Hard block pass that looked 100x worse because of the way Tomacs bike fell. I'm a Tomac fan, but some people are losing their damn minds. Last lap for the win and he left the door open, what did you expect?

I guess at vital a clean block pass and blatant takeout are the same thing. Not gonna waste any more time trying to argue though, it's been fun boys. See ya next week.

Question 4/21/2018 3:34pm
4/21/2018 3:34pm
My opinion in the race thread; not sure everyone will agree LOL.
"It looked like a nasty take out but actually if we look at the lines & slow mo, it looks more that Tomac made a (little) mistake;
I am sorry but after a pass for the lead, a few corners later, don't cut so short on the most inside line while the other rider has no clue about it as he was infront the full race, it is waiting for something like this to happen.
Had Tomac just took the 2nd line, which was also quite inside, he would have won...
It happens, it is racing, it was just a bit crazy to see it !"

No heel clicker. Must have felt at least a little bad about how it happened. I’m an Eli fan but Marvin didn’t do that on purpose. He wanted to block him but come on. If Marvin does it again then I will point my finger but until then I will just give him a thumbs up.

Was it dirty,....Yes. Should Marvin Be docked,....No.
That said I'd Hate to be Marvin at the next round, because now it's Pay-Back time and Marvin is in this for the Championship and now he's got a BULLSEYE on his back and Tomac could ruin his season. (and I hope he does)
True.......That seemed like not to smart of a move on a guy that has the speed but isnt in the championship like Eli. Marvin may really regret that move, Call me immature, but I'd make sure Marvin does NOT win the championship any way that I could if I was Eli.

To me it looked like Marvin could care less if he hurt Eli.......That would maybe have been a championship winning move if pulled on Andersen......but pulled on Eli could be his biggest mistake of the year so far. Eli's got the skills to muck this up for Marvin if he so chooses. And I hope he does too.

This incident reminds me a bit of JS7 cutting inside first lap at A1 while Dungey was coming in inside too ...
What I am surprised of is seing more and more riders cutting super inside even 1st lap with no consideration of what is behind and seing not so many crashes. Still it happens sometimes ...

What I would have found cooler would have been to see Musquin waiting for Tomac just after the finish line, just to show he was more than sorry. Anyway they will chat about it during press conference etc so I think things will cool down.

Eli and a lot of his fans are cry babies. He really deserves a Tampax sponsor.

It's called racing you baby and a few corners before you didn't see Marvin cut down and get taken out. Use your head.

Clearly most of the folks on here didn’t watch 80s and early 90s supercross. Too much reality show TV watching and Kardashian’s. ?

Just a few corners from the finish line, rubbin' is racing. If the situation was reversed you know damn well Tomac would do the same thing. What goes around comes around.

Yet dungey fans are the ones that have been crying for a year over way less aggressive passes. Once again...DELUSIONAL

I think it was legit and dirty at the same time. So really no questions here. It’s not show friends it’s show business. It was a bit dirty but not totally egregious. All fair from my end.
Agreed! I woulda done it! Tomac doesn’t have to like it.

450 SX is for PROfessionals, legit pass to me, no worse than Zackos for the title... A bit rough but needed for the win!

Always good to see several lead changes on the last lap regardless of who it was and what they did.

problem with that pic is that Cross-Jumpin-Marv is going the wrong way on the track. Just like what jimmy button said.

RACISTS, you damn RACISTS! A foreigner T-Bones or Blockpasses THE REAL (I don't do the MXON for my country) AMERICAN and crowd favorite and those stars and strips wavers are here to cry about!

Didn't hear you guys cry when BamBam was trying to put guys on the ground. Or when Webb was trying to put Marv on the ground;

Didn't think so
I don't
because Dungey saw it coming and let off the gas.
Had he gassed it like TOmac did, he would have been on the ground as well. He was locked in a rut.
The first picture is almost the exact same move. Tight corner, Dungey locked in a rut and Tomac jumping off the single into the turn

Marvin is trying to make up points on Anderson. I don't blame him, he needs points (not that it'll matter, but you never know in SX), Eli needs wins for his ego. Not saying that's a bad thing, but Eli left the door open just enough. If that was 5 laps earlier, or even 1 lap earlier, Marv doesn't go for that pass.
