Eli Tomac statement as Claims Historic Victory at Vancouver Supercross

 

In an exhilarating display of speed and skill, Eli Tomac clinched the first Vancouver Supercross victory in two decades during Round 1 of the World Supercross Championship at BC Place. His triumph marked a significant moment for both Tomac and the event, which had not seen a winner crowned in Vancouver since the early 2000s.

The evening kicked off with a thrilling SuperPole session, where Ken Roczen showcased his prowess by clocking in at 50.742 seconds, setting the fastest time of the day. Tomac and Joey Savatgy were close behind, demonstrating that the competition would be fierce throughout the evening.

As the first moto commenced, Roczen maintained his momentum, leading the charge and leveraging his title as the defending WSX champion. However, the three-race format allowed Tomac to regroup and strategize for the subsequent

rounds. His tenacity paid off as he secured victories in both the second and third races, ultimately snatching the overall win.

“It was a fantastic evening of racing,” Tomac expressed after the event. “Kenny rode well in the first two races, and we were battling out there. I found my rhythm in the last couple of races, and everything just clicked. The energy from the Vancouver crowd was incredible, and I’m looking forward to the next round in Perth.”

Joey Savatgy also delivered a commendable performance, finishing third, second, and third in the three motos, which secured him the overall third place. His consistency throughout the races highlighted his competitive spirit and determination on the track.

As the Vancouver Supercross concluded, fans were treated to an unforgettable night of racing, setting the stage for what promises to be an exciting season in the World Supercross Championship. With Tomac’s victory and Roczen’s impressive performance, the rivalry continues to heat up as the series moves forward, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the next round in Perth.
