We all know that RV was crushing it out there but there are some interesting things in this report...Like Trey Canard first Moto and James second- look at the average and best....not much difference I think it means Trey's fitness is good and he just needs to gain some speed (which we have seen in the past) For James it looks to me like he was riding at a comfortable pace one he could do all day...thought I'd share and get some insight-

RV was obviously dominant but man, Dungey was one second per lap off. Depending on who the track favors that day, one second is nowhere near a good indicator for how the season will turn out. RV could dominate the rest of the season but Dungey and Decoster inevitibly will make this season interesting. I'd be curious to see their slowest lap times and when they had their slowest lap times.

And seriously Trey Canard moto one wow- James said Trey kept me honest...he wasn't lying Trey's average was only 4 tehths slower than James's best lap time...Unless Trey pulls an uncharacteristic progression towards getting slowers (like sx this yr) from here out He could easily gain some speed being only what one or two big bike MX races to date.....If he gets rolling and jiving he could be in this thing at the half way like he did with Pourcel.

Here are Trey's first Moto lap times....pretty sure they have their numbers off...based on my accounting I am not sure you can avg a 2:02.69 with these lap times. I think the same is the case for Stewart in the second moto. Maybe someone needs to be doing some fact checking on the racer x site Smile .

Not that matters, but average times where about a second difference, with the best time being about 4 seconds... I think that is where the race gets won. It's sorta cruise control after that.

Looking at the individual lap chart Trey's first moto average was 2:04.874

Also while looking at the individual lap time charts for moto 2 as soon as RV and RD went by Stewart their lap times immediately dropped by about 3-4 seconds while Stewart was still turning 2:06's. RV got all the way down to 2:01.999 and RD to 2:02.665. During the first five laps they were all in the 2:04-2:06 range. Stewart stayed at 2:06 until lap 10 before tailing off further.

There are often errors in those lap time charts that RacerX creates.

They have since corrected it.

Wonder how things would've looked if Dungey could've gotten around Stewart right away. Seems like he was holding him up, plus made some mistakes trying to get by him.

That's why Dungey is destined to be a second place guy. He got around Stewart just fine when it was for second and Villopoto was checking out, but couldn't for the life of him get around Stewart to take the lead. Villopoto doesn't waste time behind riders he's faster than. He has that killer instinct to make it happen and check out. Dungey doesn't.

Watching Stewart's GoPro from the first lap in the first moto, I'm amazed how fast Villopoto checked out from everyone. He was gone.
