He’s the only one with multiple 450 MX titles and a 450 SX title. No one in the current field has his resume.

So, by that knowledge, had Chad Reed lined up this year he'd be the best rider on the gate.

Got it.

Well if Webb gets the chip this season it’s 2 legit championships to Tomac’s one with a massive asterisk so I’d say Webb would definitely have more accolades.

Well right when the championship pressure was heating up, he got a massive break. He has never handled the championship pressure on a 450 in SX. Ever. Then after a nice long break from that he gets the final 7 rounds on his best track in elevation to boot. Sucks for him. Maybe he would have handled it last year finally for the first time ever. Regardless, last year’s championship comes with a massive asterisk. Regardless of who won it that would likely be the case.

Comparing Marchbanks and Brown to Tomac? Lol yikes. He was the points leader going in you’re right. He’s had the points lead many seasons in his SX career.

Well you said location was a factor, of course skill level is different , so location is invalid.

Your argument makes no sense. Are you trying to say the location didn’t drastically benefit Tomac?

You’re a moron. There were 17 races and Tomac scored more points. Tomac had the red plate where in the last race before the break, he came from about 7th place and chased down the guy that holeshot the race and beat him. End of story. Nothing else to be said. Asterisk my ass.

Nope. He had the. Points lead going to slc, location didnt matter . According to you local riders are at an advantage, now you say it isnt lol. Cant have it both ways . So it came down to skill and tomac won the title If it was a clear advantage. Brown, marchbanks would win races therem. They didnt, so location wasnt an advantage, ask webb. He won more in slc than tomac did.

Huge advantage doesn’t mean automatic win. It does give a massive advantage though. Tomac is a lot better than locals from SLC so I’m not sure how that’s a valid argument.
