PrintThe second and final timed practice session is over here in Phoenix. In the Lites class, it looked like the kids were set to own it when Ken Roczen jumped to the top of the leader board (again) and Eli Tomac showed his face at the front for the first time this year by putting his number 19 in second.
But Josh Hansen wasn’t having it. After launching over the tuff blocks and off the track on the same triple that sent Roczen for an off-track excursion earlier in the day, and then blasting through the whoops so hard that he nearly went off the track again, L’il Hanny dialed it in and logged the fastest lap of the session with a 49.877, Hansen was the only Lites rider to log a sub-50-second lap time. Roczen came second in at 50.144, while Martin Davalos showed improvement over the first session by logging the third fastest time at 50.260. Kyle Cunningham (50.285) and Broc Tickle (50.324) filled out the top five.
In the supercross class, Josh Grant nailed down the fastest time early on, but James Stewart jumped again to the top of the board, and stayed there for awhile. Trey Canard consistently logged times within two tenths of Stewart, and then finally someone responded to knock Stewart off of the top step: Ryan Villopoto. He logged a 48.639. But Stewart then immediately put together a 48.421. They were the only two riders to turn laps in the 48 second range.
Stewart and Chad Reed were the only riders triple-tripling a section after the finish, but Reed still finished a distant 10th fastest at 50.028. He will need to pick it up if he wants to compete for a podium finish tonight.

Damn. Stewart and Villopoto are so fast .. I don't have a chance :( .. I guess I was lucky last year after all
I like french fries
I may not win the race, but I do have the hottest girlfriend in the pits. That's a win to me
Dear god WHY did I agree to ride this 350!?!?!? I'm screwed
Note to self: If Kenny Watson or Carey Hart ask me to hit the bong before my heat race, just say NO
I don't even care who's gonna win, I'm a retired millionare...Who catered this gig anyway?
Note to self: Take a bong rip before my heat race
Can one of you guys spot me a twenty?
Twenty bucks won't even get you a beer at a supercross. Here's a fitty
I guess Villopoto's a little faster than all the doubters thought he was going to be!
I'm still the man.
I should just give Jeff my factory ride and take his Rock River YZ450F so I could at least holeshot before I finish last place.
Excuse me?
Chad Reed, whos that guy??
I want to shoot a giraffe right in the face.
Mike! Damnit get off the internet and practice your starts! Tell that hot little piece of ass girlfriend of yours to bring me a beer and for cripes sake pay for my life!! I own you!
I hope K-roc can stay cool! Damn Reed isnt doin much. See who gets the holeshots. sounds like the track might be tighter than A1. They need to make the tracks bigger and wider, stop wasting so much space!!
You heard me Roger. My bike sucks and so do I. At least my dad is leaving me alone for once.

I'm sorry for being such a gay wad. It's just who I am
Whoever wrote all those- Perfect. I love it like Matthes loves him some cheese fries. Funny as hell.
I LOL'd at some of those posts. Let the hilarity continue!!!
hahaha..who ever posted all of this has a great sense of humor.. keep it coming. And "whatever" you need to get a life
What a crap website this has become. All these comments do nothing for this sport. There has to be a better place to keep up with supercross.
Oh yeah and one more thing.. just because I watch gay porn does NOT MAKE ME GAY. I like the dancing
God, I nee attention and pull the pud too much!
Lets just see the races
Go RV!

Ha, that used to belong to my son, he hit a tree. Didnt get hurt though, seatbelts everybody.
Ya kids drive out of control sometimes, kids will be kids
pure comedy gold sir........
Ken Rozcen will win....Just wait. He has just raw speed and perfect line selection. In over 20 years as Motocross-fan and weekend warrior, I haven`t seen someone like him. He has more talent than anybody out there. Germany rules!!!
Now James we didnt let you move out on your own just to be skrewin around on the internet. Now get back out there and teach your brother how to ride. And stay off of my MULE!!!!!
im going to need a donut before i do anything
