I have no idea what is going on with him, but while he has the speed to win every time, he doesn't seem to have to drive the other champions of his perceived status had to want to win...almost like a fever. A hate of losing and a fierce will to win, coupled with the rare skills so few have.
You have to have all of those to be one of the greats, and it seems he doesn't have them all right now. Maybe the blow from giving away the SX title the way he did is still affecting him. I don't know. I do know he was very hard to beat in supercross, until he gave it all away in New Jersey. I would think he would be filled with a desire to absolutely crush in the outdoors to make up for losing.
Apparently not. It could just be he's not up to the standard many assumed he was.

Maybe he had a off day and could only go 7-2 against the best there is.
Pit Row
Elite level athletes all have good genetics, not all have the mental strength and resilience to be champions. Mental toughness is not always passed down to the next generation.
Also, there's the mental side. I always refer back to one of Al Pacino's lines in Devil's Advocate: "Pressure. Some people you squeeze them and it makes them focus. Others, squeeze them and they fall apart."
Sorry, I'm a Tomac fan and completely frustrated right now.
never realized RandyS was a Tomac hater until about a month ago. Tomac may have choked and lost 3 titles (2013 W SX, 2015 MX, and 2017 SX), but he is human.
Freakin Dungey choked and lost a couple too. Shoot, he almost lost his first regional SX title (he can thank Canard for holding off Weimer) and he probably loses to Pourcel in 2009 MX if the Frenchy doesnt have bike issues.
Im about done with Vital, most of you guys are Monday QB a holes. This sport is very mental, it always has been. Why has Bagget struggled so much since winning his first outdoor title. Shoot if Roczen comes back doesnt set the world on fire he will probably start to doubt himself a little too. It is what it is. It gets to these guys, until you guys can do better just shut up and enjoy the racing these kids and young adults are human. At least they get to make a living or some decent money out of something they enjoy.
I dont know if Tomac had some kind of issue, but he rode better this week than last. Im hoping that he just didnt get much testing done for MX and gets a chance to do that the next couple weeks and comes out swinging at Mt. Morris.
