Super bummed for Dean, but I was thinking befor the contact the Deano shouldn't have started racing Eli that way. It ended pretty much the way I feared it would. I'm also a fan of both riders and I hope Dean is okay.
fuck around, lay around.
wow

No question Wilson "Started it" but in my opinion Tomac went a little over board.
If Dean wanted to take out Tomac he could of in either instance, but chose not to.
If you bend your shifter so bad that you get stuck in gear for the 4 or so laps, and almost cooked his cluch, it was over the top aggressive....just saying..
As far i as i saw it , Tomac didn't planned it , he just got to much traction and Wilson kept it WOT . Wilson's fault .
I think Wilson shoulda rode like that against Barcia .
I also find it very amusing to see Mr punt Hanson in the big boys class . I'm guessing Bambam won't be very different , except with better result ..
But i really liked Tomac's honesty when interviewed about the race incident . God i hate political correctness
Good thing about being canadian is that we have very good flame suits so flame on
Something had to happen the way they were going at it.
Eli definitely had the speed over Dean Saturday night. Dean chose to go for broke and try to intimidate Eli and it didn’t work. In a situation like that, the slower rider usually sets the tone for the level of aggression. Eli played it like the future champion he is and gave Dean the proper response.
I don’t blame Dean for making the choice he did, but he probably should have saved it for the last round, and not played that card with 3 to go. If he had accepted the fact that Eli was faster that night and finished right behind him he would still be leading the championship with two to rounds to go.
Wilson should have expected it and backed off a little or banked left... I did say out loud "you deserved it you dick" but i reckon it was over the top, that could have ended up with broken bones or worse. I hope the season doesn't suffer for it.
i am a huge fan of both these lads and i want to see them push but i just think that was a step too far - kinda like the CR22 move on JS7 last year (Atlanta?) where he had no intention of bumping Stewart off course, just crashing straight into him - we wanna see them rough each other up but in a safe manner.

Good fun racing. Better than the snoozer 450 class.
"It just sucks, but, if that’s the way he wants to win a championship, then congrats to him." - Says the guy who started the race by taking Eli off the track twice.
"If he thinks I was riding dirty, it wasn’t dirty it was aggressive, like I said, this is a championship. But it’s fine, I believe in karma and I think he’ll get it." - So apparently it's just aggressive when Dean runs Eli off the track twice, but when Eli puts one block pass on Dean (which he could have absolutely avoided - see the AS/KR pass in the 450 main), it's dirty. Sorry Dean, but the pass that Eli put on you was YOUR karma coming back to YOU.
"I just saw an interview he did after the race. If I was in his shoes, I would at least wait to even see if I was all right. It’s tough racing, but an apology, or at least just come over and talk about it and be cool, but he just didn’t even want to be bothered." - And how exactly is that supposed to look? "Sorry I started playing the game you started Dean. Totally should have just let you run away with it."
I think the 450 will be the RV show with RD help to add some excitement everyonce in a while. Hope I am wrong and someone else steps up to win a few.
Dean had a choice:
- Check up and live to see the next corner (like Eli did when Dean passed him there)
- Square the corner up and fly right behind Eli and beat him next to the corner
- Pin it and hope Eli moves
Obviously Wilson opted for door number 3 and found himself on the ground. Eli didn't do anything different than what Dean had done to him just laps before - the difference was that Eli saw it coming and decided to get him later in the race, and Dean just went full steam ahead into Eli.
I gotta go with Eli on this one. It was good to see he didn't just take Dean's shit. It sucks he bent his shifer though. Would have been better to see him chase down Sipes.
IMO, that interview with Dean doesn't bode well. I hope his team doesn't support his view on the event. The kid needs to downsize his helmet, race with his talent and not his attitude.

This is pretty well out of the corner, too. It's not like Eli made a straight line to Dean's front wheel. Eli took the line, and Dean ran straight into him.
