No picture of the mangled bike? No summary of why he couldn’t continue? How are we to stop the conspiracy?

Oh good – we're still making unnecessary drama about this.

I was afraid we were finally starting to take people for their word.

I accept what he said! I don’t think that kid has “quit” in his bones!

Come on its clear that someone in the Kawasaki camp is sabatoging his bike. Mysterious front brake lock up issues, exploding belt buckles, disintegrating throttle grips. Total inside job. We need an investigation.

That he is a quitter and quits for no good reason. It’s been all over this place perpetuated by the UFO/alien believing, meat helmet wearing the Russians are reading our minds thru the tv conspiracy theorists!

I started to lose respect for him when he chose not to race the Motocross of Nations. All this quitting reinforces my my opinion. I hope he never gets asked to represent our country again.

Tomac, Please race the GP's, it would be fun to watch.

Sincerely 95% of us. The other 5% think SX is the holy grail.

Yeah, if I was Kawasaki's lead rider...was making millions, and was the favorite to win...if I caught my bars on another rider and we went down. Screw it...I'd just pull back in the pits. WTF...it could have been worse.

DeCoster is watching.

maybe its team orders.......championship is gone, if you go down just pull in. we will go after the outdoor title.

why risk the outdoor season battling for 15th could be the strategy.

fyi im not a fan but this could very well be the case, if it is tomac is a awesome dude for taking all the criticism and not spilling the beans.

I heard from a very good source that he's not happy and just riding out his contract.

This is written by a PR person...I doubt Eli actually said those words exactly...it's laughable that "the other rider" was his teammate Grant!!

I think he spent so long waiting for a cell signal that he ran out of minutes on his prepaid phone. He’s hitchhiking to the 7-11 as we speak to reload the phone...

I saw a picture of his bike afterward with a broken brake line. Thought it was confirmed.

I'm always worried about those people. You did forget one thing though.....they just love punching kitten's in the face.

Definitely not buying a Kawasaki now. I crash too much for bikes to become that unrideable. Apparently once them green machines touch the ground in any fashion......They’re incapacitated to where they only function properlyfrom the impact of the crash back to the mechanic for a 30 second look over....then only rideable to the pit.

What he really said,
We got our dunlops hooking up great on the start, then we tangled with other riders who also had hookin' up dunlops!
We then lost our grip and our bike went down the track on its own, thanks to its perfectly balanced KYB suspension.
When we went to look for it, we couldnt find the grips. So we decided we couldn't race.
I can't thank the team for the work we do. We will be back next week!

Man every year it's one rider or another that gets beat up on and disrespected around here. Last year Barcia sucked, and didn't deserve a ride. Two good finishes this year and yall complain he doesn't have a ride.

When Tomac destroyed the first two rounds in 2015 outdoors, everyone got in line to shine his knob because he was going 24-0. And Dungey couldn't win cause Tomac got in his head.

Tomac is a total bad ass with tons of fight. I saw it at Glenn Helen last year when he went from 1-1/2 laps down to 19th with no front brake on the hills at Glen Helen just to score 1 point toward the championship. I remember all the know it alls saying he was stupid to take the risk. But he won the title.

Post a reply to: REALLY? That’s all HE said?
