Sign of the (Lap) Times: Jacksonville
March 30, 2010 3:41pm | by: Jason Weigandt
Jacksonville's round of Monster Energy Supercross presented riders with a short lap time ad perfect soil in which to execute those laps. When it was over, it was clear just how close the competition in this series can be.

We revised the Sign of the (Lap) Times chart compared to the one we posted on Tuesday. Kevin Windham actually logged the third-fastest lap and that is now reflected here.
Talk about close competition! Ryan Dungey edged Ryan Villopoto's lap time by the slimmest measureable margin. One one-thousandth of a second! Beyond that, you'll see the results had more to do with starts than speed, as plenty of riders finished in a different spot than their lap time would indicate.
Supercross Lites
Christophe Pourcel was back in charge of Lites East on this evening, the only rider to bust out a 48-second lap, which would have been third fastest in the 450 class. Austin Stroupe ran very fast, too, but Pourcel was back to being on another level this time.
Bummer for Martin Davalos, who was fast for the second week in a row. But after last week's first-turn-crash to fourth ride, he crashed out of this one and took 19th. He did have the fifth-best time recorded even though he only made two laps.

Ryan Dungey was barely, barely faster than Ryan Villopoto in Jacksonville. And we mean barely!

Christophe Pourcel was way fast in Jax.
