Did something happen with Tomac when he tried to pass Breece? He seemed to lose more ground and get passed by Malcolm.

Rewatched the race and he went from down 20 seconds to down 24 seconds. The camera went away when he was about to make a move on Breece. Then at the next segment he lost 4 seconds and was behind Malcom. So Eli crashed twice, and had a horrible start and salvage a 4th. Seems like he has more than enough mental fortitude to win the Chip!

This place is unreal with the Tomac favoritism.

When Barcia passed both Friese and Davalos coming out of the over/under it looked like both guys checked up or something. Friese was like looking over at something. It was odd and of course our stellar announcers never said boo about it. Tomac doesn't have the mental strength to win this thing. Roczen will likely be the 2020 champ.

I think Eli does have the mental strength to win it this year. His race last night proved that for sure.

BUT it is his horrible starts that will doom him not to win this year. Amazing someone so fast can't figure out starts.

According to RacerX he stalled in the sand. Overall, a very impressive ride from Tomac. Through the last half of the race he had the best average lap time and that was coming through traffic. Sure, Roczen probably backed it down with the massive lead he had but if I were Tomac I would be very happy with that ride.

You’re missing the point. One of the dirtiest riders our sport has seen was expressing displeasure at someone doing to him a very mild version of what he normally does to everyone else.
I’m not a Tomac fan. Just can’t stand hypocrites.

I don't think I'm missing the point, just because someone is perceived as dirty doesn't mean they can't have an opinion on a move when asked about it. GuyB even posted why Justin didn't love it (he spoke to him directly).

A few things to consider 1) did Barcia whine or did he just answer the question? 2) did he do anything dirty in this race (Atlanta)?

I have no problem with the way Eli races. In this case, even he admitted to doing something stupid (taking Blake and himself out incident) and life moves on.

Hilarious.

According to RacerX he stalled in the sand. Overall, a very impressive ride from Tomac. Through the last half of the race he had the best average lap time and that was coming through traffic. Sure, Roczen probably backed it down with the massive lead he had but if I were Tomac I would be very happy with that ride.

Tomac went from down 24 seconds to down 17 at the end. I know Ken wasn’t on rails for the last part of the race but Tomac was in traffic. Had He not got caught in the rut before the whoops he would have passed Webb and still be in sole possession of the red plate.

Life is full of IFs. If Webb wasn't sick the first few rounds, he'd probably be in command of this years points. IF IF IF IF IF IF IF

Here's the reality.... Tomac couldn't find a way to pass an injured Webb in the last lap.

I rewatched the race and Barcias move on Tomac and Tomacs move back on Barcia are literaly almost Identical.

Couple this with Barcias bullshit riding a couple of weeks ago where he brings Tomac to a standstill before the finish line and he fucking has something coming.

Sadly Tomac is pretty shit at taking people out when he gets angry and Barcia is really really fucking good at it. I really hope that Malcolm can get in there and slam Barcia at Daytona.

People are hilarious. I am not a huge Barcia fan, but do not dislike him either. Those saying he is more dangerous than any obstacle on the track are funny. Yeah, bam bam has a reputation for banging bars a little, but all these guys ride aggressive. And if that reputation has people like Marty pull over and let you by, more power to Barcia.

Marty cross jumped Barcia bad.....he deserved to be on the
ground in the next corner. Just like if Kenny punted Eli for cross jumping him, he deserved it.

Barcia is 3rd in points 23 out of 1st, in probably the most competitive 450 class we've had in years. Love him or hate him, he is a great rider.
