Tomac SX Wins Count-Up

The way he railed that sand section to pass jett, was insane. Eli looks like pre achilles eli.

Before the season I found it hard to believe people like JB and AC were writing him off. The second most winning SX rider. I guess they felt that because they couldn't do it at that age that Eli couldn't?? 54 wins and counting is impressive.

The old guard of Sx simply cannot fathom how much better these current athletes are at managing fatigue and recovery. Even in Ricky’s day and up to about the early 2010s, most professional sports like cycling used a “run into a brick wall until you give up” method of training. Both cycling and in turn supercross has seen a good 5-10 hour drop in weekly hours of training, focused more on intensity and smart recovery. I remember training for XC mtb nationals  and guys were doing 30-35 hour weeks on the bike at like 17. Now it’s more like 25. It’s why the entire grid isn’t close to as burnt out as guys like RD or Ricky were by the same age. Not only that, but the mentality of supercross has shifted from guys like Ricky, James, RV2 and Chad for example,  who were driven more by either narcissism or chips on their shoulder… to a more healthy drive with a slightly stronger focus on simply enjoying the process in order to win. Champions used to give up because they had been beaten down by the process, nowadays they go until they just feel like doing something else. 

Do we see #60 this year??? 6 from the remaining 16?

Id bet Ktm is working on getting him signed for next year already

I like AC and JB both. They seem like great dudes and roles models but they have pretty silly takes sometimes. 

Tomac is also now only the second rider to win on four different brands.

5 more from 15 😎

A little fun fact/trivia here - the current longest podium contender in SX is Kenny. At the end of the year it will have been more than 14 years since his first 450 Supercross podium. To put this in percspective, if some other famous riders had similarly long podium-level spans, it would mean:

1: Ryan Villopoto would get his last podium during the 2023 Supercross season 
2: Jeff Stanton would’ve battled with Ricky Carmichael for the 2001 SX title
3: Travis Pastrana would’ve been going at it with Ken Roczen for the 2016 outdoor championship before retiring

Tomac is honestly all time.

Carmichael 

Tomac 

RV 

McGrath 

I'd even go as far as to say Tomac beats Carmichael because of longevity, people were writing him off when he moved to star

And the Aldon baker advantage the others had, before it all caught on. Tomac’s have done it all by themselves, on 4 brands now. 
And the earlier Jett catching MC talk…doubt Jett will catch Tomac. 

I think for the first time, MC is starting to take notice that somebody might approach 72. He's probably not sweating it yet, because 15 more wins is still a long way to go, but it is possible now. 

Eli only has to win at this rate for another year and a half to get there. 

If Jett misses significant time again next year the door is open for Tomac to make a run at the record. 

no & no , thts tht lebron argument everybody is using against MJ cause bron’s longevity has gotten him to surpass MJ in alotta of personal accolades stats but just like MJ still has more titles  than bron , it’s the same for moto , RC still has way more titles than Eli so no don’t even dare put Eli close to RC 

It will be much harder to win at this rate after this yr. I don’t think he gets to 72 because he will retire. If he rode another two years, he might.

I was standing in the inside of that corner when he hit that and you could feel the entire earth shake, absolute core memory

I cant believe he is only 15 for MC, that's crazy

If Eli stays healthy, Jett continues to get hurt every year, and Sexton continues down whatever path he has been going down for the last 10 months, he has a chance.   Other than Hunter the rest of the contenders are pretty old also, and I'm not sure deagan will be fast enough next year yet to take many wins from him.  

If Hunter can't force his way into the conversation and become a consistent winner, and if Webb doesn't catch fire, I can see Eli taking a LOT more wins this season. 9 races to go; I don't see him winning them all, but I bet he can take 5-6 more. 

I think he’ll end up at 62-63.
