I watched Lex's arm action- he was working too hard. Both Youngs were impatient. They knew the field was tough and thought they had to gap everyone, esp. Gorze, right away. They really miscalculated.
Youngs put in a strong surge to drop Gorze but ultimately that lead to both brothers blowing up big time. Sahlman hung back a bit during that huge surge and came back to win.
Oddly enough, considering the last half mile for the Young brothers, NP lost no points over the final 1.1 mile - they had an 86 point lead. Great race to watch!
chill out with leo's performance, lex was questionable, but had leo been racing for second he would have easily secured that with how much he was able to gap the field in the last mile
Wow embarrassing mistake from the announcer. He said Colin salhman won in 2019. Fire this guy.
I was wondering if anyone else noticed that too. He got Nico and Colin mixed up apparently. Colin won in 2021, but that was at RunningLane not NXN. Embarassing mistake indeed.
