If you said before the moto:
RJ passing his way up to 3rd.

Or Fineis holding off Tomac for 8th.

You’d get laughed out of the building, yet here we are.

I love Tomac but his winning days are done. I’m glad we get to see him out there still but people need to come to terms with him no longer being a dominating force. He might get a win or two here or there but I’m finding that to be very unlikely

At first i thought Jett bumped him but on replay looks like he collected Prado on his own and went down

Prado had a wheel on him and if deegs couldn't hold the same line he should have gotten out of the throttle. Prado isn't obligated to leave room for guys behind him lol..... 

But Deegan is obligated to let up so the outside guy can come down on you? LOL WUT!

I'm not really loving JT's evaluation of Tomac considering a retired dude is running top 5...

Yeah my thoughts exactly.  In what world do we see Eli not being able to pass mark fineis. No matter the situation

Just noticing how busy/nervous Toendel's bike looks and how smooth Fineis looked.

He is not going to win another moto with these young bucks out there. It is ok, everyone gets older.

Tomac just came back from injury, bad injury, most likely still injured. Amazing that people forget that. How many riders would’ve just sat out the rest of the Nats.

Deegan needs to make up 20 seconds to top 5.  Doesn’t seem impossible.

I’m still convinced Prado is a quitter, how tf are you in the same incident as Deegan and the 38 actually hits the ground then remounts and puts 20 seconds on you

He has serious mental issues, unless he's up front he's not trying at all

Cairoli might end up racing the rest of the summer with the way it's going. More or less said yesterday he'd like to do buds at least.
