Eli still crying over last year. Laughing Laughing Laughing

Someone needs to remind him it wouldn't of mattered since he lost by what 4-5 points? He should quit choking every series and get the job done.

I just dont wanna read about Musquin complaining when it happens to him. If history has taught us anything, there's a good chance Musquin comes out with a white flag on top of his helmet next week.
I hope Tomac puts his ass in the cheap seats next round!!!! Lol

"There's guys you respect out there and there's guys you don't, so that's going to dictate what kind of block passing is going to go on. As a rider, that's always a risky play." - MC

You're right. Eli is already turned and headed in the correct direction on the track. Marvin had no chance of making the turn without Eli's help. It was such a bad move on Marvin's part that Eli damn near t-bones him.

It was a bs move my Marv and he knows it.
You don’t know racing if you think MM couldn’t make the turn. Just look how sharp ET turns, then look at the space left for MM.

Not sure how people are seeing that as a tbone. Marv plowed through his front wheel where a tbone would be if he plowed into tomac more in the center of his bike around the engine area so the bikes would form a "T".

Are you blind? Lol MM was "ahead" of Tomac in that corner because of how much he cut the corner. That pass was very very similar to what Reed did to Bubba in Atlanta in 2011. Tomac just didnt go nearly as wide as Bubba did in ATL in 2011.

I cant find a link to the race

But did 'Eli use the outside line the lap before' as Marvin said? Was Marvin behind him that lap?



Eli was far enough ahead that he could make the turn and be excellerating towards the next straight before Marvin jumped into his front wheel. If eli was taking another outside line Marvin would have just jumped into a line of ruts behind Eli, made no contact and like have gone down....

It was a sad move with a sad excuse and no possible outcome other than either of them ending up on the ground.

Compared to the other examples, they are rarely more than 90 degrees angle cutting off a front wheel so their is no multiplication of the speeds. Marvin to Eli is more like 130 degrees so its closer to a head on than a take out. Shit move

Here's the deal;

none of this matters because neither is in the title hunt, which is a one man show

A T-bone is if your front wheel makes contact first with the other rider

A block pass is when you get enough in front of them that their front tyre makes contact with your bike first.

That's it noting more to it,

Eli is being a wanker, Marvin is a sissy frenchy and Anderson is cruising to win his first title of many.
