Tomac in For AMA Nationals 2024

Apr 30

While there were rumours swirling around about Eli Tomac racing some GPs in 2024, it has now been made official that Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing is pleased to announce that Tomac will line up for the upcoming Pro Motocross season and race the entire 2024 SuperMotocross World Series.

The two-time Monster Energy AMA Supercross 450SX and four-time Pro Motocross 450MX Champion is excited to build off of a strong supercross season to make a run at his fifth premier class title outdoors.

“We can officially announce that we are in for the full SMX season," Tomac said. "It really came down to wanting to continue what we have going on. I’ve been feeling great on the motorcycle. We’re getting into our groove, and I feel like we’re going to be really strong in Pro Motocross and for the SMX series. I’m excited to keep racing!”

This year marks Tomac’s third year with Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing, where he has been enjoying a successful tenure. In addition to securing the 2022 450SX and 450MX Championships, he was Captain of the victorious Team USA at the Motocross of Nations that year.

Although he was sidelined last year for the Pro Motocross Championship with an Achilles injury sustained at the penultimate round of Monster Energy AMA Supercross, he has amassed an impressive tally of wins in both series with the team – 15 in supercross and 14 in motocross.

The victories have not only bolstered his position as the winningest rider currently racing, but also his legacy in the sport. Tomac holds the runner-up spot on the all-time premier-class win list in supercross with 52 wins, as well as the title of winningest rider at Daytona Supercross with seven victories at the iconic venue.

Tomac has enjoyed his return to racing in 2024. He currently sits third in the 450SX point standings with a win and five runner-up finishes thus far with two rounds remaining in Monster Energy AMA Supercross.

The Colorado rider will then switch gears to Pro Motocross, where he will launch his 450MX title campaign at the season opener at Fox Raceway in Pala, California, on May 25, also Round 18 of the SuperMotocross World Series.

It would seem the rumors of him racing Lommel (which is a week after Washougal), or any other Grand Prix, where just that, rumors and unlikely to happen now. Lets hope he does however race the Monster Energy Motocross of Nations in England in October for Team USA.
