Somehow, Beaumer ended up second in points, helped by Levi Kitchen<\/a> crashing out for the day and scoring zero points.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, Levi not lining up for the second moto sucked,\u201d he said. \u201cYou hate to see that. Obviously, you never want to see a guy not line up.\u00a0 Carlos [Rivera, of KTM] came to me right after the sight lap and said, ‘Hey, you have a chance to get second in the championship, but you have to win. There’s no other option.’ So, I said, ‘All right, I got to win.’ Obviously, I knew there was a chance, but I had to execute. And obviously coming into SMX, I feel good. I’ve been riding SMX for a little bit now, and I’m happy with where we’re at with the bikes. So, yeah, I’m ready to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hymas might have been the fastest rider at Ironman, but he tipped over a few times during the day, with two early second-moto crashes holding him back. He put together incredible lap times late in the race, though, to rally to second.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy riding didn’t live up to the result it should have been,\u201d he said. \u201cI had probably put together two best motos I have in my life and unfortunately just made some dumb mistakes the first and second lap and just buried myself. JuJu was the better guy today.\u00a0 He rode his butt off too. So, me and him were the two best guys today. Obviously, Cole [Davies] was just riding it in today.\u00a0 Things were clicking for me today. It felt good and just it’s been trending that direction the last handful last half of the season honestly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hymas ends the year with five-straight overall podiums, his longest streak yet, successfully completing a summer based on consistency instead of speed. Chance has gone fast before, but was never able to sustain it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe made a lot of progress these last handful of rounds,\u201d said Hymas, who said even after his breakthrough moto win at Millville that he would focus more on moto podiums than aiming for moto wins. He\u2019s trying to figure out the consistency part. He\u2019ll do the same in the playoffs.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy goal is just try to be on the podium every weekend,\u201d he says. \u201cI think if I execute two good starts and be up front and try to stay out a little bit of the chaos, it definitely would look good. Just try to take my same approach that I have been this last half of the outdoor season and try not to over complicate it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Somehow, Beaumer ended up second in points, helped by Levi Kitchen crashing out for the day and scoring…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":876985,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[383862,64,63,806,805,803,804,85],"class_list":["post-876984","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-motosport","tag-2026-pro-motocross2026-supermotocross-world-championship-racer-x-motocross-magazine-supercross-dirt-bike-mx-racerx-illustrated-dirtbike-motorcycle-racing-freestyle-video-news","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-motor","tag-motor-sports","tag-motosport","tag-motosports","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/876984","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=876984"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/876984\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/876985"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=876984"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=876984"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=876984"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
