The AMSOIL sponsored motocross team (GEICO Powersports/Honda) is one of the top teams in all of dirt bike racing. Its young, revolutionary Lites program has put talented riders onto some very fast bikes over the past few years, including Trey Canard, Blake Wharton and Justin Barcia. All three riders have won on the professional level.
With Brett Metcalfe moving up to the 450 class this summer, that left a spot open in the Lites trailer. As in the past, the team had been cultivating the next young star on the amateur level over the past few years. Now, Eli Tomac will make his professional debut at the Hangtown National as the AMA Motocross Championship begins on Saturday. Moto Magazine caught up with Tomac to talk about his upcoming debut.
Will Tomac live up to the hype? Many people believe he is the real deal and this team has proven it has championship caliber riders. This weekend he gets to prove it.
Until then, we'll see you at the races.
