After 1 round that’s quite the assumption. Give it a couple rounds for them to do some homework and we will see.

Side note: He is now running PSF1 Air forks like the rest of the team. He wasn’t running those on a Kawi.

Nah, just sick of the people who blame Tomacs lack of results on the Kawi while the other riders are doing just fine on it. And then they think that the Yamaha will be some magical fix, that he would pull of great starts and dominate from the first time at the track because of Ferrandis great summer.

Tomac had the tools all the time, it’s in his head and not the bike. Explain to me how he could ride around in 10th place the first moto at some nationals this summer and then come out swinging the second moto and winning it by 20 seconds on the same bike?
I agree with that completely.

Tomac without “beast mode”. Is just like any other rider. I think having a family and alot to lose is the cause, not the team or bike.

People act like it was a decent night like he's Mookie or something, this is Tomac we are talking about.

He's the fastest out there and he will have a race like previous years that he is indeed the fastest but his whole career in SX he's been like that he's flakey as.

Even in MX his last championship he made it so much harder than it has to be.
The irony of your post is that mookie was the fastest qualifier

After some clicker adjustments, you'd be surprised. Whistling

After 2 rounds, Tomac is sitting in a pretty good position.

After two rounds it’s the same Tomac as always but on a blue bike and his old bike just won a race..

I bit like same old Webb on his new KTM at A1 2019 when Barcia won on his old bike. How'd that play out?

So you are a firm beliver in that it was the kawi that was holding Tomac back and the Yamaha is some miracle fix?

Didn’t Tomac get the fastest lap of the night? Pretty comfortable IMO.

No not at all. Just pointing out these scenarios have played out in the past and it's to early to make any bold prediction on how the story unfolds.

Since most people have blamed the bike for over a year, even if AC have rode great on it both SX and outdoors, and now Ando wins his second race on it.

I just want to see this shit go away, accept that Tomac will forever be an enigma and stop blaming material things for his short commings

I think Tomac has had a solid start to his year. Hasn’t set the world on fire but hasn’t shit the bed. So has a good platform to launch his title fight

You sound pretty emotional over this.
They said on pulp that tomac didn’t like hydraulic clutch and a couple clutch wasn’t a option on the Kawasaki.

Be honest the Kawi was smoking every race for him and failed in him multiple times.

No one never said it wasn’t a good bike

Eli Tomac…no matter what color bike he’s riding…is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.

One thing that is noticeable is that he doesn’t quite have the freakish beast mode he did a few years back period!! Last nite he sat in fourth place for a long time and couldn’t run Barcia down and a few years ago he would of been all over Anderson by the checkered flag!!

It sure looked like Tomac was going to make a run for the win and then he just stopped moving forward. Wonder why?

Not in good enough shape yet maybe? Yes, he had a bad start but he was in a position to win that race when he got to 4th.

Barcia said on the podium he saw Eli coming and had to push harder to stay ahead.

Plenty of people blamed the bike and said it was crap.

But some times ju just have to adapt. Running around on the rev limiter for 35 minutes and just hammering the clutch wont work on any bike when it is a mudder.

He's technically tied for 4th in the standings after 2 races and that's probably his best start to the series in a long time, maybe even his best since his move to the 450 class.
