This is going to go either extremely well, or terribly bad. Either way I'm tuned in.

Nifty.

I think this is going to end well for Yamaha. But I think Ferrandis is now the man to beat.

Blue looks good on him! With the excitement of a new challenge and a bike that just proved it could win, Eli will be scary good in 22. We gotta go to work! 😂

If they would go back to more blue plastic it would help. The black is played out and looks cheap

Agreed. It's a photoshoot and it looks like they gave him Ferrandis' practice bike.

Man to be in the inner circle and hear his thoughts on the bike compared to the factory Kawi would be cool. Obviously the Yamaha has a different feel slightly but after a couple laps it’s gone. For sure interesting to see how this pans out. He seems excited and I think it’s going to be deadly

Cool to see that and now Eli has officially ridden for all 4 Japanese brands.

Looks great. I think a new challenge at this stage of his career is exactly what he needs. I think it will get the best out of him

Excited to see ET steer with the front end again. I think he's gonna be a rejuvenated man on a mission all year.

This is going to be a bigger mistake than Dungey switching to KTM

Exactly what RV said would have helped lengthen his career. Just a new exciting environment to learn and focus on.

Except I can't actually think of a newer, more exciting environment to learn than the one RV ended his career at.

Dude was just done.

Is PPG a personal sponsor of his? I thought it was one of Kawasaki's sponsors, but he still has the logo on his jersey.

Kind of an odd personal sponsor, IMO.
