No it's not acceptable. Eli didn't cause the coronavirus. Theres nothing anyone involved in SX can do about this. That includes riders, team members, feld, etc. Its out of their hands.

Did Eli Tomac win the championship with that Daytona charge? Did Roczen lose it with that tip over? Becoming a possibility.

I don’t know how any of you could believe that, if the series ends as of Daytona, that an * is not acceptable/ required next to Eli’s name.

SX is about the long game, and strategy. Half of you say shit like “it doesn’t matter if someone’s fast, they have to be in it to win it”.

Cutting the series off that early is changing the whole dynamic of the series.

It’s like you have a 1/4 mile drag car, that isn’t fast off the line but always wins at the checkers. He shows up, and it’s determined that they are only racing 1/8 mile. He loses. Should the winner be called the 1/4 mile champ still? 1/4 mile champ with a * ? Or do you just call them a 1/8 mile champ.

Don’t put a * next to it, but then it should be called the “2020 partial SX season”.

I bet most of you who don’t agree with the * , would feel much differently if it was James Stewart in Eli’s position... change my mind.

So your advocating for an asterisk in the record books, diminish a Championship for a rider that had nothing to do with the reason for the short season? Do you have an argument for a better solution?

Been plenty of shortened seasons/games in sports for one reason or another. If it was all about the "long game" then there'd be no sudden death overtime's or shootouts to determine a winners in sports. Or is SX somehow different? Somebody has to win and the best guy or team up until an unforeseen event occurs should get the win or title, no?

Every title since JS retried has an acceptable asterisk given they didn't beat JS 'straigth up'.
