Tomac is flat, rides with out passion and drive, even Ray Charles can see it. I mean seriously, in what world is Noreen able to go Tomacs pace?
Call it burnout, over trained or what ever, he has lost his drive for that speed at this time.
We are 4 rounds and look at the point gaps...That's not fun when it comes to a championship. I know anything can happen. But Zacho has this
1 16 Zachary Osborne - 172
2 25 Marvin Musquin - 146
3 51 Justin Barcia - 133
4 1 Eli Tomac - 129
5 9 Adam Cianciarulo - 125
6 23 Chase Sexton - 116
Pit Row
Here are his results from the first 4 weeks. and points deficits. of the last 4 years, he lost the title once and was down less points than he is now, and had 8 more rounds, not 5.

I'm a Tomac fan-boy, I'll admit that, but its going to be nearly impossible for Tomac to take this one.
How about, the season has been super weird and long? Tomac finally got that supercross championship. He already DNF’ed twice in a short season and might feel like trying to hunt down the title is pointless. And oh yeah, how could you all forget, he has a freaking 3 month old child at home. Maybe he isn’t sleeping as well as he usually does?!?!?! Just speculation, but how it doesn’t cross your minds, I don’t know. You recall RC said that in ‘07 he was getting little sleep due to a newborn baby but he just kept his training program up, and he was absolutely wasted from it. Might be the same for Tomac.
Im not a Tomac fan, i like finess on the bike and he has none of that, but he just seems to be in a large hole now. Dont know if it is mentally och something else but i would be suprised if he dont wins a moto with 30+ seconds before the season is over.
And why would he ride around ”saving” him self when he rode his brains out the last SX rounds just because he could, not because he had to..
2) ET having three titles in a row is amazing. No one else has ever done 4x except RC4.
3) He could of not been feeling well Friday, hurt a little etc. Who knows. Would be cool if he said something but he never will. When have you ever heard the guy say he was sore after a race...he did last Monday.
4) He was right there with half a lap to go in moto 2. But there was no charge to finish it. Points to not having the strength or energy to try it. When you are in great condition you feel like you can go as fast as you want to or have to. That extra ET push at the end was not there.
We have seen him 'motor around' for half the moto even last year...he just did that the whole moto Friday. Even his 'off day' speed almost had him there though.
Can't have bad starts like he does and he went backwards on the first lap again. That tells you it is not his day when he does that.
5) If you have not had a new baby in the house you have no idea what it can be like. This could be much more of a factor than many think.
Maybe taking the risk of 'beast mode' is not something he is willing do this summer.
If Eli isn’t feeling it, he shuts it down probably why he hasn’t been hurt since 2015.
If he had decent starts he would of been battling for the lead in both motos.
And he was still going fast though.
