If any of those cheap shots at trying to punt RD into downtown Vegas would have worked, do you think it might have pissed of US MXDN Team manager Roger DeCoster to not select Eli for Matterley Basin?
Anyone know if Tomac is definitely making himself available for Team USA?

For a title man. He'll never get a chance to beat Dungey for a title now. He could win more titles, not as good as Dungey.

Osbourne raced forward the entire time.... Tomac raced backwards to attempt putting Ryan down. Qudos to Dungey for not allowing him to do so.
Everyone is saying that Tomac could have done this, could have done that... but the true fact is Ryan didn't allow him to. Eli was trying, Ryan just out played him.
And 3 was holding him up.
After the first contact, one man would have loved to see the gloves come off.
Tomacs only hope was to pull the trigger on 5 if he wanted the brass ring.
Gave it his best shot.
As a manager of either team, you could not ask anything more out of either rider.
Would 3 winning the title keep him off the Mxdn team, I really don't think so.
Roger seems to be the kind of guy that lives in the present, and there's another title out there to be won.
A great series, a great finale.
Regarding Zach, that was simply on another level entirely. He mad an epic block pass that was 100% sure to take out Savatgy, and he executed it perfectly. If there was an MX University or text book, they need to use that as a "textbook block pass for the title"
Best pass I have ever personally seen live myself.
He did the only thing he could aside from a blatant take out, kudos to him for fighting for it until the very end
I understand what you're saying, but I don't think you thought that comment the whole way through.

Entirely different if you're racing forward.

Rewatching the 250 main last night Osbornes pass was agressive but it looked like Savatgys handlebar hooked onto Zachs bike and got pulled into a flip, o it looked like a bigger takeout than an aggresive block.
The whole "he could have done this or that" is because he could have. Zacko did it, Jason did it twice. I don't think you have much control over how hard someone hits you when you give them the chance to take you high. I don't think Eli wanted to crash Ryan, he wanted to rattle him and try to get him to make the mistake or have one of the other guys get close enough to cause commotion or pass, besides he wouldn't risk taking himself out too.
Maybe it would have been better if he just punted him that first time, but you all would still call him dirty, at least this way, at least in his mind (and many other racing fan minds) he raced clean, smart, he did what he had to do without being dirty.
