This really sucks… I was very excited to see that Eli was racing outdoors this year.  I really, really hope he returns next year for a full year of SX/MX/SMX!!

After a crash at the Denver round of the 2024 Monster Energy Supercross derailed Eli Tomac’s performance come race time, there have been question marks on whether the issue was just a minor setback for the evening…or something that could potentially effect the #3’s season going forward.
