In previous years, I’ve enjoyed watching Eli search for speed. Different lines. Different rhythms. And he would either make time improvements quickly or change things up to search again. From my observations in recent races, I’m not seeing him search for speed. He seems to commit to lines or rhythms and repeat them for too long instead of moving around on the track to find another advantage.

Maybe a lingering injury? Maybe age? Maybe he’s just done? He seems unable to overcome something as simple as a pass. It’s almost like he wants to find a way to follow someone faster to find a line but he just can’t keep up. Or he’ll keep his previous line to see how it compares to the guy who just got past him and he gets gapped.

For the sake of a championship fight, I hope he turns it around. But if he can’t, I’d love to see Kenny grab a title.
