Sly Eli will be a threat to the big bike class as soon as he gets on the 450..He seems to have the S tools, speed and smarts...His family knows what it takes to succeed, and they have done a great job getting him ready to fulfill his destiny in motocross.

Helmets off and a big THUMBS UP to the TOMACS!!!!

Eli is still in the hunt for the 250 title! We are coming up on tracks that favor Barcia rather then Blake...if they slip up Eli could slide right in there!

Tomac is an example of a common thread on here - that is class and good sportsmanship. He rides clean, never says a bad word, and is an outstanding example for his sponsors. Let’s face it, with RD, RV, Reed, Stewart, Canard, Barcia moving up, Tomac moving up, and a bunch of fast guys, not everyone can win a championship. Only one SX and one MX Title is given out each year. What remains important is how each rider races and conducts himself in search of that championship. In that regard, Tomac is awesome.

Eli has been a pleasure to watch since we were at the amateur nationals. Great kid- super fast and super focused. Love the humbleness and professionalism.
Just like his dad.
Don't blame him for not wanting to race mountain bikes- damn! Could you imagine trying to fill those shoes? Smart choice Eli-
Good luck. God Bless.
