During the past decade, Eli Tomac has never finished worse than second at the Daytona Supercross. Jett Lawrence became the first rider to beat Eli at Daytona. Eli Tomac’s bike was smoking for most of the main event. Tomac said on the podium that he didn’t notice it, and in the press conference, he addressed that he couldn’t feel any difference in his bike despite how badly it was smoking.
Eli said – “Thinking back to the race, [I’m] frustrated I didn’t do the quad; [that] cost me,” Tomac said after the race. “So got to take more risks next time. That’s that. So, yeah, second place. … “That’s all what it came down to. And then I moved over to the right side and … the depth of the rut was a lot smaller, and [I’m] just bummed that I didn’t take that [line] earlier.”
