claims the win here in Leo Gango derella comes home in 10th TR BR in ninth Bernard Kerr in eighth ocean o cahin claims four third for Loy Stevens mcav on the podium fin Isles in second and lock bruny dominates with a 305
