Tomac

Lately Eli Tomac has reminded me of decades ago when Hannah was blitzing the competition.
Jumping into the rough and legs flailing all over off the bike.
Fun to watch and riding on the limit.

I am a big herlings fan and after last years races ive thought that herlings was a bit faster than tomac on any surface. But what i saw today from Tomac, holyshit dude. I dont think its possible to go any faster than that. Respect!

I think they both have improved since last year. It's really difficult to call. I think Tomac is probably more prone to a mistake and/or an average performance (by his standards) but in terms of both guys at their absolute best, it's impossible to tell right now

And if Tomac never got hurt in 2015 Kenny wouldn't have won the 2016 title. See I can play the fantasy game too

Tier 2. Reed, Dungey, Roczen, Bradshaw, Stanton, Bayle. Obvious fast guys with a bunch of titles, but not dominant in their era.

Most of the time he didn't have the raw speed like those mentioned. RV and Tomac proved that directly, Prime Stewart was the fastest SX rider ever and went 24-0 outdoors, RC is RC, and McGrath is the King.

I'm still trying to lift my jaw up off the floor after what I just witnessed from Tomac. He was making up 3-4 seconds a lap on some extremely FAST riders. That was simply stunning. All due respect to Herlings (who I openly admit is very fast), but anyone who thinks Tomac "doesn't have something" for Herlings is completely delusional. Clearly they are the two fastest riders on the planet. Who's faster is likely going to come down to the day, bike set up, and track/venue. On any given day either would beat the other.
