Huge hands and shy.....sounds romantic. Since we heard about Eli soon becoming a father.... How far along are you? Hoping for a boy or a girl? When is the wedding?

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.
I think last weekend had to make Tomac angry which could be bad for everyone. Kenny’s racecraft is hard to beat. This season has been great. Never know what’s going to happen next.

One thing that has become clear to me is that Tomac has his mind set to win the championship no matter what he has to do, and even if it means very aggressive riding and taking out people along the way. He doesn't seem to mind if he wont be remembered for being a clean rider by some of us.

After taking away Roczen's line right before the triple to try and cause him to not make the full triple (I watched over and over from different shots and it is pretty clear he was taking Roczen's line away), then this incident with Barcia after Barcia passed him cleanly (yeah, yeah, we all know Barcia was known for slamming people in the past and even he called himself an idiot for riding that way in the past), but Tomac's pass back on Barcia was not so clean IMHO and then a few turns later he takes out Bagget. I think it is hard to argue that all these one after another are unintentional racing incidents. I used to be a Tomac fan, but now I consider him a bit of a dirty rider and one that is only in it for the money, not the fans or reputation.. That started becoming clear to me when he started blowing off the MXdN's. No money to be made there and who cares about the fans. As far as I am concerned, he will never be a GOAT like Carmichael who did the MXdN's and always put out his best. Carmichael was aggressive, but I never saw him try to take away his competitor's line just before a triple or slam different top riders in different corners in the same lap.

I sincerely hope (and expect) Tomac to absolutely wax everyone this weekend. Cherry on top if he remembers how to start and manages a holeshot. The way he's been riding this year, I see no reason why this won't be the case. Unless Elito rears his ugly head.

Realistically I'm bias toward Tomac over Roczen (am a huge fan of both) but I firmly believe he is (and is proving to be) the alpha dog in this championship. Bit hard for these boys to try and "even the score" with him when he's 15 seconds up the road, on the back wheel through the rollers en route to getting a sun burnt neck as James says.

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.
I thought he was just showing him a wheel to say hey i could've cleaned your block off but didn't.

Hey look, a Vitard that is more upset about Tomac's pass on Roczen than Roczen was! Go watch the post-race press conference, this is a non-story.

And while you're reviewing the footage over and over again, maybe you should look at a picture of the triple face. All the ruts were angled heavily to the left because that was the natural racing line leading into the next corner. Roczen understands this, which is why he congratulated Eli on a clean race after the fact. Apparently his fanboys aren't so understanding.

Ricky is the GOAT because of his record number of wins and championships. How old are you? I don’t mean to be condescending but Ricky was hated by most for a couple of years in his prime. He’d get boo’d at opening ceremonies as the reigning champion on Honda.

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.
Logic doesn’t come in to it- it’s fact.
FACT- Eli has caught, passed and left Ken at some point this year.

It’s not up for argument- it happened.

Now when it comes to luck- yes Ken got lucky with the red flag at Glendale.
Eli got lucky twice this year with riders falling on the last lap or second to last lap.

Roczen strength is sprints at the start, he should really beat tomac at all the triple crowns

Actually Tomac crossed from one line to another to block Roczen - eg went at a bigger angle than the ruts.

Seemed to me like bagget but a nice face on for the camera. If he’s near tomac I expect him to make it very hard on him.

After previous comments were made here or on another thread about how unhinged Baggett is when he's involved in an on-track altercation...he seems pretty calm, cool, collected, and mature here.

This post made me look at this again. IMO - ET did not attempt to T bone or hit BB in anyway like Moosecan did. In fact all other riders railed the berm but BB did an almost square pivot and ET and BB racing lines came together. Unfortunate for both and appears non intentional by either rider.

BamBam - Took ET high on a corner and made the pass by making contact then got the same handed back the next corner - BamBam went insane - He clearly wanted to T bone Tomac in the sand but he was too slow. ET had to get away from that action and unfortunately that ended in a coming together with BB.

If ET truly wanted to park BB he would have ... taken him high .. which never happened the incident happened when BB was going extra square in the corner and while going low ! If BB railed the berm like the other 3 riders before him ( JA did cut lower as well trying to overtake) then ET and BB would never have made contact. So who you going to blame ET or BB ? IMO unfortunate racing indecent for both neither indented a parking ticket. BamBam he was so trying to park ET that was plain to see.

This was exactly like the Dungey - Stewart crash. Racing incidents happen all the time. Bowl turns invite these type of incidents.
