Eli Tomac, once the most dominant force in Supercross and Motocross, is heading into the 2025 season with a burning question hanging over his career—can he reclaim his former glory, or is this the final chapter of his reign?
After suffering a devastating Achilles injury in 2023 and struggling with inconsistent results in 2024, Tomac’s future in the sport has been under scrutiny. While he remains one of the sport’s most decorated riders, the emergence of younger talent, including Jett Lawrence and Chase Sexton, has made his path to redemption more difficult than ever.
At 32 years old, Tomac is no longer the young rider he once was. Though experience is on his side, the physical demands of Supercross and Motocross have taken their toll. His recent performances have shown flashes of brilliance, but his consistency has been questioned.
“I still believe I can win,” Tomac said in a recent interview. “I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t.”
However, his results tell a different story. While he has been competitive, podium finishes have been harder to come by, and younger riders have been setting the pace.
The 2025 Season – One Last Shot?
With the new Supercross season approaching, Tomac is determined to prove he’s still a title contender. Reports suggest he has been training harder than ever, focusing on his speed and endurance to match the intensity of the next generation.
But is it enough? Many believe that 2025 could be his last season, whether he wants it to be or not. If he fails to regain his dominant form, retirement may be inevitable. However, if he manages to put together a title-winning campaign, it would be one of the greatest comebacks in motocross history.
Regardless of how 2025 unfolds, Tomac’s place in history is secure. A multi-time Supercross and Motocross champion, he has already cemented himself as one of the sport’s greatest. But like all champions, he doesn’t want to go out quietly.
Is 2025 the year of his redemption, or will it be the season that marks his resignation from the sport? One thing is certain—Eli Tomac won’t go down without a fight.
