he has the heart of a 20 year old german kid whose living the dream and trying not to get burnt out.
figure it out already.
to me it seems like he just tends to rest on his success and thats why he worked prior to the outdoors, smoked everyone in hangtown (OK tomac wasnt riding like he does not, has to be said) and was pretty dominant (now not so much).
if he stays in the 250s I'm pretty sure no one (except maybe Baggett) is gonna step up to him with tomac gone and he's gonna go on like hes doing now^^
pretty sure he wont be happy to ride around in P5-7 in the 450s so he's gonna work his butt off to keep up with barcia and tomac
but you also have to keep his age in mind... he's 2 years younger than tomac, in 2 years you can get a lot better, I mean a lot
kenny is one cool dude and a great racer.
but he's even said it.
he doesnt want to go " balls out " ,
he feels at his best relaxing and having fun.
it's obvious the kid puts in hard work,
not everyone's cut out to grind like rc, rv or now, et!
he's still a great rider...

I can't help but think that Geico engine looks a bit stronger than the KTM at times. There have been a few occasions where Eli has easily pulled a gap in a drag race along a straight section of track, or out of a turn which they have exited side by side. Thats not to take anything away from Eli though, he has clearly been the better rider for the past few months.
While reading this I was thinking how great he is doing. Unfortunately for him, there's another guy on the track named Eli.

Showed us all how it was done in the SX championship. A likable German, wow!
I don't think KROC is much different from last year, but there was differences in the series that made him "look" better.
First, Eli took a lil' while to get going, and then he was pretty much at the speed he ended with last year. Secondly, and this is important, El Chuppacabra is riding injured and so... his outdoor speed has not been there for the most part. Barcia moved up full time to the 450's. This allowed Ken some breathing room and win possibilities early on in the series.
Ken had huge leads last year that got swallowed up, he got passed and then gapped. Same as has been happening lately, it just took a little while to show due to the reasons I listed above. I wouldn't go so far as to say he's just been lucky, but he was taking advantage of the situation that was not directly linked to his own raw speed and fitness.
That's how I've seen it, am I crazy???
ET came alive once he announced that he would be riding for GEICO Honda in the 450 class for 2014. I honestly think that ET was having to sort through so many different options for who to sign with that he could not concentrate as much on training and practicing. Once he had a deal in his back pocket he became a different rider.
