After months of recovery and speculation, Eli Tomac is back on his bike and eyeing a return to racing in the SuperMotocross League. In a recent update shared with fans on social media, the Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing rider revealed his primary goal: to be ready for the opening round of the 2025 Pro Motocross Championship. There’s also a slim but exciting chance he could line up for the final round of the 2025 Monster Energy Supercross season.
“Back at it,” Tomac posted. “Goal as of now is [Pro Motocross] Round 1, would love to sneak in the last round of SX, but we’ll see where the next couple of weeks take us.”
The announcement brings a fresh wave of anticipation for fans and the racing community. Tomac’s return is one of the most eagerly awaited storylines of the 2025 season. Known for his grit and relentless pace, the 31-year-old rider’s presence on the track is always a game-changer, and his potential comeback could add even more excitement to an already competitive season.
This update marks only a slight shift from what Tomac hinted at earlier in the year. In February, he told Swap Moto Live’s Donn Maeda that there was “a realistic chance to come back for the last few Supercross (races).” While the timeline has been fine-tuned, the desire to return before the Supercross season concludes is clearly still in play.
Tomac had a strong start to the 2025 Supercross season before stepping away due to injury. He claimed victory in Round 2 at San Diego, which extended his winning streak to an impressive 11 consecutive Supercross seasons with at least one main event win. His performance over the first four rounds of the season showcased his enduring speed and consistency, logging three top-five finishes and a seventh-place effort. Those results left many wondering what the rest of the season might have looked like had he remained healthy.
Despite the setback, Tomac’s focus and motivation remain sharp. The five-time AMA Pro Motocross Champion has repeatedly shown resilience throughout his career, bouncing back from injuries and setbacks with dominant rides and championship-caliber performances. His fans know better than to count him out.
The potential of Tomac returning for the last round of Supercross—likely the Las Vegas finale—would not only electrify the crowd but also offer a valuable shakedown before launching into the outdoor nationals. Whether or not that final Supercross gate drop happens, his eyes are clearly on the bigger prize: a strong start to the Pro Motocross series, where he’s historically thrived.
With Tomac back training and steadily building toward full fitness, the countdown to Round 1 of Pro Motocross just got even more interesting. As always with Eli Tomac, expect the unexpected—and be ready for fireworks when the gate finally drops.
