there was a lot of tomac is done threads and comments about he'll never win again blah...blah..blah. 

he deserves better. so many were so quick to jump on him when the guy has been a class act every moto of his career. He doesn't ride dirty and he puts in mega effort every season. he has gifted us with many beast modes over the years. Last nite he was in it to win it and he was there to capitalize just like sexton was last season.

sick of shit posts quick to shit on these guys when they are down. so heres a ttoast to Tomac for makin these guys eat crow

I think things are playing out as the universe intends.  None of us have a clue.  I'm chuffed for Eli.

4 downvotes and nobody mentions Jett getting docked 2 positions meaning Tomac would of taken the win anyway? I can't even lob an easy home run to you nerds. Maybe well try tee ball next time.

Well it didn’t matter if Jett won the third one anyway. Did I change your mind?

45 years of watching and reading about moto makes me think alot of these fans are new to the sport and/or they're young. Jett and Deegan obviously have brought them here.They don't know what they don't know. The pitfalls of moto, especially Supercross, are numerous. It's like crossing a field full of landmines, and the seasoned fan knows to plug their ears, while the others just drive full speed ahead, damn the torpedoes!

Eli's best season in Supercross was last year until it wasn't. With a very manageable points lead and three races left, disaster struck! Painful to watch, and we've seen it time and time again.

If you're not old or young well shame on you for not respecting the sport and its riders more feverishly.

Even if Jett HAD won race 3 and Tomac got second, Tomac would have still won the overall. 
 

I’m guessing math isn’t your strong suit? 🤔

It was a topic discussed by all the moto media podcasts not just by the Vitards. Nobody said Eli was a POS and a bad person. I don't know why you feel the need to defend his character. And everyone that wondered whether he would win again, I garauntee was happy last night to see him win. They were happy to be wrong. Relax

If Eli would have passed Jett straight up for the win in the second race we would have a lot more to talk about.

Well said. There’s nothing wrong with being new to the sport, unless you’re trying to tell guys that have been racing for 20, 30, 40 years that they don’t know what they’re talking about.

110%  Tomacs always been a class act. 

The stupidity and disrespect aimed at one of the greatest of all time has been shameful.
 

Some clowns got served their just desserts after last night.

Maybe we would not have doubted Tomac so much if he would have told us he was riding the past three weeks with an ankle injury like he stated at the post-race press conference last night. None of us knew he was injured, yet he was. What else could we assume other than something was amiss with the bike/him whatever, he didn't say he was injured. Who can guess who the hell else is injured in this veil of secrecy that is pro motocross, Mookie?, Anderson?

Eli is not wanting the competition to see any chinks in his armor. He's old school in that sense. The Champions are headstrong and ultra competitive and hate showing any weakness to the competition. The mental gymnastics they play takes discipline.

No shit. I was just stating everyone doubted him because he was riding injured, and nobody knew he was injured. Of course, I and everyone else know why he didn't state he was injured at this point; the cat is out of the bag now. This shit has been going on forever, we know why riders don't say they are injured. But nobody had any idea why his riding since Daytona had been bad previously until last night's post-race news conference informing of the injury. Nobody knew Tomac was injured, that is why there was all the speculation of his collapse. Were we to guess he was injured? So are we just to assume Mookie, Anderson, and whoever else is having a bad few races is injured too even if they don't state so?

Was he? Jett got caught in that mess the first main and was back around 9th. Jett made a charge to almost catch him in a short main. Second main Eli was close but got dropped to 4sec by the end. Again, in a shortened main. Eli was great last night. On par? No

I think the best part of the evening was that Eli pulled up on Jett and got it down to feet. He's nursing an injury too. I saw a guy who was hungry so I'm thinking outdoors maybe??

Eli could've passed him easy in the 2nd race. But it looked like he was watching him. Then after being only 1 second behind for majority of the race he thought "big picture" and saved some energy for moto 2, since he's 12 YEARS OLDER. Then put it to them in the 3rd race. Even if they left Moto 2 results alone 1-2-1 wins it. Jett wasn't going to catch him in Moto 3 if the T-Bone didn't happen. He would've had to go thru everybody. Something he still hasn't done.

I never said anything about him being done, but man, it was painful the past couple of races seeing him run around in 7th(ish) +/-.  I guess we are seeing he is mortal and definitely not pushing things and racing smart.  It sure was nice to see him back on the top of the box!

I think you give this forum way too much credit. My thread is not responsible for pissing him off and firing him up so he wins again. If that was the case then you’d have to thank me… Wink
