Will Eli Tomac race in inaugural SuperMotocross World Championship? | Motorsports on NBC

I have always been a huge fan. I hope he can finish it off good! I am really gonna miss him!

"Winning never gets old" Eli Tomac 😎

[damonforrest]

Good luck to Eli I know you’re gonna crush every season you enter. I think you’re going twice as fast on the new 450 this year through the Rhythm section in the whoops you’re just a lot better this year

[JR-utyx]

Doesn't matter it will still be good!

At the beginning, mentioning a hero. In the real meaning of a hero, a hero is someone who lays down/puts their life on the line for the benefit of others. There are war heroes and sometimes people demonstrate heroic behavior in time of need but a motocross racer is no hero in the sense. Eli is a great athlete and is looked up to by many but a hero is pushing it. Just some clarification. Now, kick but in the new year with the Yami 450F.

100% he races the whole thing! Not buying his claim. Who would pass on the historical possibility of being the first champion of SMWC.

I bet Chase Sexton's pretty happy about Eli skipping Motocross and the weird championship afterwards. And Jet is going to have something to say about everything too.

Leigh Diffey has grown on me he's a professional announcer just like Ralph. I mean what can you say about Eli that hasn't been said? This inaugural season is going to be awesome. I was so anti-Feld promotions, but they are all in on the greatest sport on the planet.

[meetURfate]

Well I’ll be sure to watch every supercross race before he hangs it up!

[Prettygiddy]

Not Happy Eli will not be at Redbud
However I will see him for Supercross in Indiana

[neilorange]

So what's next for ET³ does he go off into the mountains and exit the sport or does he stay in the sport in a role a Yamaha or announce the race like what does he do after this year because he doesn't do interviews or seem be involved in anything other than a racing machine I'm just asking I love Eli and I know he has the money to live life but are we seeing the last of him

[underthetrees]

I don't know why Eli is so committed to not racing MX this year, but zI wish he'd change his mind.

[shepherd_mx]

Remember that time Leigh Diffy got a call on the Pulp MX show? That was epic.

[clemsontigz]

Yamaha wasn't ready for eli when he was riding Kawi, could you imagine what Eli could've put down championship wise if he was on any machine that he felt comfortable on. He never gelled with that Kawi, at times yeah but he looked as if he had to force the issue to win on it. He looks like he did on his honda days on that yamaha .

[keiannschyler]

what makes a champion? skills and talent are the main ingredients. no matter how hard you train if you lack skills or talent, you are just a B rider.

[joshb]

So wait, why is tomac only doing supercross?

[kpsmith]

Leigh Diffey is a nerd, where is Danial Blair? Where is Ralph Sheheen?

[yourneck]

Most people don’t know……
The riders don’t like the schedule theirs more room for error than reward, so if your on top you don’t need nor want to ride everything……..!

[DouweEgbert]

Tomac should come MXGP and show us how good he really is .. maybe win a proper worldtitle MX

[stdj]

I think Eli is gonna look back on his championships and think “man…..I wore the ugliest sunglasses of all time”
