If Roczen and Tomac were within 10 points of each other, everything would be completely different. Tomac may very well end up ahead, but it'd be a whole different set of circumstances that'd probably have each rider doing things that they might not do right now.

As a Tomac fan, this was a promising sign of what is to come hopefully. I think the series just got more interesting for sure.
Your friend,
Nervous American motocross fan
Talk about being so wrong it's laughable.
Stay in school fool.
Anybody who doubted Tomac doesnt know the sport and couldnt spot talent with a neon sign and a road map.
LOL! Priceless.
I think alike.

"I'm actually not a big Tomac fan, but here's the deal.. He may not be that fast yet, but you can see from the little things from the way he is riding that if anyone will take the speed to the "next level" it'll be him. RV is fastest right now, sure, but I predict that in a year or two Tomac will go through the hard sections of the MX or SX tracks faster than RV now, or anyone.. this will only happen of course if he stays healthy to improve and get better! We'll see!"
Tomac is a lot like RC...in that he just hits stuff faster and stays in control. His speed in many areas is one of pure athleticism and will. RC had the ability to do that because he worked harder than the other riders of his era. He changed the game.
Tomac grew up in that new paradigm. Everyone works hard now. We all talk about training as if all these guys can achieve the same level of fitness and strength by "putting in the work". Well that is BS. If it were true, we would not have elite level athletes that dominate in other sports.
I feel that Tomac is simply a superior natural athlete. AND he trains as hard as anyone else. The simple truth is no matter how hard KR and Dunge train, there may be sections of the track that they can not ride as fast as an equally hard training Tomac except for a lap or two. They will simply get too tired over a longer period at that speed. Tomac will hit stuff that choppy random stuff harder, and be able to handle the physical strain without tiring as much. (Blake Baggett is the other guy we have seen with this sort of physical ability to just go faster....but his wrist injury may have take the edge off his ultimate ability)
Tomac = gnarly. It is called genetics.
I also think this is why Tomac may not be as dominant in SX. In SX...you never get up to those super high speeds. The tracks stay smoother. With the exception of maybe Daytona...the sort of "just go faster" sections you see outdoors do not exist in SX. So that athletic advantage is not nearly as significant in SX. Tomac needs to build skills there to develop an advantage.
His performance was questionable but give him a week to redeem himself at least.
I still stand by my statements earlier this season. Tomac will out-win Roczen in the long haul. It'll be interesting to see what happens when KRoc goes to Suzuki and if Tomac decides to go green or to another team.
Post a reply to: Will Tomac be able to challenge Roczen once he gets up to speed?
