Cole DaviesGUEST
This is
Duncan HydeHOST
Ben Townley.
Duncan HydeHOST
Ben Townley.
Duncan HydeHOST
It's a nice segue.
Duncan HydeHOST
You knew we were going to get
7 MINS LATER
Jay ReeveHOST
That's quite cool words.
Jay ReeveHOST
Who were the idols that you had when you were growing up? People that you sort of wanted to model yourself off? I mean, I could lie
Cole DaviesGUEST
and say Ben Townley, but honestly, I was born in 2007 and he won his East Championship in 2007.
Steve MatthesHOST
Like, Star has.
Steve MatthesHOST
And I didn't even know about the Townley and this other fucking kid.
Steve MatthesHOST
I didn't even know about that.
Steve MatthesHOST
I said to Mitch, you're getting killed, man.
8 MINS LATER
Steve MatthesHOST
Star does the same thing.
Steve MatthesHOST
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Daniel BlairHOST
Well, at least the Townleys and Easton Graves were next to their bike.
Daniel BlairHOST
And I'm like, oh, that's that kid's number.
Alex GobertHOST
The yes, New Zealand's had a lot of legends, you know, over a long, long time.
Alex GobertHOST
And I don't want to obviously leave any out, but you think of the King brothers, you think of Josh Coppins, uh, Ben Townley, um, just that, There's almost been an endless supply in motocross.
Alex GobertHOST
And we saw BT and obviously what he was able to do in supercross in America.
Alex GobertHOST
But to now see it in this modern era, to see Cole come home and fly the flag, I'm really excited just to see what he's like at home.
Michael LindsayHOST
Today's news? I still, I don't know about you.
Michael LindsayHOST
I am still hung up on, I am in love with the idea that Townley's coming here.
Michael LindsayHOST
I can't wait to see Townley 2.0.
Lewis PhillipsHOST
Yeah.
Lewis PhillipsHOST
I mean, it's early.
Lewis PhillipsHOST
I don't think we're going to see Townley 2.0 until like 28, 29 in, you know, in its true form.
Lewis PhillipsHOST
But I'm a little bit surprised because they were always so, or I should say Ben, was always so adamant that europe had a better amateur system and moving up through that was imperative before the switch to america so in my mind this feels a year or two early with that knowledge
Michael LindsayHOST
early yes it feels a year earlier than i expected i thought we would see to him in 28 i thought yeah
Justin BraytonHOST
There was no escaping.
Justin BraytonHOST
And, and, What we had to do, so it was myself, Trey Kennard on the Hondas, and Ben Townley and another guy, I'm forgetting his name, French guy on the Yamahas.
Justin BraytonHOST
And we basically rode, we got to ride the track Friday morning, which is freezing cold, super muddy.
Justin BraytonHOST
The sun was barely coming up just to learn the track, to do the jumps.
Jason WeigandtHOST
Great day.
Jason WeigandtHOST
So the stage is set for racing, but with this grand stage, a lot of manufacturers want to take advantage of it, and Yamaha and Honda chose to have prototype electric bikes go out and ride in front of the fans at this track with a couple of celebrities, Ben Townley on the Yamaha, multi-time champion in his own right out of New Zealand, and Americans Trey Canard, and yes, Race Day Live host Justin Brayton on the Honda electric CR prototypes out on track.
Jason WeigandtHOST
That's my biggest regret of the weekend.
Jason WeigandtHOST
I love going to this event.
Erin SpeedyHOST
Skylar Heathcote, the event organiser for the Mini Motocross Nationals held over the weekend, which is essentially the nursery ground for the best dirt bike riders in the country.
Erin SpeedyHOST
I mean, we've seen Courtney Duncan, the King Brothers, Josh Coppins, Maximus Purvis, Cody Cooper, Cole Davies, even Ben Townley all started their careers at the Mini Motocross Nationals, so we catch up about that.
Erin SpeedyHOST
A bit of rural news.
Erin SpeedyHOST
Producer Craig has lost his voice, so I will be doing that for you today.
