Ac now only 15 points out of the championship.

If ET catches fire, how will he handle being a team player?

If it happens, how will he handle questions at the press conference about being on the other end when mm helped rd, and the comments ET made then?

Place your bets, missed shift, riding error, or bike problems.

AC would pass him anyway. No need for team orders...or a thank you, afterwards. Wink

Kawasaki is finally in a position to give KTM/Husky a taste of their own medicine. Woohoo

Remember Eli in the press conference after Musquin let Dungey by in 2017? Can't remember what round that was but man, he was pissed, lol

The real question is "when will Eli be in front and in the position to have to let him by?" AC probably does not have the pace to get by 2017-2019 beast mode Eli... but that is not who we are seeing right now and AC does not look like he'd have trouble getting by him.

If it really ever did come down to needing AC to earn a few extra points to seal a championship I think Eli would fall in line and make it happen. Keep a championship in house or give it to KTM / Husky... He knows whats best.

In the hypothetical where Adam has a shot at the title and Eli is out of it, I don't think Eli would have any problem letting Adam by.

Ac now only 15 points out of the championship.

Place your bets, missed shift, riding error, or bike problems.
the way I see it happening is - AC typically gets good starts & if anything fades back (not so much now that he's won a few races, but he did at the beginning) while ET typically gets a bad start & is pushing to the front. I think the question here is if AC gets a start & is out front, & ET goes on one of his beast mode rides & catches AC, does he blow past or fall in line? He's what? 39 points behind? Not completely out, but it's pretty bleak unless ZO has an issue.The way I saw ET riding, I think he's burnt out from SX & having a baby, but maybe it's some tactic of some kind, idk.

If AC pulls up on Eli might be tough to get around but if AC pulls up on Levi who has more appearances the Eli this year it will be no problem.

Eli's ego is fully in check, he'd have no problem letting AC by to win a championship.

The best thing for Kawi heading into the home stretch is for Tomac to nail some starts, then things will get interesting!

Eli still has a chance so there won't be any decision to make until the last round probably.

Each racer for himself right now.

But based on last weekend it does not look like this will even come up in the race. Eli was really a 7th place guy at Spring Creek....BOTH motos!
