Watching Bar to Bar 2004 today the highlights of the 125 St. Louise race showed James with a 27+ second gap on 2nd place Josh Hansen. Got me thinking, with 2 weeks ago, we hit the smallest win-by gap ever. What would be the largest? In SX and/or MX? Anybody know where to find those times? 27 seconds in a supercross race seems unbeatable, and whenever Ricky lapped the field in MX might also be the top, but I am sure you guys have some others you can think of...

Several years back there was an SX race where the guy getting over the finish line jump first wasn't the winner. Seems the transponder pickup is buried at the base of the jump, not the lip. How did that work out in Dallas ?

James won at Millville during his perfect season run by a minute and 10 seconds, but I'm guessing Ricky surpassed that at some point during his 24-0 runs.

Didn't Tomac beat Dungey at Hangtown in 2015 by one minute 35 seconds or close to that?

If the tomac 2015 hangtown win was the largest margin, and Detroit was the smallest margin, you could argue that we live in a time with some of the best racing happening..and that we may look back on this era the same way many look back on MC in the 90s or RC in the late 90s early 2000s...

Herlings beat Van Horebeek by 2:05 at the GP in Lierop on a perfectly conditioned track, laped up to 2nd place. What RC did was on a totaly muddy track where bikes got stuck etc. I say Herlings performance is on par or bigger than what RC did.. ? NOT neglichating RC though, crazy performance also.

Not pro, but growing up watching Travis Pastrana as an amateur lap most of the field and put over a minute on second place was pretty common.

He lapped DV as well. But thats gotta be the biggest gap considering the lap times were probably around 3 minutes in that mess.

Watching James ride a 125 really was something else. Glad I got to witness it in person.

Watching him ride the 125 was insane, but the second moto at Glen Helen in 04 on the 250F? He absolutely destroyed everyone.

Didn't Carmichael lap up to 2nd place in one race? I would consider that a pretty big gap...

Probably the biggest margin of victory but not the most impressive IMO. The huge margins on dry tracks are more impressive to me

I totally forgot about that performance! That might be up there in the top 3 biggest margins (dry or wet)

My bad. I thought DV was the only one he didn’t lap.

05 San Diego. All of the other riders were basically just more obstacles.

2005 San Diego Supercross. On the last lap in the same corner Chad passed Rickey, and Larocco passed DV for 3rd, they were a lap apart. Chad lapped DV, Rickey crashed and Larocco stayed on the lead lap. Top 3 finished on the lead lap.

But the battle for 1st and 3rd being in the same corner a lap apart will always stand out in my mind. Reed had the whoops dialed that night.

2006 San Fran James and Ricky lapped the field.

The next race was at SBC Park in San Francisco, and this time the rain showed up and stayed. An epic battle got underway after a holeshot by MDK Honda rider Nick Wey, who hailed from Michigan and was right at home in the mud. Once Stewart and RC dispatched of Wey, they took off together and put on a collective mud-riding clinic. Said Ralph Sheheen, “I’ve never seen a race that was so slow that was so thrilling!” They put the entire field down a lap, as Wey—in earning his first premier-class podium—only completed eleven of the rain-shortened twelve-lap race. Watch this instant classic’s highlights right here.

That ride was completely insane. He already had a 15 second lead after the opening lap. It's to this day the most impressive riding I've ever seen. It was otherworldly how fast he was that day. Even more crazy considering he was just 18 at the time.
