If Zacho is on the podium this is his championship to lose.
1) Eli is going to Eli
2) Marv gets hot mid season every year and then cools down.
3) Kenny has unfortunately hit the wall.
4) Zach has been consistently getting better every week and now he found his sprint speed to start the race. He is a steady performer on a great bike that seems to be sorted well and at his age he knows the window is small. He's only 30 points down and at this point of the season that's nothing. Eli could give that up in one moto (obviously not all 30 pts.) like Red Bud last year.
You heard it here first.

Other than that, I just think it will be more of the same. Tomac will be the best, but there will be flashes of brilliance and speed from Roczen and Marvin. Osborn will get even better and he'll be making Tomac's life hell. He will just be unable to make up the points gap.
Tomac still wins title though because he built up a good points lead early. They also get that Kawi dialed in more and there will be that race or two where Tomac is in the "Tomac zone" and God himself would have to settle for 2nd if he were to line up.
But, Marv DID take the O/A & we’ve got more sand ahead of us.
JA ain’t done figuring things out...either.
Eli AND Kenny have shown CRAZY speed here & there.
Kenny knows he’s got something zapping his energy and he seems to be pursuing an answer.
Eli has a calm-cool collected “Dirty Harry” mind-set that looks convincing.
Cooper has had more than a few moments of brilliance.
Even Barcia has issues that he seems to be working on: is he 100%, yet?
As someone said, BB4 is a head scratcher. But, when he’s “ON”...?
Then there’s guys like Noren, Bloss, Ferris, Bogle, Joey...etc.
They’re up in there at times and a coupl’a of them might end up on the podium and mixing all of this up...hopefully.
I'm glad no one agrees, I know I'm going out on a limb but anyone can predict the odds on favorite. I base my prediction partly on the past two weeks. I was at WW and his late 2nd moto speed was next level. Also seeing his demeanor in the pits and even cruising around on the golf cart with his family Friday night, there was a look of determination and confidence that really struck me.
It's not like I'm completely off the wall thinking he could throw it away.
His starts are also still a big problem and that looks like it will never change with ET. Bad start moto two cost him the Southwick win.
This weekend will tell a lot. If he can extend his points leads then he is in good shape. If he loses 8 points or so to MM and/or ZO (even KR) it will put the pressure on Eli.
Btw, not that it matters since a championship is a championship but had his bike not grenaded on him while he was comfortably leading the 1st moto of Redbud with a couple laps to go(i.e. 25pt swing) he would have wrapped it up earlier

Try using some brains and read what I typed and get off Eli's balls. It's no newsflash that if Eli doesn't feel comfortable he throws out a 9th place finish. I am saying that his past performance along with past bike failures combined with Zach's tenacity and never say die attitude make it a real chance that Zach takes it.
The harsh reality is that Eli lost the points lead after moto 1 at WW and if Kenny was in normal health he would have buried Eli by now.
I'm well aware that if if if if means nothing but if also means there is a void someone like Zach can fill.
If Kenny doesn't make the podium, his title hopes are over.
Marvin is faster than ever.
Webb needs to wake up, after winning the SX title, he knows he is the number 1 guy under the Red Bull KTM tent, but his MX results doesn't prove that.
Anderson has been defending his number 1 status on the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna team against Zacho, but Zacho is faster than him and Anderson knows that if Zacho finishes ahead of him tomorrow, the title and the number one status could be over.
Eli has took a page of Dungey book, so he will make the podium tomorrow, but anything can happen, just look at what happened to him last year.
So yeah, the title could be decided tomorrow.
The insults crack me up. I posted sound reasoning why it could happen and went out on a limb to have an opinion and prediction and have been torn up for it. Bring it bitches.
