A stall on the second-to-last lap? Man, my palms are sweating just picturing it. I can still feel the throttle in my fingertips from moments like that. Bump-starting it back to life with the crowd pushing — that's grit you don't see from ordinary riders, trust someone who's been trackside. The Brightmore brothers closing in made it nail-biting as hell.

Brightmore brothers took 2nd and 3rd, but GASGAS still couldn't close it out.

Getting bump-started by the crowd and still taking the win — Lettenbichler is unreal.

Wait, is a crowd bump-start actually allowed under the rules? Feels sketchy.
