Congrats to Eli tying all time SX wins with RV for 5th all time at 41 race wins. Only needs 3 more wins this season to catch Reed. Honestly, if he can keep racing this good and goes for 1 more season of SX, he could finish ahead of James which is insane to think about.

That was a big bummer for Webb but with Eli's pace, I don't think Webb was going to bring home the win anyway.

People seem to forget how great Coop is at defense when he's dialed like he was tonight. We'll never know because of McElrath.

Tomac has shark eyes when he locks in. Webb was going to get eaten.

That’s not on McElrath, that was a poor line choice by Webb.

It was Webb's line choice for sure that cost him but wasn't poor and wasn't McElrath's fault either. He was able to get a good line around McElrath existing corner before but didn't work once McElrath faded to the right on blue flag to get out of the way. If McElrath went left it was correct choice.

But that's racing. And so are lappers

Cooper should have realized that is where the lapper would go.

But Eli was going to get him anyway. Webb knew that...that is why he didn't even try to get him back.

Cooper, "That guy is so good here."

Eli actually seemed to lose time to Webb coming out of the sand most laps.

Yup. It was a yo-yo race. Coop would pull away in one part of the track and Tomac would close up in the other.

Webb haters look for any reason to slam him....and you've got the Tomac fanbois on the other side.

It was a great race. Happy for both riders....

A.) Coop is getting back to his race form of last year
B.) Tomac is on fire on the "Blue Pig"

So it’s still considered yo-yo once Tomac was on his rear wheel?

Glad Cooper has some speed in him even if hes not with Aldon. Someone other than JA to keep Tomac honest and not just run away with the series. Don't care much for him, just happy to see someone challenge for the front of the race.

I am not sure the yami did much better than the kawi. Tomacs engine problems come in motocross with about 14 minutes longer in the race. Then the coolant can run out.

He'll probably have oversized radiators,oil cooler, and a fan in the outdoors.

Webb wasn't making excuses, and giving kudos to Tomac seemed unscripted.

Looked pretty fit on the most grueling sx track on the circuit. He gave Tomac all he could handle on a track he owns. Sure seems like the issues early in the season were setup related and not from a lack of Aldon

The issue with the bikes with shared oil in the transmission and engine is the clutch heats the oil up and that’s what causes them to overheat.
