The conditions at Steel City were very moist and tacky, giving the riders a lot of ruts to deal with. Ricky Carmichael's fastest times were really close each moto, and most of the 250F class improved their times in the second moto. Here's how they breakdown for each moto.

And finally, we have to give credit to Rockstar Suzuki's Ryan Mills, who finished third in the first moto. His best moto score up to this point this season was a 10th, which came back in the first moto at Hangtown. To prove that his result was no fluke, check out his lap times from the first moto below.
