Will Tomac?

63

End of this season.....61.

Depends if he hits his annual mid year slump or not.

Would be cool but looking at webbs progress of the past weeks its scary, he does it all the time. Like literally closer and closer to the front each round until he is the man to beat.

Think Tomac has him covered in speed but Webb does look better!!

From what we have seen so far is that Tomac appears to have an edge over the competition. He has been pretty good everywhere. 

He could have had a pretty good points lead if it wasn't for a few mishaps.

At least six more wins for him this SX season. I have no doubt about that.

tomac is good at fast tracks, seattle is a slow wet technical track and he still got first...im hopeful

For him to have less than a dozen races on a new bike, he’s doing awesome and should only get better with experience.  

Let's go Eli! Keep on racking em up!

IMO without the crashes at Houston and Glendale, he would have won both of those rounds as well. 

Tomac caught, passed, and dropped Webb. For now, the only person beating Tomac, is Tomac. Of course things can change. But he really looks good this year. 

And that was one of Webb's best track/conditions. 

100%

Thought this was going to be about Tomac bangin Will Christien

As cool as it would be to see, I don't think he will catch McGrath, but man, MC has to be slightly sweating just a little. 😅

From speculation the 2022 achilles was all she wrote for the career of the #3, to questions on retirement again in the 2025 post season in a McGrath-esq Bud Light KTM repeat, to STILL straight up being the baddest dude on a dirt bike in 2026. 

WTF man. 

I think A2 has been the only round so far where Tomac wasn't the fastest guy. Of course, you need to get starts and not make mistakes, so no excuses for his final results in Houston or Glendale. But, he looked pretty invincible at those tracks on a speed basis. If he can just get an average main event start in the 3rd-5th range, I truly think he can win the majority of the races left. He's always been great in SX, but there have been a few years where he really stood out and looked to be firing on all cylinders. To me, those years are 2017 (save East Rutherford), 2020, 2022, and now, 2026. He was looking spicy to start 2025 as well, but it was a little hard to make any strong judgement since he got hurt after 4 main events.

I'm a huge MC fan but he really downplayed ET3 in the preseason interviews. Has anyone openly admitted to eating crow yet that wrote him off this preseason? I know AC and JB had similar takes on Eli as well.

AC and JB both said they fucked up underestimating tomac lol

He gets gets close that's for sure.

I can see why he wasn't and isn't ready to hang it up yet. Why he told Star he wanted to keep going what?, 2 or 3 years ago already. And then move to KTM because he still feels it inside. 

I've underestimated him. But 6 more wins this season is a tall ask. 

I said no in the pole because 6 more wins is a lot to ask, BUT I will say that I want to see him take MC's record in the worst way. Im routing for Eli to win ALOT more

If Tomac wins the SX title this year he will move into 5th all time in SX behind Dungey 4 titles, Villopoto 4 titles Carmichael 5 titles and MC 7 titles. No one with three titles has more wins than Tomac. 

I thought he was at 56 after this weekend? 4 for the balance of the season isn't much at this rate.

Tomac had Glendale on lock until Craig went down in front of him.  Yes his start was mid pack but he had the speed to cover no problem.

He's won 3 of 6 so far and probably should have won 4 or 5.  If he's gotten his bad luck out of the way and goes on a tear the rest of the season he could realistically win 6-8 of 11 remaining rounds putting him at 62 to 64 wins.  One more amazing season or 2-3 mediocre (by his standards) ones and he's at or past 72. 

IMHO, Tomac could make a run at it if he keeps riding the way he is (can see him getting into the low 60s by season end), but getting close to MC will be tough due to 1 exception - Jett.  When Jett gets back and IF he can stay healthy, that will make it tough to catch MC.  If it weren't for Jett's return looming at some point, MC would absolutely be sweating.  If Jett injures himself again (which is quite possible) and Eli keeps doing what he's doing right now, we could be witnessing history in the making. 

I admit I did as well. I thought age had caught up with him and would not be comfy on the KTM. So glad I was wrong. 

Can see a few more outdoor wins coming too. I put him second best ever.
