Excellent interview. As a Tomac fan I would love to have him out there more doing some good interviews

[@michaeldill7620]

Great content. Phil should be a regular . His humor and demeanor work well in this type of banter. Also good to drag Eli’s personality out .. he’s a funny dude. Thanks for that.

[@Stalkerfiveo]

“Yeah I had a sprained ankle and didn’t talk about it. I didn’t wanna sound like I was making excuses.” This is why Eli is a legend.

Eli is such a class act. That dude has never complained once in his career. Glad hes start consistency back, its really so important with the way these tracks are designed this season. If he keeps getting good starts we are in for some great battles at the end of this season. I can't wait for the next race!

[@MCSuperHonky]

Love the “new” Eli being open about his thing, thing. Man, I hope he signs up for another season! We really need him in the game! I’ll be totally geeked if he rides outdoors. BEAST MODE!

[@71dbart]

Cool to hear Eli laughing and joking around! Such a class act...so glad he's still racing! The absolute best to watch. Keep it going ET3 as long as you can!

They can’t because then Jett would not be able to beat McGraths record. Got to keep the golden goose safe.

[@13Skribbles]

@@GoZipper I can understand people not liking jet He keeps winning and he has come across as arrogant at times However jet actually wants whoops brought back And he's really good at them If you watched last week Supercross you would know the whoops is where he was beating Tomac He was skimming them Tom was jumping them So I just don't think the logic in your statement would hold up In reality it would probably give him a better chance of winning that 72 On a different note I'm actually really good friends with MC known him 92 Nobody's gonna touch that 72 in my lifetime

Love Eli please come back for 25 we need you! And the whoop and track argument yes there’s been shite tracks this year but even more so shite weather what the hell? They went 5+ years without a wet race now 5 in one season! Also Jett hate him or love him he would smoke them even more if the whoops where bigger and longer for sure

My wife claims Eli does best when he wears gear with pastel colors, but when he wears dark colors he struggles. She is a big fan and got me on board the Tomac train a few years ago. Maybe someone can make Eli aware of this pastel connection……..

I have always just heard his nick-name "Philthy Phil" and never put 2&2 together. The name is spot on. Definitely needs to be a regular!

[@Tide12NC]

I w been looking back at older SX races from 2013 and such, those tracks looked so much better than the tracks today. The tracks today all look the same. Whoever designs these tracks, needs to go back and watch some older tracks that Stewart, Dungey, RV and Reed battled on. Go back to those style tracks. Get the money people up top OUT OF THE SPORT!!!

[@Vintage-406]

Awesome interview! Here’s an idea for the future. If the AMA is scared for the riders. For super duper cross they should bring back whoops over 9 and dragon backs… in theory SMX is only the elite of elite. Those riders should be able to tackle that with no issue.

[@DSwann31]

Phil your the man no bullshit love it!!!😂

[@TexRobNC]

I don't even ride dirt bikes, and I have noticed how the whoops as they are seem to be just long enough now that you can hang on until the end almost all the time, no matter how ugly they start to get, nothing like it used to be.

I wasn’t even on Twitter except to read scores from my daughters softball club. And suddenly ET3 comment was top of a feed I never used. I did the same thing about chasing down whether it was the real Tomac posting 😅

[@GoZipper]

AMA and Feld are doing everything possible to help Jett break McGrath's record. I don't think the timing of removing whoops and dragon's backs are a coincidence.

[@jeffstuart4424]

Actually less technical helps everyone keep up with Jett. He's fast in whoops and hits jumps nobody else does. More then likely would have even more wins if tracks were more technical

[@seanhaberman4619]

What are you talking about? The harder the track the more likely Jett wins. They've made the tracks so easy he has no where to make up time. Everyone does the same rhythm and the whoops are a joke. Jett would put a half second on the field ever lap through a real whoop section. If anything Feld just wants to avoid him dominating like he did outdoors.

Make Supercross Great Again! Bring back the real whoops...back-to-back, like Anaheim used to be.

[@wcrider]

It was the best itw of ET3. I agree with him about whoops and dragons back. The sport is becoming like this era, soft and one of the reason that I love this sport is because that's not a soft sport. It's an elite sport with elite riders. They should deal with long set of whoops and dragon backs.

[@wcrider]

Ride soft rutted tracks like those after an injurie like this is for real men. He did good in those conditions. I don't think he will be in for 2025 because he doesn't like how SX look right now I hope I m wrong. Look at SX races from the 90' and early 2000, they were real tracks. Make everything to closing the gap and speed between riders at some point it's just ridiculous.

[@wcrider]

I would love to see him help Triumph in 2025. They run Kayaba and Monster, it would be a good fit for both side.

Before I even watch this, my biggest criticism of the tracks especially on the east coast is the whoops it makes zero sense at how fast they get blown out not t mention taking them out one round if they lasted when JS7 and RC4 there’s no reason they can’t last now.

Big whoops and harder tracks separated the men from the boys. McGrath and Larocco excelled in the tough tracks others didn't keep the pace.

It seems to me that every track design this year has 90 degree turns before and after the whoops. They should have 180 below turns before and after so passes can be setup.
