O
f the first six rounds of the 2019
Monster Energy AMA Supercross
Championship, Eli Tomac is now
the fifth different rider to win, making it
one of the must unpredictable starts to a
Supercross season in a long, long time.
And Tomac got his first win of 2019 in less
than ideal conditions. Heavy rain leading
up to the San Diego Supercross at the
roof-less Petco Park made for what was a
true "mudder." But Tomac is proving to be
a well-rounded rider who can successfully
deal with any conditions and dominated
in the ugly conditions, leading from just
after the start all the way to the finish.

MUD, WATER,
RUTS AND
RAIN, ELI
