Did CS23 clinch the title? Tomac is out, up more than 26 on KR94. That breaks the course in my book!!!!! Hell yeah the Big Red Machine back on top!!!!  Hate that Tomac got hurt, hate they won this way, but Hell yeah a Championship is a Championship! WooHoo!

Technically? No. Realistically? Yes, 100%.

he did clinch. He can sit at home next week and he is still champ. I mean, yes, Eli could come out in a cast and try and ride around, but......

Diffie calling him the champion elect is probably the best way to describe the situation I guess .

Chase knows hes pretty much won. However he didn't look very thrilled the way he essentially won it.

He knows as well as anyone that countless media/fans will add the dreaded * to his championship. 
 

Personally, I hate that sh!t: gotta be in it to win it, and Chase stayed in it.

The key is “as long as Tomac doesn’t race.”

Truly clinching means it doesn’t matter who races, ie a 26+ point lead.

We all know Tomac isn’t racing, but he “could” in theory…therefore Chase doesn’t get the title yet.

According to math, Eli is 7 points back. So math says Eli could still win. Reality says he isn't racing, but math is the reason they couldn't give Chase the plate in Denver.

Exactly. Say another freak accident happens and chase gets hurt this week in practice. Eli could come cruise around with a solid boot on his foot and get 14th and win the title

Chase did not clinch. There is a mathematical chance for Tomac to take 7 more points than Sexton, and thus win the title. It isn't going to happen, but Chase does not have an unassailable lead.
