Dude rips at Millville and I don't think he comes back unless he's close to 100%. Podium is likely.

Don't think he's beating the brothers, and I could see him and Deegs going 3-4/4-3.

Can't wait to see how he compares to Prado and Deegan. Anyone think he can hang with the Lawrence bros?

I'm surprised, I thought he likely won't be back until SMX, that was a scary crash. But very cool to see him back, he wouldn't line up if he didn't feel ready. Always makes racing better

I predict he takes it easy and slots in right between the top 3-4 and Marchbanks. 4th or 5th overall.

I think you are right for the first couple. Hes good at shougal. If its going to happen that he mixes with a Lawrence, it would most likely be there. 5th would be great this weekend I think. Then I think he puts his sights on that 3rd place position.

If it wasn’t his first national on the ktm I’d say 3rd. If he gets top 5 start he podiums

After not paying much attention to pro moto for many years, I got back into it during Supercross in 2015.  I'm a Honda guy, so I started paying attention to him.  Then he had that awesome start to 2015 MX before getting hurt.  So he's basically been my guy as long as I've been following the sport closely.  I know the end is near.  It's going to be a bummer when Tomac is gone for good.  But I will enjoy whatever he's got left for us.

Great news! Hope he's not coming back at less than 100%. If he is...I don't see why he couldn't nail a 3rd easily.

I just wana see him back racing no matter where he slots in , it is a tough ask for him to go beat the Lawrence bros & deegs right now while he’s just coming back & each week those 3 are in battle form

If he gets injured in the first turn again, I'll probably rip the TV off the wall.

He’s been away for a bit.  My giess is that he’d like to spin some laps, get a couple starts under his wings and end on a positive day. 
Assume that a top 10 would be a goal at those point considering everything. 
glad he is back.

Sooner than I expected!! I think top 5 is possible, but I expect his fitness to be a little lower and that it'll take him a couple rounds to be up to full race pace, I'd be pleasantly surprised if he beats Jorge or Deegan, and definitely don't expect him to be up there with Jett and Hunter for awhile. I think by Unadilla though after the break he could be a real factor and make things a little more interesting for the Lawrence Bros and their own championship battle. Can't wait to see him on KTM!

Millville is always good - hope the humidity is down some, looking forward to it.

I think it's more likely he's battling with Marchbanks than Prado and Deegs.
