Eli Tomac has always been known for his grit, speed, and fierce competitive edge—but now, it’s his words that have fans buzzing. In a recent update, the multi-time Supercross and Motocross champion hinted at something big on the horizon: a potential return to racing. While still on the road to full recovery, Tomac revealed that “we’ll see in a few weeks,” leaving fans wondering—could he really be gearing up for a comeback in Pro Motocross Round 1?
For those who’ve followed Tomac’s journey, the idea of a return this soon feels almost surreal. After his injury, many believed we wouldn’t see him back until much later in the year—if at all. But if there’s one thing fans have learned about Eli, it’s that he doesn’t follow anyone’s timeline but his own. Now, with just weeks until the outdoor season kicks off, the door appears slightly cracked open.
This subtle teaser was enough to send a ripple through the motocross community. Social media exploded with speculation, fan theories, and even potential bike setups people think Yamaha might be prepping. Could Tomac be eyeing not just a return—but a statement return? If anyone could do it, it’s him.
What adds more weight to the buzz is that Tomac hasn’t completely ruled out one more appearance in Supercross either. While it’s clear his main focus is on the outdoors, he left just enough ambiguity to keep fans dreaming. The idea of him showing up for the final round of Supercross, even just to get a gate drop in before Pro Motocross, would be legendary—and exactly the kind of surprise move that adds to his legacy.
From a competitive standpoint, his return would instantly shake up the Pro Motocross standings. Riders who thought they had the field wide open will suddenly have to contend with one of the most dominant outdoor racers in the sport’s history. And with Tomac’s hunger to end his career on a high note, he’s not just coming back to ride—he’s coming back to win.
Still, all of this hinges on the next few weeks. His recovery progress, fitness, and overall feeling on the bike will ultimately determine the move. But the fact that he’s even talking about it publicly tells us one thing: he’s thinking like a racer again. And when Eli Tomac starts thinking like a racer, things tend to get interesting—fast.
So, whether you’re a lifelong fan or just someone who appreciates the thrill of a comeback story, keep your eyes on the calendar. Because if all goes right, we could be witnessing the return of one of motocross’s greats—right at the starting gate of Round 1.
