Despite the doubts about his move to CDR Yamaha to contest the World Supercross Championship this year, Eli Tomac will return with the team for a final year of racing in the 2025 SuperMotocross World Championship.
“I’m very pleased to announce I’ve signed with Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing for the entire 2025 SuperMotocross season. I anticipate 2025 being my final full season of professional SMX racing. While the last two Supercross seasons have had unfortunate endings with injury, we’ve had many more great race wins, and championships along the way. So now is the time to enjoy the ride, get back to winning races and competing for the SuperMotocross title.”
Entering his fourth year with the team, Tomac has enjoyed a lot of success aboard the YZ450F and looks to build on it next season. His debut with Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing in 2022 was one for the ages, securing both 450SX and 450MX Championships, as well as being the Captain of the victorious Team USA at the Motocross of Nations. Although he has been sidelined with injuries following the penultimate round of the last two seasons of Monster Energy AMA Supercross, he has amassed an impressive tally of wins during his tenure with the team – 15 in 450SX and 14 moto wins in 450MX.
