Round 8 of the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship shows strategy plays a role in when and where to go fast, especially on a slippery track like Washougal in Washington. Take a look at this week's Sign of the (Lap) Times, presented by Motion Pro, for a look at who went fast--and as you will see, it really depends on who needed it and wanted it more.

Brett Metcalfe sets the fastest lap of the 2nd 450 moto at Washougal

Ryan Dungey was fastest in moto 1 by a large margin. No surprise there. But check out moto 2. Brett Metcalfe gets it done! No doubt it came down to Metty and The Dunge doing what they needed to do, as Dungey had a good start and patiently stalked Andrew Short for the lead, while Metcalfe was working his way up from the back. So Metcalfe had to charge while Dungey could afford to ride within his comfort zone. Either that or Metty was just on it in that moto!

Trey Canard was dominant all day en route to 1-1 moto finishes, but Christophe Pourcel was buried in about tenth early in moto 1, and his charge through the pack netted him the fastest lap time of the moto. When they went head-to-head in moto 2, though, Canard had it dialed in, while Pourcel was struggling a little when a rock smashed his clutch line.

I don't think I've seen a single "Sign of the Lap Times" with the correct moto results. For instance, I didn't realize that CP finished first in the first moto. My eyes must have been fooling me when I saw a Canard sweep.
Trey wins out the final 10 motos & CP finishes no better than 3rd in 4 motos and the title goes to #38, simple right? Take out move anyone? Let Trey (Broc) bye? This could get interesting....
Nice ride Metty
Put Metty and Regal on Suzuki next year and Hahn a dream team doubt if suzuki has the money to sign them all but better grab one of those dudes!
You right BillC. I think Metty was like in 24th at the beginning of that moto. He was on the move......
Wow I didn't know Pourcel went 1-2 !
Great ride by Metcalfe in moto 2, passed 20 riders to get 5th. That last charge through the whoops to pass Wey at the finish was awesome.
Pourcel still finds a way to win the 1st moto again ! the guy is crafty
once again the Dunge is not that much faster but still wins. May be he also has more in the tank. I wish RV was healthy then we would have known for sure. I guess we will find out when JS returns at dilla.
Dungy isnt that much faster, but when you can turn pretty much the same fast lap times for the whole race, your gonna win by a mile.. That was RC's biggest advantage.. FITNESS....
Must be a mis-print. Canard did go 1-1. Pourcel did NOT win the 1st moto.
Yea the're so used to Pourcel winning first moto that they had the chart pre-filled. thats a mistake.
I think Duneys lap times dont fade as the race goes on, he is in excellent shape. But RC's biggest advantage was talent and he refused to lose no matter what. He won in the 125 class when he was chubby as can be, he is very talented, its one thing noone gives him credit for for some reason. I dont see any takeout moves coming, the 250 class is so tight, if anyone waste any time trying to knock someone down. He would get passed by 3 or 4 riders easily.
Yeah , I agree with bd200. This is one lap, the BEST, of each and Dungey's stay closer to his best than the others do. Plus, if you're a second a lap faster that is 16 seconds right there at the end of the race. Go back and see how RC or James' laps stacked up against their competition.
