If I were Tomac I'd forget to turn left off the start. Try to cause a big pile up and hope for a mechanical. That's the only way he has a chance.

Maybe grant will get a good start and torpedo Dungey, which is fair play after Marvin took a dive last night. I would like to see Hill out there, he beat Dungey in at least 2 of the monster cup mains on a 450 several years ago.

The only way Tomac takes the championship, is if Dungey hits the dirt, and that's unlikely to happen.
Dungey can ride a very careful race, and not get into any heated situations, thanks to "Marv's little mistake" points cushion..lol..

Not parking himself won't really make a difference in the championship, parking Dungey might. Worth a shot. Eli should approach Vegas Like a no disqualification match and slip the brass knuckles in the tights. He has the right to now.

Tomac will come out and go for the W, and whatever happens behind him happens. Do you guys honestly expect him to park the Dunge? lol Tomac has proven himself this year. Yeah, he has more than likely failed at the last hurdle but after Texas, he needed to basically win out. Who would have thought he'd get the red plate with 3 to go. Whatever happens in Vegas, Tomac is the man now. Like someone said, it will only fire him up even more for the outdoors.

Not parking himself in Vegas could make all the difference. I disagree Tomac has a right to "park" Dungey. Ryan's not responsible for Eli's bad night. Eli is right about one thing. Things can flip. It's not quite over yet.

Go Dunge!

No but if Grant parked him, he'd get another year on the Kawai

I don't see Tomac trying to control what is out of his control.

Rolling roadblocks won't work for the entire race. ET will concentrate on winning and won't try to punt Dungey for several reasons.
-ET could get hurt and ruin his outdoor hopes
-If they both go down, I'm betting the guy with the estart will get going first. Hint: it's not the Kawi.
-it's not who ET is IMO.

Not gonna happen

1. Tomac wouldn't do it
2. If he did, it wouldn't work

Tomac needs to win and hope Dungey has a first turn wreck that breaks something serious on the bike (gear lever, clutch lever, chain etc)

Harsh but accurate. You could see trouble brewing for Eli in qualifying, he was making mistake after mistake. Dungey hit the nail on the head when he mentioned you couldn't rush the track.

Go Dunge!
Obviously Eli only has himself to blame for the results he had but in a sport where the rules are very grey and open to interpretation Eli very well could use whatever tactic he chooses. KTM opened themselves up to it.

That's because he did it half assed and didn't have much of a reason to justify it. Eli has all the reason in the world.

Do you think if Chad would have or Eli does pull off a blatant torpedo job ala Grant on Mookie that they are going to hand them the title? Eli might give Dunge an elbow or something but I cannot imagine him putting Ryan on the ground.

Dungey has the speed to pull through the pack to a position he needs, it would be pointless for Eli to do anything stupid it wouldn't help the situation only lose him fans.

What is blatant? Eli might just "make a mistake". According to KTM mistakes happen, no big deal.
