Eli Tomac had a lucky escape after he crashed out of the lead on lap one at A1 after Chase Sexton accidently ran over his title rival! Tomac thankfully got back up uninjured and rode his way impressively through the field to fifth and some great damage limitation in the title chase.
A frustrated and almost disbelieving Tomac said:
“Just tucked my front end good old Anaheim, get’s slick in the evening and just didn’t respect it. had a good comeback getting that, fifth excited the way I rode the rest of the main. I was feeling just like I should and what I know I can do the whole day there, great qualifying and a good quarter lap – we are going to come back!“
Chase Sexton, meanwhile, showed his class in the press conference and admitted that he felt bad running over Eli:
“I felt bad, I ran over Eli the first lap, I had nowhere to go… I felt bad”.
