Kenny is in the championship mix. What if Eli goes down with an injury(not injury prone, I know) or a mechanical? He should take it easy for the next two weeks and come back for Millville. If he still feels subpar at Millville call it a season and focus on rest.

I remember Geboers had some difficulty in the late August Glen Helen heat in 1990. According to this, "in the beginning of my career, I was always pushing so hard that I used to throw up in my helmet all the time."

Hope Kenny gets it sorted out and gets back to top form.

Jacksonville beat him and others like a red headed step child. He will get over it.

Yes and he was beating it.....until Jacksonville beat him!

One reason I love mx is it's not over until it's over.
Either way, thanks to Kenny for keeping it interesting.

25 X 4 = 100
Eli = pressure.
Ken = no pressure.

If tomac falls over and takes his usual 5 laps to get back on the bike WITH his pants on, it could get interesting.

Ken should probably take a year off for some R&R starting right now.

Ken has done great this year, the guy just never gives up.

Tomac's got this one though.

Bobby, you have to go easy on these millennials with no stripe. They don't take kindly to blunt realistic comments.

If the Kenny of this last week shows up every week, 2020 is going to be a bad year for his competitors. He blew their doors off.

Would like to see Eli wrap up the championship in moto one at Ironman...then crack the throttle WO in moto two as if his life depended on it. And I hope it's not another mudder.

I cant see Eli losing this championship but IF Eli has a very bad day (for arguments sake I mean DNF or way back in the pack) this weekend then the last round will be epic!

The dude is lethal AF when he's clicking and before he starts getting tired. He's the best at making passes that I have ever seen. His riding skills are incredible. The ONLY thing he lacks is endurance. At Southwick he would have decimated the field if he could have kept a pace that was even close to the pace of his first 4-5 laps. Same at Washougal.
He said he didn't do much training at all and took it easy leading up to unadilla and we all saw what he did there. I think just needs some recovery time. Or...he's over training and just needs to dial it back. Speed-wise, I think we've seen the 2016 Roczen surface this year, but without the endurance needed for full motos. I'm thinking next year he could be a nightmare. I say that and I'm not even a Roczen fan. Not a Roczen hater either.

Here's a blunt and realistic comment for you:

Tomac is going to win his third outdoor championship in a row, something only Carmichael himself has done in the modern era.

Ok, then there's no point in even watching. Or letting Bobby ruffle your feathers.
