Battle of Legends! Gajser vs Tomac Race 3 MXGP/Open | 2024 Monster Energy FIM MXoN

[@BobbyLightDoYouRight]

Shoutout to Tomac for carrying team USA this year

[@wcrider]

Tomac had only 2 mx races on the last two years and never rode on this track before. Legend.

[@coryklein5660]

And with his age and how many more miles he has on his body.. unbelievable ride from ET3 gotta love it

[@BobbyLightDoYouRight]

@@wcrider if it wasn’t for ET3 we would have had the same situation as last year when we was so bad that all we could do was root for AMA guys. Tomac single handedly carried us this year. Incredible at his age and considering the past few years he’s had. He stepped up and everyone needs to bombard his social media and salute him so he knows we appreciate him.

[@marmaleg5309]

Such a legend

[@gdot6406]

That’s what you call passion/love for the sport

[@pmccoy8924]

Put the lads on his shoulders. Proud of him. Excellent.

[@merccrewlcab2385]

I am humbled and gratefil to be able to watch Tomac at his age race with Gajser and Jett, they outclassed the world today! What a show! Thanks fellas! So much respect!

[@burtswable6682]

Thank you ET3

[@pointenoire889]

Gajser was incredible and certainly the best on this MXON congrat legend! MXGP for ever

[@LombardiaBergamo]

Great respect to our MXGP legend Gasjer who beat Lawrence and Tomac to 2 wins! They should have given him the trophy 🏆🏆🏆🏆

[@wurf5336]

Gajser absolute legend!

[@dereksrf17]

And he overcame a broken femur last year

[@arvidlinden5292]

Great performance from Gajser to beat a world class rider like Tomac with 17 seconds.

[@Iwasthewalrus]

John Tomac sure is proud

[@joelwaititi9299]

Tomacs 3rd MX race on that bike and only his 3rd MX race in 2 years, he looked good. Tim was great, sick pass at the end. Jett with unbelievable pace to go from where he started to the front.

[@gem402]

Next year Team USA Tomac, Sexton and Deegan

[@Halbert221]

And it’s going to be at Ironman, we are expected to win next year

there is no Tomac, Sexton in 2025 and much more there is no Deegan, someone new in USA will evolve to be deserve to to ride for U.S.A.

AP Webb were destroyed by 250 guys 😅 yes you got 3 good riders in for US, but theyre only 2 ama riders that looked good today. ET and Jett. The Rest was stomped by de wolf and Längenfelder 😂

[@rodgallagher5566]

Eli Tomac near retirement,gave these best riders in the world a lesson!??

[@pmccoy8924]

Put the USA lads on his back. Brilliant performance. Well done. Would have been different had Deegan/Sexton been able to ride. Get em' next year back home.

[@LeifTriumph]

He get 3 place!😂

[@MastaFRO1]

@@LeifTriumph he got 2nd overall. Only 1 Euro rider beat him and that was Tim. Lawrence bros race the American series. Tomac beat Herlings, Prado and the rest.

@@LeifTriumph you can't add, so anything you say is problematic.

[@poolpool64]

A lesson on how to lose!😂😂

[@robinhecker2180]

As expected, Gajser beat Tomac. Gajser fastest rider in the world at this point.

[@MastaFRO1]

Albeit on a very familiar track to him. You cant make that claim unless Tim goes to the US and does the same.

[@jicakejijicakeji7278]

Let’s see how he does in supercross ?? Tomac = more versatile rider…

[@EVH-s5h]

@@MastaFRO1 It was made clear that , that particular track was a track Gajer excels on . Big reason why he won and the fact that Tim takes crazy chances Eli will not do that anymore .

[@jojofich2280]

Great racing

[@mikehatch1967]

I like AP but he is not as good as the the others, still one of the best in the world

[@mikehatch1967]

Tomac beat Herlings striaght up

[@daltonturner3113]

Twice

[@jakedavis9959]

Smoked em

[@LM_Bjorkas]

Herlings crashed both motos I believe, so he wasn’t able to fight against Tomac sadly

[@dn5435]

Yeah Herling's performance was very poor, such a shame because this was a great opportunity to see them battling. Judging from the way he talked before the races, he didn't believe he could win. And the will to win has always been his biggest strenght... I guess age is becoming a factor also for his mind, not just for his body

[@MastaFRO1]

@@LM_Bjorkas Tomac was on him first moto before Herlings crashed and checked out on him second moto way before he crashed. There is no doubt he was the better rider today. Also smoked current world champ.

[@BRField]

I'm pissed that Deegan said he would go, IF ET3 went, WTF why didn't he go then? We would have won !! Webb is a SX guy. Fact: the 450 Hondas went 1-2 in all races, except for Tomac's 450 Yamaha. apparently the 450 Hondas were the best bike.

[@MastaFRO1]

Who tf told JT Tomac was on the limit? Did Tomac say he was on the limit? Was Tim on the limit as well?

[@LouterjohnArbolario]

Absolutely he is!! Can' t you see how he is holding his line from Gajser, these is their Brag and Rights, everyone wants to be in the top😅😅😅

[@MastaFRO1]

@@LouterjohnArbolario I mean sure, he wanted to win. But this is Tomacs 3rd motocross in 2 years. I believe he's at least a little conservative.

[@lukepaul2882]

Tomac sexton and deegan would have been a winning team

[@EVH-s5h]

They would have easily won actually .

[@nellyphare9846]

Deegan has made excuses now for two years and has bottled it.If he had turned up this year you might have won.He was scared of Kay De Wolf,Coenan,and Langerfelder.Still he will race next year as its on home ground and on a track he knows well.

[@lukepaul2882]

@@nellyphare9846 I’m from New Zealand, but still a big fan of the USA riders. I’m not sure if deegan is scared of gp riders though.

[@holycow939]

Proud American 🇺🇸 Eli, what can we say that hasn’t. A career ending injury and you just dug in. Incredible to mix it with the best in the world! Master Class. What a great representation for the entire sport in that 3rd moto. Congratulations to all! 🤙🏻

[@The_coachman_on_tour]

Well, this answered the long standing herlings, tomac argument

[@dn5435]

definetly answered the question as it is today! just like a few years ago the situation was the opposite. This time Herlings sucked and Tomac was far better, no doubt.

[@Gazza-zg2tr]

You have a selective memory when Herlings came to America in 2017 Ironman and the MX GP in Florida ,Herlings won 4 Races and Tomac won 1 race.over the two weekends.Gaiser is now the fastest Rider in the World beating Jett, Herlings has been coming back from injury this year but look on the latter MXGP rounds and see how many times Herling has won races against Gaiser and Prado this year.he finished 3rd in MXGP Jeffery fell in every race this weekend but still finished top 5 .But Tomac did ride good this weekend and he made America proud it was a shame Deegan never came over instead of AP you might have won it ?

[@MastaFRO1]

@@Gazza-zg2tr You also have a selective memory as when Tomac dominated Cairoli the year before. In anyways, these are apples to oranges comparisons. Euro guys SHOULD be faster on MX as they ONLY do MX. They don't do supercross. You think Tomac wouldn't be even faster if he only trained for MX all year?

[@The_coachman_on_tour]

@Gazza-zg2tr I remember it clearly. I remember he was restricted and held back by mitch Paton and suspension settings. Iron-man 4 example tucked his front wheel in the soft which wouldn't have happened if he could have ran his stiffer settings

[@MastaFRO1]

@@The_coachman_on_tour Yup. Love how euro fans just conveniently ignore Tomac was worried about clinching his first MX title in ironman when Herlings came over. Thats why he rode around in 13th. He also had to worry about KTM strategy trying to bait Tomac with Herlings (which almost did work btw) so Musquin could have a better shot at it. Maybe pressure Tomac into an error. But no, Euros act like this was all par for corse and had nothing to do with anything.

[@esetehmar136]

Team usa don't cry 😭 Gajser is faster 😅

[@FastEddy301]

Let's put him on an SX track. I don't think Gieser could even qualify. Sure is fast outdoors, though. It would be embarrassing for Eli to beat the euros on a track they have raced many times. Oh wait, he did beat them all, except one. Embarrassing.

[@Proton-m4y]

“Tomac is comfortable on the limit”. DUHHHH! He is BEASTMODE. He had two outdoor races under his belt and still managed to battle the absolute best in the world. This is only the beginning for his return. Once he gets this full off season prep in, after seeing how much he still wants to win, he’s going for it in 2025. Feels like the real Tomac. Not the one we got in 2024 SX. I hope we see him lay it all on the line and risk crashing, at least at some races, because this year is it. I also think he has a chance to beat Jett. No question Jett is younger, faster right now, has a ton of momentum, but Eli did too right before his achilles injury. He was waxing Sexton in 2023 SX. No matter what happens, there are going to be a ton of good battles in 2025 🤞🏻🙏🏻🤘🏻

[@nellyphare9846]

Herlings is a much better rider than Tomac just go back on every time they met in MXON and in America Tomac beat Herlings twice.Herlings even called out Tomac to come to Lommel my prediction Tomac would get lapped as did the moto gp boys did at Lommel a few years ago and at Ironman 2017 the Americans got spanked inc Tomac.I rest my case.

[@jammer212]

dude, JT was there for absolutely no reason 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ronmor8237]

Tomac def needs to stiffen suspension to push that pace...he can def do it but looks like suspension to is limiting him at some spots

[@markllev356]

Awesome job from Tomac! I figured Tomac was done after all he has been through. Boy, thankfully my prediction was wrong! Awesome job Eli! Great job America!

Cairoli has been there too, many times in his career: the lesson is you need a strong team at team events, you can't rely on a soloist only....

[@didikdoang7628]

Tim Gajser = 28 years old Eli Tomac = 32 years old 😂😂😂😂😂

[@EVH-s5h]

There's a huge drop off in speed between riders that are 28 and riders that are 31/32 . That's why most riders retire around 30 years of age but are still in their prime at 28 .

[@mikehatch1967]

I would much rather watch stomach race then Jet Tomac rides balls to the walls and it is a much more exciting kind of racing Jet is very good but his style is much different as he just flows around the track not as exciting as watching eli

[@Janez_449_slo]

Where is Herlings because the last word is that he can overtake Tomac without a problem, I see that it is not true that they are just arrogant words, but Gajser does not say anything, but it proves that Jetta has overtaken, congratulations.

[@ropany]

JH is not what he used to be anymore: too many injuries have taken a toll on thim, physically and mentally. In this year world championship I have seen a glimpse of his former self only in a couple of sand races...
