Seeing as how there are 7 races left and Tomac has to make up 17 points to win the Championship (assuming he wins more races than Dungey), I was curious to see how many points Tomac has made up on Dungey over the last 7 races so I did a little digging.

After Anaheim 2, Dungey had 69 points and Tomac had 44 - a 25 point difference. 7 races later, after Daytona the points sit at 214 for Dungey and 197 for Tomac - a 17 point difference. That means Tomac has only made up 8 points on Dungey over the last 7 rounds. Granted, if you throw out Tomac's 15th place finish in Arlington, he probably would have made up way more points than he has.

Tomac definitely has a solid chance of gaining the 17 points on Dungey over the next 7 races but given Dungey's consistency my money is still on him for the title.

You can look at it a lot of difference ways. What has happened since Arlington for example? Tomac has gained 12 points on Dungey over the last 4 races. Tomac made up 7 points on Dungey at Daytona alone.

All we can do is watch wait and see. I think the points favor Dungey for more reasons than the obvious. Tomac has no margin for error, and Dungey has a few races to get his shit together. Dungey wasn't happy with his last performance and I believe he will come back out swinging this weekend. Tomac has the pressure to win EVERY RACE while Dungey can take a lot of seconds, and a few wins and lock it up again.

Say Tomac wins every race for the rest of the season and Dungey gets at least second every race (which from how the season has been going Dungey hasnt been getting seconds) anyway with this assumption Tomac would rack up 21 points on Dungey and be the 2017 Champ by 4 points. No this is far fetched and it would take some luck and Tomac to be riding a 100% to achieve this but its not impossible. If you look at Tomacs two bad races since he went on a role
1. Front brake broke
2. Bad start + tight track still got up to second place.

I think Eli is defiantly hungry enough to take this championship.

Can Tomac win this title? Yes!
Can Dungey win this title? Yes!
Who will win this title? No one knows!

That right there is the best part!

Nope, if Tomac fumbles once....Dungey doesn't have to win.

If Tomac wins every race out, he wins.

Ryan Dungey needs to get a few good starts and finish better than Eli
Actually beating Eli straight up would be ideal for him as well

I sure hope both guys make it out healthy. When points are getting close, these guys start pushing outside their comfort zone.

Atlanta didn't help. They would be tie.

The outcome will depend a lot on the starts and the track possibilities to pass. Tomac is faster right now and can as much get tie in 3 races as getting a bad start while Dungey holeshot and get a 10 seconds lead. Over 7 races, i think at least 1 race will be like that for both so the championship should be really tight!

Shoot if Cole Seely wins out and Dungey finishes 4th on average and Tomac finishes 3rd on average.

Seely will be the champ.

Or if Musquin wins out and Dungey finshes 5th on average and Tomac finishes 3rd on average and Seely finishes 2nd on average. Then Musquin will be the champ.

Or if Anderson wins out and Dungey finishes 7th on average and tomac finishes 5th on average and Seely finishes 3rd on average and Musquin finishes 2nd on average. Then Anderson will be the champ.

And if Alessi wins out and Dungey/Tomac/Seely/Musquin/Anderson/Millsaps/Reed/Bagget/Wilson/Tickle/Grant/Brayton/Webb all DNF the series then Alessi is the Champ! Mike Alessi 2017 Supercross Champ Guys!!! Who knew it was possible!!! TongueLaughingLaughingLaughingLaughingWoohoo

I think whoever has the most points after Vegas will most likely be the 2017 champ.

There's only about a million different scenarios that can be possibly played out, so pick yours and see if you are feeling like Nostradamus.

We'll all see truth soon enough. I for one am really enjoying this contest.Cool

Eli was down (if I remember correctly) 29 points after Arlington. To see him where he's at now, and the way he's riding...well, this ain't over yet.
