Such a good dude ! Eli is my favorite rider.

[underthetrees]

So stoked he's in for 2025, I thought he would be, him and Jett outdoors is gonna be incredible.

[blizzard]

Him saying he is going to be racing in 2025 ! just made my day!!!

[toddsimone]

So happy Eli's sticking around we get to witness more BEAST MODE! I feel he's one of the only guys to give Jett a run for his money and he's been building over the season and we haven't seen the best of him yet. Can't wait to see him get back to his full potential.

[bikeriderlife]

Thank god he going to keep racing!! I don’t know that it will be the same after he’s gone 😢

[BN-xjwr]

ELI IS A TOP DOG AND CAN BE FOR A WHILE.

[garysebenick]

Stoked to have Eli still in the Sport....forget all the crazy ARE WATCHING AN ALL TIME GREAT!! JUST ENJOY!!🤙✌️

[chriss]

We will get to see Eli at 100% in outdoors ! And he will beat jett. Can't wait because he hadn't been 100% yet at all

[gerrymiller]

My favorite rider as well. He’s up there with the big dogs, McGrath, Ricky and Stew.

[Leland]

And one thing about Eli is he always enjoyed the moments, staying to his normal life when you are famous is pretty awesome

[dougstar]

As an aussie, by default I'm going for technically an underdog of the sport in Jett but im absolutely stoked to hear my favourite rider of all time is continuing on, and mention of 2025? Absolutely unreal. Tomac truly is a beast

[UFOEVO]

I love to see Eli so happy these days he was always stone cold in his younger days. Us fans appreciate everything you've done and accomplished in the sport. I hope he has another 2-3 years and then rides off into the sunset and remains an ambassador for Yamaha.

[HeavyK_MXB]

Not even Lee Diffey at the end could ruin this amazing interview, so glad he's sticking around a while!

[mrabrasive]

I think having Jett in the series is what motivated him to race outdoors.its gonna push him and hopefully push jett!

[dadlife]

Can you turn the music up? I can hear what they're saying

[churchofbrap]

I feel like Tomacs entire comeback is fueled by Zachos tweet a year or two ago. Ever since then, Elis #1 objective is to prove Zachos wrong, !

[LeeTillbury]

Class can't be learnt. You have it or don't. ET3 has it in bucket loads.

[superfly]

I like it that Eli "Tippy Toe" Tomac will be racing MX this Summer. But, and I think that everyone would agree that it's a Big But, he isn't doing his legacy a favor. I don't expect to see Eli in 2025.

[harveyable]

Wait, didn't he do something similar last year? Just before Denver (just like this) he did a interview with nbc to announce he was going to race outdoors and smx. Then he went out and was leading and popped the Achilles. I hope history dont repeat or this could be his "Achilles heal". (No pun intended, okay maybe a little 😉)

[georgelynch]

Has Eli ever won a race outside of the USA?
