Coming into round six of the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship at RedBud, there have been two common themes surrounding the series--Chad Reed, Ryan Dungey, and Ryan Villopoto have separated themselves from the rest of the pack, and Pro Circuit continues to layeth the smacketh down on the 250 Class. Following RedBud, not much has changed. Reed and the Ryans finished 1-2-3, while the PC boys swept the podium yet again. But you will read plenty about the racing throughout the week, so let's get to the lap times, brought to you by Motion Pro.

TwoTwo Motorsports/Bel-Ray's Chad Reed continued his hot start to the season, taking the moto one win at RedBud, but boy did Ryan Dungey make it difficult. The Rockstar/Makita Suzuki pilot hounded Reed all the way to the final turn, but came up short in his bid to break into Reed's stash of points. Just in case you were wondering, Reed set the fastest lap of the moto with a 2:13.107 on lap three.
Monster Energy Kawasaki's Ryan Villopoto finally broke out of his second-moto slump at RedBud. Villopoto absolutely destroyed the field en route to his moto victory, all the while setting the fastest lap of the moto with a blistering 2:10.767 on lap three.

GEICO Powersports Honda's Justin Barcia once again proved to be a vital threat to the Pro Circuit trio, but like Thunder Valley, mistakes would cost Barcia in his bid to break the Pro Circuit streak of victories. Regardless of how he finished, Justin can take solace in knowing that he set the fastest lap of moto 1 with a 2:15.005 on lap two.
Is it just me or is Blake Baggett beginning to resemble a young Ryan Villopoto? This kid has got loads of talent with a quiet assassin mentality to match. If he can continue to put in consistent results we may just have a three-way battle to the finish for the 250 title. And yes, he did set the fastest lap of moto 2.

Jessica Patterson and Ashley Fiolek continue to show their dominance in the WMX class. Patterson set the fastest laps in both moto, but lost valuable points as Fiolek went 1-1 for the overall in her native state of Michigan.

Laying it down on lap 13 after a bad crash is hard core!!!
How many moto's has Justin Barcia crashed away this year? 4??5?? Time to say it BD200. Justin Barcia is just like JS right?
RV knows what he needs to do from here on out and his 2nd moto showed his determination.....Little misfortune on his end in Moto 1, but thats racing and finishing the race like he did was impressive.. He is definelty the man to beat and hopefully takes control in the second half of the series....Reed will have his bad motos I am sure...
Wow, 5 of the top ten in moto one had their fastest lap on lap 3.... pretty cool
@BILLC. thats funny coiming from you Bill, considering you love Stewie and hate Barcia. But they are similat but also different. Barcia seems to be a supercross specialist, while Stewie struggled with crashing there. Barcia is trying way too hard I think. Has he ever heard the term "Slow down to go faster"???
But RV absolutely killed it in the 2nd moto. He gapped them pretty bad. 1st moto he had a lot of speed, but had a pretty bent up bike too. But to come from 37th to 9th was an amazing ride. Better than Stewie at Daytona right BILLC. ??
And Ashley has got to be one of the coolest girls ever. My wife and I have met her twice now, and she is just happy to be racing. Loves her fans, and is very approachable to everyone... And JP is just the same, just a little more laid back. She is just very easy going and cool. I am glad the WMX makes a stop at Red Bud every year, its great, and we get to watch 2 more motos for the same price..
I hate Barcia and love JS... Damn bd200 I did not know that.... How did you?? Either why a few weeks back I asked you this and you said if he keeps doing it you will but now you are making excuese...Hmmmmmm
.RV's ride and JS's Daytona ride were both SICK IMO, Both took Guts and determination IMO. Witch was better?? I don't know...Tough call IMO.
holley molley. RV taking the fastest lap by a full second and bb57 taking it by 2 seconds. THATS CALLED FLYIN!!! dang imagine how porked stewart would be if he had stayed 4 the outdoors, i bet hed be 30 seconds down from baggett if he was on a 450 in the 250 class.
Enough with the IMOs. GODDAMN.
Anyone think it would've been possible to go through the sand whoops, double out of them like Dungey did when he again failed to pass Reed, but then cut to the INSIDE for the 180 corner? That would be so fast if it were possible, but you'd probably be carrying way too much momentum.
Anyway, Villopoto is an animal, and so is Baggett. They're like the same person out on the track.
Dungey and Dean Wilson are the same person, too. They're fast and consistent, but they just couldn't hang with the leaders this weekend, despite having their best shot at doing so right in front of them.
"imagine how porked stewart would be if he had stayed 4 the outdoors, i bet hed be 30 seconds down from baggett if he was on a 450 in the 250 class."
Yes, Kawi, that sounds totally reasonable.
@Kawi567 - Oh, and you seem to have overlooked Barcia over Baggett by 2 seconds in moto 1.
I think its time for metty to shine. top fives from here on out
Another new rule, Can't say IMO.... Man the rules around here is a long list.
. BTW Whoops_Blitzer "IMO" stops a LOT of arguments because some on here take every post as if the person who posted it stated it as a fact!! Sorry if it pisses u off but I will still be using it. Because IMO I can LOL
@BILLC - O.K., you can use it. But not three times in two lines--OR ELSE (says the guy who triple-posted).
I don't find 'IMO' necessary, though, since my opinions are facts. :D (No, seriously.)
@BILLC, making excuses for what?? I have no clue what that comment meant. But he is trying way to hard. Like Stewie was, trying to win the entire season in one race. Guys get used to winning, and if they kinda hit a slump, they arent sure how to get over it. Thier answer is to twist the throttle as hard as they can. Stewie went on a 6 race streak were he didnt win a race, and his answer was to go as fast as possible and he crashed as a result. Barcia is doing the same thing, but its just the way I am seeing it. But I dont know what you meant by saying I was making excuses. And you have said yourself that you do not like Barcia, you said he is a take-out artist.
And coming from 37th to 9th trumps coming from 20th to 9th.
RV prety much had to do what he did in M1
His gut check in M1 kept him with one race of Reed in points
Reed 268
Villlo 252
RD 246
Another way to look at 16 points down is
RV wins the next FIVE motos and Reed gets second RV would be down 1 point
with 7 motos left
Another way to look at 25 points ( one race) down is
RV wins the next EIGHT and Reed gets second RV would be down 1 point
with 4 motos left
Ah TGO!
JD
@bd200 Well it depends on how you look at that ride, villopoto had 35 minutes to pass those guys while James had about 15 so ????????? But then again I know you love knocking a great rider like James Stewart whenever you can...Are you and jairtime buds?
RV fans are just as crazy and talk as much as stewart fans, there bolth cut from the same branch it's funny people say during sx the bubba fans swingning on him but what are the RV fans during nationals? "hes going to destroy it 24-0 baby!" oh give him a few motos, and he will dominate","just wait hes going to take all the overalls from here on out" lmao same thing.
I don't think Ryan Dungey will have another season like this, he's tasted sweet victory and I mean look at the lap times, He's so close...He's proved he can run with Villopoto, and can beat Reed. Better Starts and RD5 would have won atleast 3 more motos this year. It's no excuse but I feel for the guy, it has to be so frustrating to close up on someones rear wheel and just not be able to get by. I'd love to see him stay on Suzuki's but I wish the guy the best wherever he goes, I really like the kid. He reminds me of a young Jeff Emig, smooth, calculated and his fitness is second to none!!

@keepinitrealstupid, don't be a hater. Your boy lacks sack, belongs in a shack, smokes a lot of crack and has no spine in his back. That's why he ain't at the track. Enjoy his nuts as a snack.
@jairtime whatever you White trash piece of Sh*t, go back to the hole you crawled out of. I seem to look up and see my last comment about Dungey get your facts straight you hand clappin knee slappin Sh*t kickin hilljack
Jartime that was pretty funny.Poor slow Chad.& out 12 moto wins.4 out of 6 overall wins.You suck Chad,quit racing.The two Rayns are just to fast.
The way the first 6 tracks have been so over prepped there is no way that you can come from the back to the front.Not even the Goat could have moved to the front at red bud.All the tracks have sucked and been one lined.We've been cheated of great racing this year.I think some of it has to do with TV and not being able to fix the tracks between motos.
I remember hearing "SCOREBOARD" when asked about consistent results. That was THEE G.O.A.T. RC4. I find it amazing that @CRtwowtwo is still laying wood and running his own team and family. Honda needs cr22 badly because squirrelly doesn't get the job done. P.S. RC4 could still wax everybody on an old HRC CR250R!
Honda politics disturbs me...McGrath01, Rossi46, RC4, Hayden69...riders that left panache and prestige to a company under contract. @CRtwotwo is won heck of a guy for the love of mx!!!
bums me out ROADRACERX is no longer around!
@keepinitreal RV dropped RD a few times, PASSED hime and put over 10sec on him 2 times, The only time RD has beaten RV he started in front of him other than the first race when RV was sicker than a dog. RD is GREAT but can't pass to save his life so he is not on the same level as RV imo.
@bd200 I never said I don't like Barcia, I like his go for it style just like I like JS'S go for it style. I like that kind of rider thats why I like RD but am not a huge fan because he does not go for it. I don't hate Barcia, I do think he is a bit of a punk thought and is a bit on the dirty side for sure, whitch is fine when needed but he does it all the time.
. Also like said above, RV had 35mis JS had about 15 so very close call to me.
So let me get this straight... If you root for anyone other than Chad Reed you " talk to much" or your swinging from someones nuts....yet for every RV prediction, there is a " Nope, Chad is the man" rebuttle......I for one will never discredit Reeds ability to ride a bike, he wouldnt be riding a factory Honda if he didnt deserve it....the thing is (for those have been around along time)....Reed seems to be somewhat of a fake and his 180 personality change this year makes me think that even more.....almost like he is trying too hard to win people over...its a game to him and the Reed lovers are eatin it up..but is it for real?...in the past few weeks, I have seen that old Reed attitude creep out when he loses.....even after winning the overall he was complaining about a 1 lined track..... Reed knows that unless RV has more bad luck, he is going to fall back and play second fittle like he did with RC and JS the remainder of the series....Reed is doing awesome and if he wins the title, he certainly earned it., but he is still a tool..
@Tru Dat, yeah Reed will always be a whining tool!
Villopoto took T-Hahn out on the start plain and simple. Crashes like that and taking other riders out, hurting them to where Hahn wasn't able to race and hurting him in the points is B.S.
If RV2 can't race without taking other people out, then ban him from the sport or start docking points!!!
Total, Total b.s.
Hey BillC, honestly, what is your opinion?
@BillC..I'm not saying that RD can match Villopoto step for step but he's proved if he gets the starts he is tough to beat. I'm just not convinced that RV2 is this dominate force to be reckoned with like everyone hypes him up to be. He only won 1 more race than JS7 in Supercross and just has not lived up to the expectations for this outdoor season. Everyone predicted 15-20 moto wins and I'm not sure that's gonna happen. He's fast but he's no RC
@keepinitrealstupid, you should have said, "I'm just not convinced that RV2 is this dominant force..." instead of "I'm just not convinced that RV2 is this dominate force..."
Affirmative action and preferential treatment is always easy to spot, nomesane? Isn't it wonderful that your teachers pushed you through school with a D-9 Caterpillar?
@jairtime, OH I'm sorry I guess in a perfect world there's no such thing as typos and for your information I graduated my junior year with a 3.8 GPA so keep gargling nuts you psycho
jairtime
Im here .......................
I'm rooting for Dungey this season, but I'm afraid folks are right when they say Villopoto is just now hitting his stride; he likely would've skipped to a 1-1 over the weekend if he hadn't fouled the start in the first moto, and I really don't see him slowing down.
I do wonder where those 1:10 lap times come from...my first thought is that his corner speed looks positively homicidal.
@Whoops_Blitzer..........IMO (I know how u like that :) ) You are right about RV, With good starts he could very easly take over the rest of the year.
@keepinitrealforstewart, you are such a freakin' liar it isnt funny. Go to bed and stare at your Stewart posters on your ceiling and keep dreaming.
I can fit more pro nuts in my mouth than the average fella!
Yep, sleep well with my Stewart/Dungey/Windham/McGrath/Carmichael/Barcia/Canard posters on my wall! Fan of all of them....thank you for noticing
Have all of their autographs too...great bunch of guys....Oh I'm sorry Jairtime I know you want to believe I'm a one rider fan...That would be you...you are the one that can't stop talking about James Stewart. You even get on here under different names so that you can talk about him even more
A lot of you are way to OTT about this
