So, with the revelation that Blake tore ligaments in his thumb a week ago when he and Anderson came together...and the announcement that he was going to "tape it and tough it" rather than to take a break to get surgery, do you think Baggett will have anything for Eli Tomac tomorrow at Millville?
He's still in the championship game...sitting only 19-points behind ET, and that spread could quickly be made up if Blake could get a start and had a mistake by Eli to capitalize on.
What do you think?

Nevertheless, Tomac 1-1

Tomas has had Baggett covered on 450's with a handful of exceptions.
Not a knock on Baggett...at all...just stating that Tomas has him covered.
That all being said Blake has only beat Tomac in 4 motos this year and if his thumb is worse than I like to believe it is than it very could be a Tomac runaway again.. I just hope there's some good racing!
Musquin is back.
El Chupacabra will strike again.
Anderson is hungry.
Deano is gaining momentum each week.
Webb is on the 2018 YZ now
Barcia is getting good starts and fighting again.
and the list goes on.
Points wise only a few at the top have a remote chance.
I'm hoping Baggett returns to form this weekend and takes away some or all of the points lead.
And I'm hoping Deano and Anderson both get an overall this year.
It will be great if the points are close and the championship comes down to the last race.
Eli has this sucker right where he wants it, and nearly wrapped up...if he keeps it on two. Other than that, its a wrap. He is riding so well right now, thinking anyone can truly challenge him is a pipe dream, and im no Eli nut hugger, y'all know who my dude is.
But there is a reason they run ALL the races. Mech/DNF etc things could change quickly.
Watching this season makes those perfect seasons by RC and James that much more spectacular.
Good track for a riding with a lot of intensity.
Bagget will have an advantage on tracks with deep ruts and a harder base so i bet Eli.
Musquin is still nursing his leg injury & and I think that will hurt his attempt to seriously challenge. Anderson isn't a championship rider, as he's too worried about clipping anybody in front of him. He got lucky and won one. It won't happen again this year. Webb isn't a threat even on the '18 Yammie...not yet anyway.
I don't see Eli doing 1-1...but he might win. His biggest pressure will again be from Bagget, who will suffer through his thumb injury to nip at Eli's heels...and, I believe from Dean Wilson who suddenly sees that he can be one of "the guys" that could win one or at least challenge. I'm saying...
Tomac
Baggett
Wilson
Musquin
Anderson
Pit Row
No way Dean is ever in contention for a win this season. He's not at that level. Not even close yet.

Hey, by your statement we ought to give everybody an asterisk, right?
