GEICO Honda rider Eli Tomac out for the season

CORONA. Calif. (June 2) -- Superstar motocross rider Eli Tomac will miss the rest of the outdoor season following a hard crash Saturday at the Thunder Valley National in Denver that injured both of his shoulders. The GEICO Honda rider had won the first five 450cc class motos of the season and was leading the second race in Denver when he went down on his own in a difficult section of the track.

"Eli was understandably upset when we were talking a little while ago," team co-owner Jeff Majkrzak said. "Obviously, after the start he's had, we were all hoping for a championship run. Injuries are an unfortunate part of this sport, and this one is very tough for all of us."

Majkrzak reports that Tomac's left shoulder has suffered a 100 percent tear of the rotator cuff, requiring immediate surgery. His right shoulder, which was dislocated in the crash and later put back into place by the Asterisk medical team, will most likely need surgery as well.

Comment by will on June 2, 2015 at 4:40pm: Update today from Racer X -
We got an update from GEICO Honda PR man Rob Geiger today regarding Eli Tomac's status for this weekend's Muddy Creek National. Eli dislocated his right shoulder in his Thunder Valley crash on Saturday, but the medics were able to get the shoulder back in at the track, and so far it doesn't feel too bad. MRI results on that shoulder are due today.

The bigger trouble is actually the left shoulder, which Eli also slammed into the ground pretty hard. Mobility is extremely limited in that shoulder, and it could be the bigger issue in determining if Eli can race this weekend. According to the email we received from Geiger, "We are in wait and see mode."

Pending MRI results, the right shoulder might turn out okay. The left shoulder could be the one watched 'round the motocross world. Stay tuned.

Eli Tomac hopes to race at Muddy Creek.

The Early report from the GEICO Honda Team says that Eli Tomac will most likely suit up and race for next weekend’s Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross at Muddy Creek in Tennessee.

Tomac, who won the first five 450 motos of the year before crashing and suffering a dislocated shoulder in the second moto at Thunder Valley, May 30, is “just fine,” according to the team.

"Eli is receiving further evaluation following a dislocated shoulder in the second moto," GEICO Honda team co-owner Jeff Majkrzak said. "The Asterisk medical team was able to put his shoulder back in place at the track, and Eli is otherwise just fine. We hope to have him back next week."

If Tomac does compete, he’ll no doubt have to deal with the pain and instability that usually go along with this injury.

Tomac now trails Ryan Dungey by three points and has little opportunity to let the injury heal, with the Muddy Creek National coming up this weekend and the High Point National in Pennsylvania next week before there is a break in the series.

"I had a good little battle with Ken there and snuck around him,” Tomac said of the second moto at Colorado. “Then at that point I tried to stay on two wheels because this track is really, really rutted today. It can come up and bite you."
