When you think about Eli being hard on clutches and how the ideal riding style for mud is Roczen’s and then you compare the twos results in mud races since 2018 Eli has been a better mud rider! Eli has been a very good and consistent mud rider till Saturday and he was on his way to another good mud in moto 1 till disaster struck! Below is comparing a clutch abuser to a non clutch abuser.

Seattle 2018: Eli won, Roczen sidelined
Unadilla 2018: Eli 1-2, Ken 7-7
Ironman 2018: Eli 2-9, Ken 3-2
Red Bud MXDN: Eli 4-7, Ken 25-9
Anaheim 1 2019: Eli 3rd, Ken 2nd
San Diego 2019: Eli 1st, Ken 3rd
Hangtown 2019: Eli 4-1, Ken 1-2
Spring Creek 2019: Eli 2-5, Ken 14-2
Salt Lake 3: Eli 1st, Ken 10th
This is basically what I’ve been trying to say the whole time. Eli has proven that he is not only capable of finishing in the mud, he is actually pretty good at riding it too.

Irregardless, that Kawi team has some deep seeded issues with reliability. It’s a doggy dog world and if I were them I’d nip it in the butt. Wouldn’t expect them to get off scotch free otherwise.
There’s a certain guy on a certain moto podcast that constantly irregardless and it drives me crazy.

Well, he just made up 13 of those points in 'one race'. Still 12 motos to go.

40 points down / 13 points made up this weekend = 3.07692308 rounds til they're even with 6 rounds to go.

It could still swing in either direction but it ain't over yet.

Has Eli ever started a series on top? Honest question. It seems to me he starts slow then about 4 or 5 rounds in, he really comes alive.

He started pretty well the last two years. Pretty sure he won the opener last year at Pala, and maybe the year before at hangtown

He went 7 - 1 at the Hangtown opener last year and won Pala the following weekend, in 2018 he won the first 6+ motos and was podiuming each Moto until his kawi let go yet again in Red Bud - I'm sure MEK has that in mind for this next weekend

Do you remember Hangtown when he was about 1:30 ahead of Dungy in second ?
