I want to see all of you guys fall hard in a race like that and see how fast you pick that 450 up and kick it over to get going again.
All of us guys are not world
Class athletes. I believe the OP is asking this question because Tomac continues to show zero urgency to get back in the race whenever he hits the ground

Better question is why wouldn't he.

Tomac claimed after the race in the pits that “ He was getting too close to taking over the red plate and he rides better when he is the predator “ he just wanted to get his head in attack mode, so he had a slight tip over. As Ralph Shaheen always says. Everyone is afraid of Tomac going on an extended winning streak. He is just mentally preparing for the 12-0 run he plans on putting up.

A Carny at a ball toss game once told me you gotta get it up to get it in.

It’s all between the ears. He needs a good sport psychologist. I’d work with him for free if I have the chance.

None of them got to the top by taking advice from Vitards?

Some of you are crazy. He had to roll the finish and had he done that in the middle of the pack and got landed on you'd all be sitting here saying how dumb of an idea it was and how he should have waited. No doubt races like NJ last year he had the urgency of a sloth when he went down but I thought this situation was quite clear.

Letting Grant by in the beginning put him in the position to get taken out by Barcia..
Grant rides Tomac hard and then crashed on his own anyway...
If Grant has of settled down and slotted in behind Tomac this would of changed the entire race.
Tomac doesn’t cope well when flustered in traffic.

He got taken out by Barcia, did any of you vitards even watch the full race? Or just the highlights? Let's see your main event results.

Ha, It’s great when people share their vast knowledge.
Your parents aren’t gonna tell u or show you any moves.

Don’t go near the Tilt A Whirl guy though.

(I loved Bradshaw, he was as cool as Don Johnson). Seen him race in Tampa on a 125. He was flying, and then crashed, got a 2nd to MXKied.

I don’t know about his health, but a magic button would certainly be an advantage, duh.

Especially if u r in an awkward position, the camera does zero justice to the tracks slopes.

I’m old, so no button no deal. Especially when you would have to be Cirque de Soliel member to even reach the kickstart.
For MX’ers, they would seem like a no brainer.

Give it a push to fire up that hot four stroke and start bogeying again.
That way your momentum and mind don’t come discombobulated like an anvil falling.

Come on Kawi, get on that.

It must be extremely frustrating being a Tomac fanboy.

Wrong. Try again. He was falling over into Barcia. You won't see my race results because I didn't race. Thanks for asking though.

i think what mcelrath did was worse.. pulled off cuz he was in a little bit of pain and had to get yelled at to go back out there, and he rode just fine after that.. way to give up a championship..

Hahaha, that's awesome....would love to hear a podium interview after that...."Had a great week of training, we had the entire monster energy kawi crew out there showing me how to pick the bike up off the ground and get it started quickly...most people don't get how difficult it is because the other riders make it look so easy, I've struggled with it my entire career but we're finally seeing some results."

Seriously. This guy crashes and takes forever to get going most the time. Zero urgency. Just taking his sweet time. Every time he goes down he’s last. It shouldn’t be this way. Look at Musquin and Seely tonight. Right back up. This is not an isolated incident with Tomac or else I wouldn’t bring it up.
