A decade ago... *#Reed** was 32 years, 11 months, & 6 days old when he won the Atlanta SX race on February 21st 2015* *#Tomac** was 32 years 2 months & 4 days old when he won the SX race in San Diego on January 18th 2025*
Weege, that was a great testimonial to Eli. I agree with every word. I am just to happy for him. He's healthy, fit, happy and has nothing to prove. Go Eli!
Omg best race I have ever seen and Jett was Geeking after the race I have never seen ET ride that fast and the reviving of the clutch omg he's my favorite of all time
Eli said this was the hardest he had raced and had no time to rest, both him and Jett rode great and it was good to watch, i know they made adjustments on the Honda which made it some what better today, but once they figure it out more, Jetts going to be able to push harder.
Unbelievable commentary Weege! You really nailed the sentiment! What an amazing race. I just wish they could get those dang lapped ridders to get the F outta the way! Especially Freezer Head! That guy needs to be dealt with. He must have Friends in High places or dirt on someone cause He just keeps hurting people and outcomes.
In 250's good to see JuJu pushing pace. Had Plenty of speed avilable..Nice to See other guys getting the Dub's..over the bandwagon chatter.. Good stuff Weege.
MY PERSONAL NOTES FOR THE MAIN EVENTS (IDGAF about practice or heats) · Yamaha blue balls on the 2nd half of that main event, reminded me of the Alonso vs Schumacher duels in Imola in like 2004 and 2005 - Tremendous show of skills and they were close... but no passes or mistakes happened! · The comeback part of the race was amusing. Malcolm and Hunter cost Jett around 3" and then C-Webb must've cost ET3 like 4" or more. · Hunter was way more proper than in A1 despite whatever was bothering him, that's nice · Prado again the worst of the factory guys that went the distance. He didn't get lapped, that's something... maybe. · The most interesting interviews for the post-race would be JCoop and Anderson because WTF happened in just 7 days · Good for Beaumer, Davies needs more training for long runs. Maybe Cole can do 15' great on his own but 15' while fighting feels like 20' or more and he can't handle it. · Jordon Smith ain't quite it but I don't think it's the Triumph, I'd describe that bike's performance as "generic" (I don't understand why Triumph got into this, it's not like you can boast about anything really in dirtbike racing even if you're great) · Surprisingly enough, Deegan lost a bit of time to Beaumer late in the race and also wasn't cutting much back when he had a clean track ahead earlier on. · Shimoda survived, basically did what Jett did 7 days ago (easy 7th is better than trying to kill yourself for 5th) but for different reasons · TV direction sucked for the 250F main event, much better job for the 450F one
@Sh1tstir - Wait, Anderson crashed after ET3 crossed the line or what? I took the results from the final shot of the tower and Prado was like 3" behind JCoop, Anderson was like 6" ahead of Jorge
Sets a new record as well, 11 years straight of winning! Also kudos to JoSho, racing with 2 broken fingers, that takes grit! Webb doesnt have the raw speed that Eli, Chase and Jett has. Eli and Jett blew by him, and Kenny. Nasty flu going thru the paddock eh, AP7 pulled out. What a magical night of racing! Tomac even proved RC wrong, haha!
Hey weege love ya work mate but a quick one, what are the chances you can have a yarn to the camera crew. Consistently year after year they seem to fuck it up always…. Watching qualifying someone will be on a heater lap then they swap to Billy eating a hot dog in the stand then swap to someone on the start line. During heats and races there will be a close battle on and we’re watching 19th and 20th place rolling the whoops chasing their shadow. Cheers mate ❤
As a Ozi I wanted Jett to Win but at 62 years old I watched Tomac a lot Jett got back on Tomac tail quickly but didn't pass it was like he settled for 2nd
Hello Jason ,please could you remind stewart when he comments to call the riders by their name not firstname;instead of Levi,Julien or Max, with KITCHEN,BEAUMER and ANSTIE we all get it. Thank you,you are the best,the most pleasant to listen ,A LEGEND. stewart talks too much he is just insupportable .
As an *Eli* fan this wasn't "Beast Mode" he rode great, he got the start & held off *Jett.* I'll have to check Lap Times, because later wee he was 3rd fastest coming though tge pack When it comes to talk about age & family wasn't answered on this "Simple" track. Meaning there was no crazy rhythm. Like why he lost *Daytona* last year. When he wasn't willing to do the quad...
Agree, Tomac rode amazing, probably as good as his prime years, but he still couldn't shake Jett off, and that Jett still didn't look that comfy to me, specially in the whoops, so looking forward to later round where both are at 100%
Jett is definitely winning this title. His bike is still clearly not right and he was hounding Eli for half the race on a track that had no good passing zones. Jett will have the points lead by the end of Daytona and then it's over for everybody else.
Hmm seems to me Toesmack passed Jett in the sand. Sexton went from last to sixth. There was plenty of passing 😂 jett just couldn’t seal the deal tonight
I'd put ET3 into the LeBron category as in how long he's been a top contender... He's not an RC4 or MC2 (KOBE or MJ), but hes right there with JS7 and RV2 in my eyes! 💪🤘
How good was the racing accross both classes. Bumed for Davies he was looking good until that 1 mistake it kind of shook him up for a couple of minutes thankfully for Deegan mind you. Jetts bike still looked like a dog in the whoops, every lap Tomac would pull 3 to 5 tenths every lap in that area and that usually was his 1 one wood back 24".
Coming from a fairly bias, but self aware Tomac fan; I think the argument could be made that his peak “beastmode” A-game would beat any other all-time greats A-game. The only exception would be 02-04 outdoors Ricky, and when Yamaha eta Bubba in SX.
Its one race with Jett trying to sort out a new bike , I am a big jett fan but everyone including me is a Tomac fan ,but c'mon Tomac was flying tonite , no one is going to begrudge Tomac winning , but be real Tomac best Beast Mode is not going to beat Jett Lawerence by 20 seconds heads up , its just not going to happen , Give the Kid some credit , whether you like it or not Jett is already an all time legend.- when Jett sorts that bike out it will be back to Jett winning everything.
The only reason your not calling this a beast mode ride is because Jett hung with him the whole way. The pair of them put seconds into Webb once they passed him it was definitely beast mode you could see at the end of the race he was pretty gassed that was maximum effort, Jett was bouncing round like it was nothing im sure he was feeling it to but he was genuinely stoked and had energy ....... youthful exuberance maybe. It was seriously like watching Reed v Charmicheal just stalking each other. The big difference was whoop speed Eli was just faster through them the Honda still looks funky in them.
Idk why everyone thinks 32 is old in super and motocross it's not if u want bad enough u will make it happen I'm 41 and I work my ass off and feel like im 20 yea my body feels it and it takes me longer to recover but old is 60😂 32 is the new 20😂
My take Sexton is looking the best right now but has less room for improvement as the season goes on, Jett has the biggest room for improvement and Tomac is in the middle. I think Jetts advantage over Tomac and Sexton will improve by the end of the season but there is a chance it doesn't come fast enough or at all, so it's looking like it has the potential to be one of the best Supercross seasons, up there with my favourite year 1991 JMB all day.
I disagree with weege a bit here. The only reason this is a conversion is cos tomac finally got the upper hand and we all wanted to see tomac beat the kid. If jett passed him we would all be saying the same thing. Tomacs old , jetts young etc. Vegas smx was 3 months ago. Not that long. Tomac is a not new person. At smx he was 1-2 seconds off winning in a 20 min race. That's like 0.1% off winning.
Eli isn't the best, never will be. The supercross media hyping him up. He never beat dungey to a championship. He won his first in covid when the last few rounds were all at Salt Lake, suiting him. He was a bottle job the years before and won the championship two years after the greats retired. He won more races than others because rv retired at a young age, dungey retired at a young age. It's a joke the eli narrative.
Hes a bit like JS7 won alot of races buy only ever got 2 sx titles yet he's regarded as one of the best to do it........ come on man ET3 has been winning for a long time cant take that away from him second all time winningest sx rider. You can't take the facts away, should he have won more championship's with those stats probably but thats racing and injuries play there role.
Remember when the start just had a gate and bikes had a kick starter oversize dog's 🦕🦖 clutching around with cables not hydrolic that was cool 😎 And yeah 250 , 2 strokes rocked .. still do well yeah easy kick start no electronics mud is still mud .. No matter what the weight of the 450 stroker intake compression power exhaust..counting to 4 is annoying 😂 is huge⚖️ against the 2 stroke crankcase reed induction, ✌️ 👏 this weight ⚖️ factor alone speaks volumes about riders today in supercross how easy they make it look 💯
To listen to eli and his clutch was pure heaven.......beast mode......
Passing Jett around the outside in the sand was the move of the race.
That pass was savage. Considering the outside was slower a few laps later.
So sick! 💯
Truth is, it only worked because Mookie was in Jett’s line
Jett passed tomac first using the same line, them next lap he went inside and tomac went outside and passed him back
The one quote I want to hear is:
“Well, I have to defend my SX title.
So I’ll be back next year.” -Eli
Glad to know that you’ll be back in the broadcast booth next week. 👍
Awesome for Eli. His wife and kids at the finish line. Running the red plate at A2 is awesome..
Eli is still Captain America even though the US media has been trying to give his shield to Chase.
He will not go quietly into the night
Well said
💯
A decade ago...
*#Reed** was 32 years, 11 months, & 6 days old when he won the Atlanta SX race on February 21st 2015*
*#Tomac** was 32 years 2 months & 4 days old when he won the SX race in San Diego on January 18th 2025*
Old supercross riders never die, they just go faster.💪🇺🇸
Yep. These are the days to relish. These are the races even kids will say were "the good old days"
With Tomac and Chase in form.... The real question is will Jett even win a race this year?
You're the best Weege
I just wanna say your computer chair looks extremely comfortable Weege.
Weege, that was a great testimonial to Eli. I agree with every word. I am just to happy for him. He's healthy, fit, happy and has nothing to prove. Go Eli!
Omg best race I have ever seen and Jett was Geeking after the race I have never seen ET ride that fast and the reviving of the clutch omg he's my favorite of all time
When Jett spoke..... Eli and Webb was like..."really"
All I can say is this year is going to be THEE best season of all times if everybody stays healthy, Anybody can win here ANYBODY
Juju has Deegan on his heels for sure
Tomac such a bad ass! So damn good!
Eli said this was the hardest he had raced and had no time to rest, both him and Jett rode great and it was good to watch, i know they made adjustments on the Honda which made it some what better today, but once they figure it out more, Jetts going to be able to push harder.

Riders race for a lot longer now barring injury can you imagine how many wins Jett will have until he hangs the helmet up great race Eli 🤙

Prado finished in front of Anderson my man so the worst factory guy was Anderson or if you want to include Beta it was Benny Bloss
@Sh1tstir - Wait, Anderson crashed after ET3 crossed the line or what? I took the results from the final shot of the tower and Prado was like 3" behind JCoop, Anderson was like 6" ahead of Jorge
dammit jason the audio!!!!!
Audio is perfect, I'd say you have an issue your end dude.
Same here. Only got audio on the left speaker. Same thing often happens with his podcast
Monaural audio.
Great, it’s not just me! I thought I lost all hearing in my right ear 👂
Sets a new record as well, 11 years straight of winning!
Also kudos to JoSho, racing with 2 broken fingers, that takes grit!
Webb doesnt have the raw speed that Eli, Chase and Jett has. Eli and Jett blew by him, and Kenny. Nasty flu going thru the paddock eh, AP7 pulled out.
What a magical night of racing! Tomac even proved RC wrong, haha!
thank goodness weege didn't hum two stroke noises because my left ear would be gone
Let's give Jett some credit ,Jett is going to crush it .Its inevitable
How is AP?
Hey weege love ya work mate but a quick one, what are the chances you can have a yarn to the camera crew. Consistently year after year they seem to fuck it up always…. Watching qualifying someone will be on a heater lap then they swap to Billy eating a hot dog in the stand then swap to someone on the start line. During heats and races there will be a close battle on and we’re watching 19th and 20th place rolling the whoops chasing their shadow. Cheers mate ❤
The broadcast was very good with Leigh and Ricky in the booth. A lot less talking over one another than usual.
As a Ozi I wanted Jett to Win but at 62 years old I watched Tomac a lot Jett got back on Tomac tail quickly but didn't pass it was like he settled for 2nd

What network is SMX on? Do I have too pay for it?
I only know about watching the Peacock broadcast but ......
Jett is definitely winning this title. His bike is still clearly not right and he was hounding Eli for half the race on a track that had no good passing zones.
Jett will have the points lead by the end of Daytona and then it's over for everybody else.
Massive tomac fan, but i tend to agree.
Either way, tonight was great
Hmm seems to me Toesmack passed Jett in the sand. Sexton went from last to sixth. There was plenty of passing 😂 jett just couldn’t seal the deal tonight
It will be the proper passing of the torch that we could have had a year ago. Jett on the comeback all year and passes him late in the season.
@@jay1353 Jett only running at 70 % ,give it a few weeks and the Honda will be dialed and Tomac will struggle to keep up . Jett winning this title .
I'd put ET3 into the LeBron category as in how long he's been a top contender... He's not an RC4 or MC2 (KOBE or MJ), but hes right there with JS7 and RV2 in my eyes! 💪🤘
Wait until Honda get their bikes sorted.
Weege do you know how Talon Hawkins and Avery Long are after there crashes?
Yeah 30 ish isnt Old.. espesically when Hungry. Fans are stoked..He's in shape..and wants redemtion..for '23.
How good was the racing accross both classes. Bumed for Davies he was looking good until that 1 mistake it kind of shook him up for a couple of minutes thankfully for Deegan mind you.

You and JT get to tell Steve “Told ya so!” What a doofus lol
Yeah I like Steve but he was way off on the #3
@ronross6 Steve always been anti tomac
AP?????? anyone know what happened to AP?
Hit the back of his teammate and got hurt
@@fleece192they said he was sick too
Idk why everyone thinks 32 is old in super and motocross it's not if u want bad enough u will make it happen I'm 41 and I work my ass off and feel like im 20 yea my body feels it and it takes me longer to recover but old is 60😂 32 is the new 20😂
