Can we get Eli on the show please????????🙏🏻

[@KOM-jh]

He's an elusive creature.

[@BeauNeeley]

That would be great

[@doglover136_]

when he retires, a few years into retirement, i would think yeah he would go on the show

[@harvey663able]

Check out the whiskey throttle show that David pinggree has done. He had him on the show by himself and did another show with Eli and chase after Eli won his last outdoor championship in 22.

[@mirraco323]

I could be wrong, but I believe Jace said in a previous episode that Eli has promised him he would come on the show eventually. My guess is we will have to wait until he retires.

[@brucecox6085]

Eli's coming...he'll be back

[@mrpotatoheadracing]

Bubba and Eli were similar in a sense that when they found themselves, they were not going to be denied...

[@Leland387]

You're exactly right, tomac attacks the track alot like James did. Outdoors especially

[@Ravenu-hr5zy]

And both who should have a few more Sx tittles, in my opinion.

[@sled9263]

I sure would love to see Eli keep racing! He’s a great character.

[@DesertRatMX]

Great conversation. Love what's happening in the sport. Jett has really helped it be exciting partially by his riding and partially by creating a higher bar for other riders, causing them to up their game. And, all the new bikes that have come in and are coming in. The scary thing is is that he's going to get better and better. Throw in up and coming US riders and foreign ones like Prado. Mind blowing. So exciting.

[@psychofunksoldier02]

Really hope Eli rides outdoors this year!

[@tommysmithii4723]

Eli is riding too hard to call it quits! It seems like he is measuring Jett to see what he needs to do to beat him next season. You would think that if it was his last season there would be team orders to help Webb! I think we will see Eli outdoors.

[@Leland387]

I still don’t think Eli is fully back. Yeah yeah go ahead about Jett. But when Eli is on everybody will notice it history don’t lie.

[@OtisFlint]

Yep...when Eli is "on" he rides a 450 like a 250. He's had glimpses of it this year, but no consistency. Would be great to see him fully back.

I really like Eli. Fierce competitor he can see this new guy and he wants to see if he can take a piece, can he compete? Thats awesome to me and i really respect it. Would have been easy to retire. I dont think he can beat him, maybe once he can. But lets face it Jett is a freak and time is not on his side. Tomac will always be a legend and i will always be a huge fan.

[@eriksforestryvision8751]

Every win I've watched Eli win he just has that grit that's been Soo impressive.

[@gw4717]

Tomac is the man he's just the freaking man all I can say

[@scottbaker4314]

Eli is a Great Rider when he's on his game like Ryan V. Or Chad Reed just naming a few who gets those random wins and championships on and off early or late in their career. But history has proven riders like McGrath and Jett are those who absolutely dominate in their prime. It's very rare to have riders like those guys but it's a different level of talent. I have always been a Tomac fan and hope to see him continue to race

[@bbstacker4926]

I would like to see Eli do the nationals and at least one more year in supercross, more would be better.

[@Mctyz125M]

Eli needs redemption from the race before his heal. Needs to win at that stadium

Hope Eli gets the W in Denver this weekend 💪💪

[@rickblumenschein2433]

Eli is a good man

[@GlennBalneg-b5i]

Eli is the legend,so he has all the guts to encourage jett the newbie to be more responsible

[@DrtyALGreen]

Eli has 5 national titles as he won a 250 National Championship too. I respect how down to earth John was. He didn't expect a teenage Eli to compete with grown men equally. He was giving him the time to grow into his body and strength and he felt the whole industry needed to factor that in with more rides. I agree fully with that, they give up on dudes before they're done growing mentally and physically.

[@AlaskaTRX]

7 national championships (the 450 SX championships are national, too)

[@DrtyALGreen]

@@AlaskaTRX for sure Clinton was forgetting about on the the MX titles when he was doing is his list. Add on the SX titles Eli shouldve won(at least 2-3 more minimum and his career is Top 5 all time quality. He's eclipsed RV and Dung with the Star years imo.

[@joel387ktm]

​@@DrtyALGreen🤣🤣🤣 you should rethink those thoughts RV won 4 straight SX titles done only by mcgrath

[@DrtyALGreen]

@@joel387ktm I don't give a shit that he won sx titles then got hurt or just didn't race MX. MX is the harder and more hardcore title to win. I love RV but Eli has surpassed him for me simply due to longevity and the ability to stay healthy(last year was the first time he missed races in 5+ years, RV never stayed healthy that long).

[@joel387ktm]

​@@DrtyALGreenyou mustve forgot he won 3 mx lites titles one as a true rookie something only other carmichael has done and he won every mx title he finished on a 450 your the only one who cares about longevity the rest of us are comparing titles what is your excuse for eli losing the 17 18 19 sx titles he was easily the best rider he choked plain and simple put your feelings aside and use your brain your thinking with your heart like a woman pal

[@robertrishel3685]

Two days later at Denver supercross 2024 and Tomac announces he is all in for the remainder of the 2024 season, outdoors included!!!!! AND he intends to do the same through 2025!!!! THE BEST NEWS OF THE YEAR! Awesome! This thing where motocross racers retire by 27 is total bullshit! These guys, if they take care of themselves and are fortunate enough to avoid too many injuries, should be racing and fully competitive well into their 30’s, no reason not to be! Men like Eli Tomac will pioneer this thinking and get us all past this headgame NONSENSE!

That is a big if. Jett has lucked out numerous times this year in his crashes. He is one bad femur break from disaster. I've seen it many times in our sport. Bob Hanna was untouchable and broke his femur water sking!! Never the same again.

How did no one think Webb would be better than Tomac this season? Seriously? Webb went to a MUCH better bike injury free and Tomac had a serious injury and got another year older into his 30s. Webb was making it close even last season. To think Webb wouldn’t be better this season is some SERIOUS disrespect to Webb. 🤦‍♂️

[@stevenleek9442]

So what's his excuse for finishing 2nd to jett this year ?

[@ScottAllenSparks]

@@stevenleek9442 excuse? Jett’s just been better this year. No excuses. I’m not surprised at all though that it’s Webb that’s the only one that’s challenged Jett this season.

[@ScottAllenSparks]

@@stevenleek9442 Webb is literally the only rider that owns it when he’s been bad. He doesn’t blame the bike or anything other than himself. The last 2 weeks Webb hasn’t been good. That’s a fact.

[@stevenleek9442]

Webb hasn't challenged he's capitalised on mistakes etc.. sexton Webb Anderson should of stepped up the game this season and stopped jett, really the only one that gives me hope of taking jett on head to head is Tomac! And yes Webb has not blamed the bike because that bike has made him a lot better in opinion and suites his body stature and riding style better than the ktm. And again ill go back to Eli I believe that the only way Webb can win this championship is Eli getting it together this weekend and pushing jett to the limit the full 20 and forcing a mistake. I know jetts smart and excellent rider but I don't think he'll be able to contain himself if it happens.

[@ScottAllenSparks]

@@stevenleek9442 everytime it’s Tomac vs Jett Jett has blown by him and dropped Tomac. At least Webb has had a few races where he’s been within 4 seconds of Jett at the end. I don’t think Tomac has anything for Jett just by what I’ve seen.

[@jeff2333]

[@Tyler-bo5md]

Eli tomac is kind of like the Brett Favre of moto. A tough son of a bitch who can do something’s that are almost beyond human in their sport and don’t have all of the championships to show for it because sometimes the stars don’t align. However the rest of their stats show that holy shit these guys are good and damn they were good for a long time

I think eli is on the decline til retirement. Hes still great but the injury didnt help, his endurance seems iffy at times compared to some others and between chase, hunter, jett, etc coming up. And alot of talent in 250s. Hes not going to be dominant consistently anymore.

[@ScottAllenSparks]

If Tomac comes back next season he’ll still loose to Jett in supercross. A 21 year old is going to be faster than a 32 year old. It’s a no brainer. I’m not even a Jett fan but it’s common sense. Tomac will win some races but he won’t beat Jett for that championship. Hell, Tomac won’t even beat Webb in the standings next season.

Who really gives two shits if Eli is there or not , he can’t keep pace with Jett in SX so why would he be in any other place but the rear view in MX. I think great riders like Eli have trouble settling for anything but 1st.

[@kyleberger862]

At least he is out there still trying. Even if he knows Jett is faster he is not afraid to get beat. Look at dungey in 2017, he knees Eli was faster so he quit cause he knew he couldn’t hang. Competitors have that mindset of always improving. Look at tiger woods, always trying to get better.
