Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha’s Eli Tomac says he’s back on the motorcycle and is eyeing a return to racing at the Budds Creek round of the Pro Motocross Championship, August 17. Tomac injured his thumb at the Denver Supercross and has been sidelined ever since.
Tomac said via social media on Sunday evening, “Finally back on the motorcycle tomorrow! I’ve been out on my MTB a few times, trying to build confidence and strength back in my thumb. It’s been a long recovery but now starting to make real progress with the pins removed. When will I be back? That’s still TBD, but I’m sure after a few rides, I’ll know a realistic timeframe. Hoping for around Budds Creek.”
Tomac is hoping to get a few races under his belt before the SuperMotocross Playoffs, which get underway, September 7.CN
