You must have an incredible amount of free time if you're fact checking me on MY column. And you're wrong, by the way. Per the Vault, here's Eli's 450 class starts: SX- 21, 20, 4, 5, 22, 3, 7.
MX- 3, 3, 1, 1, 2, 3.... some of these seasons, 2016 for example, he didn't win an overall until the halfway point in the series.
My point was that he doesn't push until he's comfortable, which makes sense. He's had real issues getting his Kawasaki to turn while getting the fork to hold up the way he wants. It's been a point of contention over there and it likely has a lot to do with his leaving for Yamaha next season. I stand by what I said.
