Tomac turned it around after the restart. It looked to me like he was holding those guys up after the first start.

Grats to Tomac, what an animal to hold Chase off. Seems like he always has something left in his tank.

Yeah, I am sure it's the bikes fault now that HE is not getting it done, just like the Honda he was on that Chase is doing so poorly on......oh wait.

Impressive debut for Justin Cooper

Chase was disappointed during his podium interview.  He just has to realize that he is more of a threat to Eli taking a second on a night like tonight.  Chase will get more wins, if he can limit the damage when he doesn’t win I think that should worry Eli.

You know since they make a big deal out of supermotocross, they'd let you know that after the second round Eli passed Jeremy McGrath for 3rd in all time combined Supercross and Motocross wins.

RC-150 (SX48, MX125 26, MX450 76 )

James-98 (SX50, MX125 28, MX450 20)

ELI-91 (SX47, MX250 12, MX450 32)

MC-89 (SX72, MX125 2, MX250 15)

That's a huge accomplishment

Maybe he doesn’t fully trust the bike?

You do realise that Chase was not happy with last year’s Honda during SX and said so publicly right?

Except Chase was the fastest guy all night, even through a portion of the race. Then Eli dropped the hammer when it counted.

I do and they worked on it clearly, fixed it for outdoors and now here we are....after Colt Nichols came in and actually provided some value and not complaining and ego getting in the way of coming up with solutions.  The rider plays a massive part in that process.

True and it probably stings a little for Chase, but it is what it is.  The bright side is he didn’t crash, got a second and is still right there in the championship.  Tomac is elite and no shame in being a few seconds behind at the end.  What Chase can’t do is panic next week and make bone head mistake.

Oh it's coming. I just want to hear what he pulls out of his bag of excuses this time. That well has gotta be close to being dry.

Eli didn’t drop any hammer, he was just relentless, and broke Chase’s will. Chase ran him down, but Tomac was not interested.

The perfect main for Tomac even with the red flag

Get the holeshot and hold the lead for the first few laps with guys looking faster behind you>everyone bunched up>Sexton right behind you>Tomac and Sexton pulling away>Tomac gets stronger as laps go by>pull a lead>cruise to a win.

I thought Canard was the HRC test rider? Or did him and Honda decide to go separate ways?

What a night.

All the BS about Tomac getting slaughtered in the heat by the announcers...   Eli knew what he was doing.

Statement ride Eli!         He was near flawless in the sand.....Chase got worked by the sand.     Wish they would do sand all the time/every race.  It makes things WAY more interesting.

 

Justin Cooper...what can you say....THAT was a killer debut.  So jazzed for the kid. 

Big Webb fan here....but he had nothing tonight.

Did Barcia eat it in the whoops....I saw a red bike go down in the background of one of the shots....soon after, Webb was in front of him.       Barcia looked pretty good tonight. 

Last of all...I hope Dylan will be okay....that is just terrifying to see.

I am with you here and love all the downvotes.  How can guys here not see what happened the past three years??  It's happening again, yet we are the bad guys by simply telling the truth and not living in some fantasy land thinking Roczen can get out of his own head.  The same guy that beat Tomac heads up in Paris on a privateer Honda just rode around in 8th and got beat by a 450 rookie in his first race more than 30 seconds off the pace.

A night like tonight seemed like one of the nights that Sexton needed to beat him if he wants to win the title. Sexton was faster all day.

Kinda what I was thinking. He doesn't want to wick it up, but if push comes to shove he will. I really hope we get another season out of him. Especially since he seems to be happy and at ease now after leaving Kawasaki.
