Uhhhhhhhhh, does somebody want to tell him?

Oh and the second moto? Was that a mechanical? Hmmmm. Thought not.

Psssst...
Since I think a few of you have missed the “sarcasm alarm” & I really don’t think we need another dead horse ‘round h’yar...

I’ve seen Marvin on good days and bad..always pursuing his craft and that next win for the same reason...
He loves to win.
Period.

He and his wiser-than-you’d believe wife are a team that loves this sport, lives a fairly normal life, always smile & share the stoke...&...as I said...
They’re in it to win it.
Period.

Also, Hi-5 to BSmoove aka Captain Sarco for his “Post of the Day”.
(I happen to know his street handle is Smoove...that’s the name he uses when he’s DJing and thrillin’ al the girlies).

I only seen him go down once so pardon me. He was about to pass filthy Phil on the big right hand sweeper going down him. Can’t see everything while your at the track

Yep. I like kawi but man they've cost Eli a-LOT... I hope they give him the bonus dough when he'd clearly win. As I sit here I believe they'd owe him for a couple race wins in Supercross and motocross and one sx championship bonus. Anybody? Is that about right?

I am NOT a fan of Marvin, I think he's great rider but he's not an American, so I'm always rooting for our home boys. However, I've been reading your stuff for years and your one of the most unbiased people I've ever read. I like him a bit more after reading what you write, and today his chick was draped in an AMERICAN flag- class act- I still root for my American boys but I do respect what he and his wife are doing. Pretty cool actually

I would have made the team autograph it before handing it over.

Ahhhhhhhhh it's a super slow Suzuki! Well, it's not green but I'll forgive ya, best bang for buck on the market. If I had the money it's what I'd buy too. And I'm a blue balls guy

I have no problem with marv, except for his cross jumping....... but he maybe should play this scene out carefully if he doesn't like all the booing from the fans......I feel that if he does anything sketchy at all to Eli, while going for the win, asshole fans will skewer him way worse than they do now......that could really mess with a guy like Marvin out on the track.

Full disclosure.....I'm an Eli fan. How can you not be with that RAW speed he shows.

Pretty sure Eli still had the points lead after the first moto DNF. Him sucking it up in the 2nd moto was where he "handed" the red plate to Marvin

Perfect timing for Eli's payback. But instead of a cheap shot takeout move, utter domination to get that championship. Like a real man. USA USA USA

Doubt the points lead is gonna last look at herlings plus with the added break i think marv will take it easy knowing he has the red plate while eli will be moto-ing down and going full beast mode and have no pressure of red plate plus eli can easily go double the pace of marv when he wants to

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.
On a roll? You do realize Marve is not on pace with ET right? Loosing moto 1 was not his fault. I'm pretty sure ET has him covered.

Eli will have no pressure of red plate? On what planet? In two weeks Tomac completely forgot his newly acqired thinking man racecraft and reverted back into "Beast Mode". Net result, threw away a huge points lead. I'd say there's some red plate pressure, like the weight of the world.

Well..........they are the last Factory Team to have a 24-0 perfect season, and I don't see that happening ever again.
