Eli Tomac has had a rollercoaster 2026 season, marked by a dominant start with a new team followed by mid-season injury struggles. After making a high-profile move to the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing team, Tomac currently sits fourth in the 450SX standings with 275 points. 2026 Season Performance SummaryTomac's year began with what was statistically his "best start ever" in Supercross.

• Victories: He has secured 4 wins so far this season:
  • Anaheim 1: A clinical season-opening win that silenced questions about his age and team switch.
  • San Diego: Followed up his opener with a second consecutive win.
  • Seattle: A "clinical performance" where he bounced back from a rough patch to take the top step.
  • Daytona: His record-extending eighth victory at Daytona International Speedway.
• Podiums: Tomac has reached the podium 9 times in 2026. Notable results include a P2 finish at the Indianapolis Triple Crown.

Recent Injury and ReturnIn April, Tomac's title hopes were derailed by a crash during practice in Cleveland.

• Missed Rounds: The resulting hip injury forced him to miss the Cleveland evening program and the entire Philadelphia round.
• Denver Comeback: He made a "timely return" for his home race in Denver on May 2, 2026. Despite a brief stall in the sand section, he fought back from 7th to secure a 3rd place finish.

As the season heads into the final round in Salt Lake City, Tomac is mathematically eliminated from the championship but remains a threat for individual race wins.
