Eli Tomac's Dominating Start To 2015 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross

[@dr187mx]

That whip into the corner is one of the coolest things I've ever seen on a bike.

[@zacrentz4457]

When he was on Geico Honda he looked the most comfortable I’ve seen anyone on a bike. Everything is so fluent and composed it’s amazing

[@creativechau]

Agreed. I still can't wrap my head around what's different on the Kawi. Not as smooth, not as fun to watch but still wins championships

[@jaredkeene5588]

Taylor Chausky It’s them double pipes👌🏻👌🏻

[@snowzZzZz]

@@creativechau comfort, bike gemometry, idk always looks like he's fighting the kawasaki Kinda like Stewart on a Yamaha, never the same as he was on Kawasaki

[@marcspencer800]

I take it you never saw bubba on a kawi haha especially a 125

[@DPSPhoto319]

It's crazy to me how that domination looked so effortless and precise.

[@davidweiler2294]

crazy? i was crazy once, they locked me in a room, a rubber room, a rubber room full of rats and the rats made me crazy

[@derrickanderson5407]

to this day I think this is the fastest anyone has ever ridden a 450 at hangtown... this was Tomac's peak right before he blew out his shoulders in rd3 and while he's still as fast today, maybe faster, this was different. That level of pure confidence , that body language, nobody was going to beat Tomac this day and even he knew it.

[@seaeff6428]

Are you serious? Fastest anyone has ever ridden at hangtown?...... um you think? It’s not close. This was way above herlings, Cairoli. This was above RC shit. Those 2.5 rounds in 2015 may have been the most on point anyone had ever been on a motorcycle. Ryan Dungey is one of the best outdoor riders of all time. 2nd in all time wins in the premier class tied for second most titles. Eli beat him by 90 seconds. Eli’s seconds time last lap was 4/10ths faster than Ryan’s first. Eli is a nutcase.

[@GDUBMX]

Man love this classic mxptv stuff, nice job mate

[@mxptv]

Thanks! Got to put this footage somewhere!

[@decu8187]

i've seen everyone rc js rv rd and i honestly haven't seen anything like eli tomac that guy outdoors is amazing and i doubt we'll ever see anything like it

[@shooter7a]

More than a few pros have stated this is the fastest they have EVER seen anyone ride a dirt bike.

[@seaeff6428]

I truly believe it was. Ryan Dungey is one of the best ever outdoors and was beat by 90 seconds. It was unreal.

[@Carpfishing4400]

He wouldn't of been beaten that year if he didn't have that crash 100%. Was on a completely different level to anyone else. Hadnt seen that sort of speed since Villopoto in the 2007 Des Nations

[@seaeff6428]

This was by far the most dominant anyone had ever been on a bike. Not even close. Eli tomac is an extremely underrated rider. If he retired Tomorrow he’s one of the best ever especially outdoors.

[@snowzZzZz]

I wonder how the future would have been if Stewart never left Kawasaki and Eli never left Honda (disregarding details like whether it was the teams decision or the rider, just hypothetical).

[@seaeff6428]

@@snowzZzZz if stew never left kawi? Idk that’s a tough one because idk if the still sign RV or not. So who knows really? Tomac situation is different because he left Geico Honda which is different than the HRC team and geico never had a 450 after that. I don’t think him staying on Geico was ever really a possibility long term. Look as reed though. He went from Yamaha to Suzuki to Kawasaki to starting twotwo in 4 years and he ended up being Honda’s top dog in 2011 after trey and Ivan were out. He’s literally ridden every brand aside from gas gas.

[@jacobwhobrey1125]

By far the most dominant anyone’s been on a bike? Lol RC lapped 2nd place at a race in 06 and had 2 24-0 seasons

[@seaeff6428]

@@jacobwhobrey1125 in a mud race with chaos everywhere. Eli straight put 90 seconds on second place on a dry track. RC never did that.

[@paulsantiago4136]

The most dominant was RC, not even close

[@johntomasik1555]

He was on rails until that Thunder Valley vicious crash. I think that knocked the fearless out of him for a couple of seasons. He still was able to put together wins, but I don't recall him looking that fast until this past season.

[@kennyferraro3522]

It’s good to see people at a race!

[@foolcooker6529]

I remember watching the qualifying times and seeing he was 3 seconds a lap faster and thinking that was amazing and then in the races he was 7 seconds a lap after at times !

[@pedro6barboza]

please mxptv, more videos like that

[@otaviofelipe9651]

ELI TOMAC HEHE 👍👍

[@westonrountree]

I think it was this season he won a moto by over a minute over 2nd place

[@crffilmz7300]

lead the entire field by a minute and went to kawi he should have stuck with honda

[@matthewscarberry8787]

Eli is the man love to watch Rockzen as well nobody rides like Eli and Ken and something about that red just looks better on a Honda

[@mikecrawford73]

Very consistent rider his little head did not take over the big head good riding

[@jtaraiza2480]

Eli needs to get back onto Honda

[@TJ-gm4lc]

He looks great now on the Kawi

[@mxptv]

Yeah. Looks SO terrible on that Kawi........

[@jtaraiza2480]

MXPTV fair enough, he just struggled quite in outdoors last year on the green machine, hard to tell whether it's him or the bike. He seems to have stuff figured out tho so I hope he's successful!

[@dabraapman5257]

Judging by his performance in supercross, I think it will be more him. I feel its just the pressure effects him the most.

[@joel387ktm]

JT Araiza so he can blow both shoulders again look at every Honda rider in the last 5 years all of them had catastrophic wrecks Cole seeley roczen canard etc.

[@Womb2DaTomb]

What camera is being used to film this anyone now?

[@gamer2350]

If only it was tomac and roczen on Honda

[@noahranker4133]

David pelkey their shit

[@DouweEgbert]

until Herlings shows up ..lol

[@eliasvaldes82]

@@DouweEgbert Herlings is a great rider, but he gets hurt pretty much every season, and if the GP's wasn't such a long championship he would have lost even more championships because of it... He's kind of like how James Stewart was, he will win championships and be super fast at times, but he will probably never get the number of championships everyone expects him to get. He can show up and beat Tomac and Roczen on the final round, but both those riders have won more championships than him, which is what counts at the end.

[@DouweEgbert]

ELIAS VALDES RUIZ oh really , Herlings has more titles as Tomac and Roczen ... world titles it is , if we count nationals Herlings has more as the two of them combined ... imagine he would never have been injured in past ... ? who would have beat a healthy fit Herlings ? Not Tomac and not Roczen ... funny you mention Roczen , he is been injured even more as Herlings ✌🏻 injured or not , fact is Herlings at moment is FMOTP ... no doubt , as Tomac

[@eliasvaldes82]

@@DouweEgbert lmao my whole point is that he's fast but gets injured too much, therefore he most likely will not win as many championships as people think, and your response is "imagine how many championships he would have if he wasn't injured"? Also get your facts straight. Tomac has won 4 national titles: 1 in 250cc and 3 straight in 450cc. Roczen has won 2 national titles and 1 world title in which he beat Herlings: 1 in 250cc and 2 in 450 cc. All this is without counting 1 supercross title in 250cc from each of them. You are saying Herlings has won more than both of them combined?? You are either really bad at math or just a casual fan who only watches the mxgp series and trashes the american series. Not even worth listening to you

[@rmudge13]

Had he not crashed that year he would’ve won 24 straight

[@coltoncarpenter3790]

Definitely with how he was riding and great starts it's just sad that his rookie decision to push in that long right hander at thunder valley. Carmichael noted that it could bite him.

[@jmicm13]

Foreshadowing of the coming domination in 2017. Except for that Colorado race crap....

This was the time when Ryan Dungey is no match to Eli Tomac. Until the 3rd round I remembered watching every race and stopped then because ET3 crashed horribly. I did not watch the following rounds.
