This isn't over yet. Webb is there to fight until the end, maybe even push Eli into a costly mistake in the next races

Championship ride by Tomac.
It was a good recovery from a crummy start. A bit of an off night going by qualifying times and his heat race but he still ended up with a bigger points gap over the second place guy.

Ken's bike looks like way more work to ride fast than Webbs*.

Since when did it become popular to hate on Kenny? You have to be kidding me. Looking forward to seeing him show everyone up outdoors! So what he’s having a couple bad races? He’s still doing well. The guy is 25, Eli is 27, Eli can have this one, Kenny has plenty of time.
Who hating on K-roc? He’s my favorite out there, it just sucks that his body isn’t keeping up with him. He’s been my title pic all year.

After seeing this I have no doubts. Roczen will sit out the outdoors.
Kenny said he only has a few more years left. Can’t see him wanting to sit them out.

Tomac only needs 6th place in each of the last 3 races. Even if he gets those and Webb wins out, he'd still win the tie breaker.

Or 2 8th or better finishes and then he could sit out the final round...…….

As you mention, he has a few years left. He already has two MX championships. His focus is on SX. If he wants a shot, he has to recover from this mysterious illness, asthma, whatever he says he has. And if that means sitting out the nationals, one have to wonder if this line of thought has crossed his mind.

Personally I want to see him outdoors, he is amazing at it.

It does but maybe Webb is a lot more efficient with his movements and knows how to work the bike too.

But yea KTMs seem like the bikes to be on. I can’t remember who but on some podcast one of the test riders was saying that the stock KTM was better on a Supercross track then his factory bike from the year or two before.

Webb is the one guy who would land tomac on his arse to close the gap. Can see Eli strolling in behind him pretty often from now on

Look... I’m a fan of Roczen. But why is it every week he has a new excuse for his fade after the halfway point? Last week it was a wrong tire choice, the race before it was an asthma issue. This week was a “viral flair up”.

It looks like the same thing that was happening to him last year. He looked gassed in the podium, no doubt he was having a physical issue. Maybe he doesn’t know but it’s been going on for a year you would think they would have to know at this point.

Yeah, my math didn’t include Roczen. I’m a Roczen fan, but I can’t see him being able to hold off Webb in the overall points right now.

He could only lose one point and sit out the final round so a couple of eighths won't cut it.

and at the beginning of 2020 SX season they announced he had epstein-barr virus took them almost a year to get that sorted out...very slow for a pro racing factory team

Haha I figured something went sideways there since it contradicted the first part of your post.

Kenny won’t sit out the outdoors. I just don’t think he has quit in his vocabulary. Zacho might be interesting for outdoors though. I feel like he is building to peak this summer

I just watched it again because I'm a nerd, and someone needs to tell Ralph that winning once on a Wednesday doesn't make it a pattern. Lol. He was like, Webb is amazing on Wednesdays! I mean, yes he won, but c'mon. He ended it by saying Cooper was the Wednesday wonder. 🙄

As much as it loathes me to defend Ralph, technically Webb has won every Wednesday 450 SX main in history. i.e. 2/2

Uh, hate to break it to you but even if Webb wins out and Eli finishes the season with back to back to back 6th place finishes(his worst finish all season is 4th) Eli still takes home the hardware.

i.e. Outside of a DNF/DNS scenario, IT’S OVER
