One of the greatest is going away. Eli Tomac has announced he will retire from professional racing after the three SMX playoff rounds in September. In his own Instagram post that we reposted earlier, he explained that he did plan on racing again next year with Red Bull KTM, but has decided that the time is now.

Tomac will retire after one of the most dedicated careers in the history of the sport, sitting second all-time in premier-class AMA Supercross victories, with two AMA 450 Supercross Championships, four AMA 450 Pro Motocross Championships, an AMA 250 Pro Motocross Championship and an AMA 250 Divisional Supercross Championship, as a victory with Team USA at the 2022 FIM Motocross of Nations. He won the very first pro race he ever entered, at Hangtown in 2010, and won races at the highest level as recently as this year.

This is about more than numbers, though. This is about Beast Mode, and the image and legacy Eli Tomac built as one of the fastest, fiercest and toughest to ever swing a leg over a motorcycle. He will be missed for certain, but the fans will get three more races to see him in action. 

Eli Tomac: ”I will be stepping away from Supercross and motocross racing at the end of September, following the final three SMX rounds. This has been the hardest decision I’ve ever made in my professional career, but I know in my heart that the time is now and that the time is right. I’ve won races and championships beyond my imagination. Racing has been the only thing I’ve woken up to and known the last 25 years, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.” 

Thank you Eli 💪
