He's only like 15 points down bro. Don't hit the panic button until round 12.

Tomac had the Honda and couldn't get it done what makes you think KTM is the answer. Mechanical Dnf is not his fault I do understand that. He's got to stay off the ground and the bike needs to stay together for him.

That's in a head though. I don't remember the one your talking about in 2014. I do remember the battery malfunctioning at one of the nationals in a corner he stalled it.

hahahhhahaha!!

Seriously though, if it was a bent rotor, why didn't they just swap the front wheel so he could have at least rode the piss out of it for the rest of the moto?

That's what I don't understand. Prob would have taken less time to switch the front wheel out then all the bull shit they did. And he prob would have had a front brake

Yeah I don't get it. Tomac could pull in with a stuck gear shifter and they're still cutting that damn brake line!!

That would be sooooooo gnarlyy considering 90% of the braking is done with the front brake...

Tomac need to learn how to get the holeshot - It is his weakness - Honda Kawasaki nor KTM will change that. That why he had brake problems etc - Out front is the safe place to be ! He needs to learn to get there much quicker !!!! Is the bottom line - Blame the bike ?? WTF

I was just going to mention that. It would be pretty difficult for Tomac to go over at KTM when he just extended his contract with Kawasaki for another 2 years.

Rotors do not bend by them selves. In SX his crash bent the rotor in the national he ran into someone and bent the rotor. Not the bikes fault.
