That’s Philippians 4:8….👍🏻💯

Mathes called the scoop tire Eli's "blankie" in the review pod, Lewis called the scoop tire his "emotional support animal" to Ian Harrison, Eli's boss... This is a grown man we're talking about, and one of the best riders the sport has ever seen, and this is the respect he gets? I think the moto media has gotten a little high on their own farts lately and feel too comfortable taking jabs at the guys out there putting their lives on the line for our entertainment.

That’s modern day life mate. Everyone, everywhere, all the time getting on social media and making a big deal out of absolutely fuck all. Life before the internet and all this childish bullshit was so much better.

I like Lew, he's been a nice addition to moto media. I just find this whole "investigative journalism" stuff pretty gay and a waste of time and energy. Just enjoy the racing, I don't know why we need answers to all the hypotheticals. The amount of time spent each week on podcasts, social media, etc. making predictions and assumptions that usually don't become reality literally a few days later is kind of weird. There's so many variables in motocross, those predictions almost never come true. They spent Sunday - Friday talking about what's going to happen, almost none of it...

I see Ryan Dungey being supportive and reassuring. Probably more of a “you got this” conversation rather than a technical breakdown. They have both been under championship pressure. Ryan is one of the few people in the world who can relate to the emotions Eli must be going through.

What I stated wasn't as a "superfan" (although Eli, Jo ,Casey Cochran and Villo are/were my favorites) , I stated what I feel is common sense . At this stage of his life and career , I don't think he needs to share any personal information that he doesn't feel comfortable with. He's earned that right. At least from me -- I'm definitely not someone who feels "entitled" like some of these people on here. If Roczen, Eli, or Webb announced tomorrow that they were retiring, I would not go on a rampage and blowing up Vital demanding to know...

Correct--- 16 years of Pro racing , he's already cemented his legacy and has done quite well for his 'sponsors' and amassed tens of thousands of fans over the years .Not sure if him keeping his personal business/issues/injury between him,his family and employers at this point will tarnish anything.lol

entitled to your opinion but don't think it applies here. Tomac's legend is etched into the history books and fans and sponsors are not jumping off the bandwagon as he rolls towards retirement on his own terms.

I’m of the opinion that he’s most certainly has a physical issue,NOT a mental one . A mental roadblock would have him looking fine on the bike but just not hitting lines or pushing hard , but this issue has his body positioning way ‘off’ indicative of protecting an injured body part . Also I 100%agree with you RD , he doesn’t owe US any explanation, just his team and sponsors. He is old school and doesn’t really have that strong social media mindset that requires people to post every meal they eat etc. Us old timers would never show...

He's a grown man that may just have different priorities and personal standards than people who live through socials and "sharing" absolutely everything about their lives with the universe.

It's posts like this that make me dislike this forum How the f**k is it "embarrassing?" How you have the nerve to say that about someone with more talent, character and tenacity than you would ever have in 10 lifetimes is simply beyond me

Well, everything was going fine until Al Gore created the internet, and here we are.

Tomac is for sure fighting something. Just let Cooper by with no fight. Not like him at all.

I'm just here to give a thumbs up to Profesh125s posts.

When you realize there are people more important than you. Placing the needs of others before yourself is a milestone into adulthood.
