Dungey is the least of his worries.
Eli would have finished in 10th if Anderson would have lined up and Roczen would have finished.
4 days straight of Chipotle and Popeyes fried chicken with red beans and rice, cut out the biscuit if he needs to save a little but man that would get the blood flowing, make him more chilled and happy! Well that works for me anyway.
Have any journalists asked him?
Anyone seen any good interviews with Tomac recently?
It also seems that he hardly does any interviews and the ones he does, are the standard boring arse ones that offer up nothing of interest. I kinda think that Tomac comes across as having an epic chip on his shoulders and seems angry most of the time, and maybe he uses that mentality (him v the rest) as his motivation? Most likely a nice dude away from it all too.
It was interesting reading DV's article this week where he saw training footage of Tomac practicing his corners and he reckons Eli looked like shit. As much as a weapon he is outdoors, I really think his SX skills and the expectations of the fans are wildly overstated.
Sorry, meant to quote dude above you

I hope he figures out what's wrong, when everything is clicking for him he is amazing to watch.
Pit Row
That is the important part. Before 450s. Things change when rider moves up. We have all seen it so many times in US and in the GPs.
Something is wrong with Eli at the moment. This is just my opinion but i don't think that he will ever be on Dungeys and Roczens level in SX but he should be closer than what he has showed us so far this season.
Also his 250W results are pretty dominant.
Rd2 - 6th
Rd3 - 8th
Currently 5th in the points. 7 points behind Seely, and 1 ahead of Peick.
Definitely hasn't lived up to the hype that the media was pushing during the off season claiming Dungey, Roczen, and Tomac were going to be the big 3 in 2017 SX.
I thought he claimed arm pump after Rd1? Maybe he is still dealing with arm pump problems.
For sure it is painful to watch too with this potential, i was really seeing him mixing it up with Kenny and dungey this year.
lets not blame the bike, if here were to go to another brand, and does not deliver it will be said because its a new bike/team.
i deft think tomac has more than an 5th,6th,8th in him, the guy has won multiple times
the problem with tomac is HE SET THE BAR VERY VERY HIGH, anything but total domination is sub-par
like others have said, mostly likely its mental and deft needs to practice with other fast guys, chase someone around
anyone who has played competitive sports knows practice games are crucial
I would like to see how Eli would go on the new Honda as a comparison.
From lap 1 he was rolling backwards and Grant beat him!
