stop over analyzing it. Tomac is solid if he fixes his starts, which he seem to have.
He got armpump, my guess is that it was the cold evening (or food/water, whatever). happens a lot here when temp starts falling below 15celcius.

he looks wooden and uncomfortable on the KXF. Same as in SX last year.

how long is his contract?

Everyone forgets that these kids are self made Millionaires at age 20, forced to train and ride all day everyday for years and have global companies and race teams with 20 employees depending on them to win. It's easy to understand why some become basket cases.

I hate to jump on the its the bike bandwagon, but did ANY of us say any of these things about ET before he switched to the COW? He was typically always the fastest rider out there who charged the hardest the whole race, he just didn't get the start or he had a few small mistakes. Now he is just off the pace for the whole race. Im sorry but he needs to get off that bike. Who has looked good on the bike since RV? Desalle looks like crap, Tomac and Grant don't look good either. Could they have tailored the bike to villopoto's liking and it doesn't work for anyone else?

For the record, I think the same issue that seems to be the cause of some of his races falling apart are also the cause of his days when he can smoke anyone in the world by 30 seconds. It's uncontrolled emotions. When things go bad he lets them get really bad....mentally comes unglued and everything becomes twice as difficult.

.......on the flip side, when it is going good it's like rainbows and unicorns and he feels like he's unstoppable. Dungey seems to have mastered the art of controlled emotions and acts pretty robotical. Rides the same no matter what. Roczen appears to be close. Eli, not there yet.

And I agree that he needs some training in an environment where he can learn to be comfortable while uncomfortable. Bakers guys seem to be affected the least by pressure....and look at how they push each other during the week.
There's that word robot being used to describe Dungey again. What a machine! Tongue

True last year it was 'because his shoulders weren't 100%' this year its armpump??????? He looked to consistently be going backwards


Ex Kawasaki team riders have alluded to issues within the team regarding bike setup pretty much ever since Vill left....................He won on it why cant you all?
