He got two birds stoned once.
I'd say crack is whack, but we all know Edmond meth is the top shelf stuff. Hand made by Jesus himself.
Also worth noting, if Ducati has more power than all the others, we know Tomac always wants more power, so he may fall in love with it 😁

Can't just let you not get called out for this. He's won 9 supercross races since then and podiumed an additional 13 times outside of that.
Even if you leave out 2023, which I assume you did, he has still won 2 races and landed on the podium 9 times. And yes, he's racked up those numbers without completing those championships. Moran.
Sorry I omitted 2023 SX. I meant to say since the end of 2023 SX.
Nonetheless they aren’t good numbers if he’s trying to land one more big contract.
Yeah and Jett only won a single race in his SX title defense, terrible numbers there as well
In that same period that Eli hasn’t finished a series Jett has won three titles and two SMX titles.
Also Jett’s not at the back end of his career looking for a new contract.
Could be worse.. 😄
Lol the point is look how dumb that argument is.
What has me thinking now…. What does this do for his MXoN effort?? I can see all kinds of conflicts and complexities. He and Sexton might both be off the table due to Monster/Red Bull contract conflicts and potential bike changes.
DAMN!!
So you think that multiple injuries, no completed seasons in two years has no bearing on his ability to get a new contract?
Hasn't he become faster? As in faster than ever? No, 32yr old Eli isn't faster than ever. Does he still have the speed to win titles? Yes. If he can produce it consistently. He went 5-1-7-4 before his injury. All anyone remembers is his win though
Ducati would be sick but hopefully he would only do it if he believed the bike would be competitive. Don't really wanna see my boy Eli ride around in 10th struggling on a brand new platform.
Yamaha/Star is absolutely fumbling the bag by not working something out with Eli. He is 100% beating Webb and Cooper at the vast majority of races until he retires.
I would fire the entire team before I got rid of Eli
Yamahas entire situation is cooked. Webb’s likely gonna win a SX championship, thats gonna run their pockets deep.
Justin Cooper if i can remember is riding for chump change, and how hes been riding he deserves a heavy raise.
Not even to mention Deegan likely coming to 450s for MX 2026.
The situation of Eli being so uncertain about retirement or continuing to race kind of put them in this predicament 😭
I know its trivial, BUT I'd love to see Tomac in a Red Bull lid where he ends up!
Pit Row
When was he faster? Pre-shoulder injury in 2015 MX? It wasn't just his win in San Diego, they remember his speed. The results didn't show the full story, tip over, starts etc., but more often than not, he was the fastest guy on the track and you could visibly see it. To validate that claim, in 3 out of 4 races, he had the fastest lap and he had more passes than any other rider. Did anyone actually pass him in a race all year? If I recall correctly, I actually am not sure anyone did. To me, he looked 100% like the Beast mode of old.
They probably got insurance to cover championship bonuses.
What's the vibe going to be like with Webb and Deegan on Yamaha and dueling in the 450 class? Separate trucks on opposite sides of the pits?
When egos collide...
With it being at Ironman I expect these guys to find a way.
Does Justin Cooper already have a new contract? I can't remember. I'd be willing to let him go if I had a firm commitment from Eli for 26. No disrespect but he would be my odd man out if I were calling the shots.
It's not about JCoop, it's about Deegan coming up and Webb getting his contract renewed IMO. Anyways, even if they could fit in JCoop, it would be for peanuts and not be good enough for Tomac if he were take his place.
I think this is the year for JCoop to get on another brand just to see if the grass is greener anywhere else. Too crowded at Star just with Webb and Deegan and may not be any offer anyways.
I wish that we could see Tomac race the GPs in ‘26 and ‘27, personally. Win or lose, it’d be awesome to see him on those tracks with a real title race to shoot for!
I don’t know how old his kids are, but it could be one of the most memorable things of their lives, looking back on the couple of years that they lived in Europe.
The way that whole team is run, 250 and 450, bothers me.
That was be awesome to see Eli give it a go. Also, I'd look forward to another hilarious vid of Hitler going off.
Not resigning a guy who is going to demand a decent contract this time around does factor imho. Hell I'd also be contemplating whether to keep Webb for that matter. Give Eli a smoking deal for 26, coddle Deegan and keep your hooks in Davies!
Injuries and that is the only reason!
