what's up with the smoke coming out of eli's bike this year? i'm guessing it's just blow by coming out of the breather, but still. adam's bike doesn't seem to have that issue.

and just like that, he's gone again... sad.

time to burn some necks!!

man, so happy he followed up with this. i'm diggin these a lot!

sooooo where's the breakdown for st louis?? was this a one time deal?

i'm not and never have been a huge stew fan, but this was great. love hearing his insight. maybe he can be the fill in for the hole emig left???

huge props to him for giving it another shot after the big get off he had. i hope he makes it through the entire night show and gets to experience the whole race. i'm always impressed when the euro guys come over and give SX a shot. our SX tracks are so much more technical than the tracks they race and it takes a lot of balls and skill to go mix it up with minimal practice and testing. i hope this sparks more guys to come over and mix it up a bit as i think the top tier guys in america are getting a little stale to watch. would love to see more MXGP guys bringing over their style, they definitely have the endurance and speed.

also on 2 different bikes. one with a stock exhaust and one with full pro circuit. stock bike looks like the smoker.

was this a commercial for monster hydro or a behind the scenes of austin's training? can't tell.

squid friese riding all over the place changing lines and stopping in the middle of turns.

i really feel like milestone is screwing us all here. the game only came out a year ago and now we're being talked into buying essentially the same game over again only to gain eli tomac and 2018 tracks. they should have done the right thing and just released a patch to update the game and include eli and then made the 2018 tracks purchasable downloads. they lost a customer here.
