Video Transcript
We are just about ready to kick off the final day of racing here at the Ranch College.
Off and rolling.
Oh, boy, look at that.
Here they come, the land rush and ooh, Yamaha's got a good jump out of the gate.
Tough break for a couple of riders going down in those brownies.
How about it?
Benjamin Moya gonna grab that early race lead.
Thomas on the Honda.
Meanwhile, Busse, he's got almost 11 seconds that he needs to make up, and this is the battle.
Look at this, Zach.
Oh!
This could be the pass for the title- Oh, man if he's able to get around Australia in any time.
Oh my goodness.
Wow, what a great move, Zach.
Oh.
That was literally grip to grip lever to lever.
That wasn't bar to bar.
Those guys were grip to grip.
Wow.
How about it?
Moya fired up as he should be with that performance.
Grabs the third moto win.
Got to wonder what could've been for Moya as far as the big title picture goes, but look at this, the battle down to the line.
I think we just saw a pass from Nettleton further cementing his championship as there it is.
It's Moya, Sallow, and Busse your top three in the moto, but it will be Nettleton taking the title with a fourth-place finish in this final moto.
Nettleton- Oh, look out!
Little knack-knack action.
A bobble there.
I'll tell you what- They come ripped off it Ezra Lusk has changed the game.
That's the fourth on-ground knack-knack I've seen since he did it.
Oh.
And problems.
This is the champion potential.
Witham.
Witham lays it down on the inside.
Got hung up in the ruts.
Kato's got his hands up.
He is frozen- He's like, "What in the world is happening?"
in excitement.
Deer in the headlights from the action.
We're watching your potential champion, Evan Witham, as he's making his way towards the checkered flag.
Into the Bermuda Triangle goes your leader.
Lincoln Green trying to bring it home.
If the pit board said calm, Wes, he's not listening, 'cause he's still trying to make a pass happen even in the final corner.
Green- Checkered flag gonna grab the win.
That's a, a little finger gun there back there.
All right.
Yeah.
Witham's got the Canon, and he's got the title.
There you see the number 11.
Oh, here we go, down 20 miles of bad road.
Let's see what Buckman does.
I don't know about you, I couldn't help these kids.
They are way faster than I am- Oh and look at this.
This is We've got four and a half minutes left, and they are still going bar to bar, wheel to wheel.
That's the second time.
Around the outside.
Around the outside, making it stick.
Man.
Edwin Meier now tries to respond.
Here it is, Cameron Buckman, one, one, one equals one here at the ranch.
Cameron Buckman would not be denied.
Up in that number four spot trying to hold off Beckham Smith as now into the Ten Commandments they go.
Ah, he's got a tough row to hoe there with Kyler, but here we go.
It is- Around the outside for Smith.
He's gonna get the pass, so one more point added to the cushion.
Taking him all the way around.
He's probably sitting on the edge of his seat right now.
Yeah, right now he's- Like, "Come on, Nolan Cobb.
Win one.
Bring it home" Cobb sending it now into- Oh!
The 20 miles of bad road as- Oh, you got a couple of backmarkers there.
Whoa.
Do you see that rear ?
Whoo!
Look out.
Cobb doesn't check up for the backcup.
Nolan Cobb going for it.
Oh!
Mid-track, way outside here, gonna get around a lapped rider and get ready to buzz by us in the tower one more time.
I mean, the pass from Smart wouldn't, wouldn't move Cobb out of the second position, but Well, no, it would do that, but it would take that moto win away from him.
Here it is.
Nolan Cobb one more time into the Bermuda Triangle.
Oh, into the Bermuda Triangle.
Look out!
Oh.
Gets in, gets out clean.
Checkered flag in sight, and it will be Nolan Cobb almost getting taken out by a lapper there.
Fist in the air, a moto win, but here is Beckham Smith closing in on a potential title in 85-10-12 Limited on cruise control for the moment, comfortably in that number four spot, and he is going to be fired up, a four one four.
He knows it.
He knows it.
What a feeling.
The longest moto of his life, and he gets through it.
He's a champion here at the ranch.
Beckham Smith gets it done in 85-10-12 Limited.
We are watching Darin Pine trying to make a run for the championship.
We got Darin Pine involved in this one.
Kellogg on the podium right now- Oh!
As well as, the 36 of Siha as we watch things shake up as they work their way through the sandsweeper.
Man, I thought Pine was about to go down.
He shorted this big jump behind us, so luckily he was able to ride that out.
Going, going, gone here in this one, a 12.4-second lead as now he is gonna round the final corner here at Loretta Lynn's.
He's pulling the tear-off.
He, he just pulled his first tear-off probably- He did of the entire moto.
He did.
And here is the champion.
It's gonna be Darin Pine taking our 450B Limited championship.
That is absolutely blistering right here as we watch the 19.
He may not win the championship, but man, has that dude been a fighter.
Yeah, definitely gonna be out of the running for that with the, DNS, but he's gonna go to work right now, and look.
Oh, one big message with Bagel they have to deliver.
Exactly.
You never know what's gonna happen in a battle as well as the fact that he's gonna lose a point, and Boyhan's gonna try to make a point here soon, so- Yeah to the inside.
Oh, look at those ruts almost come together.
Ooh.
Bagel's gonna not fight too hard, and look, out of position.
When you're around to the outside and you got any bike much less Gage Brown coming up the inside, you kinda have to give way.
So Brown is able to make the pass stick, and he is gonna be our new leader here in the School Boy 1 division.
Still have 11 and a half minutes to go.
Downtown Gage Brown.
Gage Brown, one more corner to go for you, and you are on your way to a gold medal.
Look at that.
He's like, "Hey, man, you wanna do one more lap?"
Yeah.
"You wanna do one more lap around the ranch?"
What a gentleman.
But there's our champion, number 72, gonna rev that 125 up.
Slow the race down just a touch.
I don't know if that c- that's happening in this moment, but it's certainly possible as these riders- Look at this.
Oh, look at this!
On the inside.
Is the pass made for the moment, Zach?
It is.
Wow.
There it is.
We have a new leader, leader, leader.
Gibson's gonna take over the top spot.
Here we go.
But for how long?
16 rocketed out of the billboard turn, was not enough to make the pass, but it is not over, and he is feisty.
16 don't like eating roost, I can promise you that.
He said yesterday- Whoa, little mistake there by Zach Zaco said, if they're stu- Uh-oh he goes, "If I'm suffering, I know they're suffering" Uh-oh.
I think a lot of suffering Zaco just got passed again.
Small mistake going into the second corner down, there, down the long shur- long short chute, excuse me.
Gosh, that's a lot of words to say.
He has done what he had to do to take a moto win.
Take us home there, Jackie Legs.
Here we go with a number one in the air, the five machine, Landon Gibson, the Peachtree City, Georgia native.
Is he gonna be able to grab this third moto win?
There he is.
Zach Osborne makes his way through the checkered flag, and it is gonna be enough.
A 1-2-5 will make him your Open Pro Sport champion.
Uh-oh.
I hope he didn't crash here, 'cause this is a big jump.
Oh, no.
Sent it.
Looks like he got a little off-kilter.
Holy cow, he didn't look good there.
And he got cowabunga.
He's got him right there in front of him.
Look at this!
Boys, look at him hucking that big jump.
Look at this.
There it is.
Oh, there is blood in the water right now.
The hits keep coming.
Oh, look at, look at, look at him just power that bike.
Oh!
Oh, look out!
Oh, no, Kelleher!
Kelleher could do it right here, Garcia.
Kelleher left the Bermuda Triangle!
He knows he's got to go.
Garcia goes down.
Kelleher was a paid hitman.
What?
One last time through the Bermuda Triangle- There he is for the big man out of Rhode Island with the number one on his Honda.
But- Gives us a little look back right now, knows it.
That's it.
Puts the number one in.
There's Garcia coming in.
He's very happy right now.
He's got the championship.
Uh- Let's go racing with the 250C Limited.
Get 'em through the first turn.
Colby Tol- Crosby Tolen with that holeshot- Wow from Wheatland, California.
So Mimina is in there, too.
If he keeps moving forward, that could bump Carter Clay even with a- Look out moto win off the top of the points.
He's about to lose some points if he doesn't watch out, because Wilson has caught the toe of Carter Clay.
He's right here on the inside, Clay on a Kawie, and Wilson side by side.
West Kane throws a little sideways, little sauce on that one.
Oh.
They both go for the big double, and they almost can't make the turn, so now Clay slips back to second.
Number 72 bringing it home, Wilson gonna put the icing on the cake.
1-3-1, hats off to you, young man.
Yeah.
Congratulations.
Yes.
Good job.
It's in the air.
At the front of the field, actually already seeing some separation.
Monster live drone gonna pick your leader.
Oh, problems.
Wait a second, something happened to your leader, Hannah Jameson.
This is exactly what we talked about, Sophie, anything possible here at the end of the week.
Well, now at the moment with a 2-2-1, if she's able to hang on, McCoy takes over control of this championship.
But as you see, Jameson remounted.
Doesn't look like anything's bent up.
She looks, very, you know, okay from that wreck, and picking up not one but now two positions.
She's on the charge.
Charging a little bit harder, and I think that's gonna make a big difference around the whole course around the course for the entire track.
Yeah, just kind of looking at the riding style, just looking at the riding style of these young ladies, it seems like Jameson's got just a little bit more aggression as she takes the long way around.
I mean, just opening that machine up, almost sending it to flat.
And McCoy not giving up, though.
She has responded, but Jameson- Ooh slams the door.
Wow, what a statement.
And the number three, Zoe Moore, not done yet.
Oh, hang on to it, and Zoe Moore's down, just like that.
Was going for it through the 20 miles of bad road, and you could see it coming.
Could not stop, got just a little bit off-balance.
Gonna take the long way around the Bermuda Triangle.
Take us home, Zach.
Here it is.
Yet another 1-1-1, but this time it's Hannah Jameson getting the job done once again.
Wipes the hands off.
Trinity Batchelor tried to make a pass down the long short chute, but goes wide, and Pruett cuts right back underneath, snatches the lead right back.
They're still gonna be side by side as they- Ooh get through.
Wow, look at this.
Got a battle in the front.
Tristan Pruett still in control of it at the moment.
Batchelor back to the inside, now headed back to storyland.
Once again, almost side by side as they toss it back into storyland.
The Kawasaki tries to go the long way around.
To be looking at a checkered flag and a perfect week here in Schoolboy 2, make some noise for the 70 of Tristan Pruett.
Yeah, style check.
I love it.
He is fired up, and as he should be.
The action on track, what are you seeing, K-Dub?
Is that Yumena Berne making a move?
The 41 made a pass on Baker.
That's gonna be Berne taking the lead.
Yep.
Berne sitting with four points.
She's coming.
Anderson with five points.
Oh!
Oh!
Yumena Berne down just after the 20 miles of bad road.
She keeps the machine running, picks it back up, but now the work is cut out as Ryder Anderson was right behind.
This is- Yeah this is everything.
This is everything.
This is for the title.
Oh, no.
What happened?
Oh, no, something with the machine.
Oh, no.
Oh.
Oh, Yumena Berne, it, it's like it stalled coming out of the corner.
Oh, no.
She can't get it to refire.
This is heartbreaking as now she gets off the machine.
Oh, the chain's off.
The chain- Oh has come off of the machine.
But here we go, final trip through.
Take it away, Zach.
Here it is, the Bermuda Triangle, one last time in 2026.
A one, two, and a number one.
How about it?
The number 17 of Ryder Anderson gets the job done and is the champ in 65 10-to-11.
Final moto of the week, Super Mini 2 13 to 16 ready to bring us home.
This is it, Zach, the week-long motocross extravaganza about to come to a close, but first, one more moto, and this is gonna be a good one.
Super Mini 2, and it is gonna be Brayton Craiglow that is gonna grab the holeshot, the Panama City Beach, Florida native.
Looking out on the back wheel, and now in the front of the field, Easton Graves trying to take over, and look at a potential 1-1-1 make quick work of this thing.
Guys, as this weather starts to roll in here at the ranch and the sky darken just a bit, makes me realize no mud motos here this year at the ranch.
We always say that's one guarantee, and we have not saw it.
Whoa.
How about it?
Hang on to it, Jackson Vick.
And great point there, Jackson.
Burl is, yeah, absolutely been great weather here racing.
It's been hot, it's been gnarly, but Mother Nature has certainly played nice with us.
Well, we just hope right now that lap, the lap time of Mother Nature slows down and we don't have a- Just a bit, yep half mud moto.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Oh, wait a second, problems ahead.
Oh, man, who is that?
Is that Graves?
Is that Graves?
Yes.
Graves is down.
I saw it just out the window.
Good call there.
And he may be getting a pass.
Look at this, Craiglow's right there.
Craiglow, a triple through the Ten Commandments for Craiglow, and that might just be enough for the lead, and it is.
Wow, what a misstep for the 31.
And a tough lap for Boucher as he slides back to 11 points on the podium still.
Man, that was a tough lap.
How about it?
Graves retakes the number one spot, so he's looking back at a three-point sweep.
One more time through the Thor Sand Sweeper, one more time in 2026, the Bermuda Triangle.
Gotta get through it clean.
Swings out wide, no other riders in sight.
How about it?
The final champion of 2026, Easton Graves gets the job done and completes the sweep in Supermini 2 13 to 16.
