Shocking, JT thinks Barcia took Tomac out and that it was not a good move(listen to the Racer X podcast).

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But i strongly disagree, nothing wrong with that. Barcia gave Eli so much space and it looks like Eli is on his way down before any contact has happened. Eli has himself to blame.
Haven't heard the podcast yet but that is disappointing if true. Barcia was balls to the wall and going forward after a horrendous start. Tomac became cannon fodder because he let it happen. The double standard in this place just kills me.

So far, in a nutshell, we have:
1. Breaking Tomac news, quitting SX, planning going to MXGP.
2. James Stewart and Mookie victims of racism.
3. Trump and politics in America.
4. Barcia is a bitch when he passes people.
5. Select members of VitalMX are asshats.

Am I missing anything else here. Seems we have all the bases covered now.

You know when there's a house fire or a robbery being covered on local news and they interview the most incompetent people they can find? You know, for entertainment value?

Well, its clear plenty of people posting in this thread have been interviewed by their local news at least once.

Wow...

Strangely, this is true about most threads... sigh.

In the mean time, the Eagles won the Superbowl Smile

So there is that.

Eagles primary color is Green.

Eli rides a Kawasaki.

Kawasaki's are green.

My first sentence is totally related to this thread.....

THE EAGLES
I keep hearing all this fuss about the Eagles having played yesterday. But c'mon, Glenn Frey died two years ago! True, his son Otis is filling in for him, but if Keith or Mick kicked off and one of their sons filled in, would it still be The Stones?

Barcia rode great.

Eli is a headcase and has been struggling with injuries. He's no Dungey/RV/Ricky/Chad/James... he's just a guy with great speed at times, and a poor mental game. End of story. Enjoy him for what he is while he's here.

You say "he's no James he's just a guy with great speed at times, and a poor mental game. End of story. Enjoy him for what he is while he's here" but that pretty much describes James to a T.

He overcame adversity you likely wouldn’t even acknowledge exists.

Did he create a lot of his own self inflicted adversity? Definitely. So has EVERY other past champ that got into the party scene. Yet somehow their mental strength is never questioned.
I'm not going to roll around in the mud on this one. I only want to clarify that my comments were simply comparing James to the other riders in the original post. Of the ones mentioned, Eli and James are more alike in their blazing speed but inconsistent results and RD/RV/RC/CR are more alike in their blazing speed and consistency. It was about their ability to limit the damage on a "bad day", maximize every point and win championships with consistency being a key component. James' race or the sacrifices that his family made to get him to where he is, never even entered my mind.

OP, I've only got 5mins left of my lunch break. Do you think the news will break before I go back to work? Tongue

I saw the breaking news on Eli's IG: New gold Alpinestars Tech-10s for the weekend. Now we can all relax and get back to regular life.

All the Alpinestars athletes posts pictures of their new LE boots or gear a few days before Alpinestars reveals them. So that is not proof of anything.

I still think Tomac races, but not because a post of Alpinestars upcoming LE Tech 10 boots.

My sarcasm did not translate at all. I was only posting the boot news because it is literally the only news we have had on Tomac since Saturday night.
