Moto X Super qualifying just wrapped up with Mike Sleeter taking the No. 1 slot. We missed much of it chasing down the story on James Stewart's X Games-ending shoulder injury, but photog Josh Duplechian stuck around for the entirety and assures us it all went in an orderly fashion (ie. no major disturbances of the wrecking ball kind).

Sleeter's fastest lap was 35.688 seconds. He was chased by Josh Hansen (35.9), Christian Craig (43.1), Jason Lawrence (46.3), Justin Brayton (46.8), Kevin Windham (47.0), Josh Grant (47.1), Chris Blose (47.5), Matt Boni (47.8) and, in 10th position, Jeremy McGrath (48.0) and on down the line.-TM

There is no way those times are right. Sleeter 11 seconds faster than Grant? No way in hell.

Hansen is that fast when he wants to be...
That XGames track is prolly similar to the type of sx tracks he is used to riding/practicing on in so-cal,dry hard pack.I think that is why he did so well last year.

And who knows maybe Sleeter was feeling comfortable and twisting it.

That's what I was thinking. So looks like Lawrence was fastest?

Heres a quote from Sleeter taken off of another board

"It's mistake for sure I'm riding a 250f and that has to be the lap I came in to talk to my mechanic... I can't make one of the sections on the 250f but I'm having a blast"

That stuff is wrong. The qualifing order goes as follows: Brayon with a 46.5, Hanson, Windham, Grant, Blose, Craig with a 47.5 and then I think it was Mcgrath. All I know are the people that were in front of Christian. That said, 1st - 6th was only 1 second so I think that goeto show ya how close everyone is.

That track is really nice and they're doing a better job of watering it.

The only section that sucks is the start. Other than that, hats off to the track builder.

What was wrong with the start, too dry?

Not to dry.... You take off and then hit a table then into a sharp left hander. Let's just say its different. The rest of the track is really nice. They don't allow supermoto or rally on any parts of the track so its a legit SX track.

That's good about the supermoto having their own course. This year they are running after the SX guys race after the supermoto. Could you imagine the blue groove they would have to contend with? Good move on the X Games staff for sure.

Is the start fair though? As in, is there one clear advantage to your stating gate?
