Which Tomac will show up is the real question 

The one who won’t take unnecessary risk before outdoors would be who I’d like to see. Hard to think that way as a racer though.

Rumor is he's riding the 27 to make his decision soon...

Tomac won 4 Rounds this year, so far. Can we at least let him do his thing? He's at the end of his career. He's old school and private. Doesn't say much to the media or the Podcasters. I know guys like Weege, Lewis, Matthes etc love verbally pissing on Eli as much as they can because he's quiet and doesn't give them anything but that's just him. Asking which Tomac shows up is completely belittling to one of the best of the Sport. There's always more to it.

Yeah he won 4 rounds and then was riding around outside the top 5 I feel like it's a fair question who shows up Beastmode or Chokemac? He's been like this his whole career.

Wah wah wah... Same one that for the most part has likely kicked your guys arse for years now🙄. Who's gonna line up at Denver that has had a better career?? It's like if the guy doesn't win every race he's a loser. I nominate you for Vit-erd of the month.

Yes I'm tired of it.

Tomac has been treated very well by the motocross media for how many times he's mentally imploded

Was the scoop the reason for his crash?

I'm just saying he's an enigma. That's a completely neutral statement no need to get butt hurt about it for how bad ass Tomac is his fans are apparently soft

That is about next year….Matthes said he was riding the 27 to see about the changes for next year and to make a decision about racing next year.

He can ride it all day long, MX Guy didn't say he was racing it.  So, yes he can.

Happy but worried, happy he’s back, worried knowing he hasn’t gotten out of that stadium healthy since his 2022 title there, excluding last year.

Will Tomac throw a wrench in the works between Roczen and Hunter?

Let's say Hunter is leading, Tomac is second with Roczen 3rd, Will Tomac back it off to let Roczen go by??

I got a gut feeling that he will come out swinging and he will get the W.

Tomac, Webb and JCoop, that’s at least three guys that have the potential to get between Kenny and Hunter. They may decide the championship.

No, he won't. Not his style at all. He will race his race, and others he damned.

Tomac won 4 Rounds this year, so far. Can we at least let him do his thing? He's at the end of his career. He's old school and private. Doesn't say much to the media or the Podcasters.

Asking which Tomac shows up is completely belittling to one of the best of the Sport. There's always more to it.

Verbally pissing on him? By asking questions and wondering why the guy was dominating the first half of sx and completely fell off a cliff the second half? As you said he doesn't say much to the media so people will speculate. I guess AC and Brayton were belittling him too by asking those same questions.

No, AC and JB or anyone asking is not unfair. But as we have seen its just speculation. Lewis, Weege and Matthes like to spread a narrative and that's fine. They are trying to entertain a sector of the sport. Tomac doesn't care or is unaware and is just a private guy. Maybe he was sick during a mid-season slump. Maybe he went the wrong way in his set up on some those odd mains and had to ride at 70% because he's smarter from getting injured in the past. Or he's injured or that scoop burned him in a few of those mains. Who knows. He just does what he does over the years, and it's been a pretty incredible career.
