Less and less fan of Tomac?

In a word— No. it’s human nature to want to demonize those who are on top. Personally I’ve never seen Eli display anything but class in any of his interviews. I think the fact he’s kind of shy people sometimes mistake that for being brash but i personally think it’s a mischaracteriztion based on everything I’ve seen/heard.

Just my 2 cents.

Tomac > musquin Tomac > herlings Tomac is also a very clean racer, like stew and Carmichael. This is not a bash on anyone. Just stating my opinion. Marvin likes to ride a bit too aggro at times.

I don't think I've ever seen a rider of his caliber do anything similar. It's funny to me because not too long ago I saw someone on here claim that he was extremely narcissistic.

After watching that rewind deal from Boston I'm actually less of a fan of Marvin, not Eli

i dont like black socks, i lose to many..

Yeah i see your point but me ”beef” with Tomac is not from him being the best right now. Since I started watching mx and sx it has always been one dominant rider (mcgrath, RC, RV, RD).

I dont really know what it is. He starts to feel like the bad Guy in sport movies.

How so? I got the feeling musquin wanted to explain to Tomac and the kawi team his perspective but kawi team was pleased to have another reason for hating musquin.

And yes i am aware musquin did not handle the thing perfectly aswell

The reason i started this thread was because i just saw the Monster Energy rewind where they was behind the scene of Foxborough. Sure it wasn't clean of Musquin when i passed Tomac but still. Tomac was probably angry but he looks a little bit satisfied with the whole thing. Like he knows Marvin will get so much shit and he gets nothing but sympathies and so on.

Maybe I am wrong (Some of you definitely thinks so, and will comment so) or maybe because I am from Europa that makes me root for europeans but who knows.

Does anyone agree with me?

Put your self in his shoes. He made a clean pass on Marve, to only be hammered in the turn. Was a total BS move. I'm a fan of the sport and respect all riders, but Marve did loose respect by many over that.

me personally i like eli , i just cant stand his dick sucking fan boys , but u can say tht about every fandom of sort , like the patriot fans & the bandwagon warriors fans , eli as a rider or as a person i have no problem with , but his fan club is starting to head towards the annoying villopoto & stew fans

Like them all! They have skills beyond my wildest dreams.

As a rider to like the most.......Tomac gets my nod!

He’s human.....I’m in for More and More

Eli doesnt seem to be very comfortable in front of the cameras and at the pressconferences.
We might see a different tomac the day he retires, just like we have with villopoto and pourcel. Who cares really, he doesnt behave badly and races clean and rides a bike faster than 7,636,785,700 people in the world

Because Marvin is a bitch and claimed he was jumping just like that the whole race. And because he blamed the crash on Eli and said it's Eli's fault for cutting down too early lol. Eli passed him super clean right before that and the only way Marvin was gonna win that race was with a takeout or a Eli crash in the last lap. I don't think the Eli takeout was THAT bad but the way Marvin handled it later was pathetic. Marvin handled it the way girls handle things by beating around the bush and making excuses. If he just claimed the pass and admitted it was a little more aggressive than he intended and that he was going for the win, then I would have been ok with it and I think most people would have too.

I 100% agree with Shredder here.

In general, I think Marvin is the dirtier rider. Not the dirtiest out there, for sure, but definitely a dirtier rider than Tomac. Dirty doesn't have to be aggressive. You can be dirty in the tactics you use off the track, you can be dirty without ever touching another rider (cross-jumping, cutting over, not moving over for a blue flag). Marvin isn't always punting guys off the track, but his bag of tricks is pretty deep.

OP - No. I do not agree with you. You are wrong.

5 pager without a doubt

Just to create drama I'm pretty sure Tomac had already beat the guy you think is number 1 in the world in his element, Aka sand. How do you think that guy would do against Eli in the biggest championship that either a KX450F or the 450 SXF can race?

Just trying to rile the general population up!

A rider's decision to race or not race the MXDN is a dumb basis to decide whether you like a rider. It's an exhibition race. They're not going to war. . . they're going to entertain. It's more entertaining with him, but it's not any less of a race. Only selfish people would base their rider preference on their decision to race MXDN.

You took the bait!

In all seriousness i think Tomac and herlings are the two fastest riders in the world and they can both win against each other.

I think the exact opposite of OP. Im liking tomac more and more

There, I fixed it for you. Herlings will prove this to a lot of people at Red Bud. But most still won't admit it's true.

If you left the door wide open by 8 feet, I'd make the pass on you too.

You my friend are a idiot. ??

My dad likes Tomac. My mom likes shopping, I like coming home to a big glass of scotch every night! People are going to like who they like no matter what happens. I have been a Cole Seely fan since his he was a privateer, it sure as hell aint because he wins.

Give Herlings a year to get experience and he'd be beating everyone there too. Tomac has yet to prove he can win a 450 SX championship

If he beats Tomac at Redbud, there is no more questions to be asked, Herlings gets the nod until next time.

I really hope they start both moto's near each other.

Watching Herlings ride lately, I think he has a good chance to beat him even if he starts behind.

Still going to root for Tomac though.

I'm not a fan for the simple reason that he doesn't share anything about himself, just a boring personality to me. Other than that I have no problem with him, just not my favorite rider.

Musquin should try that move on Peick, bet he would get more than a thumbs up and a throttle tube. Been watching ET for year's, he'll run you high and bunch up the field but he's as clean as they come...although, Cooper Webb would disagree.

*more and more fan of Tomac
