450MX AMA PRO MOTOCROSS CHAMPION ELI TOMAC P160 Interview ROUND 8 2019 Monster Energy Supercross Series Champion Cooper Webb seemingly came out of nowhere to sweep both motos in Min- nesota. Meanwhile, even though he struggled a bit to slot in at third overall, Tomac kept at it with his remarkable consistency. "I would say Cooper Webb was kind of an underdog in super- cross, and he was maybe underestimated, and he went out there and won the whole deal. All that considered, I think no one really knew what to expect of Cooper in the out- doors. It was probably surprising to some people that it took him to round eight to get the overall, but at the same time, you don't know. However, you knew it SPRING CREEK RACEWAY MILLVILLE, MINNESOTA JULY 20, 2019 3rd PLACE (2-5) Again, Tomac didn't perform well (for him) at one of his favorite tracks on the circuit. "I couldn't find the flow at Millville." was coming at some point. That track that day was a little off for me. I placed second in the opening moto, but in moto two, I just wasn't out there. No one to blame it on, I just wasn't riding that good. I was just a lit- tle bit off. I must say, though, it was weird that I did not ride as well on my favorite tracks this season. Southwick and Millville, those are the tracks I'm always amped-up on to go racing, but for some reason, I didn't have my best results there. It was like that at Mill- ville, too. I was wishy-washy. I mean, I went 2-5. I struggled with flow and getting going. It was a day of minimizing damage, you know?"
