1/2 way through the Moto he was battling Barcia. He's now almost 40 seconds ahead of Barcia......and Barcia is riding good!

Is he just that much more fit? That much more talented? Kawi that good? I suppose If they could figure it out they’d be competing with him.

Not sure I've seen anyone manhandle a 450 like Tomac. Throwing it around like a 125

I'm wondering how many of those Herlings fans think that Tomac can't hang. I bet you if they were racing against each other, week in and week out, Tomac would have an answer.

I think tomac is a good bit better than Marv most days. Roczen isn’t on tomac’s fitness level yet, similar to tomac in 2016.

How does that happen, I’ll destroy everyone with my pants falling, and I’ll Barcia twice like he is in a different class.

Wow, not a fanboy but you have to bow to greatness.

Cool hearing the crowd cheer for Roczen and Tomac. Can’t let one finger spoil the scene.

It's a thing of beauty watching Eli when he goes full beast mode. He literally can pull out a 3 - 4 second a lap faster than anyone else on the track. It's incredible to watch. Very thin line between master piece and a disaster. Hope he keeps it up!

Funny how people act surprised at this. He’s always been this fast ever since he was on the Geico 450. Hurt his shoulder bad at Lakewood, then had that front wheel problem at Dallas against Dungey. Dudes been by far the fastest for the last several years

Super impressed with Kenny too! Dude is getting faster and more fit. He's so damn smooth and talented on that bike. Fun to watch.

Eli just broke Marvin today. You can sense it in Marvin's podium interview. He wouldn't even mention Tomac once.

No I didn't get to make it this year. Worked a half day and came home to watch with the AC on. Haven't seen or heard from Finch in quite some time. Is he even on here?

I'd really like to see Tomac and Roczen square off with both guys at 100% for the whole outdoor season. We haven't seen that since 2013! Tomac was hurt to start 2014, Roczen had his back trouble and Eli crashed out in 2015, then in 2016 Eli was still rebuilding, 2017 Roczen was not there and 2018 Roczen is rebuilding.

I personally think both would push each other to self destruct. Too much pride for both but it would be incredible to watch. I think it would be alot like RV and townley in the pc days

Been off for almost two months. I got on a little burn out phase. I am planning on riding again here in a couple weeks though. I'll try and finish out the year until the weather get's bad again.
