What do you think the riding tactics of Eli Tomac will be at Las Vegas? I mean, last year we all know that he chose the "Hold 'Em All Up" method of messing with Dungey, because he really had the championship to win if he could jack with Ryan and make him make a costly mistake.

This year, Eli is pretty much out of the picture...and it looks like the Anderson/Musquin show down to the last race. Do you think Tomac will pay back Marvin for the takeout he gave him two races ago just to cost him the title even though it wouldn't benefit him enough to win the championship? Or, do you think he'll race cleanly the last race and let the chips fall where they may?

Tomac is the Jeep. Moosecan is the moose. I think you get the idea.

He will win it and move on to win outdoors again. And when moosecan gets in the way of his outdoor title he will break his spokes and say it was for the win

He's not "pretty much out of it". He is out of it.
He can't get second or first anymore, and he can't get fourth anymore.
If he plans to take out Musquin, that's not tactics

I can see Tomac waiting till Outdoors. Tomac would want Marvin worrying about a retaliation move when they are both fighting for a championship.

Will Tomac be a national hero for getting revenge on Musquin? or a complete douche for being selfish and screwing up his chances of a title?

He's out of contention and just needs to concentrate on his own race and go for the win, obvs. There should be no tactics you're insinuating involved.

I think Tomac will charge for the win, Moosecan will avoid him like the plaque and concentrate on punting Anderson for the title, Anderson will concentrate on avoiding any nonsense from Moosecan and just finishing to clench the title, and while all that's going on Peick will get on the box. You heard it right hear on roller derby lol

They didn’t see it coming bc the moose hadn’t used that line all day, he had been crossing where the main racing line was and uhh the Jeep just tried their best ya know.

It wouldn't be a proper hit unless somebody loses a shoe, and it seems the moose might have.

I can see him jacking with him but not punting him.

He'd be smart not to: if he's ever going to win the title, he doesn't need to have another payback coming next year.

If he gets the start, he will check out and win by a minute.

Doesn't get the start, bump marv on the way by then win by a minute.

Is Tomac in contention for the championship? Didn't think so. No tactics or drama needed.

I think Eli will concentrate on winning and move on .I doubt he will play any games.I don't know, he might mess with Marvin a bit if he has the chance to but I don't see him doing anything rash.

knowing Tomac we'll get to see the speed at which he can pick his bike up and get going.

over/under is 13 seconds

Tomac may act like a baby at times but I doubt he would sink to level and mess with Marvin at Vegas, I am sure he is over it by now.

He would make a bigger statement by just winning it and moving on. I'm sure at some point outdoors they will be near each other again.

I'm getting a kick out of people thinking Marv's move was super dirty, but yet would be totally cool with Tomac intentionally taking Marv out in retaliation.

Kawasaki's team tactics are probably more focused on having Tomac stay on two wheels.

It’s probably more likely than anything that he’ll end up hitting the ground at some point. He’s like a floor magnet.

The best thing Tomac can do to hurt Marvin is to check out, it moves Anderson down to only needing 17th(maybe 18th, don't know how that affects the tie breaker), actually 18th(#15), and maybe 19th if Anderson wins the tie breaker.

If he wants to make it really count he'll wait for outdoors.

Tomac should be thinking first and foremost if keeping that scooter the right way up. Then going for the W.
