All

Race week again, any Vital friends going? I'll be there and I'm pumped. First time for me seeing AMA level racers and track in person, my first supercross in about 20 years, Eli's first race on KTM, Kenny on form, chance to meet my all time favourite rider Jeff Emig - should be a good one!

Huge Eli & Yamaha fan myself. Bummer to see them part ways. So many good memories and I’m for sure going to miss the sound of that Yamaha being abused around the track.

Eli’s Star Era was a sight. I expect he’ll crush it on the Katoom, too.

St. Louis 2022

Honestly he should have the ‘23 title and the ‘25 title too but things happen.

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.

Millville 2022 enough said! Bike wide open every where,Motor revving so loud you could hear it on the tv broadcast about to blow up ! Love the guy, He is great for the sport and hopefully he has a few more wins in the tank on the pumpkin .

The death of the blue pig era happened at A2 in 2022, thanks to Eli. I saw it live, Jan 30th 2022: https://www.vitalmx.com/forums/Moto-Related,20/I-witnessed-a-horrible-d… I'm happy to see Eli get off that fugly black/blue freestyle Yamaha. Deegan can continue to carry the torch for that freestyle looking bike as fits his Mulisha background. But it's about time Eli gets off of it and upgrades his aesthetic on the redbull pumpkin. The fugly black/blue Yamaha has been the ugliest bike in the pits for years and now ranks 10th in the looks department behind all other brands. When is Yamaha going to...

Fine. I’ll fucking do it. What is the test track address. And probably the nearest ER

Morning gents, just to clarify, AP is already signed with us (THOR) for next year. I'll be going back to sleeping at the wheel now 😂

The Tomacs if KTM suggests that he trains with Baker...

There's a multitude of reasons...most notably... Entitlement. There are way too many people in here that feel entitled to know things regardless of "embargoes" or information not being made available due to contractual obligations. No worries. It is what it is. Then there's times where something's posted that's just flat out false...or just wrong. Like recently when I said something along the lines of,"I think it's safe to say that a few of those guys have signed their contracts."...immediately...someone throws some "say who" shade or gives me their angst about NOT saying exactly who...again, no worries. See my "entitlement" explanation...

Mine just says "when does Eli race" lol. This is a tomac house.

It’s wild how quick people forget. A multi-time MXGP World Champion doesn’t suddenly “forget how to ride.” Prado gambled on himself—new country, new culture, new bike, new frame philosophy—and it didn’t click. That’s not weakness, that’s risk. Not one of us is privy to the contract language, so all the supposition only shows who the real fool is. If the story ended at Budds Creek, he’s still a World Champion with a Hall of Fame résumé before most riders even sniff a factory ride. He took the shot most wouldn’t dare, and yeah—it blew up. But motocross history is built...

KTM probably has a few versions of the cable clutch conversion ready to go for ET. As well as some frames and swingarms. And an engine with all the power. Testing this fall at his complex be here soon enough. Can’t wait to see him on that bike. Yamaha’s loss. He isn’t the first rider it’s happened to. Least us fans get to see him race a few more years. Win or lose.
