I oftentimes wonder how someone can think of something so stupid. Honestly, how does something this stupid even cross your mind? How are you sitting here today and you think “gee golly, I bet Eli looked good tonight because he watched the James Stewart documentary!”

I just...... I don’t know.

He’s literally tied in points with Musquin. If Webb has a bad night Eli could absolutely win. Especially with the way Musquin has been making mistakes.
He can beat Musquin for the title no problem.. are you watching the series ???
Webb is the problem but if he crashes out or has a mechanical then it’s game on for ET3

You’re entitled to have your own opinion, just not when it’s this stupid. By that logic, there is a path for me to win the 450SX title too (I’m a shitty Vet B racer, btw). I’d just need a whole bunch of guys to do a whole bunch of other things to clear the way and WHAMMY, I’m a contender!

Yeah I’m watching the series. I didn’t say anything that’s incorrect. What here is incorrect?

Marvin and Eli are tied in points for second.

Musquin has been crashing a lot lately and making big mistakes.

Will Eli win? Probably not unless Webb has a horrible night or DNF.

I’m sure you watch the series so I’m not going to ask you such a stupid question. I will however question your reading comprehension.

Apparently the 19 model has too much smoke in it, every time some of it leaked out the thing got faster!

What was up with his bike though? Blew in the heat, smoked like hell in the lcq and the main?. Sorry if I've missed it but haven't seen any talk about what was up with his bike last night?.
Thats what i am saying. 3 races with issues. I figured when he crossed the finish line with one second on clock it would blow the last lap. They said crank breather hose clamp after lcq. Yeah right.

Glad he won BUT why did he not punt Webb off track when passing THAT was an opportunity to potentially make up some points. If it was the other way round I bet Webb would have taken him out

Roczen was the fastest and the smoothest in the whoops all day. He was amazing to watch. The wheels were moving but the chassis and his body were level and still. Looked like he was on level ground.

Marv and Ken had issues and Eli capitalized on the situation and took the win. Good job Eli.

Marv and Kenny both clearly have the speed to beat Webb. Baggett as well. If the red plate is starting to get heavy and if Eli can somehow win the next 2, the point battle may be a bit closer going to Vegas than some seem to think. Down the stretch i dont expect Marv to show Webb the same treatment he did with Dungey so we will see.

Marv really screwed the pooch tonight, think of all the points he could've made up winning if he would've had Ken, Eli, Bagget and possibly Savatgey between him and Coop.

It really just shows how much it is Cooper’s year.

How does this guy get landed on by Alessi and walk away? Almost involved with Reed the other week... so many close calls. Bumpin with Marv... just crazy to watch.

He’s been great in the whoops since 2014.

That was the Eli we saw in Detroit. Will he show up two weeks in a row is the question. Yes, MM and KR were fast but Eli was 13th or so on the start and came through the pack. Very impressive.

On the negative, he gets 5th on the start in the LCQ? How is that even possible? He was the only factory guy out there. And the bike breaks again! Wow. He surely has the justification to leave Kawi next year.

I hope we see this ET the next three races though. So fun to watch.

Give the guy a big track with bowl turns and he will do this plenty but the tracks this year have mostly been one lined arenacross styled tracks IMO!! Wveykne has to race the same track no doubt but come outdoors you will see this on repeat!!

To me it looked like he played it safe let the race settle in a bit the lcq gets a little wild in the first couple of turns hell he won big if he went down in a first turn pile up not so much

The last thing you want to do from outside gate in lcq, when you are 1.5-3sec faster per lap then everyone else, is get into a first turn pile up with some adrenaline-high privateer.
Smart move by Eli.

Webb is one DNF away from handing it over to Eli. Don't think it can happen? Look at Forkner as a prime example. And be had an even bigger lead. It's not over until Webb crosses the checkers at Vegas. It's very much still up in the air.

Hell yeah that was a thing of beauty. NOBODY can grease a berm with feet on the pegs like Tomac, and no one is on Tomac's level when Tomac is "on". If only they could figure out how to keep Tomac "on" every race...

If Roczen hadn't crashed (no fault of his own), last night would have been one hell of a race. Roczen was so much better through the whoops than everyone else it was unreal. Tomac was clearly going ultra fast and it would have boiled down to those two. They would have gapped the field and it would have been close. Damn what a shame about Roczen. That was the best he's looked all year and even an "on" Tomac might not have beaten him.

One thing for sure - the title is out of Eli's and Marv's hands. It's Coops to lose. Will Black Diesel Bombers prophecy to "bunch them up" in Vegas repeat itself?
