Eli didn't have the strength to make a pass.
Plus, ET faded dramatically in the last part of the first moto and Zach did not.
Tomac said post race interview they tried something different with the front end first moto and didn’t work.
Second moto he closed a 10 second lead on Osbourne and made a mistake when he got close to him.
Do you not remember tomac lapping Osbourne in Salt Lake City or when he came from near dead last to finish second she ahead of Osbourne.
Tomac rode ok in the first moto until about eight minutes left to go and then faded badly letting people catch him that never should have.
So why did that happen? The 'bad setup' was only 'bad' the last eight minutes?
Yes, maybe it caused him to get 'tired' and that is why he faded badly. Possible. But other than being 'tired' how do you explain the last eight minutes of that moto compared to earlier part?
The second moto he caught up but had nothing left to pass him at the end. Even though he made a 'mistake' he was still not pressing for a possible pass.
Zach out paced him down the stretch in both motos when 'fitness' is the biggest factor. That is just what happened, not 'how' I saw it.
Maybe it will be different this weekend.

It makes things a lot harder and tires you out a lot quicker.
If anything he ran out of time second moto
If MM25 had not fallen down so many times, ending up dead last, and Roczen was more consistent, not having those motos where he faded badly it would have been a different series.
I understand that 'would of' is not what actually happened but I still think Zach has a very real shot at this if he can avoid the big mistake. He is a very strong, high motivated and fast rider right now.
Even though I thought, maybe, after winning the SX title the way he did that his 'bad' motos days would be a thing of the past. We will see this weekend.
I actually want Eli to win again but I would be happy to see Zach get a title as well.
That was a national track. They both had to deal with it. I can't believe Kawi got it so far off that Eli had to back that far off and give up positions as easily as he did. With 8 (or less possibly) races left, Eli can't wait until round 3 to show Zach up.
All that aside, I think Tomac will have a stronger showing this weekend and I still think he will win it all.
Zach will have a bad moto, will Eli have another bad moto,who knows and that's what makes the series interesting and worth watching.
Hell Musquin,Baggett,Anderson,Barcia could go on a run and make it even more interesting.
Going to be fun to watch.
It's because he had an UNFAIR ADVANTAGE in Practice.
It's ONLY because it was a Mudder.
It's ONLY TWO RACES.
He's raced the GPs and THAT'S NOT FAIR!
My guy (name of other rider that said fan-boy has a crush on -here-) had a Bad Day...Twice...You'll see!
ZachO enlisted unfair assistance...from Jesus!
He's as SHORT as RC and that's not fair!
Those Huskies have an unfair advantage from all those Rockstar Dollars!
DeanO and Jason were blocking for him: Team Tactics!
Let Broc Bye!
Anstie was paid to move over!
He wasn't wearing a Mask on The Podium!
BRAKE BRACKET RULEZ!
Cause my sister-in-law's baby cousin Tracy, she told me that she saw Zach cut the track!
It's only because Eli dropped his bow.
Bwaaahaaaaahaaaaaaa
19 points up in 2nd.
