A very honest Eli Tomac admitted to Jason Weigandt that he came back to racing too early but, after two weeks break, he is now hoping to see a more competitive Tomac towards the front of the field.
Eli said: “A little bit of time off after Washougal and then really just trying to get back to myself once I started riding again. So just trying to get physically stronger, healthier and mentally. I was optimistic to come back but I should have been realistic. Like it was too early, too early of a comeback from the injury I had at Pala.
Tomac added on how he was riding before the break on the race track and wasn’t prepared to blame the bike: “It was 99% Eli. Like it’s I mean, I was watching myself going to the first turns just very timid, very off. was basically riding around, not with much confidence. So and now that I’ve had these three weeks off, I should be a different guy.”
With team USA becoming an increasingly important topic all of America will be hoping Eli can find his olf form over the next thre weekends to put him back in the frame for Ernee MXoN.
