Fuck no.
Weve seen hundreds of times before where two title rivals hardly meet on track at all during the season.
I could see Tomac not getting good starts, Herlings getting hurt before the race, Tomacs pants falling down, etc.
I pray that I’m wrong!!

Race, and deal with it.
Bugger the 'Cotton Wool' mindset of so many of you.
Wrap them in Bubble Wrap, as the OP puts forward, and they'd then get their arses handed to them by riders who were not so coddled.
They'll get there, or not. So bloody be it.
Herlings: 1 - 1 - 1 - 2 - 1
Tomac: 5 - 6 - 12 - 1 - 3
There are lotsa "yeah buts," but these are dull facts.
es337, just got the rolls, where should I send'em?
never won a moto outside the USA but almost a perfect record at USGP's
Pit Row
Just saying
I know it won't happen. But Tomac can't afford to make any mistakes with a 15 point lead with 3 rounds to go.
As good as kenny has been lately, he could easily get in between tomac and musquin if Tomac gets a bad start. That's 6 points in one moto.
Herlings: another story. I'd agree if they just handed him the golden plate now. 6 races remaining, two of which are deep sand tracks.
• Starts used to be Herlings' achilles heel, but he simply doesn't make bad starts anymore.
• Tomac makes so-so starts all the time.
Tomac has been great at running down leaders when he makes a poor start, but the chances of him (or anyone) running down Herlings in that fashion are zero. I'd give Herlings a better chance of running down Tomac (or any leader), but the first moto of last year's USGP showed us that Herlings still had to settle for second. So, yeah, the starts should be the key.
And what in hell has gotten into Bogle at the start?
Herlings record outside europe is a lot better as Tomacs
Herlings his starts are better , he doesnt need to be "on "to be fast . doesnt make as many mistakes and he improved a lot over last year and his pants are just better quality
so there isnt much to worry about , Herlings is coming over to whoop ass
i only explained why it would make sense for Tomac to race this one ,
lets hope he doesnt choke as there is a lot of pressure on Eli to go 1-1 and the fans want a good race and dont want to hear about who might have won because of fastest laptimes etc etc
he won 3 of them , lost 1 and ..thats your idea of getting smoked ?? selective memory its called dude
Webb: 4th Race 1, 10th Race 3
Herlings: 2nd Race 2, 1st Race 3
And judging from how Cairoli and Gajser faired against Tomac in the USGPs in 2016 I don't think Herlings would've beaten him on those days either.
