ELI TOMAC
Pulling into round six of the Outdoor National season, Eli Tomac is reaching the half way point with a zero in the win column. Clearly the next in line, behind Roczen, the entire industry has been caught in a mysterious wander as to what could be hold the Colorado kid back from the dominance he displayed in 2015. Is it his
confidence? Well, by the impression of Tomac’s composure, it doesn’t seem likely. Is it Ken Roczen’s pure speed? It could be but that doesn’t mean that Eli isn’t capable. Without any further angles to research, it comes down to execution and the Tomac knows it. Eli has shown his awareness and has inched himself closer to overtaking Roczen and the top spot. Last weekend in Tennessee, Tomac made it known to Roczen that the green #3 will not back down, showing the German a wheel or two in both motos before he was awarded 2nd overall. Unfortunately, heading into round six, Tomac has been left to find something extra to overtake Ken but the Colorado Cowboy can never be counted out. It won’t be long until Eli has regained whatever piece he’s been missing, and will make his push towards the front. On the all-American weekend, the all-American kid hopes for big things.
