Hoping he goes great. I'm like the other guy. Battling with marchbanks for that tip five. If jcoop is back throw him in there as well. Top 4 with starts are pretty solid right now.

I bet Et3 doing these rounds for better smx seeding

 He is about to drop out of the top ten there in combined points.

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

Can we just let him get gate drops and two 30 min Motos in. He might be in the top 5. Maybe. But I bet he's going to be top 10. And that's a major plus coming back at his age. I'm the biggest supporter of ET3. But let's be realistic. Enjoy and respect whatever happens

I think 6th-8th is realistic. The guy crashed out of his last two races on the first lap and probably has not been riding long. Crashes make you back it down some for a few races. It is just human nature to do so. Unless you are 19 years old.

I am thinking he and Deegan will entertain us going for the last podium spot

Love to see this.  Any chance he would do Nations maybe this one last time?  Options for the team are pretty slim unfortunately with injuries and team switches.  Hopefully his presence on the team could be a catalyst for Deegan to suit up.  No idea who the 250 rider might be, Beaumer?

Jumping in mid season is hard so might need a race or two to find his race pace fitness but awesome he is back!!!!

First race back after a pretty nasty yard sale... idk.. maybe 6th or 7th. I can't see him coming out and charging around 3rd or 4th but happy to be proven wrong

Definitely top 15, probably 7-10. He's missed a lot of time since 23 and even if he hasn't lost any speed on the test track being with 39 other guys on the first lap will probably bother him more than he expects. I'd be surprised if he beats Garrett, I'd be very surprised if he beats Prado and Deegan. No way he beats the brothers.

Tomac is running top 5 overall unless he crashes out.

I rate him as a podium chance. Though Deegan and Prado might have the edge in first couple motos back.

Some of you guys are the same ones that were posting that Kiefer was going finish top 20 when he rode that national a  few years ago.

Beaumer is French and Tomac is only coming back to give Marchbanks some PAYBACK!!

Agree with most - so stoked to see him back, and realistically he is a top 3 lock on a normal day, but I believe its unrealistic to expect that podium right away.

Let's remember that he's had a very turbulent 3 or so months and actually has very, very limited race laps in that time. He's still not yet raced the KTM outdoors beyond qualifying and half a race lap at Pala.

I argue a top 5 would be a solid result, then work forwards from there towards the last few races. Remember he had a terrible Milville last year also.

Would love nothing more for him to be in the fight, especially with Deegan.  Let's GO!
