Tomac: I’m absolutely gutted!

Eli Tomac says he is “absolutely gutted,” to miss the nightshow at Houston that made his chances of winning the supercross title extremely low.

Tomac said he did everything to be fit but was unable to confirm when he would return except to say it would be a “day by day” and he hopes to return, “soon.”

Absolutely gutted we can’t line up for tonight’s race. We’ve done everything possible to be healthy and healed for the weekend. We gave it a go in all three practice sessions, but still not able to ride at race speed. At this point we’re taking the process day by day and we’ll hopefully see everyone back at the races soon. @racekawasaki @monsterenergy @alpinestars @oakleymotorsports @bell_powersports @ppgindustries
