Saying (like a lot of guys on here) that Tomac is now "in Roczens head" or that Roczen has his "2nd half meltdown" on the other hand, is just plain clueless - in my eyes. These guys are racers, and if they have a meltdown just because someone beat them on one or more races, they wouldn't be where they are now.

And well, I guess Roczen knows that he doesn't need to go all in when it comes to moto wins from now on. He can stay inside his comfort level and still win this championship. But he really loves to win races, and so there is hope he won't back it down when he and Tomac fight for moto wins.
this season is by no means over....and tomac has steadily been haunting roczen. Its definitely kennys championship to lose. he has positioned himself well. but tomac is gonna dog him the whole rest of the way. Is kenny happy settling for seconds the rest of the season to win the championship? i know what dungey would do.
Eli hasn't had much for Kenny all year and I doubt that all of a sudden Eli found his missing speed. I watched Southwick and to me Eli is still very much fighting that Kawasaki. He was able to get some decent starts, just like he did at Daytona and the sandy track at Southwick worked to his favor. Just like it did at Daytona.
Each week Eli is getting better, but he is no where near the speed/confidence he had last year and he is still fighting his bike setup at the "normal" motocross races.
I say this as a huge fan of Eli. He's not in Kenny's head right now and doubt there is enough time in the season to get his bike and self dialed to make any kind of run on KR.
how do you dorks come up with this shit?
Kenny has been making Eli look like a B rider all year, Eli gets 2 moto wins and all of a sudden it's over for Kenny? lol
Right now, it won't be hard for Kroc to get 2nds. If Kenny settles in and goes 2-2 every race, he'll still win by almost a full moto. Hell, he could win 3 motos, go 2-2 in the rest and skip the second half of the day in the final round. Barring injury or at least one DNF, this title is pretty much wrapped up.
Still, it ain't over until the ability-to-only-eat-what-you-need-challenged lady sings.

Some of the posts on here crack me up, Eli has been riding good the past two races and looks to be a thorn in Roczens side at the moment, but saying that Eli is in Roczens head is hardly the case.
Tomac made a massive improvement last weekend but will it continue back on the hard stuff?
What happens if Kenny goes back to 1 - 1 next race?
Will we back to "He's needs to get good starts" "it's his shoulders" "Bike set up"?
Just a thought.
And now they go into a race with completely different mindset. Ken has the championship in his hands and have to ride conservative to not do anything stupid and put in jeopardy. Tomac has nothing to loose and can go in full mode. So the way the points are, Ken shouldn't push it. He can and should take a second if Tomac is going at full speed. Tomac on the other hand have just one thing to focus on. Beating Ken in the current moto, so the situation isn't the same. It was some weeks ago and then Ken won, every time..
just because he isnt dominating like the first few races next year ? how about Roczen stepped up his game , as both were much faster as all other riders .... take away Roczen , and it looks a lot different
Southwick is a track much more suited for Tomac as Roczen , Roczen isnt a sand specialist at all
Tomac is super fast in sand tracks
