I see Eli as a prime contender for a 26 supermini title too. Those kids are fucked.
its not "eli out at yamaha"
if it indeed happens. show some respect :0
its "yamaha out at house of Eli"
I doubt majority don't ride.
I could be wrong though... I usually am actually.
Ran across this Eli vid from years ago

Be interesting to see if Tomac faces the same shock issues Sexton is dealing with on the KTM. Eli’s riding style will definitely put some Heat in a shock.
I think chases shock issues are more like a brain fade issue. Always got to have something to point the finger at.
I don't think you're wrong, but I do think there is also a segment of buyers who will literally buy a certain brand because they think the replica graphics kit of their favorite rider is "sick." So, in essence, they are buying that brand because of a rider/team.
This sport/hobby attracts ALLLLLL the kinds of people lol
It's not only chase that has that issue on the team.
I’d bet KTM fabbing up that ridiculous carbon cooling wing for the shock hints that there was some data that confirmed the shock was experiencing high temperatures.
The success of Eli, Deegan, Craig, Barcia, and Webb, plus Ferrandis on Yamaha keeps me in the BluCru camp. I could be swayed to a different brand, but their successes keep me riding Blu. Yamahas are bad ass!
Didn't AP say in post race interview he also changed shocks this past weekend and that was why he got off to slow start in the main? You guys sure this is only an issue for chase?
Barcia has publicly stated he had the same issue as Chase.
The WP curse....
In the swapmoto kickstart podcast they’re talking about that there already is a different bike in Cortez, anyone more info?
Can someone jog my memory please, other than in mini bikes when did Eli win on a Suzuki?
I just watched that, and they also made it sound like maybe a personal deal in the works?
Also stated he seen some graphics at Eli's that he probably wasn't supposed to see over the winter!
I would imagine Eli has the kind of pull to make this work the same way Reed did.
Pit Row
They really beat around the bush on the Swap pod. Was he referring to Triumph with seeing graphics?
Didn't I read here or somewhere else that Triumph bluntly replied to the Tomac question by saying that "we aren't prepared for a rider like Eli Tomac"?
Then again...things change.
I wonder if all this swapping bikes means that Eli won't be racing outdoors
Well he’s contractually obligated to.
So what graphics did they see?
So someone I know, kids race supermini, who has some good friends that work for SX said Eli will likely be on a different bike for outdoors. Done deal and it is Austrian and Orange. Bikes are in Cortez
"likely" ≠ "done deal." If he goes orange that's a huge scoop for the crew in Mattighofen.
If Eli is on Star this summer, do we potentially lose him amd Chase as options for the MXdN? As they will both be sorting out new bikes.
It’s a bit of a hike from Littleton to Cortez, but some spy pics would be cool. 😎
KTM makes the most sense of the options that seem available.
Ran across another older Eli vid:
For the sake of all holy fuck I hope that doesn’t happen.
Ducati is what I've heard. I don't think it would be a good idea on any front but thats what I'm hearing.
Post a reply to: Eli out at Yamaha?
