Now you did it!

The rabid fans heads just went ****POP*********

I'm honestly hoping for a Tomac DNF tonight. I want to see this come down to a tight 3 way title chase...down to the last turn.

(obligatory, this is not Tomac hate....I just want it all to be exciting to the last drop)

Interesting (& telling) that so many of your scenarios involve a Tomac DNF - all in the name of a tight 3 way title chase.
Except that Tomac isn't really in 1 of the 2 remaining races.

Instead how about Mookie, Osbourne & Plessinger all get great starts & battle the whole way to see who is going to get their first career win and/or podium? And the top 3 all get bad starts, outside the top 10 and we see which one cuts through the pack the best & suffers the least damage to title hopes?

That'd be great racing right? Not the same ole same ole.

And the title chase still goes to the last race for more great racing.

I'll say this first. If/when Tomac wins the title, I'll be happy for him.

For my scenario and hopes...it takes a DNF for him to bring this all down to the wire. I want the points tightened up...that is all.


You bet...I'd love to see a first win for all guys you mentioned...and a few more.

Let's compromise. A Tomac DNF tonight...and bad starts for all three (Tomac/KROC/Webb) in the finale...with a pile up caused by Webb in the first turn...lol. They're all dead last, nobody hurt, no bike damage.... Then it's a mad dash to the front by all three. Championship EARNED.

Now THAT would be EPIC.

Cruising to championship is BORING.

I just don't think you see any drop off in race quality if Tomac clinches tonight. What's better - Tomac cruising to a couple of top 5s to win it, or battling it out tonight & again Sunday for wins?

You know these guys are all about as competitive as can be and the only one that can settle is Tomac. There's money on the line for 2nd/3rd & lots of other positions.

Now drop off in Drama - who's going to win the #1 Plate - yes, I guess there aren't many ways to get the points battle back.

But I would think that any guy, who would say that he personally would never accept a championship as points leader if only 10 of 17 races had been run, based on principle, would not turn around & wish a DNF on another rider - you know, based on principle, right?

Different principles, I suppose.

I'm rooting for Tomac all the way, dude deserves his title.

BUT, if for some reason some odd shit happens and he DNFs, this place is going to ERUPT!

Eli’s belt belt is triple riveted and double sewn, just in case.

You already know my answer to cruising to a top five tonight or battling for it tonight and Sunday.

10 round championship....I still wouldn't accept it...don't care who it was after 10 rounds. Luckily, we don't have to deal with that this year. Thank you FELD!!!!

Two of the top three have had issues this year. Coop was sick and had a DNF, KROC started having health issues in SLC. It's Tomacs turn. I don't want him hurt or to get sick... just something that will tighten it up.

Different principals? Apples to oranges.

Again, I only want to see a fight to the bitter end. ...and yes, I'm pulling for Kenny this year.

If Coop runs Eli wide like last race things could get crazy, but the ET1 shirts are hot off the press !

Too bad ET3 cannot drop down to the 250 class if he clinches. Now that would be good.

Next chance is 2021.

It’s over for Tomac if Roger issues an all KTM/Husky blockade ram fest. Also, Webb is far for mentally strong than Eli. Did you see Zach bump Eli’s rear tire at the podium? Hahaha Gettin in his head.

Are you retarded? If everything you said was true in your last post, how does Eli have the points lead? You realize Tomac can roll around in about 12-15th place and win it. Then everyone can prepare to get their asses kicked outdoors.

I'm not sure what that bump was between Zacho and Eli, but I doubt it was anything more than a "hey Eli pull forward and give me some more room." I didn't see any body language after the bump that suggested there was an issue, and I don't recall any issues when Eli passed Zach.

Zach lived and trained at Tomac's place back in 2015, so I kinda doubt Zach has any real issues with Eli or is trying to get in his head.

Listening to Bowers and all the others who have said how bad its been at altitude, I am amazed at how Kenny has managed to perform these last 2 races.

Nobody is ever going to tell me that hasn't been a huge advantage for Tomac.

It's been a terrific season for just about everyone involved. Eli and Kenny both had their consistent seasons finally (barring the random out of his control illness), coop got to look like a beast, Osborne broke out, Anderson is looking dicier, Malcom got his best results and finished the entire season, AC showed incredible speed, davalos proved he has what it takes, barcia still can have flashes of speed, the list goes on... Overall I can't remember a season with less injuries either. The field stayed pretty stacked all season.

Actually Webb has scored the most points in Utah thus far. But I know, this is a poor Kenny , I don't like Tomac post. Carry on.

So going from getting lapped twice, to taking a win , that's not impressive. ? With Shingles ?

Webb has been great, always had respect for him for the stepping up he did when others couldn't be arsed, and even though he is a God botherer, he is a proper racer , and I like that.


For me Tomac has no redeeming features. I can root for who I like. That's called choice.
