No, I wouldn’t say Tomac was really pushing that hard. He is good in the mud but played it safer as he didn’t need to win. He only caught Kenny because Kenny had issues.

RC keeps repeating he raced against a few former champions, not over a dozen. Ricky was not a standout mud rider irrespective of the race you alluded to. Also not a current pro.

Nah he’s just opportunistic.. Tomac had more in the tank if he needed it but he was ahead of who he needed to be, no need to risk it, his leg wasn’t holding him back..

So any win for Tomac is a win and any win for Barcia is not a win because Tomac doesn't need to beat him. It's only a win for someone if he needs to beat them. Got it!

Yeah, from 2002 to 2005 his outdoor moto record is something like 87-9.  And 7 of those non moto wins were in 2003...  Also 7 of the non moto wins are 2nds as I recall.

No other champs, because he refused to let there be other champs.

There where other champs being crowned every year that he raced.

He claims the talent pool was not near as deep but you are smug about that statement not being so.

Tomac is great in the mud. I would say Barcia and Tomac are equally the best right now. Eli has the edge because he wins way more than Barcia. Just because Barcia beat him Saturday does not mean he is better. That was one race and they are in way different scenarios at the moment.

Other champs, yes...  In his class, no.
