L
ast week it was Eli Tomac. This
week it's Marvin Musquin. Two of
the top riders of the Monster Ener-
gy AMA Supercross Series already taking
big hits when it comes to their chances of
winning the 2018 Championship.
At the series opener at Anaheim,
Tomac suffered a shoulder injury in
a crash while leading that sent him
back to the pits early. He tried coming
back a week later at Houston's NGR
Stadium, but withdrew after practice,
his body not yet healed up from his A1
crash. Starting the season with two big
DNFs is not what Tomac had in mind.
