No one “deserves” shit! It is earned. Speed, decision making, racecraft, etc. all dictate who will win the title. Not who you think “deserves” it. And on a side note. ET was riding aggressively yes. Uh, he’s racing for a SX title that’s eluded him for years. In the past he’s ridden in twelfth and stayed there after a mistake. Now he's charging because seriously what’s the downside? He pisses someone off? He crashes? It’s not tiddlywinks. If he gets cleaned out by a championship contender next week all’s fair right? It’s been excited at least

The "earned" part is obvious when I said he "deserves" it. Kenny has come back from possible career ending injuries...he sure as hell "earned" it...and a title would be well DESERVED. I'm giving credit where credit is CLEARLY due.

FFS....Do people really have to argue semantics?
It's not semantics dude... you said that Roczen "TRULY deserves" the title. What does that even mean? Because he's had a serious injury he's suddenly owed a championship? He deserves what he accomplishes, same as every other rider.

Tomac destroyed both his shoulders and the only reason he would "deserve" the title is if he has the most points at the end of the season, the same applies to everyone else.

Nope, nope, and nope. Ken’s injuries were brutal, no doubt but does he deserve the title because he came back from that? It’ll definitely add more satisfaction to it, but everyone on the line has had horrible injuries. Deserved because he was the best man this year. That’s it.

Taking someone out who is in your way is always going to be a better look than taking someone out who is passing you. Barcia and Baggett were both in Eli's way. The chances that Eli will be in their way for these revenge moves you all want to see, are slim.

Good grief.... "the Sky is blue".

"...no it's not".

I need to stick to ignoring the people who argue for arguing sake....

I feel like once Barcia and Blake watch the video they would have to settle the fuck down.

It was also said that Tomac went over to the RM KTM truck after the race to apologize to Blake, but he was already gone.

If Blake can’t see that as the accident it was, then he hasn’t changed since he was an amateur.

How many Tomac fan heads are gonna explode when he gets tangled up with Bagget or Barca and it costs him positions. This place will melt down. I
say that as a Tomac fan even.

Live by the sword. Die by the sword.

Furthermore..... as an elite level factory rider and multi time champion.... at That level, it is on YOU, not the guy doing the ramming, if you get cleaned out.. I am a big BB fan...... but you can not win races or championships laying on the ground... if you gotta give up a position to stay upright, give it up, then go get it right back...
So by this logic, anytime a rider behind you has caught you and is looking like they might try a move, you should sit up and let them pass?

Got it.

To add balance, at the first triple crown, first race, Eli started in front of Kenny.
Kenny passed him and disappeared.

It seems Kenny was a little stronger early season & Eli is a little stronger now.

These head games might swing the balance back in Kenny’s favour. We’ll see.

BB4 is about 5'7 and looks like he weighs 155 lbs. Not sure anyone is going to be too worried if they are wearing a helmet and he is swinging. I like BB4, but man he is a little guy.
Another person that thinks size matters. It doesnt. Not the size difference of these guys. 2 inches and 20lbs wont scare a bunch of chicken fighters

I believe if both Kenny and Eli get out front the only people who can beat them really is each other and Webb. What we have seen with Eli this year is an urgency to get to the front which I don’t think Kenny has this year probably due to a few things.
Can’t risk injury
Doesn’t want to mix with people who could take you out

Eli moved from 15th to 4th after a crash and a stall while lapping as fast as Roczen, who had clear air.

He has the speed and motivation.

It might just be Eli who puts Saint Ken down if Championship circumstances warrant.

Well Tomac stomped Roczen at Anaheim 2 and Oakland, so I don't know if that logic holds up. Roczen was better at Glendale but he also got lucky with several red flags ruining Tomac's only good starts of the night.

Since everybody is expecting trouble between Eli & BB4 or Barcia, then obviously something will happen to bring back the bad blood between Webb and Rozcen! That'll be the big talk next week!

I’m curious to see if Tomac having 2 new enemies will make him rise to the occasion of added pressure, or have an off weekend or 2. Hard to say, but he hasn’t always done well with pressure in supercross previous years.

You forgot the weight of a 230lb bike travelling at 25mph into eli while hes in a turn.

We'll see, hopefully he just sees the crash footage and realizes it was just a racing incident, nothing malicious.

Don't know if Baggett really needs to be starting wars with other riders anyway. He needs to focus on himself and getting his season back on track.

After Tomac took out Baggett he gets up and moves to 4th. Baggett then gets up and proceeds to get lapped by Tomac later in the race. I am not sure Baggett has the speed to hang with Tomac to get him back. I did notice Baggett was trying to hang later with Tomac once he was lapped. That didn’t last very long. Baggett is whining about having a piss poor season and wants to blame someone for taking him out. Your not in the championship hunt to be a cunt and ruin someone’s else’s opportunity.

Did you not see baggett try to go for tomac when he was getting lapped at end of race? When Marty and Webb passed and then he saw tomac pass he got right back on gas and aimed right for him. But tomac got round first turn before he could get to him.

Tomac is the Kawhi Leonard of SX. Both are socially awkward, both hate social medias, both are ultra shy, both don't talk to much, both have huge hands and both are amazing athletes.
