Remember when Reed tried to run Stewart off the track at Vegas in 09 maybe. Not to cool actually...

Tomac should consult Reed on proper form and technique!

As I remember, Reed's attempt was ineffective, so maybe not.

Different scenario, as Reed wasn't the faster of the two that year, so many people thought he didn't deserve it anyways. Eli is arguably the faster rider in this situation, though not as consistent. But the impact those team orders had was huge, to go from a 6 point to a 9 point difference... unfortunately, with that move from Marvin, KTM opened the door for dirty tactics, and I don't think they should be surprised if things get a little dirtier than expected in Vegas.

Tomac will get the black flag if its overly obvious. Also, Tomac would run a risk of hurting himself or his bike too, which could hinder him from winning the race.

All that said, Eli is a gentleman and true competitor. I fully expect Eli to race hard but clean. That's the way he has done it all year and I don't see him changing it now.

Only time will tell how huge. It means he'll need to finish 4th if Tomac wins rather than 3rd. I'm of the mind that if Ryan can even sniff 3rd place while in 4th at any time of the race and no matter who is in 3rd. hes making the pass.

Bradshaw can tell you how easy that is

It'll be huge if Ryan wins by 2 pts or less

Should Dungey just punt Tomac? Should Marvin Punt Tomac, should Grant Punt Dungey.

I'll take a Punt and say none of those happen

Tomac and Dungey have always raced clean that I can remember. Respect, no issues between the 2.
Reedy DID try and punt Stewart @ Vegas that one year (in the long sweeper '09-ish?), but it didn't work out so well for the punter.
Tomac WILL have his time on top, no need to resort to bs.

I would rather see him punt starvin' Marvin. He and Roger should go back to Europe and take a nap after lunch. Haha

Dungey has enough speed to run the position he needs even if he got punted or cleaned out. It would be a massive blot on Tomacs character and achieve absolutely nothing.

You're right. Maybe Dungey should t bone him when he laps him next week.

How fucking embarrassing was Tomac just about to be lapped yesterday!

Sorry. Tomac has to much class. Trust that he blames himself more than anyone else.

He fell once almost twice and took forever to start his bike. Dungey has nothing to do with this, nor Musquin.
He has to do anything he can to win without hurting another rider.

Tomac won't take a page out of Reed's book, he will do his best and let the chips fall.
