I hope they’re actually telling us what’s going on and it isn’t one of these deals where he’s just going to give it a try because he won’t be able to get real diagnosis by tonight. 

With betting now in the sport they should have to fully disclose what the injury is tbh

TOMAC!!! retirement bound now. In my opinion he is out of the running for this championship. His best years are behind him. Look on the bright side. With this injury that's going to cost him more points, we won't have to call him Chokemac.

Chill out sad-sack! Get a sense of humour. 

*He was definitely gifted 2023.. don’t care what you say..

There are no GIFTS or ASTERISKS. Bottom line. You gotta be in it to win it. A CHAMPIONSHIP is a CHAMPIONSHIP. Riders crash and get injured every year. The champion at the end of the series is the CHAMPION. Period. Quit making ignorant excuses for your favorite riders misfortune. And it is unfortunate. But it is what it is.

Looks like championship is potentially out of the picture now. Really wanted to see him dominate one more time

He’s going to sneak a few points in tonight.  He is just hanging with the back of back for now.

I’d like your opinion on something… 

If Eli didn’t have that slight mishap which resulted in damaging his Achilles, would Sexton have won the title in ‘23? 

Honest opinion please..

What if Roczen never injured his arms?

What if asking” what if “ was pointless?

If Sexton hadn’t of dropped the bike so much earlier in the season, would Tomac have had the red plate?

See how that works, it doesn’t.

I cried, then prayed that he wasn’t too hurt and nothing was torn or broken.

Ignore the troll.  Responding is providing the attention he's looking for.

 

Gutted for Tomac....what a horrible night for him.

Dropping the bike is a racing error,  Achilles tendon snapping is bad luck.

The way he walked off after the race doesn’t look good. Everything about this points to something more serious than a calf strain. Really hope he didn’t jack up that Achilles again

Oofda, just seen a video of him walking to his bike for the main event gate drop.  Looked like he should be in a wheelchair, not on a YZ 450.

Aren’t repaired Achilles stronger than normal? That’s what I’ve always heard

Wonder if we could pool our money and get Eli a sub to the Moto Academy app.

I think that calf bruise is deep…. It’s going to take all the therapy he can get this week to make it rideable next Saturday.  He’s not going to be 100% and just trying to get all the points he can.  

I hope he’s better than that, but don’t count on it.

Tomac went on a 6 race win streak in 2022, that's 18 points right there

With 12 rounds left he still has a chance

Eli Tomac – Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing #3
“It was a tough day in Tampa. I caught my leg underneath the foot peg on a jump during qualifying, and sprained the top of my ankle and bruised my lower leg. I’m going to do everything possible to get back on the line in Detroit.”

Sometime I think we just have a way to narrow definition of talent. We say talent basically meaning speed and style, but I think talent should encompass many more aspect.  Like the ability to have a crash and not get hurt like Sexton has done quite a few times already, or the grit to train like a dog like RC did.
