WSX conducted an interesting interview with Eli Tomac as he gets ready to battle Ken Roczen for the WSX title at round one in Vancouver this weekend.
Eli said: “My only expectation when I go race is to win. That’s my goal.”
And Eli feels his achilles injury has actually kept him in the sport longer. “With my achilles there was a lot of things that went through my mind. That was a very serous injury in 2023. It was a long recovery and a horrible ending to that supercross series. To be in the lead like that and have it end like that, a lot of people think that 30 year old range is getting pretty old, I’m trying to prove that wrong and stay battling for race wins and championships as long as I can. Now, I think it may have extended my career, because when you get injured like that and off the bike for six months, you realise how much you love what you do.”
Get the full interview below as Tomac admits he is trying to fend off the new generation for as long as he can:
