No not at all. Tomac rode great today and deserves it after a though 13-14 months. Was just an answer to the Roczen "insult"

I think we're in for a good second half, boys. Unfortunately for Roczen, Tomac is also very good at Millville, remember 2014 when he went 1-1 out of nowhere passing Kenny?

Not to take anything away from Roczen though, gotta know he's gonna win some more and has been absolutely incredible this year, can't really see him losing this title.

Yup agreed. It was a matter of time. You could clearly see Tomac had a better day. I still got my money on Roczen for the championship and better overall result through out the rest. Good ride for Tomac well deserved.

If Tomac wins again next week, Roczen's confidence will take a hit. Roczen will probably win the battle, but Tomac can still win a few more wars and send a very strong message.

The problem for Tomac is that nobody else will get between him and roczen and, without doing the math, I don't think Tomac winning out and roczen taking second gives Tomac a chance of winning still.

But the cool thing is roczen is supposed to be awesome sand rider, and Tomac just beat roczen where you would presume roczen would have his strongest showing.

Great racing today regardless. Tomac just gave us something worth watching in the 450 class for the rest of the season.

Just stepped in the door from the 'wick
not sure if the TV coverage really does justice to the lead Tomac and Roczen had over Barcia in the second moto, those two were in a different league

It was just so sick the way he held it pinned and flattracked through that one corner

Eli made KR his bitch today...

Sandy/Softer shit seemed to make ET3's ass-end more compliant and offered better drive. PC/ME/KAW has surely noted this...

KR and ET3 battles henceforth will be wonderful. We all should be happy!

2 seconds between Tomac and Roczen, then 1:11 back to third place. So KR was nobody's "bitch". the two were in another league

This, at this point the championship is secondary to witnessing a battle at the front in the 450 races.

He somehow missed the "details" of moto 1... Thanks for reinforcing that "fine" point.

Tomac and Roczen have had great MX battles since they were in 250's together. Injuries to both have limited their 450 duels. I think when both are dialed in they're near each other in speed and the kind of speed that puts them at them at the front. Makes for damn good racing.

Tomac has been his own worst enemy in the past and so far this season. He's put himself so far in a hole that it will be hard to climb out.

Climbing out of the hole or not, I am just happy to finally see the real ET.

Yep, if we see this Tomac for the rest of the season, we'll be in for a treat.

Not real surprising. We've lost literally everyone that would be between KR/ET and the Barcias/Musquins.
