I'm thinking this is where Marv gets on a roll like he did last year.
I honestly think Tomac will crumble under the pressure of trying to get the points lead back in a championship he likely thought was all his.
This is where the two fastest guys put their heads down, the mechanics triple check everything, the managers eat rolaids constantly, the fan boys bitch endlessly...and we get to see the best racing. Ain't it great?

Eli seems to thrive playing catch up, might have been better for Marv to be close but chasing.
Marv smells blood in the water now. And fame and money. He’s going to go all out. Might be fun to watch.

Yeah it will be more rewarding when he pulls away in the points again.

If I remember correctly, Kenny and JB had all moto to run him down today...
Tomac and/or Anderson for 2020.....

Basically even down the stretch, all that momentum Eli gained early is gone. Marvin can win this title, he's very strong at the remaining tracks.

When's he ever pulled away in points in a 450 championship? Tomac will right the ship. He lost a whole moto and the points are still about even.

He wont crymble under the pressure IMO. look at all the motos and races he won in a row to start this outdoor season, you dont think he had pressure doing that? If his bike wouldnt have broke in this first moto, he would still have a 22 point lead.
All part of the game here, wouldn't be the first championship lost to a mechanical.
vomiting equals disqualification.
You owe me for the glass of tequila I just spit out!
Classic!
Nobody ever told me, I found out for myself. You've got to believe in foolish miracles. It's not how you play the game, it's if you win or lose. You can choose. Don't confuse. Win or lose. It's up to you!
Can’t say he handed Marv the red plate. Not like he tossed it away with a crash. It was a mechanical issue so nothing ET3 could do about that
2011 Yamaha YZ 250 -MX
1996 Yamaha Banshee 350 -Trails
1982 Chevy S10
2005 Pontiac GTO -451rwhp
As far as the tracks remaining:
2017 Results:
Millville: Musquin 1-1, Tomac 2-5
Washougal: Musquin 1-1, Tomac 2-2
Unadilla: Musquin 1-1, Tomac 10-5
Budds Creek: Musquin 2-4, Tomac 7-1
Ironman: Musquin 2-2, Tomac 5-6
Then again last year doesn’t matter. But Marvin is historically better on the second half tracks.
For fame and money, motocross is where it’s at, baby. I think I saw Kdub and RC hangin’ at the Cannes Film Festival.

I meant Tomac
I gotta admit I’ll be rooting for Mathildes husband but the beast Tomac impressed me today pushing that dead Kow with a locked up rear end. So surprised he didn’t drop it where it stopped and walk away. The strength of these the top few guys is amazing.

You sure about that ? He put Tomac in the dirt for 100K bonus and a supercross win just a few months back. Now he’s got the red plate and looking at a championship and huge bonus.
