This is it man. Same bike, just with some stickers on it. It's been out for a year now.

The Eli we see today is a mature veteran. Not much is gonna shake him. As long as Roger has input...Eli will be given everything the team has to offer. He doesn't need his hand held or motivational pep talks. He may not beat Jett but you're not gonna hear any excuses. Dude is a boss.

So, any rumblings of Eli’s plans for 2026?

Yep, the morans came out to play and jacked this thread. I didn’t see Eli signing with KTM for the same reason it appears Chase is leaving…. But does the Bajaj buyout solve that problem??

My personal answer to that is because he has been the happiest and best version we ever had of ET. Sure He was great on red and green but when he got on the Yamaha, He became a man of the people and having fun again.

Let's be honest, Tomac has more speed over Webb indoors and out. Seems like that's what teams value the most these days. I'm a Webb fan but his chances of winning another indoor title are way down if all the competition is on the line.

Doesn't make sense. Eli showed he's the only one currently that can match the speed of the guy that wasn't born on Earth and is the FMOTP. Deegan is an unknown on a 450. Tomac's stock should be sky high.

Re: Webb racing outdoors, so he should. He is paid to race and be the next big dog for Yamaha right? What did Eli do after he won the 450 SX championship for Yamaha? He backed it up with an outdoor title and what should have been another SX title. This year his speed has been as good as we have seen. If I had to choose, I know who I would be locking in. Regardless, whilst I wait to hear where who he races for next year, I am going to sit back and enjoy this series, if round...

I don't have a video because I was too busy watching, but I was about 20ft away from the corner going up that gnarly uphill abomination and Tomac was absolutely beating the fuck out of his clutch trying to catch Jett. So cool to see up close.

All I can sy is the man can make the Yamadog bark like no other!!

Good point. Tomac has been at or near the top of 450 for 10 years. Jett is a beast, but has also shown he's at least, if not more fragile.

Jett wasn’t able to defend his 450MX title due to injury. He wasn’t able to defend his SX title due to another injury. Roczen has been hurt. Webb delivered his first title since 21’. He’s missed time with his back and thumb injuries. All these guys have been hurt at one point or another.

He's also winning races in either series if he's there. How many other guys can deliver on that? 3? Jett, Sexton, Coop.

He didn't finish SX in '23 because of a fluke injury at the next to last round with a huge points lead, essentially gifting the title to Sexton, but yeah you're right i guess.

Guys, I’m pretty sure the Star 250 team budget has nothing to do with the 450 budget. Cutting Daxton Bennick and Michael Mosiman isn’t gonna get Tomac his $$$.
