Eli Tomac Gets Honest About Ken Roczen...

[@steilfoley2497]

theres always something special about hearing great riders give praise and respect to other riders

[@zanelaughlin2169]

Racers* not just riders

[@SteveHarrison-fv5lh]

Something you would never hear Mr. Lawrence say

[@Braves2Dawgs]

My favorite thing.

[@zachsmithart5170]

Just love seeing fist bumps of respect after a good battle too

[@OldTrucker958]

I could listen to Eli explain things all day. He’s just such a totally honest and grounded individual! No drama with Eli!

[@ronm7489]

Eli’s shoulder injuries and Kenny’s arm injuries robbed us of what would’ve most likely been some epic battles.

[@marvinfrenchy8754]

Very true. I'm glad they were both able to still be competitive after such gnarly injuries.

[@MrKnnthc93]

Your not wrong

[@motofunk1]

That crash at Thunder Valley was brutal. The laps before that crash were Moto at it's finest.

[@Trail_Trash]

Hangtown 2015 Eli finished 90 seconds ahead of Dungey in second. 😎

[@ronm7489]

The saying on another level gets used a lot, but for five and a half motos that year Eli really was on another level as was Kenny in 2016.

[@andrewSUN17]

Tomac is a straight up solid competitor, no BS, no drama.

[@rogersmothers7435]

Like he says "stay icy inside". Give them nothing, and take everything.

[@OldTrucker958]

Exactly!

[@iam106racing2]

This is why this dude is a legend.... the way he speaks of other riders is unreal.

[@greks273]

this is why i like tomac not lawrences

[@markdawson8946]

Plus he’s not cursing and swearing up a storm like other guys who come into the studio. I’m not a big fan of how Jace speaks but I can’t control that. The thing I love about Tomac and Canard when they interview and interact is that they’re true to themselves and don’t feed into the stereotypes that might damage their character. Rick Johnson was a racer back in the 80’s who had this type of perception on how to live your life on and off the track. Eli pertains to that extremely well. Awesome guy and I wish him a great success this season.

[@biggysmalls3626]

Something douchey deegan's kid would never do.

[@markdawson8946]

@@biggysmalls3626 brother there’s a difference in the types of environments and upbringings the two are from. Remember that the Deegans have that rebellious sense about them that dates back to when Brian was riding. If you look at Haiden he’s almost exactly like his dad and coming from a freestyle motocross family he’s obviously not afraid to speak his mind and let alone jump anything huge. It just narrows down to different aspects of life.

[@ds2575]

The most genuine, proffesional role model your ever gonna see. Treasure his last season folks, he will be missed. Lets hope he rides off with title #3 he was robbed of.

[@richjunker5575]

Totally agree. I think he shocked some people this past weekend with not only the speed but the full main event beast mode speed. I think some thought that was gone. Praying he can stay healthy the full season and win the championship!

[@Mazarz-_-]

Listened to the whole 3 hours and still can’t stop listening

[@jonathonbeharriell1489]

Dude same and I still check the clips. Et3 is him

[@user-o8c6q]

same.

[@IMPACTSHOOTING]

Congratulations on the Monster deal! Stoked for you!

[@jerrysmith9935]

he's been like that his whole racing career. straight up guy.A legend.

[@-OscarWilde-]

I remember an epic battle between Eli and Ken at the Motocross of Nations in Germany in 2013. I was there. It was breathtaking. Good luck to you both and please stay healthy! Many greetings from Germany!

[@knobbynut6353]

Great to see Eli being So Open about everything , which is So Not how he has been. Eli is Gonna Be Up There All Year !

[@vintagetrikesandquads4012]

Was so happy to see Tomac take the lead at Anaheim 1, but then he tucked the front within a couple turns. Oh well, 5th is respectable considering he came from the back of the pack. And he did run the fastest qualifier. I hope he takes the series--he was robbed by that freak accident in 23. It would be a great end to his career.

[@olddirtyb6188]

I'm a German and of course I'm a Roczen fan, but I'm also a Tomac fan, so after hearing this what Tomac said, I have just more love and respect for Eli.. great Man, awesome Rider! Keep it going as u do right now bro. Greetings from Germany ✌️❤

[@JoureyOfJAK]

We need an ET3 podcast! Eli is really humble and down to earth. Good one @Gypsy tales

[@treya8685]

I’ve always been a big fan of Eli but after hearing him taking questions from fans when one asked about when he was selling his gt3rs and what he was going to replace it with he was respectful but answered that he doesn’t like sharing his personal life with everyone. That answer just made me like him even more as fans try learning personal things which doesn’t have anything to do with the sport itself.

[@Kyle-k4w]

This is why he is loved. He is definitely coming around with riding with teammates and coming in to A1 ready and up to speed. In the past he would ride alone and struggle at A1 and have to make up those points throughout the season. Riding with the star boys before the season has helped Tomacs season opener ever since.

[@jimbrewer7447]

Tomac is the man. My 5 year old grandson would say "Papa, call Eli Tomac."

[@soupbums]

Of all the factory set ups like honda ,yamaha , Kawasaki, ktm, and yet Suzuki is still competitive whoever is building Roczen's engine and suspension 👍

[@T_B_C_L]

How about that outdoor race where Dungey couldn't get his bike started on the gate. He gets it started right before the leaders came around and went through the field and ended up 7th I believe. To top it off I think it was raining. It's crazy to think Eli has raced all these legends and is second all time in wins. To top it off, he's still faf!

[@goldentrunnell7450]

Im thinking that was Southwick.

[@T_B_C_L]

@goldentrunnell7450 I need to look it up and watch that race again, it was a legendary ride for sure!

[@onlygazza]

Totally with him on not being buddies with the people your racing, he’s a legend 👏

[@markramirez3090]

Tomac is a humble dude with some mad skills on D bike👌

[@UGOArctic]

More riders need to separate business and pleasure. The fact he doesn't want anyone riding with him his amazing. Wish more riders would do that.

[@user-o8c6q]

Eli is still such an engima, kinda holds back / reserved even here. But, like he said, he does that on purpose. Everyone loves and respects the guy for it though. Has no enemies and even the haters know they're full of sht... He's one of the all time GOATs, you can't deny it and has never said a bad word about anybody. Pretty rare for a world renowned athlete to be that quiet, humble and literally never talk sht. I wonder how much of that is just him and how much is Johnny T giving him that advice for a long time to help him avoid drama / blow back. Bc without an older mentor, someone that's been through it, I think it's almost impossible for any young guy to ALWAYS hold back and not either talk some sht or get a little cocky at times. It's impressive though, it's super effective.

[@kevindoyle2347]

No one gives Kenny credit for that 2016 season. He was training with Aldon and was waxing everyone. Go back and watch 2016 outdoors. Kenny was on a different level.

[@Geppy77]

Kenny stopped training with Aldon before 2016. Dungey was with Aldon for 2016.

[@user-tv1le7sw2l]

Eli is like a 1980s NBA player. Everyone is the enemy until I retire. Eli is in great shape.

[@cvdavis]

Great interview and insights into what Eli is like and what he’s experienced.

[@noonespecial1217]

Can’t believe you got this dude to come on! Nice job🤙 Now you just need to have a sit down with JS

[@rodrigosalasolivares9921]

Great Interview!, thanks and congrats!

[@stevensmit5567]

Hands down best guest/ interview! Gypsy-gang!

[@MashiroMartinez]

Jeffrey Herlings vs Eli Tomac was still my favorite. I wish we would’ve seen more of that!

[@gregmccarter3243]

Such great insight on one of GOAT .....

[@simpdog1463]

ELI reminds me so much of Tony Hawk in how he talks , carries himself, respects his competitors and humble about his skill set and how they explain their sport...

[@J_501]

I was in Teutschental for the 2013 Mxon, second race battle with Roczen was one of the best race I've seen in my life. 30min amazing battle for the leader with 250s

[@mykl0001]

Eli coming out of his shell has been a highlight of mx/sx!! Went from a mute to a really sick dude!!!😂😂

[@Proton-m4y]

So sick to see Eli do something like this. He’s always been such a recluse that we never got too much insight into who is really is.

[@dukedoker8899]

I'll never forget Eli asking Barcia,''have you ever passed anyone clean?Barcia replied,''you mean this year'',then with a big ole smile,Barcia said,''my friend Eli's mad at me''no meanness or animosity,love those guys!Oh yeah,Eli's gonna win this title!

[@protectandswerve]

Never was a fan of his mainly due to his stoicism and not being very good with the media and fans. I respect his skill set and drive though. I much preferred Dungey and others that we’re talkative and personable. Tomac finally has allowed himself to get better about this in his older age.

[@jaydeebow6431]

I have been watching about 3 years as I started playing MX Bikes and have really got into the sport and Kenny has been my guy since I started watching, such a great guy on and off the track has a wonderful family and is just relentless on the track on that underdeveloped Suzuki lol #94 baby!

[@MotoMemeMedia]

Love it. Good work Jace

[@mrabrasive51]

All these great riders that he gives praise to..and he beat them all and still is beating them!

[@robertkatzenmeier6]

What a fair sportsman!

[@markcollier9211]

The best interview ever honestly even better than the herlings one

[@MT-bj4kv]

Cool down to earth guy and one of the gnarliest mf‘s on a dirtbike 🤟

[@Joe-pg3kg]

I’ve always wondered the what if’s that would be if Kenny and Eli didn’t both get hurt. I think between those two if they stayed healthy it would have been hard for anyone else to get a win in there.

[@Slotmassacre]

He nearly opened up!!

[@peterczerepak9451]

100% Respect!!!

[@johnallard9876]

It’s cool seeing guys that are so talented in their own right see things in other guys like what how he do that lol but I feel like that’s an easy way to tell who’s who and how talented they really are. Talent sees talent lol

[@yeahok115sure]

Eli gieco 450 short era was wild to watch.

[@ultimatedriversofmachinery]

I think tomac was talkin about deegan there at the end

[@randyreynolds4252]

Marvin was the one that was on his heels more then anyone else, is sad he is forgotten so easily

[@KG-yc6cl]

Of course Ken is his biggest rival. They've been racing since 85s at Lorettas, and they've always been the same/similar speed. They had epic battles in 250s, MXDN, and 450.

[@zardportugal]

LEGEND!

[@deanwaring6100]

Just like his old man 😊❤

[@jackkanow5562]

[@TheMaster5150]

Laying low... lol... Eli has no fear of going toe to toe with Barcia while the other guys are looking for an opportunity to get around Barcia out of fear.

Its funny eli is hush hush and keeps to himself.yet is a huge fan of the sport

[@cancelculturegaming1326]

Et3 lookin as cooked as me on a Friday morning

[@jakubberes7427]

I still waiting for that Herlings vs Tomac race 😅

[@Viking380]

But it has to be MX in sand in the Netherlands on a true factory bike while Tomac rides a modified production bike? I think the only fair contest would be a series, race 1 as described above and race 2 a SX in the USA.

[@jakubberes7427]

@ yeah a series will be perfect. Maybe favourite Tomac track and second race Herlings track and last one will be both of their favourite track. Sx will be unfair because Herlings not racing supercross series

[@未知なるもの]

unfortunately missed out on asking him for The Herlings 1v1

[@motofunk1]

Kenny has talent, that dude can ride, but he has an ego problem. Too much I, I, I, not enough humility. The best example of this was when Musquin beat him at Straight Rhythm. PC built Kenny a perfect bike, the event was just for fun, and Marvin rode so good winning the event for the 5th time. In the interview after the finish Kenny had a list of excuses, but all he had to say was "Marvin kicked my butt, man that guy can ride, he is the king of this stuff, thanks to Mitch and PC for building me this kick ass machine", but no it was all about Kenny. The girl even through him a bone and he missed it with more excuses. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXqUZpuKoNidoqssi=mNINLTdAuU27Lht8&t=3809

[@chopperenduro6590]

Was that the one where David Pingree built the bike & got no love from him when it was over being interviewed .

[@motofunk1]

@@chopperenduro6590 Yes, I linked the interview in the previous post.

[@damoncallaway5450]

I wonder who he was referencing with that last comment……🤔……I gotta few good guesses……..I will say this my son’s first curse word was “fuckin friese”…….I forgot what happened, but I know my son loved Villo & then Tomac……Team Green Baby! It had to be a run in Tomac had with Friese, bc I vividly remember screaming “fckin friese”…..and my son screaming 🗣️ the same thing loudly until Mommy came into the livingroom & gave us both a tongue lashing 😅

Chase how the f did you leave out Ryan villipoto

[@fishin360]

What about Blake Baggett?

[@lincolnmarkviiguy366]

Does be get a percentage every time he says the word “like” and “bro”?

[@MotoCritic]

Chase Sexton needed a win more than any time in his career. When all the journalist predicted it was the decade of the Jett who was poised to rewrite the history books Chase tuned out the noise and did the work. Even when the entire team and companies’ future was uncertain and still is its day by day. His employer filing bankruptcy and undergoing a “restructuring” a.k.a everything is on the possible chopping block. His employer desperately needed the win more than Chase. He delivered and how. Does anyone doubt Sexton can deliver under pressure. Jett on the other hand had a melt down and finished 12th because “ Americans don’t like me” wha wha wha. Hey Jett do you see what happens when your a unethical self-centered brat and get peoples start money yanked because you don’t want them to steal any of your thunder from down under because of vanity? Or yank on another rider’s helmet like your bigger than the series entity. It backfires on you is what happens. Your done in the USA. Hunter as well. Chase is helping his employer out of a financial crisis by winning. Jett is causing one at Honda due to his overinflated salary and then under delivering. 12th is, well should be embarrassing on a factory Honda. Depends on how many donuts they sold and fan zones tickets. Jason Anderson, I salute you! It looked like he was trying to say something to you when you lined up next to him and you blew it off..hahahahahahah You architected his complete melt down thank you!

[@dyldo69]

Chase is that you ? Chill my guy its one race.

[@mark88mx7]

😂 Jett had 1 bad race… probably time for him to hang it up now then I suppose. Serious note both Jett and Hunter looked to be struggling with there bike at A1.
