@@nordica44 I expect to see him race in the fall. He doesn't have to race MX to qualify for the playoffs though. I believe he was in the top 10 in combined SX/MX points with just his SX results lol.
You can always tell when Eli kicks it in to Beast Mode, when the roost off his back wheel comes before the apex of the turn. He was in cruise mode here.
tomac has such an incredible style. Hes just brute force. It was truly an honor to see him race at MXON this year. Especially to see him come around in the lead the first moto. Chilling experience
The guy is at his absolute peak in his retirement year. Let that sink in. I hope he reconsiders and we get to see him for a full Sx, Mx, and SMX season.
Herlings has talked about maybe trying to come do a few seasons over here before he retires, would be a shame if tomac is gone and they can't battle it out for a title
When Eli said that the bike is lighter,more maneuverable and jumps like a bicycle...that's scary stuff for the competition!! Looks like He has bike dialed!
Great to hear the distinctive sound of Eli and the Yamaha. Looking forward to seeing Eli and all the other top riders at ANAHEIM 1. It's a pity Dungey won't be there though.
He’s making it look effortless out there . I think everyone one else honestly should be worried. If this man is as relaxed and smooth as he is here , at A1 , he will be basically unbeatable. That’s the beast mode .
WOW!......I have to re-evaluate here. Eli looks faster, smoother and more confident on the new bike than last year. He looks so smooth, but he is crushing it with speed.
@@kimcrews1721 and seriously in our sport this guy has been second place in how many championships? So he should already have been officially one of if not the best of all time! And the fact that he’s riding better than he ever has, especially getting off that pig of a bike, the 2022, and now look how he is diving inside in the corners hard if he wants to and he’s a master at getting traction! I dunno this video has me a bit messed up! He’s just amazing to watch and i hope he takes up Jeffrey Herlings offer on the one on one race and smokes him! Get it Eli !
@@garyhatstat8449 Yamaha was the best move he made. I'm 57 years old. Although my first introduction to riding was the beast of all beasts the Honda 2 stroke cr500, I rode a Yamaha for over 25 years. I love it when the other riders say they can hear Eli coming up on them. I love his riding style. I think he can ride just about any bike. He is a GOAT in my eyes. He's gonna smoke me for sure. He's one of the greatest guys in the industry.
ET3 is on fire... but I don't expect him to challenge hard at A1. If it comes to him... sure why not take a A1 win and the title.. no one has ever so they say... ✌😎
He is using lots less effort, is what I see. The bike looks lighter, more agile. Definitely going to be interesting if rest of teams didn't up their game, they are in big trouble. Honestly his team mates could be his only competition. #9 will be strong this year as well
There aren’t too many people that can ride the pace needed to win for as long as he’s been doing it. One of the most professional racers ever .Obviously the record book speaks for itself. On another note ,I just came to the realization that I (we) are probably never going to get to see a full season with Tomac and Herlings battling. That’s a bummer. Maybe there’s a reason that never came to fruition.
bike certainly looks alot stiffer this year. idk if that will gel with eli or not, it looked like he was running the suspension a little softer last year when he dominated. Check out how it looked in the whoops last year compared to this video, or how much compression he had with a g out or heavy seat bounce last season.
i agree that last season eli looked to be on a softer set up than normal, at least compared to others. Stiffer bike should hold up better in the whoops, i think the ones on that track are a poor example though.
Bro, that 4fiddy aint nothing to him! hes wide here, letting it dump here, while wide, I mean, come on and yall wanna try this guy tomorrow?...lol. GL🙏
That bike sounds insane
He looks totally relaxed on that bike and smooth I think he’s gonna be a force
Was there any version of Tomac riding in a 2 minute video that you couldn't make this statement?
@@NeoMK, touché. Lol. However, I might still argue that he was a force in this video as well...
What do you mean think he’ll be a force😂. He just won everything there was to win😂
@@jayhuspen85, exactly.

Was gonna say he looks around 80% except the whoops, the bike looks better, more stable there than the previous video

Wow! Eli looks great on that bike! So smooth & effortless, watch out
The guy is at his absolute peak in his retirement year. Let that sink in. I hope he reconsiders and we get to see him for a full Sx, Mx, and SMX season.

no stupid mindless rap no bs slow mo ho moe just greatness as it is thank you the best vid ive seen in so long
The force is strong with that one I saw him at the nation's race amazing rock on tomac
Eli is going to do the impossible and back up both titles. Et1 in the house let's go
And the crazy thing is, you’re probably right.
I like his mid air throttle rev acknowledging the pit board/trainers lol. dudes lookin real comfortable out there. gonna be a good season
When Eli said that the bike is lighter,more maneuverable and jumps like a bicycle...that's scary stuff for the competition!! Looks like He has bike dialed!
That red plate looks sexy on that YZ. 2 more days baby. Let’s get this A1 ET3!
2 more days till what?
@@ChaseBerry it’s currently Thursday where I live two days from now is Saturday. Saturday is A1 right?
He looks comfortable, this should send chills for everybody else
Great to hear the distinctive sound of Eli and the Yamaha. Looking forward to seeing Eli and all the other top riders at ANAHEIM 1. It's a pity Dungey won't be there though.
That new Yamaha looks really good !
They made a lot of changes that you can’t see from the outside and some you can .
He’s making it look effortless out there . I think everyone one else honestly should be worried. If this man is as relaxed and smooth as he is here , at A1 , he will be basically unbeatable. That’s the beast mode .
Yep. You called it!
WOW!......I have to re-evaluate here. Eli looks faster, smoother and more confident on the new bike than last year. He looks so smooth, but he is crushing it with speed.
the new Yamaha looks small in the front which could play a huge role late in the races with stamina. Looking forward to seeing the guys race tomorrow
Faster than anyone else. And that’s all that matters. Go ET3
I’m digging the new swap Moto live graphic in the intro!
Eli looks as good on the new Yamaha as Kenny looks on the old Suzuki. Should be a great year!
The CHAMP!!!! Eli Tomac #1
Looks like he has that 2023 dialed in. very very comfortable looking on it. Wow
If he gets a 3rd sx title this year he deserves to be in the convo for being on the mt rushmore of riders.
He already is my friend . Stats don’t lie .
@@kevinsnow9157 I mean, RV, Stew, RC, Mc would say otherwise but i understand you feeling that way
That bike and him look symbiotic! Sx time!!! 🎉
The new bike sounds absolutely amazing.
the bob ross of motocross. i could watch this all day!!!
That bike sounds mean…super crisp and ready to bark at the slightest crack of the throttle! 💪🤘🏻
Good luck champ!
So effortlessly makes it look easy.. my 4-year-old grandson idolizes Eli. He also will make it look easy. Remember the name Drake Brewer!
super smooth.. and smooth is FAST!
Smooth and effortless.
Beautiful bike...looks great!
In all honesty he looks unbeatable!
I agree. He makes it look so easy. He's the champ for a reason

Incomprehensible speed
The Mountain Goat!!!
He is one badass rider.
He looked much much much faster in the video from yesterday actually .
Goddamn those Yamis are sexy. Don't recall Tomac ever being much of a rev limiter guy but he's definitely giving that thing the juice.
Have you ever seen him race in person? Sounds a lot different then he does on tv, the guy has the throttle pinned constantly
@@Upthebroncos310 I have. Guess I never noticed it until now. The audio quality on this video is very good.

Rv was the last to do it, doesn’t happen often
Damn. He looks on point

Beautiful bike
Maestro!!!
Reminds me of Villopoto, shreds the berms like no other
Looks smooth on this track. The big thumper is probably in 3rd gear all the way🤷♂️
For those of you looking for an answer in the comments prior to watching the video, the answer is VERY FAST!
So does Kenny Rozcen looked killer fast to on the Suzuki
Sweet lord, How stiff are the bikes now,, The seat barley went down when he climbed on it,, Sure wasn't no 100mm sag there.
When my new BMX bike gets delivered, I will be riding streets like that...in my own mind.

Damn what a beast...
Id like to hear what he has to say about the bike. But he is pretty reserved what he really thinks until the years almost over.
ET1
He didnt pass one person lol, He looks really comfortable,alot more reving than he usually does, cant really tell speed but looks great..
Shit! ET is hauling 🥶
He’s going fucking fast
Seems like he is riding with his front end high a lot more than I remember.
Every year that goes by these bikes are looking more and more like a mountain bike with an engine added to it.
monster
Tomac will go as fast as he is self-motivated to go. Simple as that.
ET3 will dominate in 2023 beginning with A-1
😂😂😂😂
brutal.
I Like roczen more, but Tomac Looks so relaxed on the Bike
it would look like he's going a lot faster if he had a few "oh sh#t" moments like the rest of us :)
I am not a Kenny fan but looks like he is going faster on the suzuki
He looks great. I still don’t want to pick him on week 1 fantasy.
Can somebody call herlings and show how its done?
bike certainly looks alot stiffer this year. idk if that will gel with eli or not, it looked like he was running the suspension a little softer last year when he dominated. Check out how it looked in the whoops last year compared to this video, or how much compression he had with a g out or heavy seat bounce last season.

Everyone looks fast alone........kinda riding like he is just fukin found.....playin
Why this bike looks tiner/ compact... looks like a bicicle on ET hands
That yamaha is throaty asf deep growls sounds just as loud as last years.
That bike seems so loud
Ask Herlings
Looking good but still don’t think his whoop speed comes close to roczen 🤷♂️
Hopefully he's just chillin here. Cause I recon Ferrandis is faster at this point in time.
Eli 🐐 Cruise mode
When he has to catch Chase its beast mode time does it easy 💪
Well? How fast is he going?
Did anyone ever answer the question ?
The answer is "yes"!
Don’t look like he’s pushing just flowing
Sounds cheese but he looks one with the bike. Looks so effortless and dialed in
Fast as fuck boooooiiiiiiii
Sexton is gonna need a better bike if wants to beat tomac 😭
Looks more of a shakedown than him trying to fly
Ando and KR looks fastar
Webb looked just as good or better at that track. I need to stop watch them.
probably faster but I don't think he is as smooth as CR22 at his peak
The rest of the guys better hope he struggles with the bike. Sure doesn't look like it though
Bro, that 4fiddy aint nothing to him! hes wide here, letting it dump here, while wide, I mean, come on and yall wanna try this guy tomorrow?...lol. GL🙏
I think I could beat him..................................... in an arm wrestle.
He’s not as fast as herlings is the answer
Who ?
This track reminds me exactly of glen Helens supercross track.
you can see how expensive that suspension is lol
Dudes gonna embarrass the entire field. Butter smooth. et3 for the 3rd time.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
??FAST
Not as fast as Ricky.
KR looks faster on the Suzuki. Faster through the whoops, corners, and rhythm sections.
KR + Suzuki = WINNING!
Exactly u got that right sexton look fast too during his preparation for supercross to Anderson as well plus I’m not counting out Webb either
@t f We'll see.
@t f Webb almost got him in the heat. Don't think he faded though, I think it was mainly just Webb riding a shorter track.
@t f Great to see Webb at the pointy end again.
