Hopefully, this isn't the last image of Eli Tomac we have as a professional racer. Octopi Media

The athlete version of Alpinestars Tech 10s, pictured here on Sexton and the version Tomac was wearing, don't have the ankle lock-out system present between the bottom and middle buckles. Some pros retain it, such as Justin Barcia, but a lot of them opt for more flex. Octopi Media

The Laser LE is one of our favorites that Alpinestars has dropped this year. Octopi Media

The emotions are strong with this one... Octopi Media

The number one won't be present on Eli Tomac's machine in 2024, if there's a machine he's riding. Octopi Media

The new YZ450F likes a longggg wheel base. Also, we spy steel axles on Tomac's machine and we believe they're running steel bolts in the linkage as well. Octopi Media
Place holder
The outlet on Star Racing's YZ450F FMF exhaust can is quite a bit smaller than the one you or I would buy. Sound limits are fun. Octopi Media
Place holder
While Red Bull KTM did have bikes present, they didn't have much in the way of riders. Octopi Media
Place holder
Max Vohland's machine was the only one under the tent getting dirty this week. Octopi Media
Place holder
Just when you think he's down, Grant Harlan keeps trucking along. Torn labrum, new bike, still great results. Octopi Media

Chase Sexton remains the last man standing on the Showa BFRC shock this season. Octopi Media
Place holder
Ever since a rock/roost incident a few years back when Eli Tomac was on Kawasaki, which damaged the housing of his brake master cylinder and restricted piston movement...teams still guard their's just in case. Octopi Media
Place holder
There's just something about a Nissin billet brake caliper... Octopi Media
