At this point I'm guessing Tomac is feeling pretty damn relaxed but his mechanic and engine guy have all the pressure now. The only way he loses this title is a bike malfunction. His bike could get messed up from a 1st turn pile up or crash but he'll do everything he can to stay away from any shit.
I said that a couple of days ago...the mechanics are under unbelievable pressure.

Such an amazing race and season, next one should be good. Eli definitely chose the right time to be a good starter all of a sudden

Longer break due to heat.

That was Millville 2006 and the track was a horrible muddy mess.
He lapped some great mud riders too that day.

Even if that doesn't happen and Eli goes 1-2 today Eli still wins

I’ve already said this earlier, but this point means nothing. If it was a 3 point gap right now, Eli could still cruise in second because if they tie, he holds the tie breaker.

It was Sexton's tip over with two corners to go in that race that is the big difference right now.

I forgot it being a mudder. But I do remember him winning by big margins. Windham was usually the only one in sight.

With Eli gone next year, Jett is gonna dominate this field so easily.
What makes you think he can hang with Sexton?

Agreed. Hes def not beating him first season on a 450.

Chase going to run off in moto 2, but Eli in complete control now... What an amazing race. Chase didn't handle the lappers as well as Eli.

Kind of thought that too… to lay it all out there like chase did and still not get it done has to take even more out of him. Bummer because the kid has absolutely made a legendary showing all summer! Coming from a Tomac fan, when He’s gone I’ll root for chase!

At this point I'm guessing Tomac is feeling pretty damn relaxed but his mechanic and engine guy have all the pressure now. The only way he loses this title is a bike malfunction. His bike could get messed up from a 1st turn pile up or crash but he'll do everything he can to stay away from any shit.
He has to stay on point mentally and get off the gate well and then get comfortably into second. If he starts poorly he'll obviously have to stay totally focused until and assuming he gets to second. Still a lot on the line.

Jett will be an incredible 450 rider I think. But I also think he'll need a year or possibly two...... I could be wrong and he pulls a Dungey. But right now , I'm seeing a level in Sexton , that besides Eli.....there is no proven 450 rider here in the states that will run that kind of pace.

I agree people saying Jett will come straight to the 450 class and dominate are crazy

Just gonna say, Bondo is such a fucking idiot. This was a 45 minute window to make something impressive for the fans. Panel show with experts to talk about the racing, analyze what Chase or Eli can do differently, bench race on live TV. And instead we got 45 minutes of replays. Sometimes the same replay like 3 times. Pretty pathetic.

We've seen the best of Ferrandis. I don't think he will be a factor anymore

100%. I don't see the same flat out speed that Chase has in Jett yet. BUT you could argue Jett is such a smart rider he's only going fast enough to win and I couldn't disagree. His race management is stellar

I agree to an extent, but they also had to throw this together with just a few days notice. It would have been a perfect opportunity to let Steve Matthes add something to the broadcast.

I wouldn't be so quick to count Ferrandis out of the equation. He's pretty crafty and I'm not sure we've seen him pushing to the limit...when healthy.

I reckon Jett will be right there with Chase. Just a guess but he looks capable.
