Tomac To Race Full 2024 WSX Championship E li Tomac says he is go- ing to compete in all four rounds of the 2024 FIM World Supercross Cham - pionship (WSX). Tomac won the inaugural round of WSX in 2022 in England as a wild card entry and will rejoin the series with the CDR Yamaha Team. The number-three raced to a seventh overall in his return to Pro Motocross. "I'm excited to be rejoin - ing the WSX grid this year and I'm hoping I can relive some of the success I had in Cardiff in 2022," Tomac said. "I've not raced at any of the venues on the calen - dar, or even raced in Aus- tralia or Abu Dhabi before, so it's going to be a new experience. I've had some pace in my riding this year and I'm looking forward to the season starting to see what we can achieve, hopefully picking up some podium finishes, and to also put on some amazing races for the fans." WSX's 2024 season gets underway on October 26 at BC Place in Vancouver, Canada, before a double - header at HBF Park in Perth, Australia, on Novem- ber 23-24, concluding at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, on December 4. CN WIND IN THE P50 Eli Tomac will race all four rounds of the World Supercross Championship. Webb Out For Pro Motocross C ooper Webb will forgo the rest of the AMA Pro Mo- tocross Championship due to injury. The Monster Energy Star Rac- ing Yamaha Team rider re-aggra- vated his thumb at the Unadilla National, his first outdoor of the season. Webb plans to return for the SuperMotocross playoffs. "Sitting out this weekend is not the news I wanted to share, but I am very thankful that the scans all came back good and just show a sprain of my thumb," Webb said before the Budds Creek National. "I'm going to play it smart, rest it a few days, and focus on SMX and beyond." CN Cooper Webb re- aggravated an injury to his thumb at Unadilla and will sit out the rest of the AMA Pro Motocross Championship and instead prepare for the SMX playoffs.
