In the past two weeks, Eli Tomac lost his momentum and with it the Monster Energy Supercross red plate to Cooper Webb, but a gutsy performance in Seattle gave him a sixth win of the season as he and the series heads into an off week tied.
Tomac is currently tied in the points with Webb. With this win, Tomac also ties James Stewart for second on the all-time wins list at 50 with six rounds remaining in 2023. “I needed that bounce back,” Tomac told NBC Sports’ Will Christien. “It was almost like I was in a little bit of a slump in the past couple of weeks; just a little bit off.
I’m feeling much better now. That track raced really cool. There were a lot of different lines out there. “It was obviously very dicey early on.
I got passed and then had to make those passes back.” Tomac suffered with a stiff neck in Indianapolis two weeks ago when he lost the red plate to Webb for the first time in 2023.
