Barcia scared him. Watch Eli's arm drop when Barcia was still a foot away. He was completely caught off guard and his reaction threw him all out of whack.
Eli's arm dropped because he knifed the front end and was in the process of crashing even before Barcia got there. Barcia "scared" Tomac...yeah right. These guys are supposed to be professional racers. I'm an amateur and I've yet to be scared on the track when the top pros come out of nowhere going twice as fast as me!

The two moves are identical. Just Seely saw it coming and checked up. Marv didn't.
If Marv should be pissed at Ando, then Seely has the right to be pissed at Marv too.
Completely right on the two situations.

Any of this remind you of Vegas finale last season. What's the saying, you can dish it out, but you can't take it?

I see it differently. Maybe scared is the wrong word. Barcia surprised him and his arm dropping is an instinctive movement to brace for impact. That caused his front end to knife, balance then got upset, and his feet come off. I'm "technically" a pro and I've definitely been surprised by someone coming up the inside and 100% of the time that happens, my body reacts before my brain.

I truly don't think Eli expected to be shown a wheel and then some. My theory is that guys like Eli and Marv are so used to RV, KR, or RD passing them because they are straight up faster (on most nights). The tactic of driving deep into the center (or further) of a turn, which is used by Barcia and JA, are surprising to them. They just haven't seen that type of aggression since they have been ahead of JA and Barcia so much in the past.

Someone needs to send/show this to Tomac so that he can stop bitching about the pass.

According to him there was contact made. This clearly shows the opposite.
Watch it again and pause it 0:04.You can see Barcia sliding and hitting Tomac's foot .

He was going backwards, that's what happens when you aren't on the pace, Grant had to fight to pass him, Barcia's pass was what you would expect from a guy trying to move forward, it was a good pass, he lost no time, Tomac fell over. The contact was minimal at best (and in terms of a Barcia pass it was squeaky clean) .

Marv has a lot more to be pissed about.

That was a beautiful pass. Incidental contact.

Tomac was off balance before Barcia was even there. Barcia came in fast to make a nice pass. In the process Tomacs elbow made contact. No big deal, tomac made a mistake and Barcia capitalized.

Tomac loses a lot of fans and a lot of respect every week it seems.

Tomac was still squirly before Barcia even hit the apex.

Wasn't much of a takeout if you ask me.

Tomac faked the fall so he could have an excuse for doing poorly.

A few weeks ago savatgy fell, got up and launched an immediate triple on his 250. Finish line on a 450 is no excuse.

So barcia faked him out and maybe made the smallest amount of contact in the history of SX. He didn't get cleaned out. It was like a bluff on barcia's part and tomac "fell" for it.Whistling I still dont know why this is a big deal. That tomac interview just made it more difficult to pull for tomac at all..

I’ve never been a fan on Barcia, however that was a text book pass right there. I am a fan of Eli and he needs to quit being a puss and harden the eff up... learn to pick your bike up with urgency after you wreck and pas him back or shut your mouth.

He WAS taken out. By himself, in round 1 when he made yet ANOTHER mental mistake and tossed a race/season in the toilet.

The two moves are identical. Just Seely saw it coming and checked up. Marv didn't.
If Marv should be pissed at Ando, then Seely has the right to be pissed at Marv too.
Cept that marv is pointing 2 blocks down, similar but not the same. And no one but no one on this board including all the "tough guys" would be happy to get taken out there...same as no one but no one knows how it went down but JB and ET. And yet this board is famous for complaining that the riders "tow the line" to much when speaking.......have cake and eat it to, to much?

Bet that Tomac still beats Barcia in the points once Vegas has concluded?
Bet that Tomac finishes ahead of Barcia tonight?

It looks like he was expecting to get nailed and didn't get hit nearly as hard as he thought he would. Look at his foot (this is before any contact) ib
