SometimesWright Added a reply to Eli Tomac Drop-Off
7/12/2025 1:16pm He hasn’t gelled with the bike at all during MX. Star engines blowing up left and right then it finally happens to him. I don’t think he trusts the bike right now. Regardless of what he’s dealing with, having Jett blow by him going up Mt Martin has got to hurt.

7/8/2025 5:01pm Similar experience here as a former tech and service manager. We would have limited our financial exposure given the situation, but would have made a real attempt at making things right for the customer. Triumph has impressed me so far, so I hate to hear this is happening. I’ve personally witnessed multiple jap manufactures in denial, so it’s not a...

7/7/2025 12:54am Based on all the interviews I've seen, Eli wants (maybe needs) to challenge himself against this new generation. I don't think his motivation to win has changed at all. Behind the scenes, I think he is pissed. That program is not operating on the elite level that is required to win the 2025 MX title. In 2022, he and chase...

7/7/2025 12:29am Jett is that guy right now. People are overreacting about Eli, but like you I'm optimistic about this move to KTM. The adjustment to a steel frame will not be easy, but after witnessing his chassis/suspension setup this summer in MX I think there is a lot left to be desired that the KTM could offer.
SometimesWright Added a reply to What a statement ride by the 18
7/7/2025 12:08am We've had so many people fall off the back of a group up front recently and end up racing theirselves for the last 15 minutes of a moto. Meanwhile, Jett doesn't need to latch onto the leaders to see their pace or mirror their lines. He's very selective when it comes to risk management. The bike setup, his technique, and...
SometimesWright Added a reply to Ducati/Cairoli………what ya think, comments please
7/6/2025 7:03pm AC being competitive this weekend on a near stock bike was great to witness. Yes, there is a performance decline in your 30's. Looking around at the longevity of athletes in other sports and the advancement of recovery, it was only a matter of time before people in our sport started testing those waters. While not a threat to win...

7/6/2025 6:29pm Despite the downvotes, I think this is a legitimate take. Yamaha has positioned themselves as the most reliable brand in Dirtbike manufacturing for many years now. The amount of failures seen this MX season does not meet the standard that Yamaha has set. It's past time for Engineering to jump in and right the ship. Time for an in-depth FRB.

The suspension is so bad it damaged the engine internals.

7/5/2025 9:58pm I think a more pertinent question is why is Yamaha suffering this many mechanical failures this summer. I’m honestly shocked.

7/1/2025 2:43pm Excellent analysis! Jett’s consistency is lethal

6/28/2025 10:50pm I am also surprised the other mfgs have yet to figure this out. Jett and Hunter are clearly elite starters, but their 450s are another level off the gate.
SometimesWright Added a reply to Could this be the turning point for prado
6/28/2025 10:43pm Correct. Bike was on skates at times today. They definitely made progress over the last two weeks, but still not there yet. The crash in moto two was fear of running into the lapper imo.
SometimesWright Added a reply to What was that about? (Jett)
6/28/2025 10:37pm This is exactly what happened. Jett intentionally wants to break the field mentally at their best tracks and today was no different.

6/28/2025 10:17pm Good to see signs of life from Prado today. RJ continues to impress. Expected more from AP. Eli's performance was not up to par. Jett and Hunter are dialing in the Honda. Statement ride from Jett. His confidence has to be unmeasurable at this point. Chase coming back next week will add quality depth to the field. Tony debuting the...
SometimesWright Added a reply to Jett vs Eli braking bumps
6/2/2025 6:59pm Depends on the individual section from what I’ve seen so far. It’s also worth noting that neither rider has dialed their chassis/suspension setup at this time. It’s typically a toss up on who’s technique and lines are faster. With that said, Eli’s style is more susceptible to error given how close he is to the edge both figuratively and literally...

2/12/2025 11:41am It’s not often that I am at a loss for words, but this is one of those times. Racing a Pro Supercross Main Event on the most brutal track of the year with a broken leg is INSANE. Eli Tomac was already one of the greatest riders ever. This elevates him higher. That’s one tough SOB
