Eli is good at this track. Is he motivated to come out charging or has he basically written off the rest of the season?

He is capable of winning out I would think. Just don't know if the mindset is there for that to happen.

Crazy thinking he has only won one moto this year so far and not lead many laps at all.

Does Tomac Win Spring Creek?

I think if he's able to get to the finish line before everyone else, he will in fact be awarded the victory

Agree, he needed to go on a tear after Iron Man and it didn't happen.

Title hopes were gone after LL2. Everything is going right for osborne. Unless osborne wads himself, elis not getting it.

He might win who knows. He hasnt had the speed this season for some reason.

He still has a chance at the title if Zach has a really bad moto or two and he can get on a winning streak. It is possible.

How tight would this Championship be if Zacho's bike didn't get fixed in time to qualify at LL2

It's not finished yet. If he doesn't win Millville, it's over.

He does not win Spring Creek. And he does not win the title.
And you cant say this wasn't his year because he just won his first 450sx championship.
He is just taking it easy, has a baby of 5 months or so and life is just good the way it is

In Minnesota they call them Chadapults, in honor of a famous viking warrior or something

Zacho = Management mode.
Ely = Nothing to lose.
AC = Everything to gain
Barcia = Why the hell not
Bagget = El Chupa Cabra lives

Gonna be good!

I would say AC9 most likely for the win. Between him and Tomac.

If AC9 stops the silly crashes (which most riders do at some point) he is going to win a lot.

Yes, no, maybe. That's about the best answer I can give with what has been a very unpredictable outdoor series for Eli. He will either win with dominance or get 7th.

I’m convinced if Tomac doesn’t win, someone else will. If he does win, well then, he most certainly will have won. Stamp it.

Yes. Big cross up. Maybe pop a wheelie for the mechanics.

AC looks the hungrier of the green riders. If a Kawasaki were to win the title this year, I think it would be his.

With where he's at in the title hunt, my guess is his thoughts will be more on January and staying healthy for SX.

Maybe I am wrong but I think he will step up his speed and try to go 1-1.

I hope. I cheer for him every weekend, but he has left me baffled. I expected him to dominate the 2020 outdoors.

Would be interesting to get some insight on what’s his thoughts are on the season, not that he gives away much in interviews

Tomac already has a few National titles on the wall so we all know what he’s capable of outdoors. However it was the SX title that had eluded him. This year I’d say everything he’s done was focused on SX and he finally got there. That title had to be so satisfying and a massive relief.
That’s a far from ideal preparation for outdoors though and it’s showing. But not for one minute do I believe Tomac is happy with not winning. Champions have competitiveness in their DNA.
He may not have quite the same hunger as previous years, but if the track suits him and he’s feeling it, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him destroy the field at any of the remaining rounds.
