Third Straight Podium for Eli Tomac

Team AMSOIL rookie Eli Tomac is hitting his stride thanks to a fast bike and good starts, but it might be his early season patience that his helping him the most in his inaugural Monster Energy Supercross.

Tomac got another great start in Anaheim on Saturday night, putting the young Colorado-native in contention for his first career supercross win. It was an impressive battle between Josh Hansen and Tomac, as both riders took their turns out front. Tomac took the lead from Hansen, only for Hansen to nose his way back into the lead. A regrouped Tomac then delt with rookie Ken Roczen and Brock Tickle for the remainder of the Supercross Lites final. Tomac narrowly beat out Roczen for second, with Tickle just inches behind in fourth.



The West Coast Lites riders get a break this weekend as the Houston round kicks off the East Region Lites campaign this Saturday.

Until then, we'll see you at the races,
