    Also wanted to say that Eli is not only a phenomenal athlete, but he’s a good guy. A lot of guys don’t want to listen to their dads. They want to storm off and figure things out for themselves. Eli is smart for following his dads advice. And his dad is a good good man. That’s what being a father is all about.

    I hope Eli has a great year and gives us the pleasure of watching him race a couple more years. The racing won't be the same without him. He's always that question mark, with him there's that possibility of seeing something incredible, a 30+second lead, last to first, a 8th or just a great battle. He's my guy till he hangs up the boots!! Go ET3!!
    Going to Yamaha has me a little worried but I'm positive he knows what he's doing

      I don’t know why going to Yamaha has you worried when it’s a really good bike which all the guys last year proved. AP, Stewart from not even riding a year or so was top 5 most all the time and of course Ferrandis! At his track 1st day at his track his lap times were faster as well.

    Never been a fan of green, never really like to kawi that much, but Eli Tomac is just incredible, I am so excited to see him on blue I can't wait to see what he can do, I'm a big Cooper Webb fan and to be honest I would like to see webb win again, I would not even mind if Ken Roczen won, but I really believe that Yamaha is going to suit tomax riding style very well I think that bike is going to compliment him and I think at this point in his career you could put him on a pit bike and he could probably win..
