Big news today as Eli Tomac, the 4x 450MX Pro Motocross Champion and 2x 450SX Monster Energy AMA Supercross Champion, will return to the Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing team for the entire 2025 SuperMotocross World Championship campaign.
The Colorado native has had a tough go during the past two seasons, missing the summer’s Pro Motocross Championship from AMA Supercross injuries. Those injuries (2023 Achilles and 2024 thumb injury) have kept the multi-champion from competition for the summer. His deals from previous years have been with Supercross-only contracts with Pro Motocross options
In 2025, Tomac signed for the entire SMX series (AMA Supercross, Pro Motocross, and SMX Finals). In the press release, Tomac mentioned that this would be his final run in the full SMX series
MARIETTA, Ga. – Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing is excited to announce that Eli Tomac will return with the team for a final year of racing in the 2025 SuperMotocross World Championship. One of the legends of the sport with a combined total of eight titles in Monster Energy AMA Supercross and Pro Motocross, the Colorado rider looks to make another title run and add more wins to his already impressive resume in both series, as well as the three-round post-season SuperMotocross World Championship Finals.
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. Those victories have not only bolstered his position as the winningest rider currently racing but also his legacy in the sport, as he continues to add his name to the record books. In addition to holding the runner-up spot on the all-time premier-class win list in Supercross with 52 victories, Tomac is also the winningest rider at Daytona Supercross with seven victories at the iconic venue and is tied with Richard Petty for the most wins at Daytona International Speedway.
