Josh Hayes

It sure did.

And we're going to talk a little bit more about that in the super sport class with Josh Hayes.

But we've got to talk about PJ, man.

I mean, he looked like he was up for the fight.

You got to

try and roll with it because those are three talented riders right there.

TJ, you called it yesterday with Josh Hayes.

Let's talk about the super sport.

Problems.

And, and he, and he's still going against Josh Hayes.

Don't forget about that man.

Yeah, that was that.

But, you know, obviously there's two races left and you never know what's going to happen by the time 2027 rolls around.

So Josh Hayes, man, 90 wins.

I mean, you think this is the last year for him, or? No, it's not.

I don't think

Just super sport notes.

Bender extends his championship lead above Heron and Josh Hayes late season pace is improving.

It's getting stronger and stronger.

In this sort of latter half of the season, it's fun to watch.

And this tight group of four riders continued to battle for a few laps.

By lap 12, Heron and Bender are now on their own, battling back and forth.

And on the last lap, Kale was able to pass Josh Hayes for P3, and Bender was able to keep Heron behind him to win again.

Only, you know, again, similar margin, like four hundredths of a second gap this time.

So let's be honest.

You know, the only saving grace for the Yamahas has been Josh Hayes.

Over the last couple of rounds, they've been able to find something.

But they've also been at tracks that accentuate the strengths of the R9.

I mean, maybe the BPR team, they seem to have really strong Yamahas, whether it's in hooligans bikes or their super sport bikes.

Those guys, that team has been able to find something that the track team hasn't found.

And, you know, there's a very big possibility that this weekend, Josh Hayes jumps over Kayla Yakov in the overall point standing, which, you know, nobody would have thought that at the beginning of the year, seeing how the R9 was struggling.

And unfortunately, like for Josh, dude, you're 35 points behind.

Like it's one less thing to think about.

I mean, if you're Josh Hayes or some of these guys, women or guys that's been doing it for so long that their brain can process all that stuff.

It's like, yeah, just thinking about like, grabbing a clutch you already fight with your brain to tell you when to hit the brake much less to when to get in the gear

right yeah i mean back then like the like um uh red matching at the track was like oh when i was red matching at the street i was like yeah i could red match at the street and i could clutchless upshift um and on the track i was like yeah i could do this and i'm like red matching and i'm like i don't even know if red matching even matters anymore with with at the track because i i feel like when i see people like with the r6s they're just letting the clutch out slowly they're not red matching they're just kind
