In my eyes, this is THE question after this night of racing.
Tomac's out, Musquin's out. The path to this title is open for Jason. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of racing left, I know that. But Jason has the advantage right now, so the big question is, can he keep it on his side ?
What he needs to do now is get away. Gain as many points as possible before Roczen can go 20 min + 1 lap full speed (if he can do that again btw) and before Marvin and / or Eli makes a big come back.
Will he be mentally strong enough to hold that new color on his front plate ?
We'll get the answer soon enough.

Wide open ,barcia,,Kenny ,Anderson,all still have good shot....

That approach sure worked for Dungey....just a very smart rider as well as fast..
He is smart, he will agree to finish 4/3 sometimes and get the tittle with a "Dungey" Style. Minimizing risks that's the key. It would be the right call in my opinion.
Roczen is gaining speed and confidence so he needs to minimize mistakes, not saying Roczen is exempt from mistakes he's far more calculated which will keep him upright.

It’s not about potential. Before A1, not many(if any) said Tomac CAN’T when the title. After A1, same with MM. 2017 when KR crashed out, does that mean he didn’t have the potential?
All the speculation goes out the window when reports come in about a practice injury or something.
Last week he didn't wheelie over the small double where Wilson crashed. You could see it in his heat race, every time Musquin caught him.
He probably learned from the last years and is taking it a little more easy. I'm pretty sure he can go considerably faster if he goes all in (could he have beat Anderson last night? I don't know)
Barcia is no different. None of us really trust h can keep it together the whole year right? But he is riding fantastic. He rode thru what looked like some setup issues last night to a fantastic finish.
Roczen... what you’re seeing is what you’re gonna get. This is who he is now. The question really is, how long can he handle being 75% of his former self. Heck, he coupd limp this to a title if Barcia & Ando falter.
Moose & Eli... I expect them to come back and win races. Lots of them. It wouldn’t surprise me if this is a 5 way battle going into Vegas.
(Bubba has to be kicking himself right now).
I agree with the rest.
