Odds are very good that Tomac will end today as the 2017 champ, after having been completely outridden the last few weeks by Musquin. And now to top it off he could be completely destroyed on the track by Herlings, a guy on a vacation with a borrowed bike. I really wanted 25 to win the title but I feel bad for Tomac. But of course, Monday morning the check will still have a bunch of zeros on it.
I am a musquin fan personally, but his injury did him in this year. It isn't over until it's over, though.

Depends on how much risk he is willing to take for his ego. I know I would for sure be going for the championship in moto 1 and then ego boost moto 2.
Pumped for Tomac and Herlings
It would have been nice had Tomac stamped it with a 1-1, but at the end of the day the #1 plate is his and he completely earned it. Congrats Eli!!!
This guy is a Tomah hater, nothing more.
I'll add I don't think tomac would have had anything for Herlings anyway, but that's called speculation

I'm happy for Eli, but my god the kid is a headcase. Makes us appreciate the Dungey's, and RV's all that much more.
I've said many times that I'm not a Tomac fan, no particular reason. I don't hate him but this is a MX board, these guys get paid big money. It comes with the check. He has the talent to dominate but doesn't posses the mental toughness. Which is odd since he more than almost anyone has been groomed for this job his whole life. He won the title, no asterisk from me.
The championship always wins the one with the most points, that's all.
Both interviews he started with his signature cockiness and then pulled it right back in, that was a good move. Any more and he would have lost a ton of fans that he just made.
