Marvin hasn't found another gear since the start of the nationals that would put him 15 or so seconds ahead of a fully race mode Tomac We seen him and Tomac battle at the beginning of the series when the points were still wide open, noone was managing anything, and both riders were riding at 100% going balls out. Marvin has ridden awesome these past two rounds, but unfortunately this late in the season the points leader goes into management mode if he has a decent points lead. Had Tomac decided to battle with Marvin (who is pretty far back in points) and crashed out then he would be getting an earful from a lot of higher ups that are signing his paychecks. I feel this would be common sense at this point in the game. The guy is getting paid big bucks to try to win a championship. I don't see him racing Marvin too hard the remaining rounds to be honest.
