Yeah, I think the pundits that are sure he's done after next year are going to be disappointed. His dad had huge longevity in his sport and is his driving influence. I don't see anyone on the immediate horizon that will knock him off his perch either.

I think Barcia is Barcia’s problem. And this is coming from a Barcia fan.

I said this elsewhere, but in the podcast Matthes did with Reed (released Saturday) Chad is pretty blunt about the problems at factory Yamaha. Everyone wants to blame the bike but maybe the staff need a refresh.

It is not a smart (or right) move that Barcia thanks 'everyone' except Yamaha, the team that gave him a chance when no one else was. I am sure he has been paid well too. Burning bridges is not the way to go. Not thanking your main sponsor when you thank everyone else is not smart or right. The rest of the players in the moto world take note. You thank all your sponsors even if they move on from you. Also, his post-race tirade at Tomac a while back is not something a factory team wants to be associated...

Hate to say it but Coop cracked today.

That’s awesome!! Thanks for grabbing that shot GuyB!

It would be sad to lose the title when you have been on the podium 12 times in 15 races.

The dude needs 4 points, right? Just sit at the doghouse until the carnage in the first turn ceases, then go pass 5-10 riders while waving at the fans over the big jumps every lap.

Once you get used to taking your streetbike anywhere you want in total comfort, as opposed to putting back and forth to the bar with your feet sticking way out in front of you , I bet the Hardley will be for sale. ADV bikes are great, even if you never go off road. They have realistic ergo's. I have been on them for over ten years. I did miss the raw powe from my sportbike days so I got this three years ago....love it

Webb finished 12th (as many have pointed out before). He did not DNF.

Gate drops, Eli sits at the gate for 3 or 4 seconds to avoid the crowd, catch and pass the last few riders in the pack and then cruise around.

Tomac only needs 4 points, He will get them and there is no guarantee Web will win , if Web doesn't win Tomac will only need 1 point, basically if Tomac makes the Main He will win it.

It is a 22 point deficit with Eli owning the tiebreaker. There are no team tactics that can overcome that, unless it is literally: "Sweep the leg".

I think that one was planned. He's leaving his competitors thinking he's still going for the holey but in reality, he's chilling.

Yup. 25 point lead. Was avoiding any chance of getting tangled up. He was clearly towards front-mid pack when he backed down before corner one.

I would think he tried to get the jump but once he realized he wasnt getting the holeshot he just backed it down knowing he can cut through the pack
