MONSTER ENERGY AMA SUPERCROSS
NO REST FOR
THE WICKED
The 2019 Monster Energy AMA Su-
percross Series sees its first week-
end off of the year this coming Easter
weekend. Denver represented the
15th consecutive Saturday night of
racing for the 450SX field, although
only a handful have been able to
make every round. For some, the
weekend off will be an opportunity to
let some nagging injuries heal a little
bit. For others, it will be an oppor-
tunity to get in some testing for the
upcoming MX Nationals that start in
May. For points leader Cooper Webb,
his closest challenger Eli Tomac,
and probably even Marvin Musquin
(who is still mathematically in the title
chase), they will likely stick to what
they've been doing until the SX title is
done and dusted for one of them.
TOMAC STAYS
Eli Tomac's three-year contract with
Monster Energy Kawasaki began in
late 2016 and carries through late
2019. He recently re-signed with
Kawasaki on another multi-year deal,
but this time, sources privy to the situ-
ation have said he gave his race team
an ultimatum: Either crew chief Mike
Williamson goes, or he does. From
what we've been told, Williamson had
the ear of team management and was
a consistent roadblock for Tomac
when it came to testing over the
years, and he left the team officially
a few weeks ago. Immediately after
that, Tomac's current winning streak
began.
