Rockstar Makita Suzuki’s Ryan Dungey topped the time charts during qualifying for tonight’s round of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series in Toronto’s Rogers Centre. Dungey was fastest in the first timed session and edged Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Ryan Villopoto by 0.017 seconds. San Manuel Yamaha’s Josh Hill was third fastest, ahead of GEICO Powersports Honda’s Kevin Windham and Red Bull Honda substitute rider Trey Canard.

In the Lites class, Monster Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Christophe Pourcel turned the fastest time, nearly a second faster than MotoConcepts Yamaha’s Ryan Sipes. Meanwhile, Rockstar Makita Suzuki’s Austin Stroupe, Monster Pro Circuit Kawasaki's Dean Wilson and Rockstar Canidae Suzuki’s Jake Moss rounded out the top five.

Absent from today’s round is Kawasaki’s Chad Reed, who had indicated last week that he would return to the series in Canada. However, according to Kawasaki, a nagging thumb injury has delayed his debut until next week’s round in Dallas.

Unlike last year when the track was wet due to soil that was still thawing from being stored in freezing temperatures, this year’s track is dry and in relatively good shape, although it has a few rocks mixed in. Unfortunately, due to travel costs, only 23 riders made the trip north of the border to race the 450 class while the 250 division was supplemented by a few Canadian riders.
