What happened to Tomac? He was third out of the first turn...then dropped anchor!

Well we’ll get the “he didn’t want to talk about it” so just go with speculation of arm pump… or set up…or electrical issues

A lot of riders were commenting on how dangerous the track was. Tomac recently has been known to back way off when he feels uncomfortable with the conditions, so it looks like thats what he did. The only problem is I dont think youre gonna be able to get away with taking 10ths this year. With Jett and Chase in top form and Coop riiight there its just not gonna work this year imo. Hopefully he comes back and rebounds next week cuz if he has another one of these he could be way back before you know it.

Has to be sick with whatever Webb had last week. That's not a bike setup problem.

Something that got me thinking as I was watching him cruise around still finishing as one of the top 10 best riders in the pro supecross.. I thought, damn how good must one be When you can cruise around going wide in corners to let dudes by and still be faster than 99% of dirt bike riders in the world.

I kinda wondered if he had hurt himself again.

We found the guy who's been beaten by too many Yamahas...

 

As for Tomac, I'm shocked.   He looked his old self last week and I had him pegged for a podium if not a win tonight.  Something has to be up for him to drop off like that.        I don't want to see the return of Elito Mac.

Wonder if he caught whatever bug Webb had. Hopefully there’s a good explanation for it

Speed was great in qualifying.  Solid heat race.  Faded in the main.....no explanation.

Seemed like a body or bike issue, hopefully it was a bike issue.

I kind of thought so too.  Might've been my imagination but I thought it looked really soft after he slowed down.

Eli is a solid  pick for anything, but it seems to be,  if all the chips fall his direction,  he's golden  No hate towards him,  but to sound like a broken record, this season is stacked.....  Fucking stacked.  He's no kid anymore, and there is a few of these kids who are DAMN good at what they do on an SX track, and could care less about putting Mr. 2nd on the all time SX win list behind them every Sat night.....  it's a feather in their own helmets.  He needs to either fight like what his paycheck says he's worth for wins, or fight to uphold his legacy.   It's a bitch for him this season......   It's gonna hurt.  An SX title is the only happiness for him, and it's not happening in 24.  Bash away.........

ET3 has been my ride or die since 2013. He’s 31 and it shows. Its over. And I still love me some ET3. But he’s done. 

Hope beast mode shows up next week to prove you wrong lol

That was tough to watch…. One of the most surprising rides of the night.  Arm pump?  Bike issue?  No idea, but I hope we do hear something about it.
