Nooo, Tomac! Dammit

It ain’t the bike - plenty of speed the first 2 laps, but didn’t jump the leap either time.

Do I think there are issues? Sure. But Jorge, you passed Jett & were running 3rd. Starting pointing the finger of blame at the guy in the mirror 

And Eli’s bike blows up 

Jett with a 2.06 while Plessinger and the rest are 2.11-2.12 (outside of Hunter and Sexton). Unreal.

Tony solid. About to pass Barcia for 8th

Seems like if his mind isn't there, he doesn't bother pushing unfortunately

Nearly 40 year old on a stock bike with fc suspension, what a legend man. Said he doesn't even do 30 min motos anymore

What is the best position a 40 year old has done in a race? 

Oof this reminds me of was it 2018 or 2017 when Tomac's bike blew up first Moto here and Marvin took the plate over.

So glad we’re getting a good two lap look at Paturel cruising in 16th place and missing Hampshire pass AP.

RJ to 3rd…. Kid has really taken to the 450.

John Dowd podiumed twice over the age of 40. 

So impressive with AC running top 10 on pretty much a stock bike. Good look for Ducati too

Zero effort from prado now

I think tomacs bike was slowly blowing up from very early on

Some guys can ride through being uncofortable and some cant. Some can do it for a lap or two. Everybodys internal self preservation mechanism is different. If he feels like he cant go that pace because of the bike, il'll believe. He is no doubt better than what he is showing and what changed, why cant people just believe him when he says the bike isn't working for him. 

Tough to be a fan right now...
Clearly he's struggling but he's not even trying. He's 13 sec off of 3rd. a bit more effort and he'd be there...

John Dowd. 44. 2nd in a moto at Southwick.

Tomac being the fastest guy on the track, quickly catching Jett and his bike let’s go. Sucks 

El Hombre struggling doesn’t mean it’s a bike problem. Nice try though!!! 

Sheesh. When they cut back to Jett from anyone they have the camera on, it looks like he’s riding a completely different track he’s opening it up so much. Almost like he’s on a road bike course, just flowing from corner to corner. 

Yeh 2009 I think,my son got 4th to him.

How many bike probs is star gonna have this year and even last? Theyve had a couple dnf’s and a ton of near misses and juuuuust barely making it. So many times weve had guys limping it home. They gotta get it back under control.

What’s going on with the Star bikes this year?

Fastest? No. 

Check the lap times. He was being dropped by the front two. 

Tomacs bike smoked almost from 1st lap.

He wasn’t catching Jett at all I don’t think. That bike was smoking early.

Chase is starting to find his flow, which is good to see.

Boys 1&2 in title now 🤙
