Eli Tomac, the man, the myth, the mullet. One week he's dominating the track, the next week...well, let's just say the internet conspiracy theorists had a field day with the Detroit Supercross.

So, what went down in Motown, Eli?
Here's the thing, even Eli himself seemed a little confused. We all saw him grab a strong start in Detroit, looking primed to repeat his A2 win from the week before. Then, poof, just like a magician's disappearing act, Eli started slipping down the ranks faster than a greased watermelon at a picnic.
Tip: Read the whole thing before forming an opinion.
There were whispers of a flat tire, whispers of arm pump so bad he was yodeling in his helmet (unfounded, but hey, we can dream of Eli's hidden talents). Eli pointed the finger at arm pump and a bike setup that just wasn't feeling quite right all day. His team manager even chimed in, hinting at a possible issue, but without spilling the beans.
Tip: Highlight sentences that answer your questions.
The Plot Thickens (or Maybe Deflates?)
The internet, as it tends to do, went full CSI: Motocross. Some armchair mechanics were convinced it was a shock malfunction, while others swore they saw Eli glancing longingly at his pit crew, possibly hinting at a flat tire.

In the end, the official story remains a bit of a mystery. Did a sneaky gremlin mess with Eli's bike? Did arm pump turn his arms to lead? The world may never know.
QuickTip: Don’t just consume — reflect.
