In a sport defined by grit, speed, and precision, Eli Tomac has once again demonstrated that he is more than just a top-tier rider—he is the benchmark for greatness. Tomac has been named the “Most Impactful Motocross/Supercross Racer” for the 2025 season, defeating a formidable field of outstanding opponents that included Ken Roczen, Chase Sexton, Cooper Webb, and Jett Lawrence.
Tomac, affectionately known as “The Man, The Myth,” has had a year that goes beyond statistics. At 32, many questioned whether the Yamaha veteran would recover from injury with the same zeal that had marked his career in the past. What’s the answer? A resounding yes.
Dominance Reasserted: Tomac’s 2025 campaign has been a redemption story. After a serious Achilles injury threatened to terminate his racing career in 2023, Tomac spent 2024 recovering physically and mentally. The end result was a surgical return to the top of the Supercross podium, with many wins and the season’s most consistent performance.
Tomac is distinguished for the aura he brings to the track, in addition to his results. Whether navigating nasty ruts, tackling technical parts, or going elbow-to-elbow with the sport’s best, Tomac rode with calculated aggression and race IQ that few could equal.
Beating the Best.
This prize did not come easily. Tomac’s opponents were hardly pushovers:
Ken Roczen: Renowned for his tenacity and panache, Roczen continued to captivate audiences and remain a top competitor.
Chase Sexton, the reigning Supercross champion in 2023, has pushed the frontiers of technical racing.
Cooper Webb is a two-time winner and one of the sport’s most powerful mental warriors.
Jett Lawrence: The 20-year-old wonder maintained his rapid climb and emerged as a fan favorite.
Nonetheless, in a sport enamored with youth and speed, Tomac’s tenacity, leadership, and savagery stood out.
