It’s obvious that those with the fastest lap times win the motos. Hangtown proved that idea, but it doesn’t always work out that way. After all, the slower and consistent tortoise beat the hare to the finish line.
From what I could gather, there were several times that caught me by surprise. First, Justin Barcia was the second fastest 250 rider, yet he finished fifth overall (5-7 moto scores). Also, second moto 450 winner Mike Alessi logged his fastest lap of the day during the second moto (third fastest out of everyone with a 2:15.130). Other 450 riders that logged faster second motos than first motos were Kyle Regal and Andrew Short. Four out of the top ten fastest times were logged by 250 riders, yet the 450 class had a smoother track to work with. The Hangtown track crew cleaned up a few minor sections (notably the start straight), but with a rougher track the 250 riders were still able to reach warp speeds. And out of the top 25 lap times, 14 belonged to 250 riders.
