Title says it. As a huge ET3 fan I hope he comes out like a ball of fire and puts a smack down on the field. However, after watching the last few rounds and thinking of East Rutherford I'm not so sure. what's everyone's thoughts? which tomac shows up?
Hope for a great, close race.
The Shop
Blake and Marv go for the W
In football terms he's gone into prevent defense on the last drive of 4th quarter up by 6 and is getting torched by Aaron Rodgers.
Time to send a blitz or two.
Eli just needs to say fuck it and throw caution to the win and go out there and win. Screw this manage championship defense crap. It's causing him to lose big chunks of points.
Eli needs to race to win and he will be champion. This race not to lose crap can sometimes anger the Moto gods and that's when weired shit starts to happen.
He's a racer. Go fucking race. If he does that he's champ.
Last year's Budds Creek Official Shirt featured ET3. We drank a lot, put them on, and admired his effort helping a downed rider. He didn't do shit. 4th OA, IIRC.
Eli has ZERO OA's at Budds Creek. NONE. ZERO. ZILCH. Either class.
Marv is going to whip his ass. I hope otherwise.
Pit Row
I'm too lazy to find it but in a "who's gonna win it" thread back in May I picked MM and for some reason I think he still might.....
This Championship is absolutely ETs to lose and like he showed us all in SX.......he just might
How long has he been Pro and he has one championship. And it's because he's not racing the way Eli knows how. Take out the injury in 2015 and he could/should have multiple championships for a rider of his caliber.
Look, I'm not saying to go throw away a championship by riding over your head. What he needs to do is focus and go and try and win each Moto. He's not doing that right now. He's playing prevent defense and letting the competition back into the game.
Do what got you into the lead. Race to win. If he does that then he will be champ. Anything less and he's taking on a huge risk of something freak happening like a rock in the front disc or something.
Just like in prevent defense. Just do what got you into the lead to begin with and you likely win.
Webb clinched 250, as did Roczen 450. Same day. Two Champions. Podium in an "odd" spot as usual.
Zacho won his first ever AMA 250 overall as well that day. The ROLL started there.
When we say slow down Eli, I think we mean just don't ride at 2016 Glen Helen pace. He's backed off too far IMO, it's a fine line though
Post his results at Budds since turning Pro. No Way ET3 wins.
The most dominant performance was 2013(?) when RD knocked the wind outta his ass in the rollers prior to the finish line. We were screaming "GET UP" to RD and RV2 won the first moto. RD limped into 2nd. Was weak, but kept on.
RD smoked Villopoto in the 2nd moto. The rest is history.
I know what you mean and it seemed to work for past champs...but he knows himself best and I think he learned from the past, especially this supercross season. I assume he couldnt handle the pressure very well and thats his way now to prevent what happened in the past. Its kinda obvious he backed it down and I can totally understand this. From a fan perspective this is a complete different story as it makes it kinda less entertaining to watch.
