Veteran motocross icon Eli Tomac is not going quietly into the shadows—not with rising star Jett Lawrence turning heads and dominating headlines. In fact, Tomac is doing the opposite: pushing himself harder than ever to stay in the fight, proving that age is just a number when matched with determination, grit, and unrelenting passion.
At 32, Tomac continues to defy expectations. After a major Achilles injury that forced him to sit out much of the 2023 season, many speculated that his best days were behind him. But the multi-time champion has returned with fire in his eyes and a renewed sense of purpose. His performances in the 2025 season so far reflect a rider who is not content with past glories but is intent on reminding the motocross world exactly who he is.
Chasing Jett Lawrence, the 20-year-old Australian phenom who has taken the sport by storm, is no small feat. Lawrence has been dazzling fans with his composure, technical precision, and near-flawless execution on the track. But Tomac isn’t backing down. Instead, he’s pushing the boundaries of his physical and mental limits to keep up—and at times, surpass—his younger rival.
“Jett’s pace is incredible,” Tomac admitted in a recent interview. “He’s smooth, calculated, and fast. To compete with that, I’ve had to elevate every aspect of my riding—fitness, technique, starts, everything.”
Tomac’s intense preparation and experience are beginning to show. At recent rounds, he’s been closing the gap and even trading moto wins with Lawrence. While Lawrence may have the momentum of youth on his side, Tomac brings an unmatched level of racecraft and tactical savvy. His ability to read the track and adapt in real-time gives him an edge that no statistics can fully capture.
Behind the scenes, Tomac’s training has reportedly become even more rigorous. From longer days on the bike to smarter recovery strategies, he’s focused on optimizing every detail. Nutrition, physical therapy, and advanced technology are all part of his arsenal in this relentless pursuit of excellence.
Fans have taken notice. Whether cheering for the emerging dynasty of Lawrence or the unwavering heart of Tomac, the competition has injected fresh excitement into the Pro Motocross Championship. Every race feels like a heavyweight clash of generations, where experience meets rising talent.
“Pushing the limit” isn’t just a phrase for Eli Tomac—it’s a mindset. It’s what keeps him motivated, focused, and in the hunt for another championship. And as long as the gates keep dropping, Tomac is proving he’s still one of the fiercest competitors in the sport.
As the season continues, all eyes remain on the duel between Tomac and Lawrence. Will youth continue to dominate, or will the veteran rise once more to the top? One thing is certain: Eli Tomac is not just riding—he’s fighting, pushing, and proving he still belongs among the best.
