Dues to the Daddy

Offspring to ‘re-spring’: Eli Tomac talks about the mindset, the focus and the factors that have led to a powerful 2022 AMA Supercross campaign. We also find out a lot more about the new FIM Supercross World Championship.

The demeanour is between tiredness and self-assurance. The eyes have a few more wrinkles around the edges and the face has the slight haggard look of a man with two children under the age of two and that of an athlete at the end of a twelve consecutive weekends of supercross; although it’s a streak in which he has added seven further triumphs to his career total and has slipped a few fingers around a second 450SX championship trophy.

Eli Tomac sits down in Seattle to chat about the ingredients that have gone into a thumping 2022. His defection from Monster Energy Kawasaki after six years in green to Monster Energy Star Yamaha raised more than a few eyebrows in the off-season. Tomac had excelled on the KX450F but with a strange ‘hot-and-cold’ existence at Kawasaki that somehow seemed to edge him outside of discussions about the all-time greats of supercross racing. The environment he requested and created around him at Yamaha has seen the 29-year-old produce some of the best form of his career and since the quiet and private Colorado-native first fired onto the Pro scene in 2010 at Hangtown with victory in his first Lucas Oil AMA Pro National Motocross bow.

Eli is friendly and receptive but his slightly conservative nature comes across in answers where he sometimes measures how much he wants to explain, or wrestles with how he wants to articulate his thoughts. It seems like a media-wariness thing. Tomac’s barely passable social media presence and relative anonymity compared to the high-profile of someone like Ken Roczen means his motives and methods have not always been evident. It has left him open for criticism. A conversational on-the-record chat seems like a rare duty for him and other riders these days. “It’s more video [work] now,” he agrees. “Even our press conferences are more digital so it’s quite a disconnected feeling.”

In an effort to connect and discover why he has been able to boss the mental side of supercross that has seen hot competition from his former team and Jason Anderson – as well as evade some of the controversial clashes that have happened on track this season – we sit and take fifteen, as he zips from a Monster bottle in the Yamaha pit complex at the Lumen Field stadium…

You’re a father twice-over now…Yes, we have a daughter that is almost two and our son is just six months old. So, sleeping patterns were pretty irregular in the beginning but now I’d say we are quite settled in. There is nothing like having kids to show you how selfish you were before they came along.

In terms of racing, does the family offer you the perfect disconnection? Yeah, although it didn’t really change my working environment. Since I was 22 and moved out of my parents’ place I managed to have that good balance between the work at the track and what I was doing at home. Having kids didn’t change that much for me. The fame thing…I don’t know: I think it just makes me more appreciative of both sides. I love going home to see the kids but at the same time I’m getting a lot of drive for my riding and working environment.

So, both sides feed into each other? That’s right. They do. That’s what I exactly what I mean. They bounce off each other and, for me, it hasn’t slowed me down. There are hard days when you go home and you’re glad to be a Dad and then good days as a Dad where you are ready to get to work: that’s how it is. It’s a different outlook on life. I believe that you don’t have that true love for something until you have your own kids. You see things in different ways and it teaches patience in all aspects of life. It’s been great for us.

How does winning feel different now compared to when you were younger and when you were only worried about yourself? Is it still the be-all and end-all? To me wins are still wins. It’s what’s driving me. That has stayed the same. It’s my drive and motivation and the reason I’ve kept going. I enjoy that feeling and I enjoy the chase. It is the only thing I really know right now. I’m doing what I want to do on my motorcycle and I don’t have much distraction from home. I still love that feeling of chasing the win.

Are you tired yet of the tag that you might be the oldest champion in the history of the sport? It is wearing thin! I was told I was getting old two years ago! A lot of people were like “he’s 27-years-old, he’s the old guy in the class!” I am getting tired of it, and I heard on the telecast recently that I am 29 but then so is Jason [Anderson], Malcolm and I think Barcia. So, we’re all pretty close. It goes to show that if you still have motivation to do it then you can keep going. It doesn’t matter where the line or where the mark is. It felt like people used to draw it at 26-27 but now we getting more years out of the guys. I think it’s awesome.

Can you see yourself doing a ‘Tony Cairoli’ and going into your late 30s? And then I think of Tony! It’s totally out of the window compared to riders in the U.S. It is so impressive and so cool to be that competitive at the top for that long.

Was there a time a few years ago where you were ‘over it’? Around the time you were getting criticism for not doing things like that Nations…for not being as dominant as you should…I wouldn’t say I was ‘over it’ but what people did see was a lot of pressure. I still didn’t have the supercross championship and there was a lot of pressure to be in that position. In a way that was fine… but a lot of times as an athlete you can get overloaded with expectation. That’s what it was. There was also expectation of extra races. At the time you are younger and you see things a bit differently compared to when you are older and since then I’ve had the accomplishment of the supercross championship and that changed my mindset too. Expectation was putting that image on me [of a guy under stress] and now I have put a whole package together: I have my family, my kids, my team. Everything feels right and good.

 "Tomac’s blaze to seven wins and ten podium finishes from the thirteen rounds to-date puts him on the verge of delivering Yamaha’s first 450SX title since James Stewart banked the prize in 2009. He will be the eleventh multi-champ in the history of the sport and the sixth to take one championship or more since the turn of the century."

Turning blue. Obviously, things are going very well but was there ever a time when you were worried that you’d made a misstep by changing brands and teams? There was a lot of thought that went into the decision. I’m not the kind of guy just to ‘wing it’ that way. I knew there was a lot on the line, like my reputation. I didn’t want to come here unless I really knew that we could make it happen as a team and try to get even better results than what I had at Kawasaki. Yeah, from the outside looking-in it was a gamble but we tried to make sure that the tools were in place to get the job done.

You’ve only been with two brands in your career so was the change motivated by wanting to start a new chapter or purely to follow the best route to another championship? It was both. It was me thinking ‘I can get some more out of what this team has to offer’ and the other things just fall into place, right? That’s the way it has been here. You try to surround yourself with guys that you think will fit and suit you and that’s what I wanted at this point in my career: to be happy in all aspects.

Was it also to seek betterment and what you can do with the limits of your own performance? Yes, that’s what it came down to. I was plateaued with what I had, with my previous platform, my previous bike. I had great success and won a lot of things but I felt that there was still more on the table for me as a racer. I think that in the past two years I have changed mentally. I have been in more of a focused, calm state. I feel more solid, period. It’s where I needed to improve. If I look back to say 2017 and some of the mistakes I made in the series, if I had been the guy I am now some of those things wouldn’t have happened. But at the same time maybe they had to happen to get you to where you are at now.

Why were you making those mistakes? I just had a different mindset…about knowing when to ‘go’, when to perform and having patience at the right time. There were times when I was impatient as a racer. I look back at some of my crashes and I feel like I have changed.

It amazing that you are still able to implement that ‘Tomac rhythm’. It just wipes everybody and must be as satisfying as win…It is! It’s called getting-in-the-zone, when everything is working right. I hope I can find that again…even in motocross.

With the creation of the Supercross World Championship a chance exists to be a full-time supercrosser. How do you feel about that and the prospect of it enticing young racers coming up? It’s interesting. I’ve thought for a while that we should have a world championship in a stadium environment. It should be an option-

You’ve travelled for Bercy…That’s right, and I believe we can pull crowds around the world. It could happen. It will be a building process but I totally believe it’s possible. I’m for it. People probably don’t want to hear it over here… but it could have really cool growth potential for our sport and eyeballs on supercross. As a racer I’ve always thought it would be cool to travel the whole world to do it.

CZ World Championship Starts Today

 This weekend everything is CZ in Marysville, CA as the MMX track hosts the CZ World Championship. Keep your eyes peeled as you stroll the paddock, you might spot Bad Brad checking out the vintage CZ display.

Herlings Staying in Europe?

After a couple of weeks of hearing that World MXGP champion Jeffrey Herlings might be racing in the AMA nationals in 2022 and never a word from Herlings himself, I start to think that the chances of this now happening are getting smaller and smaller. Of which, as a selfish person, I am happy about, because I want to see the fastest man on the planet racing here in Europe or around the World, than just in USA. With the AMA Nationals starting on May 28, it seems like time is running out.

We contacted the Herlings team this week to ask if our postponed interview could be done in the coming days and the answer was no news now and no news in the foreseeable future. 

I always respect the riders and fortunately I haven’t had too much trouble with riders in the last 30 years, the odd disagreement, or some riders feeling I favour guys like Herlings or Gajser too much, but I try never to be disrespectful to the riders. 

The fact Herlings didn’t feel the need to do an interview, I am 100% okay with and hope him a quick recovery and I hope we see him racing soon. As a huge Herlings fan, I just want to see him racing as much as possible.

What I do know, if Herlings has something to tell, he will then give me 10 minutes to give his fans an inside look at the situation and I have always appreciated that, so the fact there is no news to me, means there won’t be a trip to USA in 2022, at least not until September when Herlings races for The Netherlands at the MXoN, which will all respect, they should win hands down.

“The Bullet” has been seen on television a lot lately in Holland, as he is a massive F1 and MotoGP fan and his opinion as a racer is always respected in his homeland. He has good insight and gives really good comments about his fellow motor-racers.

In one of the programs Herlings mentioned a soon to be trip to the doctor to check his injured foot, which was probably 10 days ago, and when I am told there is no news for the see able future, then I assume the doctor’s appointment didn’t go well.

We were also told that Herlings won’t line up at an MXGP round this month and also not at Maggiora in early May. So having not raced since the back end of 2021 (November 10) when he was crowned World MXGP champion, I find it really difficult to assume Herlings would go to America with just a week or two bike time and then race against the best AMA riders in the World, who have been racing since January. Even if it is a month’s bike time, which means he should be riding at a high level now, as the AMA Nationals begins in a little over a month.

So, in my humble opinion I get the feeling the whole AMA National thing won’t be happening and we won’t be seeing Herlings race until maybe June, hopefully in those Indonesian rounds of the championship.

News: Antonio Cairoli and USA

Pro Motocross

Antonio Cairoli to race 2022 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross, eager for good results.

Lewis Phillips April 21, 2022 0

Antonio Cairoli to race 2022 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross, eager for good results.

Nine times world champion and MXGP legend Tony Cairoli will line-up for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing in the 450 MX gate for the opening rounds of 2022 AMA Pro Motocross in California this May/June.

The Italian will fulfil a small ‘bucket list’ wish by turning his attention to the high-profile American national series and is initially set for appearances at the Fox Raceway National at Pala and the Hangtown Motocross Classic in Sacramento on May 28th and June 4th respectively. The 36-year-old stepped away from full time Grand Prix racing at the end of 2021 after a glittering career in which he became the second most successful athlete in the history of the sport.

Cairoli will feel the heat of competition again with his #222 KTM 450 SX-F; he used a previous edition of the motorcycle to claim the 2017 MXGP World Championship. He also accumulated six titles with the KTM 350 SX-F and earned the remarkable distinction of winning at least one Grand Prix every season during an era-defining 18 years at the highest level of MXGP and MX2.

Tony Cairoli: “It’s exciting to finally confirm that I will be racing in the U.S. To ride and race in America is something I always wanted to try. I like the look of the tracks. For me there is no pressure to perform and I’m not going there with the same preparation as I would have had for a world championship but I’m taking it seriously and would be looking for good results. I know this will generate some interest and it will be great to travel, see some friends and enjoy my time.”

Pit Beirer, KTM Motorsport Director: “It’s a big pleasure for us to finally reach the stage where Tony is able to race again and to attempt one of his ambitions. Our Red Bull KTM structure means we can be fully ready for him in the U.S. and can give him all our support. Tony is an icon and still an important part of our racing program and it feels like this is the least we can do to pay back all the wins, the titles and the stories he has made with us for over ten years. I think it will also be cool for the American motocross fans to see some of the special talent that made Tony one of the best riders in world championship history.”

Ian Harrison, North America Red Bull KTM Team Manager: “We couldn’t be prouder of having a rider and a person like Tony in our awning. He’s a true legend of the sport and one of the best riders of the modern era. His achievements are matched only by the impact he has had around the world. We know he’s been preparing to race out here, and we’ve also been readying everything to give him the best amount of support. As we saw right up until the end of 2021 MXGP he is still extremely competitive, so I think that will be exciting for the fans in the U.S. to watch him in action.”

Musquin Not Happy

Disappointment for Musquin following ‘weird’ Atlanta

Share

 Post: Troy Guenther

Opening lap mistake costly for the number 25.

Fresh off a first victory in the 2022 Monster Energy Supercross Championship at St. Louis, Marvin Musquin finished a disappointing P10 at Atlanta in what was a ‘weird day’ for the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing rider.

Musquin started round 14 strong by qualifying third fastest, however, a crash coming out of the tunnel during the opening lap of the main event left him to recover from the back of the field.

“It was just a weird day, I was a little off physically and unfortunately, it showed on the riding,” Musquin explained. “I was ready to go for the main – I didn’t get a good jump but my position off the start allowed me to push it wide and I had an okay start but going into the end of the tunnel I caught that bank/edge with my rear wheel and it kicked me and I did a 180.

“My right-hand glove came off in the crash and my bike was twisted a bit but it took me a couple turns to get used to it and I came back to 10th. I’m a little bit disappointed, obviously, but that’s all I could get today.”

The Frenchman still remains one of the few riders to have finished every main event this season, and currently sits fifth in the 450SX points standings with three rounds remaining.

Just 12 points separate Musquin from Justin Barcia who is third in the championship, with the battle to land on the rostrum come season end set to continue this Saturday at Foxborough.

Broad scope outlined for possible World SX teams

Further insight provided into the emerging new championship.

SX Global’s Adam Bailey has outlined the broad scope for potential team owners entering the new FIM World Supercross Championship, with possible options ranging across various types from the factory level to independently-owned franchise models.

The plan is to globalise the sport of supercross and make it more accessible for any incoming stakeholders to be involved at a competitive level. A lucrative team ownership structure was revealed earlier in the year to help encourage investors and provide specific financial incentives.

Only 10 team licenses are available to owners within the series to span two each across the premier WSX (450cc) category, as well as the SX2 (250cc) class. With applications now closed and major decisions to be made as soon as within next month, Bailey outlined possibilities in our recent On-Record podcast.

Whether those owners would potentially be in-house factory organizations, existing privately-operated teams with factory support such as a Star Racing structure, or identities not already involved in the sport, the options are broad. And it’s understood that interest has met – and even exceeded – expectations since opening.

“It’s a combination of all three – it could be either of [those options],” Bailey explained. “I see someone like [Star Racing owner] Bobby Regan being the perfect beneficiary of this, because he is a successful businessman who is injecting a lot of his own money into racing currently and his team gets supported directly out of Japan.

“As for the factory teams, the factory-backed teams out of the US may not be as interested because they are funded purely out of the US, whereas if that funding comes from Japan, or head office in Europe then they will be really suited to them.

“So it’s varied, but in saying that, it doesn’t have to be a current team owner, we see a license holder as someone that could be a celebrity team owner. A great example is Michael Jordan purchasing a NASCAR team for 13 million dollars or something like that…

“Michael Jordan Motorsport does have a history in motorcycle racing, but that’s something we want to attract too – entrepreneurs and business people that see the value in this, ex-champion racers that want to be involved, combined with existing team owners that have been slogging it out for many years to see the potential in this to earn factory support.”

The initial 2022 ‘pilot’ FIM Supercross World Championship will be contested over five rounds, none of which will clash with Monster Energy Supercross or Lucas Oil Pro Motocross in the US. An actual schedule is yet to be formalised – at least in public – by SX Global.

However, when the series is due to expand in 2023, it’s certain that it will clash with American motocross and the MXGP World Championship, indicating that the WSX championship is aiming to attract teams and riders with the sole focus of competing in supercross year-round without the addition of outdoors.

“What we are wanting to do is create a World Supercross Championship and supercross becomes the main focus for riders and teams that want to do that,” Bailey confirmed. “It won’t be for everyone, there will be ones that want to focus on motocross and, in that case, MXGP could be better suited to them [as a world championship].”

Viewpoint: Jason Anderson

Lewis Phillips April 18, 20220

Jason Anderson wins Atlanta Supercross, discusses breakthrough ride after a difficult run.

Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Jason Anderson has been one of the standout stars throughout the 2022 Monster Energy Supercross series. Few expected him to secure a single victory, let alone stand atop the box consistently and be the closest to Eli Tomac. Even a rough run of events, where he made it onto the podium once in a five-week span, has not taken the shine off of his campaign, as he still runs in second in the championship standings and quite comfortably too.

The fourteenth round of the current term, held within the confines of Atlanta Motor Speedway, was yet another chapter in Anderson’s successful ‘green’ tenure. ’21’ raced to his fourth win of the season and in an impressive fashion too, as all of the main contenders started towards the front. Discussing the triumph in the post-race press conference, it was clearly a weight lifted from his shoulders and something that has helped erase doubt that had crept into his mind over the last month.

Press Conference: You had some wins earlier in the season – you got one almost every other weekend! You have had a rough patch lately though. What was that time like for you and how did you process the last month and a half, when the speed was there but there were mistakes along the way? How did you regroup and get the big one here today?

Jason Anderson: Yeah, you know, it was like I had everything going for me there for a little bit. It kind of fell apart once we got to Daytona. It was frustrating though because they were situations that should not have been happening. It was just reading the race and managing it a little bit better. It is tough to keep pushing and trying whenever it seems like nothing is going right, but to get this win and stuff like that is good. I was kind of bummed last weekend, because I felt like I made some good progress on the off weekend. I had a little bit of a cold last weekend and then felt better this weekend – you still kind of doubt yourself a little bit though. To get that win felt really good.

How was that track today? In the middle of the main event there, when it was the most important, what was it like for you?

It was not too terrible. It was really slick in practice, you know, and the whoops were kind of cupped but they were not actually too terrible or sketchy. It kept you on your toes. The high speed of the track is intimidating, especially yesterday with all of the huge jumps. Thankfully, they tamed it down a bit. It is kind of an intimidating track. Daytona is not as big and a little sandier, so it keeps the pace down a bit. This Georgia clay is a little higher speed. It is a good track.

From your Twitter comments yesterday, it seemed like you did not like the track. It seemed like it came around quite a bit today and made for some good racing. Did you change your opinion from yesterday?

I believe that eighty percent of the 450SX class is out with injury right now. I think like a one-hundred-and-twenty-foot triple… I understand that they want shock value for the fans with the longest start straight and longest triple. We are four rounds away from the end, at the end of the day, so let us get through the season and have good racing. We are all going to have to hit the triple. It is going to rain too and we are still going to try to hit the triple. The track ended up good, luckily, but I just think that the shock value that they are trying to get out of some of the obstacles is too much for us racers and our safety. I understand where their heads are at, but we are humans and want to stay safe. We want to limit the risk. We know the risk that we take, so when they make it a little bit bigger and we do not have control over that… It is a little bit frustrating for me, personally. I hate to be the ‘Karen’ but at the same time I feel like someone needs to speak or I need to speak. If something happened to me on one of those jumps then I would be frustrated that I did not say something.

Align Media

I want to go back to the heat race battle that you had with Eli [Tomac]. It looked like a lot of fun, with you two going back and forth a bit. Take us through that.

It was a good battle. For me, I kept feeling him… I am telling you that Yamaha is so loud where the air intake is. You could hear it from so far behind, but I felt it getting louder after that sand section every time. It was tough to pass and especially in those heat races. It was a good battle.

Historically, Atlanta has some of the biggest crowds in a stadium. Would you rather have been in a stadium, like in years past, or are you happy with this?

I actually ride good here, but I do not know if I like it as much as racing in the Georgia Dome or places like that. I feel like that stadium in Atlanta is so nostalgic with all of the battling and stuff that has gone on inside there. I like this one, but I really liked racing in the stadium too. All in all, if you keep the track normal then I think that the racing is good here. The fans were here – it was pretty cool.

You seem like you have got the Kawasaki figured out, but is there still stuff that you feel like you are learning this late in the season? Can you also talk about Broc Tickle’s influence on the bike and coaching?

I rode a steel frame for eight years, so there are still times where it catches me off guard. I think that has been the reason for a lot of my mistakes this year. Even though I have been having success, I still feel that there are times where I do not read the way that it works. We have Broc and I think that the team has been working really well with being a little more open minded. I think Broc is a good influence too, because he is very smart and awesome. The cool thing about training with him is that he is one of my friends – we trained together with Aldon [Baker] back in the day. We bounce ideas off of each other. It’s not like we are doing anything crazy, as everyone basically does the same thing to get ready, but Broc understands it a little more, just from being in it. It is cool having him on my side.

A rough couple of weeks there and you had not won in a while. How satisfactory was it to keep on digging and get this? It seemed like you were extra excited, with the crowd right there as you crossed the finish?

Like I said, I am damn excited about any win right now. It feels good, especially after having a little bit of chaos go on. It seems like you cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel sometimes. To breakthrough, get a win and ride well gives you that motivation to keep going. It is tough whenever you keep getting beat down a little bit – everyone in our sport understands that. It is just a part of it and the nature of the beast. For some reason, as stressful as it is, we keep coming back for more. It is pretty awesome.

Coming To America?

Herlings and USA

There is no doubt about it, the most acclaimed rider in our sport is number 84, Jeffrey Herlings. He might not be the greatest of all time, but he is without question the fastest rider I have ever seen and his credential compared to anyone else in the sport at the moment stands out as the best of the best. 

With the rumours of Herlings heading to America to race the AMA Nationals in a months’ time, and also the talk that Antonio Cairoli will do the first two rounds of the AMA Nationals, the World will once again go crazy, just like we did when AMA legend Ryan Villopoto came to Europe to race in 2015. 

I even think the whole Herlings, and America thing is way bigger than ever RV’s euro adventure, because if Herlings does, he will be 100% in, while many felt Villopoto only came to Europe to get the final part of his Monster Energy contract money.

Having spoken to Herlings team recently, he won't be racing in Latvia next weekend, or in Maggiora in two weeks time, so he won't have much race time (if any) under his belt before the opening AMA Nationals round at the end of May and that might put some question into his decision, as the AMA boys have been racing since January.

While we in Europe want to see the best in the World right here in Europe and see Herlings break Stefan Everts 101 GP wins record, we also wouldn’t mind seeing how he does in USA. Below the American public and three AMA legends are pretty excited if it does happen. See below.

Eli Tomac: Of course I am focused on supercross and want to keep plugging along with what we have going on there and then focus for those two guys. If they came over, it’s going to be awesome competition. All I can say it will be a lot of competition, new tracks for them, they are obviously really fast, and I am sure we will have a lot of great battles if they do come over.

Davey Coombs: Last September Antonio Cairoli announced his retirement in Italy, and he mentioned that he wanted to come and do some Nationals. So, we reserved number 222, just in case he does decide. We are hearing he might do the first two rounds. Then there is the 84 and there is a lot of smoke around that fire, and I hope it is true. Jeffrey Herlings is in a situation he can’t win the 2022 World championship and he will for sure beat Stefan Everts record for GP wins, but the deck is set nicely for him to do something with a wild-card and come race the summer here, without having to do supercross and it would be fantastic to have him. With Plessinger being hurt and Marvin only supercross, I think the fire might heat up soon.

James Stewart: Jeffrey, come on babe, we have a compound out here (inviting Herlings to use his compound). It is funny, but Cairoli hit me up and he said he wanted to come out here and I thought it was strange. He said he will be at Aldons, or that area, so you too Cairoli (are welcome).

Tomac on Herlings and Cairoli maybe riding the US Motocross series

After his second place in Atlanta and the chance to wrap the 2022 supercross title up next weekend in Foxborough, we asked Eli Tomac in the press conference if his thoughts are turning towards outdoors and full field of fit-again factory riders, plus the prospect of Jeffrey Herlings and Antonio Carioli maybe coming over.

“Of course I’m focused on supercross and want to keep plugging along with what we have going on,” said Eli. “And then for those two guys, if they came over, it’s going to be awesome competition you know? All I can say it will be a lot of competition, a lot of new tracks for them, but they are obviosuly really fast – I am sure we will have a lot of great battles if they do come over.”

And on getting to ride the Star Yamaha outdoors after looking so good on it indoors? “I am really excited to give her the test in the outdoors, I really think it will shine in motocross, I’m excited,” acknowledged Tomac.

An Eli Tomac this confident might just be the early favourite for the 2022 AMA 450 motocross title even if he doesn’t have the number one plate…
