The Ryans and James Stewart set an unattainable pace in the first moto—one that the rest of the field was unable to match. Villopoto, the only rider to dip into the 2:08’s, set the fastest lap of the day, with Dungey and Stewart not far behind. The interesting stat in all of this is that all three were 2-3 seconds faster than Justin Barcia’s fastest lap, which was the fourth fastest of the moto. A rare occurrence, especially considering the depth of the 450 Class.
Dungey opened an early lead over Villopoto but as the laps ticked away, so did Dungey’s lead. Dungey was able to collect himself down the stretch, holding off a late onslaught by RV. Let’s take a look at the final five laps to see where RV was able to gain ground on Dungey.

An undisclosed ailment has keep Chad Reed from being the Chad Reed we have grown accustomed to over the past decade. However, Reed has slowly begun to turn the corner, with Washougal proving to be one of his best rides of the season. Reed set the eighth fastest lap of the moto, and was just over a second back of the fourth fastest lap set by Barcia.

Just like in moto one, the Ryans controlled the pace up front. Villopoto, for the second straight moto, was the only rider to lay down a lap in the 2:08’s, which put him nearly three seconds faster than James Stewart, who set the third fastest lap of the moto.
Dungey was looking to make a statement in the second moto by jumping out to an early lead, but Villopoto was determined to break his overall winless streak at Washougal. He stalked Dungey for a few laps before using the outside to make a pass stick. Check out the chart below to see where RV made up for lost time.

RCH Suzuki rider Broc Tickle’s season has been one to forget. Poor starts have been a major impediment for the former Western Regional Supercross Lites Champion. At Washougal, Tickle finally busted his start slump, tying a season high of fifth in the second moto. He would set the fourth fastest lap in the moto as well.

Eli Tomac added to his already sizable stack of dominant wins over the weekend by stomping the competition at Washougal. Check out his fastest lap; it's nearly a second-and-a-half faster than Justin Bogle's fastest time, which was the second fastest of the moto. While only three other riders were able to dip down into the 2:11 range, Tomac started below it and didn't even come out until lap ten when he turned a 2:12.042. With demoralizing wins like this, Tomac's fellow 250 races are probably looking forward to him graduating to the 450 ranks next year.
Roczen did indeed find himself in a battle in this moto, only this time it was with teammate Marvin Musquin. Roczen passed Musquin on lap eight and opened a bit of a gap, only to see Musquin surge late in the moto and nearly retake the position. The chart below show's Musquin's strong finish. If it wasn't for a tiny mistake near the end of the final lap, Musquin may have passed Roczen, which at the end of the day, would have handed the championship lead over to Tomac.

Great moto for Justin Hill, who got a decent start and kept himself from getting shuffled back and ended up in fifth. After RedBud, Hill said that everyone has been faster than he anticipated, and that he needed to step up his game. Well, he did that at his home track in Washougal by setting lap times consistent with some of the established veterans in the class. Nice ride.

When Ken Roczen found himself hot on Eli Tomac's tail early in the second lap of moto two, it looked like we'd finally get a chance to see the two go at it. Unfortunately for everyone except Eli Tomac and GEICO Honda, that didn't happen. Instead, Tomac started inching away before really taking control just before the halfway point . What's interesting is that although Roczen got a terrible start in the first moto, Tomac's margin of victory in moto one (19.739) over Roczen was almost identical to his margin of victory in moto two (20.021), despite Roczen's good start in the second moto. Check out the chart below to see how Tomac steadily put time on Roczen to eventually win the moto.
