Tomac is a chump because he didn't want to ride in front of thousands of people with his ass hanging out.
Tomac is a girly-man because he may not have wanted to race and do triples with his riding britches wrapped around his knees and ankles.
Tomac is weak-minded because a crash (that only he experienced) not only somehow opened his riding britches and apparently has reinjured a shoulder while quite possibly concussing him, caused him to call it a night.
Tomac, sans at least a 30 second lead, tosses in the towel and either quits or gives up and settles for a lower position at finish.
Any defense of Tomac means the defender is butt-hurt and unable to deal with his/her idol failing and in spite of mountains of evidence to the contrary (available here) are now worse than JS7's fans.
Broken brake lines, bent rotors, other mechanical issues don't count if it happens to Tomac.
I'm sure I've missed some stuff, but I've got things to do today. I'm always in a learning mode, so just wanted to sum up some of VSPBT's thoughts.
All these vital Psychologist that have come to these conclusions with out even knowing what Eli's after crash issues were. I would guess it was more than just his pants coming unbuckled.

I remember at the time, I had some fox riding gear and inside the sleeve of the jersey they had printed " winners never quit and quitters never win " . Thought that was a bit wanky until I turned the front wheel of his bike and looked at that rotor and realised what a phenomenal feat of riding it was for him to finish the race let alone finish up so high...
I guess that's a big part of the reason why he won all those championships
"How did our mega-million dollar rider do at the biggest race of the year?"
"He pulled off the track"
"What? Why?"
"His pants came undone."

In all fairness, Eli must have had another issue, but that was the oddest pull-off I have ever seen.
I have a fox roost 2 that's probably 20 years old...they don't make them with that mesh under the shoulder cups anymore,so I refuse to part with it and I never ride without it anymore
Like anyone else I've had some big crashes and lots of broken bones and surgeries, but never have I had a shoulder or collar bone injury.
Twice I went riding and forgot the roost 2 , first time was when I first got it and I went over the bars and flipped onto my back and the bike landed on me....lotsa bark off my back and second time was about 6 years ago ,I high sided and went in. head first ,got a concussion and a real sore neck a few cracked ribs and some blood in my lungs....
If I went out and left it behind these days, well I'd just turn around and go home.
I just don't get how pros deliberately choose not to avail themselves of proper protection,especially when they have already had multiple shoulder and or collar bone injuries...just don't get it.
Back in the day everyone wore body armour...it's like protection has gone out of fashion?
